The apps are huge battery hogs - Facebook on Android is one of the worst offenders. Removing it virtually doubled my battery life.
Not to mention that the Messenger app completely ignores the quiet time settings in Android. Enjoy getting woken up by BINGS in the middle of the night because someone sent a message.
Hah - and being too quick on the Submit button, I forgot the more important point I was getting at... (Say, I should apply to be an editor)
Once you validate the root domain with StartSSL / StartAPI, you can create certificates for any subdomain attached to that domain - so you don't have to have port 80 to the world - or even a web server installed on anything but the root domain - and most people already have a setup like www.mydomain.com / mydomain.com going to the same web server.
You need to prove to Let's encrypt that you own the domain. For that you have to add a special file to a special place inside the http accessible part of the website.
So, I'd also have to open up the standard HTTP port to outside traffic just so they can check I 'own the domain'? that, and the idea of running a 'certificate management agent' on my web server....
I've been using StartSSL's free certs for that exact reason. They've got free 1 year certs vs LE's 30 days - and recently they've done a StartAPI to get these automagically.
Right now though, they still use HTTP validation - like LE - but hoping they'll have other options.
I subscribe to HBO. I own a TiVo. But HBO forces TiVo to prevent copying of HBO content off the TiVo and onto, say, a mobile device (note that this is not a problem with most TiVo content). Thus, if I want to watch an HBO show on the subway, I have no choice but to download it illegally.
And that's the real problem that the media monopolies refuse to acknowledge. I will gladly pay for content. Seriously, I want to give you my money. But, in return, I want to download it to my computer's hard drive with no DRM. Otherwise, fuck you. I'll get it from unlegal sources.
Here in Australia, the only way you can watch it is to subscribe to FoxTel (one of the few choices for PayTV). It doesn't put things like Game of Thrones on their basic packages - so it can cost you up to $80/mo to see a season of GoT.
So, we download it from a service that is another letter on top of that time syncing protocol, and all is well.
Then delete it and buy the HD version from Google Play when it becomes available.
I wonder more if this doesn't indicate that a lot of people deploying these are relatively new to computing.
I don't know anyone who runs anything serious on Ubuntu - however those who have only just started playing with computing seems to gravitate towards Ubuntu.
Windows 95% Win 10 64 Bit 33% and Trending upward. OSX 4% No change. Linux 1% No change. Ubuntu 0.4% Mint 0.2%
You know what, I'm running Win7 at the moment - and I'd ditch it in a second for Fedora 23 + KDE. Problem is, the fglrx driver doesn't work on Fedora 23 without downgrading packages to F22 release versions. I'd run RHEL7.2 - which fglrx works on, but then no KDE 5 / plasma.
So right now, I'm stuck on Windows 7 and trying to keep MS out of my stuff with their BS 'telemetry' data.
I would love this to change - but right now, I'm stuck with the one problem - graphics drivers.
Then list them. Otherwise we don't know about them. As soon as I have looked into the alternatives I have realized that everyone of them have some shortcoming.
This. I've been looking for any boards similar that have RS422 / RS485 and a decent power in plug. Powering over USB is just stupid for so many reasons - however we're looking at designing our own UART -> RS422/485 port as well as trying to get a nice 5v-30v input power pack.
The limitations for more widespread use of the pi is just frustrating.
Oh, and put a god damn 4Gb storage chip on the thing!
The best option is to use Linux with Steam, gog.com, Wine, Genymotion and various console emulators. With that setup, there would be very little that you couldn't play.
Except the performance you get on Linux with steam games is just horrible. Yes, I don't have the worlds best hardware - but Cities: Skylines runs at ~30fps in Windows 7, about 12fps in Linux. Team Fortress 2 hovers around 120fps on Windows, about 45 on Linux.
Sorry - but graphics drivers have a LONG way to go before they're useful in Linux. Don't even get me started on the complete lack of power savings etc....
There are many words to describe our current government - however moral, just, fair or competent would not be in the list.
To say the current mob (which have an approval rating in some kind of glide approximating a two door kelvinator) has any plans at all for leading a country is almost as big a joke as the party itself.
An interesting point . . . when a jet needs to make an emergency landing with full tanks, it will ditch the fuel before attempting a landing, because of the fire danger.
No, no they don't. The dump fuel because the maximum landing weight on commercial aircraft is much lower than the maximum takeoff weight. Fuel is too damn expensive to dump just because you don't want to explode. They'll dump fuel until they are under the max landing weight, then land.
You can land at heavier than the max landing weight - but you'd better get it right or you'll never fly again - even if the landing is a good one.
It's crap. It combines the worst of CentOS / Red Hat Linux with the pitfalls of academically managed IT.
Fedora is much better, where bugs do, gasp, get fixed in a timely manner. If you can manage the shortish release cycle.
You know, I see this a lot opinion from youngsters who have never administered mission critical systems. For your basic web server & SQL database, Fedora is fine - but how many copies of Fedora would ever get installed on the ISS?

I just felt a strange disturbance in The Force, as if a million divorce lawyers suddenly yelled out "CHA-CHING!" and then... yelled out "CHA-CHING!" again!
No no no - you've got it all wrong.... They're just backing up their database to 'the cloud'.
I remember in around 2000 the cable TV network we 'subscribed' to crashed.... about a dozen channels were showing the Amiga boot screen and were stuck until someone came along and fixed them. Was quite funny at the time.
The other option is to effectively reduce wages by not increasing them for CPI etc and have no customers to purchase any of your products....
Meanwhile, tax avoidance is rife in the corporate world - which leads to much less tax revenue for Governments, which leads to a degradation of society and loss of services that benefit society.
So, you have the question of everyone losing out, or start with more at the bottom to allow people to actually spend money on goods and services - which actually works. Trickle down economics has shown exactly how it works - or more like doesn't work.
I love seeing this crap in American articles. "Oh Noes! If we pay people more, it will cost businesses more!"
Lets look at this for a second.... Who are a businesses customers? Hint: It's the people who get paid a wage. These people get more money, more businesses get more customers. More customers mean more sales. More sales means more profits.
A thousand times this..... XFCE is great - but screen tearing and vsync problems make me rage. Now, I'm back to Windows 7 - although I did enjoy KDE - simply because it was the closest to XFCE and doesn't have tearing / vsync issues.
Now if only we could get decent power management on Radeon cards and three screens.....:)

I've also just finished a proof of concept implementation of their API at https://github.com/CRCinAU/sta...
Hoping to get some review on it and hopefully some submissions to add to the functionality.

What's the issue with KDE on RHEL 7.2? It looks like a thing.
That's KDE4. KDE5 is quite a bit different - like the Gnome 2 -> 3 - but without the retardation...
... because I only ever want to watch my video cameras while I'm in front of them.
The whole idea of this is to get out of NAT systems - so the real solution is just use IPv6 - but we all know how long thats going to take.

such as disabling the login page, using non-standard garbled logins, de-coupling login and username and using a non-standard table prefix.
All this is SOP on any non-development WP installation and mitigates 99.999% of the standard attacks on WordPress

No vision, no plan, and no real hopes.

So trivial that the suggested configuration change is not mentioned anywhere.
Just like a useful description of the problem.... Obscure news is obscure.
