I'm left with just questions at this point. Assume production, not development or UAT or staging or integration, etc. How do you enforce that kind of compliance on SSH sessions? How do you audit for SSH sessions that invoke commands th

The PXE client is implemented in firmware, but for the PXE client to have anything to talk to, there's a sizable amount of moving parts to configure just right in order for it to work well. Those moving parts often include telling your

More aptly, FPU and MMU hardware were incredibly expensive in the late 1980's and early 1990's, and the amount of RAM to sustain running A/UX would've crept you closer into workstation territory anyway. Keep in mind that

Er, no, the transliteration of "ö" to "oe" does not change the sound. This is considered a feature of the orthography of German, and you see this kind of thing in, e.g., crossword puzzles.

I'd argue that the DJB ecosystem has an almost-zero learning curve if you have a decent grasp on your systems fundamentals. As long as you understand how process handling works, the administrivia of DJB's tools is dirt simple. It

Oddly enough, even for large (>=1e5 physical machines) systems, grep works fine. Better yet, if the logs are important, you're shunting them off for some sort of longer-term storage for post-processing and indexing _anyway_, irrespe

You know, I had always wondered why, despite having 16GB of RAM in my X230 (and having had 16GB in my X301), the newer X240 and X250 models are capped at 8GB. Knowing that it's an Intel marketing thing certainly clears up my confusion.
