ZFS also has the "set copies=n" option which stores a file multiple (n) times. If you really want maximum protection, you can try something like this:
- use ZFS mirroring
- use "set copies" to store files multiple times (You can even use this is in a single-disk non-mirroring setup as well).
- use "zfs send" and "zfs receive" over SSH to make offsite backups to a remote ZFS machine (or multiple machines).

This is from the MIT license, I'm sure other open-source licenses have a similar clause. It basically tells you that using this software, is at your own risk.
Not really. Even when SSL is used, a redirect to HTTP can be forced. If the cookie doesn't have the "Secure" flag, it will happily send the cookie over HTTP in this case.
>> 7. People realise that running their own DNS is more resilient?
LOL! You think so? Let's say your own DNS infrastructure is a victim of this attack with the same magnitude. Are you able to handle this?
There is a easy solution: Don't make your DNS a single point of failure. Make sure your DNS records are mirrored on two different DNS providers, and make sure you list all IP addresses of both providers' DNS servers in your registrar's settings.
That's what we did. We have our DNS records on Dyn and another provider. We barely were impacted.
I never used the headphone jack on my phone. While I go running, I use a BT headset and my car also has BT connectivity.
Besides, an adapter is included. It's not that big of a drama.
The biggest complainers fall in the category of either:
- "I will never buy an iPhone, but now it lost the headphone jack, I will certainly NEVER going to buy one!!", raging fists included.
- People who consider everyone who buys this as "dumb" or "sheeple". However, the missing audio-jack is not a deal-breaker for most current iPhone users. There are lots of other interesting upgrades that makes current iphone users consider upgrading.
- People who, for some reason, are offended that other people buy products that they personally don't like.
The only users who have real reasons to complain, are the ones who use both the audio-jack and the lightbolt adapter at the same time (like when your car doesn't have BT yet, and use the aux-in option). But that's like 1 or 2 percent of the current iPhone users.
Oh, and I'm not an Apple "fanboy" btw, so spare me the insults
I have a managed switch, and an Intel NUC with one network interface. Luckily, the NIC supports VLAN. I installed the free VMWare ESXi on the NUC, and attached it to the managed switch (port configured as "trunk"). I created two VLANS: one for the incoming internet connection, and one for local network. Then, I created a virtual machine with two virtual NIC's for each VLAN. Then I Installed VyOS router on it. The ESXi software is installed on a cheap usb-stick which is plugged into the intel NUC, and I use my Synology NAS for storage for the virtual machines (using NFS). So, no internal hard disk required for the NUC.
So now, I have a single machine with only one NIC, acting as a router:-) This was just for testing purposes, but it worked quite nice. I'm sure you can also plug a usb wifi-dongle in the NUC, and assign it to one the VM's you want to act as a wifi hotspot.
Where do you get the idea that DevOps equals to one person being both the developer and doing the operational support? DevOps is about bringing the development-people and operations-people closer to together. It's not about eliminating either.
Actually, it's quite simple: DevOps is an ATTITUDE. Nothing more, nothing less.
For Developers: No more: "It works on my machine, It's Operations' problem now".
For SysOps: No more: "I won't automate it because then everyone can do it and I like job protection."
That DevOps-attitude has a goal: Continuous Delivery. Automate your deployments, so you can deploy at any moment. Involve your developers in the monitoring proces, so they can get involved when things go wrong in production.
Overreacting much? You still have a choice on HOW you store your data in the cloud. I keep a backup of my personal data in Amazon S3, but I'm using Duplicity, which encrypts my data with GPG.
And solved for 30 years? Really? I don't recall having a backup service like this 30 years ago with such uptime, and certainly not in my own home.
If I recall correctly, the USB issues have been fixed for quite a while now. Only the first-gen Pi's suffered from this, I think. I have a working wifi adapter on my Pi, and it never gives me issues.
Since the model B was upgraded to 512Mb, I think the Model A will upgraded too.
Basically, there are two sides to implementing SPF and DKIM:
- Outgoing mail: yes, it's probably a good idea to set up SPF and DKIM on your outgoing mail-servers and DNS. You'll less likely end up in the "junk" folder of Hotmail or GMail. Setting up SPF and DKIM is actually not as hard as some people seem to think. There are enough free services on the Internet that will check if your config is correct. While you are at it, make sure your mailserver is configured to use the STARTTLS SMTP command. Most spammers don't use TLS over SMTP, so it's a little extra that can give you an advantage in anti-spam filters.
- Incoming mail: this is where most of the problems arise. There are a lot of mail servers out there that don't implement it, or don't implement correctly. For my personal mail setup (which runs on PostFix), I decided to implement them as they should be (SPF softfail/hardfail according to sender DNS records etc...). If you run a business, this might result in loss of business mail, so might want to ignore SPF and DKIM
TL;DR: Configure it for your outgoing email, ignore it for incoming mail. ("Be Strict with Yourself and Lenient Towards Others" - Fan Chunren )
And why do you assume that the aliens are any better than us?
Q: Why would an alien civilization contact us in the first place?
A: Because they need something from us.
We already know that providing modern technology to civilizations that are not on the same level as us, is not a good idea. Since an alien civilization is more advanced than us (I mean, they are able to visit earth, while we are not capable of visiting other inhabitable planets yet), they already know that too.
So the only reason they would contact us, is if they need something from us, and they need it very badly. And they will probably take it by whatever means necessary.
An alien civilization that contacts us, means big trouble, no matter what...
Do some research about what we did during the colonization of Africa. The same story goes for the discovery of America. We promised them "civilization", promised them better lives, but in the end we just exploited the native population for our own benefits.
If suddenly an alien civilization would show up and make the same promises, we are in deep trouble...

MS stores EU email data on EU servers only.
Wasn't this the reason that AWS came up with "dedicated hosts"?

Out of curiosity: why do you need it now? Which IPv4 limit is causing your issues at the moment? Are you a DNS provider or something?

Except that Muslims that have integrated with Western society don't make the media headlines...
There are lots of Muslims who don't believe that IS and terrorism are the answer.
This is not about universal charger cables, but universal chargers. Apple chargers have a USB port, and include a USB-to-lightning cable.
So yes, Apple is already mostly compliant with EU regulations. Replacing the USB-A connector with a micro-USB is an easy change for Apple.

Unless it's an RLL or MFM controller. Good luck finding a USB adapter for those.
Yes, and OS/2 could run almost all Windows 3.1 and DOS applications too.
That strategy didn't work for them in the long run either...

It probably involves magnets...

You can easily fix it by putting it in the microwave again, and setting it to "defrost".
Sure, but a programming language should not work AGAINST the programmer, and this is exactly what PHP does.
Take a look at this page, and no, it's not an anti-php rant, but an overview of actual facts about PHP:
http://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/...
I made a few PHP projects myself, but since I discovered Python and Django Framework, I would never go back to PHP again.
I found a copy of the Palm 5r3 SDK here:

Didn't download this myself, so I don't know if the docs are in there too.
