You hardly need to read between the lines to understand why ESR is terrified of codes of conduct. Or you can find that DF story where ESR's creepiness towards women was misattributed to RMS.

Within a short period my work BFF got RIF'd, my job transitioned from +/- 2 office days per week to permanent WFH, and I split with my wife and she took most of "our" social group with her. As introverted as I am, the su

Nice to finally have some exploration of how this tied into geopolitics. What I'd still like to see is... how did this influence domestic crypto policy and export controls? It seems entirely too coincidental that right after the cat is

Glances at shelves in garage containing many thousands of dollars worth of idle routers, switches, servers, and electronics. In relative terms I'm probably at least as bad.

I've been sitting here wondering why bringing HIBP into an existing non-profit foundation wasn't the desired outcome. Having HIBP under the control of corporate interests seems icky.

Data center space is generally plentiful. Power and cooling, which for most purposes can be considered equivalent, are the scarce resource. CloudFlare is trading half their server density[0] for a ~25% gain in performance-per-watt and perfo

So, I failed to actually state what I was trying to probe from you: Why do you view it as unethical to not consider Law Enforcement needs wrt strong end-to-end encryption?

Why should Law Enforcement have a seat at the table in the design of anything? Should my sneakers be made more uncomfortable so I can't run away too fast? Should they be able to remotely disable my car? Remotely open the blinds to my h

Lots of embedded Linux devices have hardcoded NTP servers. Was caught by surprise at this after I'd segregated a bunch of stuff to have no Internet access.

I suppose my model is that every connected device and app, every web site someone visits, is malware. My household is full of things collecting data and passing it on to entities I don't wish to share that data with. How do I stop that

Looks like an OCP mezzanine interface tho. If a server can take OCP mezz cards and the BMC can be managed in the same manner and with the same tools as a fully OCP-spec system, does it really matter that it's not in an OCP-spec chassis
