“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is

Well I am referring to the use of client certificates for identity. You might not need to have SRTP in the middle of a big telecom network, like one that handles millions of calls per day, just at the edges where you interconnect with other

I read through a summary from a different source and I was not impressed. Any voip phone, and of course smart phone, can be easily set up for client side certificates. Landlines and anything else that can be accessed via SS7 methods are alr

I am switching to Devuan which is Debian without the service manager known as systemd (not trying to flame about systemd but it is no longer my preference) . So far it has worked great for me on my test laptop and I will be rolling out some

Congratulations to nginx. It could be an acqui-hire or it could be a defensive move by F5.

16GB of RAM is $89 retail at the local Microcenter, in 2x8gb sticks. Not seeing how adding a bit more RAM would quadruple the price. Pine sells a 4gb RAM sbc for what, $59? Edit : "Pricing will remain the same with the 1GB model priced
