My experience with the AWS console is that I get a 12-hour session upon logging in, and I never have to reauthenticate.

No, I'm not noticed this. That said, in the past (2years+) I have contacted AWS support about an instance that wouldn't start and was told shutting down from within an instance would normally work, but was not officially supported

Ah. The debian-cloud mailing list announcement for the new images just landed in my inbox. The archive[1] has yet to update. [1]: https://lists.debian.org/debian-cloud/2014/02/threads.html

I can't find any official announcement of it, but it looks like there are now official HVM AMIs available with the release of 7.4: https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/AmazonEC2Image/Wheezy

As a google apps admin for my work I backup the entire domain's emails - there are a bunch of companies offering this as a service these days. As a personal google mail user I use offlineimap to synchronise with a local maildir for bot

I think oleganza is referring to the fact a new block should be generated roughly every 10 minutes, and until the transaction has been confirmed you can attempt a double-spend.

Or, more likely, Python and Ruby developers can distrust it equally ;)

It's perfectly valid. "X and I" is only valid if the sentence makes sense if you only used "I". This article makes one valid use of "me and X": > in an effort to score extra points with me and Carl. If

This just uses a literal dollar sign to mark the end of the prompt by default. That means if, like me, you don't put the username in your PS1 - instead relying on $ changing to a # when you run `sudo -s' nothing will happen. I wou

Cisco IPSec endpoints are more than capable of split horizon (split-DNS too) without having to bodge it on the client side. If it isn't configured then netsec doesn't want split horizon. There is likely a company policy that if yo

Contrived, sure, but you could use these exploits to upload all files added to the card somewhere, assuming it can find a wireless network to connect to. Maybe even just keep a hidden copy on the part of the FS invisible to the host system

> at least now society in general has taken the red pill No, this echochamber has been forced to take the red pill. "Society in general" most definitely has not, if you take 'general' to mean 'majority'.

Indeed. I'm going to start calling myself a data scientist now, instead of a sysadmin. See if I can't get a raise.

Late reply, sorry. I went with reprepro to maintain my apt repo. It's nice, but has one major drawback which may be a showstopper, depending on your use case. It can only keep one version of a package at a time in each distribution.

No, they're actually using this trick to do the exact opposite. If you right click and say 'copy link' you'll get the t.co URL, but if you select the partially rendered URL and ^C you get the full (non-shortened) URL in your clipboard.
