Nextcloud, and before it Owncloud, have been "in production" in my household for nearly a decade at this point. There have been some botched updates and sync problems over the years, but it's been by far the most reliable app

DO has been shockingly reliable for me. I shut down a neglected box almost 900 days uptime the other day. In that time AWS has randomly dropped many of my boxes with no warning requiring a manual stop/start action to recover them... Bu

I put a little analog clock on my desk that's set to UTC time. It helps a lot with converting logs to get a quick reference.

Another great lens to see this is "Normal Accidents" theory, where the argument is made that the most dangerous systems are ones where components are very tightly coupled, interactions are complex and uncontrollable, and consequen

This is another case where it's highly important to "plant your flag" [1] and set up all those services like Search Console, even if you don't plan to use them. Not only can this sort of thing happen, but bad-guys can fi

Even a radar reflector would have helped a lot. ADS-B is off-limits for balloons, ultralights, hang-gliders, etc, and it seems like now that radio beacons can be manufactured very cheap & low power all those non-commercial aerial vehicl

It's not inherently an American thing, it's the result of several mid-century zoning and urban design decisions. I used to live in a 1920s era "streetcar suburb" neighbourhood. I lived on the third floor, and the ground

I'm pretty "curious" when it comes to public networks. I'll scan coffee shops, stadiums, hotels, bus hotspots, anything I can connect to. Some networks are set up well, others not so much. I would never in a thousand yea

It's a culture problem. The real solution is to teach people to trust their security department. If there's trust and respect, they'll reach out without fear of reprisal and inform right away when there's a problem. If

Absolutely agree. I'm a huge fan of co-op type ownership structures for this reason. They might not be moonshots or unicorns, but they always have longevity.

An IX is the internet, or at least a small part of it. It's sort of a network where each device shares their "routes" with the others, and then propagates those routes back through their own network. They're exchangin

The storage itself is probably (mostly) on HDDs, but I'd imagine metadata, indices, etc are stored on much faster flash storage. At least, that's the common advice for small-ish Ceph cluster MDS servers. Obviously S3 is a few orde

I hope that this is used to strengthen privacy laws. But I know this will be used as pretext to enforce dubious "age verification" like we've seen in other countries.

I've toured a '60s era Cold War diesel-electric sub that's been a museum for ~20 years, and it still absolutely reeked of diesel. Combine that with the smell of a couple dozen dudes that haven't showered properly in week

One of the bigger issues is the double-hop problem. It's both an important security boundary, and one of the biggest butt-pains about the protocol. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/askds/understanding.

SSDs are worth it to me because the restore and rebuild times are so much faster. Larger HDDs can take several days to rebuild a damaged array, and other drives have a higher risk of failure when they're being thrashed by IO and runnin

> So: the matrix.org database secondary lost its FS due to a RAID failure earlier today (11:17 UTC). Then, we lost the primary at 17:26. We're trying to restore the primary DB FS (which could be fastish), while also doing a point-in

Best of luck to the team at Matrix/Element for restoring from a nasty outage.

You can take decades old fibre, stick some new transceivers on the ends, and have it run at the very latest speeds (unless it's cheap, damaged, etc) without having to pull it out and reinstall it. H100s will not age this well. It'

Expanding on the other comment, it's the mixture of snow, slush, salt, and loads of sand/grit that gets churned up by car tires into a brown and sticky slime. It sticks to boots, gets caked on cars behind the wheels, and gets trac

Surely this is just the link between financial well being (having enough money to spend on high quality food) and mental health? I guess "people with enough money to afford the food they want" isn't as catchy of a headline...

My understanding is that it just increases the "expense" of mass crawling just enough to put it out of reach. If it costs fractional pennies per page scrape with just a python or go bot, it costs nickels and dimes to run a headles
