Not sure how using discord really solves the evil admin scenario though? Since the game server admin will still be able to see your IP Address. I really have a hard time imagining a scenario where I can trust the game server admin, but not

The game server admin also sees your IP address though? So unless you are only hanging out on discord and not actually playing you are still exposing your IP address. Also only the voice server admin sees the IP address and not every user o

> You are missing the bandwidth charges. Which tips the balance even further in the direction of the root server/dedicated server providers, since not only is the server cheaper but so are the bandwidth charges (usually by a lot).

Not sure your analogy really works here, since languages like Haskell, Rust, etc. will tell you at compile-time that you have made some mistake. That's not how systemd (or any init system) works though. Things break at runtime. It sure
245.
by welterde 6y ago
Exactly my point. You have to configure all dependencies correctly as well as have all the dependencies themselves configured correctly to make systemd aware at what point they are ready (which again can be non-trivial to do). It is much le

For me systemd created more race-conditions than it fixed (especially if the old init system started things serially). Getting it right in serial fashion is fairly easy, but since systemd insists on doing as much as possible in parallel you

Another option than the mentioned CM4 module might be some RK3399 based SBC, such as the Rockpro64, which comes with a PCIe x4 interface (the Rockpro64 has a open PCIe slot so you could put in a x16 card too). If you just want to hook up so

It still looks fairly active - not completely drowned out by spam coming from google.. As for NNTP access: eternal-september.org might be an option, but there are still quite a few NNTP servers ticking with open registration.

Sadly the limits for the free tier look too low to even run this CLI ticker application off of it (or is it possible to query more than one symbol in one API call?).

On the face of it that does sound even worse.. Instead of just having to fix those issues once you will now have to fix them in every desktop environment/window manager equivalent?

That's still price gouging imho. For the same amount of money you can get 5-10G of transit bandwidth from large carriers. How can it be cheaper for the big carriers to transport my packets halfway around the planet than for Microsoft t

Unlike the Outlook+Exchange combination Sieve is an actual open standard (RFC 5228 & RFC 5804 & co) though that can be implemented by all mail servers and mail clients. Or is the Outlook+Exchange feature based on the same? Looking a

That feature of course needs support server-side, but Thunderbird does have a Sieve add-on (in case sieve is enabled/available on the server). I don't use it myself, since I prefer to edit the sieve filter file directly instead of

So it really depends on what one consider as the regular user interface. One could easily write a small (web or desktop) application that takes some plain text, appends it to a ledger file and creates a git commit. As well as only providing

While it is spooky interaction at a distance it can't be used to transfer information faster than light. In simple terms, the states are correlated, but you have no way to influence what they are. You get a random number and know insta

Perhaps - depends on the growth rate of the ISP and how many IPv4 addresses they already have (and how much money they are willing to spend to acquire more). But the real fix is to push your ISP to deploy IPv6. No need for the ISP to run ca

Might be worth pestering their support about it. There are lot of knobs the networking team can fiddle with to improve things. For the traffic flowing from Hetzner to your ISP it's under the control of Hetzner which upstream provider t

When was that roughly (recently or years ago?) and what was the cause? In any case one should never forget that RAID is not the same thing as backup (which applies to a lot of not quite RAID solutions as well).

Not exactly.. ARM doesn't really produce their own chips and there are manufacturers that use ARM cores that produce chips in the EU (ST, Infinion and NXP as well I think) and US (TI). AMD still has GlobalFoundries produce things for t

But clearly no one is saying that email is too hard to use and we should just use $something_else (or are they?). And you are starting to move goalposts here.. first it was uptime, then it was operations and now it's features... And wh

Is it really though? If I take a look at a random modern IRC desktop client - how is it more difficult to setup than say your email program? The amount of information needed on setup is about the same: server, username, password (in fact em

If you are the only technical person on your team then it's of course not ideal and would require some further thought into making things redundant. But even that is easy enough to do with IRC (setup two servers, link the irc servers t

I would be surprised if you couldn't match or exceed slacks uptime running whatever alternative you want (IRC, mattermost, rocketchat, etc.) on a random dedicated server. Hardware is quite reliable these days. And updates can be schedu

IRC may be out these days, but at least deploying a small IRC server for the own team is really not that much effort anymore and doesn't incur that much ongoing maintenance work either.

In what areas would you find such requirements? And shouldn't the default position be that it is illegal to keep those logs? Especially those involving direct messages between employees.
