VyOS is just software. So nothing to purchase there. It's what I use when I need either a virtual router, or want to use commodity hardware to act as a router. It's great to throw in ESXi or another hypervisor, or even EC2. It com

I would say it's nice enough for more than just "small" stuff. Depending on your definition of "small", I guess. I'm running a VyOS machine (old desktop with a couple of NICs) which handles the traffic for our

I grew up on azerty. Switched to British qwerty when I lived there, haven't gone back. It's by far, for me, the best programming keyboard. I'm in Denmark now, and I'm appalled to see how bad the Danish keyboard is for pr

Point of note: a lot of USB-C multi-port dongles that provide Ethernet don't support 1GbE. Quite a few of them cap out around 120Mbit/s. I've asked our office admin to purchase the Juice Systems flat dongle with Ethernet, as

The rule of thumb that I apply is to use a very strong, very hard to remember vault password, and to write that down and store it with your taxes or something. The reasoning being that the thief breaking into your home doesn't care abo

I used to be the lead developer on an IVR/PBX SaaS solution. It hasn't been necessary to have dedicated hardware for years (ever since out-of-band DTMF has been a thing). The only reason that companies buy it is because they'

Well, that's a cute line of defense, but pretty obvious if hand-waving if you ask me. "You're too low on the ladder to know what I'm talking about." You're the one who accuses Mozilla and Google, of different t

Just to clarify: you typically don't have any files under `/`. It is literally the `root` of the directory structure. Nothing else. It could theoretically not be mounted at all, if all subdirectories are mounted individually (or i

It's an internal dispatcher, that understands how the load balancing works. We're working on maybe having this natively done through HAproxy or the likes. The protocol is just WebSocket, so any WebSocket enabled load balancer will

Hey, Sebastian from Realm here. Team lead on the object server. Definitely happy to hear that. We've poured a lot into this, and we still have so much to implement and do. Looking forward to improving your workflow even further in the

You don't actually need write access to a file/directory to delete it. You only need write access to the parent (removing or adding a file modifies the container, not the contained). Remove write access to the parent directory, wh

Long time cyclist and motorbiker here. If you're going down a hill and you need to do an emergency stop, the back wheel won't do you any good. The rule of thumb I was taught was that the back wheel will only provide 1G of decelera

I think Grooveshark helped me create more code than coffee did for the few years it was active. Just wanted to take a moment to thank you, and all the others who worked on it for making that possible. I know I wasn't alone to feel very

There's a number of reasons to use "we" in this context. There's the inclusive we, and the exclusive we. For example, "We defeated the Nazis in WWII" clearly means that the person talking considers himself part

I worked for a few years at a company that provided a SaaS IVR product. Think call centre call routing, and PBX features on any dumb phone. As people shy away from phone calls, and with the competition of VoIP, we gradually saw the erosion

Going to take it from the top. Skip down for the actual pepper information if you're already familiar with hashing and salting (I assume most people will be). Let's assume you want to store a password. The first, obvious step, is

It might be worthwhile for you to provide a link to either previous articles you've written, or more information about your group. Also, your auto-description appears to be extremely generic. I'd say every single blog I follow con

It looks like there's a change in strategy here, which goes against what I posted initially. I wasn't really aware of it, and it's still up for grabs on a case-by-case basis, but from the looks of it, we're now mainly in

Thanks for writing this. I can completely relate. I noticed this when I got my first job, some ten years ago. Back then, I was hacking on Maemo like crazy. I moderated newsgroups, I contributed code to anything I could, in any language that

This may not be a popular opinion, but for me read and retrieve are indicative of a side-effect. I consistently use retrieve to indicate fetching things from database, or remote locations (REST, RPC, whatever). Similarly, read, in the case

Check whether you can increase the Lift-Off Distance (LOD) in the mouse's configuration. I have a good quality mouse pad, but that specific material, combined with the specific sensor in my mouse meant that having an LOD setting of 1 (
