The extra TLDs were a mistake. We really needed fewer TLDs, not more. At least if everything were under it's own country code it would be obvious what country's laws apply to disputes about who should own it but instead we have a legal mess.
When you do this you get intermediaries who subscribe for you and send you your login info. In Spain there were a few satellite people who did this +vpn.
Well, not so much. Remember when Snakes on a Plane was everywhere on social media? Turns out very few people actually went to watch it. Sometimes things trend on social media because people are making fun of it or telling each other how much they hate it.
Not all wireless access points can do that. The newer Linksys wifi routers for instance, comes with "cloud config" where you setup your basic connection and it gets the rest from their servers. The upshot of this, is that if it cannot connect to their servers from the uplink port, it will reset it's config and do nothing until someone logs in and re configures it.
Thankfully it doesn't need to do the full gigabit. I managed 126mbps downstream and 20.4 mbps upstream so my connection is maxed so that was all I cared about at the time.
This is not as good as it appears. Their "Enterprise router" has 128 mb ram and there is no way that's going to hold up to a significant amount of simultaneous (connections let alone the 64 mb ram that most of the devices have,
Asus has some inexpensive wireless routers that come with "AP mode" where NAT etc get disable and the device only authenticates Wifi and acts as a bridge.
It has been ages since the Linux kernel maintainers modified the kernel to avoid excessive buffering so that's not really a problem anymore. With small amount of ram typical of most home routers, you end up with a NAT table overflow where the device can't keep track of all of the connection and either expires old connections early, refuses to allow new ones, or in Cisco's case hard crashes. It doesn't take much to run into the limits, I have seen bittorrent bring a home router to it's knees.
Not in a Google city but I have 120 mbps down and 20 mbps up. I ended up buying a couple of giabit cards for an HP Pentium 4 desktop with 4 gb ram I had laying around and it manages to easily keep up with the abuse I throw at it.
Having said that, sometime in the future I will replace it with a $100 Chinese Atom mini desktop with 2 ethernet ports just to eliminate the fan noise in my livingroom.
Or you can go with something like the HP washable. I love mine, it feels like a proper keyboard and every month or so I stick it under the kitchen sink and hose it off with hot water. It has lasted 4 years so far and I am not nice to keyboards.
You have to remember the place is a large personality cult run by a childish megalomaniac and many North Koreans think they have it better than those in the south. Even if they know better, they must still act as if they have total faith that North Korea is the best place in the world to live if they want to avoid a reeducation camp or worse yet (especially if they are in leadership) execution.
Mainly because that flap involved very few of the actual technical people and people got upset long after the decision was already made. It also seems to be the case that some trolls went off on a misinformation campaign complete with fake bug reports. Quite frankly, I was terrified of systemd from what I was reading here, but then I actually read up on the subject and realized most of what people have been saying about it is false.
Now that I've actually tried it, my desktops boot faster and I have had a much easier time customizing the boot sequence of some of the servers I maintain.
I have always been in favour of people voting on individual issues rather than for representational democracy. We have the technology; that is if we can get citizens to keep up with passphrases and singing keys.
No, we really don't. The current system allows everyone to go to some central place and cast their vote. Why? Because then there are witnesses around to make sure that nothing improper happens. In a totally online system, what prevents coercion? What happens when a boss demands all employees vote the way he wants? Or some lead family member? Some neighbourhood bully?
Until we figure that out, we don't have the technology to all vote on each issue from our homes.
In fact, that's what made me so angry about it. Before that, somehow I had always ended up with Dell laptops and I simply upgraded my wireless card every year or two and I didn't even know that locking the internal ports was a thing so I didn't know to even check for it.
No, the BIOS on ThinkPad machines prevents booting if non-approved cards are connected to the internal ports. Though I thought this was relatively common with laptops.
From my experience far it's common to HP and Lenovo but not Acer or Dell. I'm sure there is a more complete list of who does this somewhere.
You have never tried this have you? If you add a third party wireless card to a Lenovo laptop, it fails the boot before it ever gets to the OS level. I had to take the card out and flash with a custom bios image and then put the card back.
In fact, the only part of what I said that was even close to OS level software dependant, was the battery expiry. My friend's laptop won't even charge a third party battery if it's off.
A much bigger weakness will be Lenovo's desire to DRM the crap out of it like they already do with their wifi cards and batteries. I had to hack the bios on my Lenovo laptop to make it boot with an "unauthorized wireless card" and since then they have gotten worse. My friend's laptop refused to charge until he removed the battery management crapware they installed that expired a perfectly good battery and the laptop itself refuses to charge third party batteries. I will never buy another Lenovo product and that's even before that root certificate indecent.
This is not as hard a problem as you would think. Step one was installing the update notifier plugin and loading a cron job to ping the Wordpress cron script a couple of times a day (not needed on higher traffic sites) so I know when updates need to happen.
Then I installed the "wp-cli" script and added a script that grabs a backup of the database and web files before running the following commands: wp core update wp core update-db wp theme update --all wp plugin update --all
Then.. wrap that in another script that cycled through all of the sites on my system and Wordpress becomes completely painless as long as no one has done anything crazy like mod the actual Wordpress php files..
You clearly don't know what you are talking about, PostgreSQL replication supports multi-master topology clusters using BDR (BI-directional replication).
I really wanted BDR to work for the last project I needed a cluster for. The problem was that the the documentation for BDR hadn't been updated to the new changes they made and since the whole project was still in beta, there was no guarantee the some change they made would not break my setup.

And how do I update the web page on our IP KVM switch?
My ISP sold me 120/20 and I've pushed it to 126/20.5. Even during peak I get decent transfers. Not all ISPs suck.

That's from 2002 and I wonder if that's even true of Cisco anymore. I have watched Cisco firewalls hard crash with too many connections on 256 mb ram.
This site seems to indicate 16 KB per connection, which doesn't leave much once you've subtracted the memory needed for OS/daemons etc..

Statistically, children are far more likely to run into pedophiles in their family or in positions of authority than randomly on the street.

Believe me, I absolutely hate clustering on MySQL/MariaDB, it's just that PostgreSQL's is worse.
