Precisely, thanks for reading. And technically I use it as a mini-cloud for cloud research. I modify hypervisors and do things no cloud in the world can :-)

So you believe I can buy 24 GB of non-ECC RAM for less than $30 ?

by theonewolf 12y ago
Mine are more like 8k RPM. And if you have a room to isolate them in, it's not so bad (watch temps!).

by theonewolf 12y ago
Agree with you and the OP, for me I always work with these servers (or am supposed to with my cloud research), and wanted to toy around with one on my own. The noise of the CS24-SC actually isn't so bad (as others report). The power is

This type of degenerative side effect though might especially express itself later in life: making you much more likely to develop say dementia earlier than a normal human. It's not like it would be an immediate side effect. Often brai

The problem is that children have developing brains, and this study doesn't take that into account. Could the drug "stunt" neurological development over the extent of a childhood? Even in low dosages? I wish we wouldn't

I would not say that we are not doing science. I would rather say we are doing science of the artificial---which looks a lot like design. See the Sciences of the Artificial by Herb Simon (a true legend): http://www.amazon.com&#x2

One more thought: check /var/log/auth.log You will probably see lots of attempts of logging into your system by bad guys (bots). I often even change my ssh port to something like 2424 and get rid of practically all scanning b

Hi, it is more than likely hackers attempting to exploit your system. This looks like probably an automated bot scanning your server. The best suggestion? Don't expose non-production-ready web apps to the Internet. Use port-forwarding

This. 100% this. I really liked the dashboard and presentation and saw immediate worth in the product. I then completely didn't want to use it as it wanted a _direct_ connection to my Redis server. And the code/commands would be

by theonewolf 12y ago
Also, another random thought. The commands they run are not under my control, nor is even the _timing_ of their commands under my control. Their commands might impact my production workload negatively. At least with a cron job or scheduled

by theonewolf 12y ago
It could be a simple script with a couple of commands you setup as a cron job. Similar to Loggly setup. Easily verifiable by hand as well if you wanted to. A direct connection which arbitrarily sends commands to my server? Completely unver

I'd be horrified at giving a _third-party_ write access to my production database. Heck, even _virus scanners_ from people like _Symantec_ can kill you with remote code execution---and they often have write access: http://we

(1) Probably _yes_ unless you are inside Amazon EC2 and use some special security group settings and (hope) that all traffic and access stays within EC2 networks. (2) It is impossible with the current setup to do that. also there's a (

This violates a direct security tenet espoused by Redis itself: "Redis is designed to be accessed by trusted clients inside trusted environments. This means that usually it is not a good idea to expose the Redis instance directly to th

This just moves the problem to space warfare, so things work...until your satellites are knocked out in space. But, I understand the premise. Personally I think another angle is important: more competition, hopefully leading to more accurat

You'd need something like ElephantFS whose presmise was precisely this. Modern file systems still don't protect user's data the way they should. http://shiftleft.com/mirrors/www.hpl.hp.com/personal&

How does pruning occur? It says it is limited to 150 people. Presumably over time you'd want new people/refresh the ranks. How do people get evaluated and eventually (in cases that need it) forcibly dropped?

by theonewolf 13y ago
The way I'd do this is have front-end load balancers just re-direct to a nginx configured just for this purpose.
114.
by theonewolf 13y ago
I think it's OK being a file system. All a fs is really is a specialized key-value store. Redis is a file system.

Right, but data integrity doesn't equate to security in my mind. If that's the main security claim, than I feel that much isn't new here or even "secure."
116.
by theonewolf 13y ago
Data integrity is just a small part of security. I wouldn't even call that security at all. I mean, we technically shouldn't trust our HDDs and should do data integrity checking at every level. I'm interested in what they me

It isn't clear to me how this system is secure. Very little is actually said on the website beyond using the word "secure" and the usage of the tool "ssh" (which could have been maliciously tampered with or man-in-

Yeah the conclusion isn't unsurprising. The interesting thing is---how will we build low latency apps on mobile devices? When the devices themselves introduce more latency when under load?
