The Tux penguin was suggested as the unofficial logo for the 2.0 release of Linux, which had SMP support and was a big deal. It half-jokingly received Linus' blessing and everyone has used it since. It's easy to see why, it is an

That makes even less sense, unless we are talking about XMODEM every protocol uses windowing to avoid getting stuck waiting for ACKs. Of course you need to wait for ACKs at some point though, otherwise they would be useless. That's h

Of course it has ACKs. There are protocols without ACKs but they are exotic and HTTP3 is not one of them.

I thought this would be about the other Linux logo, that preceeded the penguin: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/logos/platypus/llogo.gif

A nuked Earth is still more habitable than Mars, even on their best day. Wouldn't it be far easier and much more useful to colonize the ocean floor than other planets? It is, after all, 70% of the surface area that just sits there.

What's not funny is the amount of podcast episodes that are two guys summarizing the wikipedia article, trying to be funny. When civilization ends, we will look back at podcast episodes more numerous than the stars in the sky, and wond

That hit much too close to reality. It's exactly like that. Even the names were spot on!

Well, there's something to be said about the inability to capitalize long term. Britain has managed to be at the forefront of all those revolutionary technologies, but when the real break out happens somehow the Americans swoop in and

Is sending a plausible looking letter really all that's required? Does nobody ever call back to the Insurance Association of Norway (whatever they may be called) and check references? I mean, we check job seeker's references regul

If Javascript people were bad programmers, we wouldn't see two new frontend frameworks per year. Many of them are ambitious projects that must have had thousands of hours put in by people who know the language well. The observation is

To expand a bit on that, the i386 support that was recently deprecated to "partially supported" in Debian refers to project status. Unsupported architecture can not be considered blockers, for example. The packages are still being

That's just it. If any of the browser vendors put 1% of the work they spent on renewing their visual identity, remodeling their home page, or inventing yet another menu system into slightly easier to use client certificates (and smart

Why is it reasonable? I understand that it would be financially reasonable for a commercial endeavour, but isn't Firefox more like an open source project? Debian supports MIPS and SPARC still. Last I checked OpenSSL is kept buildable o

The registry, not the registrar (sorry, I managed to mistype above, despite trying to be careful about these terms). The comparison with the CA is apt. The registry signs the DS record. The model you suggest is a variant of what I allude to

Dokuwiki is my go-to tool for internal wikis. Unfortunately it won't help you with the two issues listed above: It's still PHP and there's no conflict resolution to speak of. It also hasn't changed much in two decades. W

No, it doesn't. It makes the registrar the CA. Which makes sense, they already authorize who owns which domain. They should absolutely do so cryptographically in some fashion. What's weird is that the major registrars never even t

Strong players in the web space are also trying to centralize DNS resolvers, using similar arguments. Moar encryption, much secure.
