  1. longaccess.com on Ask Slashdot: With Whom Do You Entrust Your Long Term Data? · · Score: 1

    There is a startup called Long Access http://www.longaccess.com/ that offers a long-term cloud storage using encrypted data and personal certificates for the encryption. The data stored is AES256 encrypted, and the certificates/keys needed for the decryption are in the user's posession. They recommend the safekeeping of a printout of the certificate that would likely be possible to read in 30 years time.

    Take a look at their FAQ for more details.

    Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with them, I used to work with one of the founders in the past.

  2. Re:Package management in RH's future on Ask Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik · · Score: 1

    Fedora up2date supports apt and yum repositories just fine.

    Since I have no experence in apt, I tried yum as more "rpm-oriented". It just works. I upgraded a couple of workstations through 2 betas to Fedora Core 1 using only yum. (Forgot all about entitlements and registrations in rhn).

    Oh yeah, and AltaVista has Babblefish, that's cool too.

  5. Re:Thoughts from someone who adminsters both on How to Fix the Unix Configuration Nightmare · · Score: 1
    The exception here is the redhat /etc/sysconfig tree where everything is basically just loading of env vars for other scripts. Not commented, minimal defaults, if you need to figure out something it's dig through docs or read the rc scripts yourself to figure out what to set in it. Yack...

    Yes, this is extremely obnoxious. I did find though after deep searching useful documentation in /usr/share/doc/initscripts-xxx/sysconfig.txt

    > violates the end-to-end principle at the IP layer,

    I think you mean at the TCP layer. IP is not end-to-end.

  9. Re:NT, Linux, NetBSD on Mindcraft Study Validated · · Score: 3

    You still don't get it, do you?

    What have been people saying here?

    In these benchmarks linux was not so good NOT due to kernel, but due to www server.
    You mean NetBSD can use less CPU while sending TCP/IP stuff?
    Or NetBSD uses less CPU while running many processes?

    At these tests people are actually comparing www server aplications. They should run the SAME www server on all OSs if they wanted OS benchmarks.
