Being a server is not about power, a $5 Digital Ocean VPS is a server and it has way less power than Macbook Air you mention as a client. The only thing about a server is that it serves to non local user(s) - it could be could be low powere

In the CRT days people would change resolution to get the DPI/text/widget size they wanted, almost no one I saw was using the highest resolution of their monitor as a result. It was easy to buy a CRT because you just picked the si

You can't realistically submit a patch to change the direction that Systemd's is going in. For example, they won't accept a patch which removes 95% of the code, so a more modular system can be built. Submitting a patch, impli

I'm not sure it really matters that rpm and deb solve the same problem unless you use different distros. However npm, gem, pip, composer mostly solve the same problem, but a different one to rpm, in that we want per-project dependancie

It's backup not primary storage. If they were going to spend the twice the cost, do you think there would be a least a single mention of this somewhere? anywhere? (I couldn't find one) This outage post makes no mention of a backup

I see no mention that they do that, clearly they trying to make this as cheap as possible. If the server is down people can wait for their recovery, many tape based backup systems require you to wait for 30 mins or more to get the backup wh

I don't think they are doing replication at all, don't see it mentioned. RAID6 is cheaper than replicating the files, which would mean twice as many servers.

by rythie 12y ago
Why would you need to do any of that? RAID6 can tolerate 2 drive failures and Linux will tell you which drive is bad. Just slide the pod out and replace the drive, no data lost, very little down time.

Sounds fairly straight forward... You need 256 requests to get one byte of clear text. A 160bit session key is likely to be 40 bytes, so that's 10,240 requests to get the session key - it might actually be less if you can take shortcut
