At least where I am, the business class internet that I have access to doesn't come with static IPs and is approximately three times as expensive as residential for the same service level.

Residential IPs are generally proactively added to RBLs by the ISPs themselves as a form of spam protection. Before they started doing that it was basically whack-a-spammer all day every day for them.

Wildcard certs are (only?) issued from DNS-01 challenges. As long as the requester can satisfy the DNS challenge ACME doesn't care about key uniqueness.

Not the OP but my understanding is that you're probably fine if that metal conduit is grounded. If you're stringing ethernet around outside you want properly grounded surge suppressors on both ends.

ISS is in a very low and eccentric orbit. I think boosting from ISS to a geo transfer orbit, let alone escape, is more expensive than just going straight to escape velocity.

I know at least one person who would pay _very good money_ for a version of Slack that opened channels in separate windows.

Oh hey I just read the post about transceivers being slow only in one direction. I have the same problem on a different scale. Two X520T cards, one in a Dell T20 and the other in a Dell T30. Both connected with DACs to the CRS305. 9.somethi

Oh I have no idea. You'd need to do some digging. I picked the Intel card because it was decently priced and I knew it would be reasonably compatible with what I was doing. Sounds like maybe you want a quad SFP+ card?

I just picked up a Mikrotik CRS305 from Amazon and a pair of used Intel X520T dual SPF+ cards from eBay, plus a couple DAC (direct attach copper) cables for maybe $300 total. I'm very happy with the performance of this setup. One thing

The reason the US has a Senate with two senators per state, along with a clause that makes it the only section of the constitution that cannot be modified by amendment, is because of the institution of chattel slavery. The slave states had

Healthcare workers take many years to train. When they die of COVID, go on long term disability because of long COVID, or burn out because they can't mentally handle watching another willfully unvaccinated person die, that person is ir

This isn't something that can be willed away. Your acceptance means nothing to a virus. What's likely to happen is a covid vax will get rolled in with the quadrivalent annual flu vax so most people will just get one annual booster

This attitude is so peculiar and pernicious. As far as I can tell it's basically: when someone does something we find bad or wrong the only appropriate reaction is gratitude for their hard work and effort. Any other reaction could lead

Not to completely defend gerrymandering but districts are also drawn "oddly" to help ensure minority representation within a system with absurd constraints. If there were more representatives districts would be more granular and l

US-EAST-1 is the oldest, largest, and most heterogeneous region. There are many data centers and availability zones within the region. I believe it's where AWS rolls out changes first, but I'm not confident on that.

Ruby is also a pain in the butt, fwiw. It's just slightly better because gems are standardized, but you still need something like rbenv to manage Ruby versions, and gods help you if you need openssl.

Every offer letter I've ever received has language to the effect that it's contingent on a number of things, including a background check.

You also don't need a special license unless you're driving commercially. Anybody can drive a motorhome of any size.

The problem is the healthcare system. If the healthcare system collapses because doctors and nurses die, get long covid and can't work, or just burn out and leave, then the chances of dying from literally everything else go up signif

Massachusetts Bay Colony formed around a natural harbor that was already in use by native americans. The others I'll grant you.

Would you be willing to share what brings people there? Is it a retirement community?

Cities grow around something. In the past, that "something" has generally been a point-specific natural resource that can be exploited. Natural harbors, confluences of rivers, mines, etc. Sometimes cities grow around point-specifi

Really interested to see how this comes together. I wonder if it'll be something like an ESOP or worker collective.

Personally, as a senior engineer with a decade and a half of experience I dropped out of the Facebook process once I learned how it worked. I have much better things to do than stress about optimally solving two LC mediums in 40 minutes wit
