I'm fond our our privacy policy and it has served us quite well. I've been an owner since late 2016--a mutual friend let me know Luke was interested in selling and I had been a customer for many years at that point. I liked the se

We do customer support over IRC, on Freenode and OFTC. Particularly with the availability of web clients on Freenode, casual IRC users can reach us with minimal hassle while long-time users idle and voice when they're highlighted or t

I visited Weirdstuff earlier this year looking for parts to mount a vertical PDU. I found spare 45U l-brackets and a u-bracket I'm pretty sure was designed for the problem I was solving--I'll miss digging through part bins and wa

We use Yubikey for our production systems and yes: every operator has two keys that have been configured and registered in our access database. We decided though not to make our backup keys hot. It's a manual operation to enable it.

Correct. It's the ability to share documents and conversation snippets provided by vendors, as well as curating and summarizing the significant amount of information available. I've never seen an exploit that involves microcode u

Here is where I asked to join: https://twitter.com/prgmrcom/status/949023633581592576 Following up to @scaleway on Twitter in the same manner would hopefully work out. I've sent you an email with a bit of ela

You can manage your VPS over SSH using our management console.[1] Since most of our users access their VPS using SSH, it's nice to use the same protocol for powering a machine off and on or accessing the serial console. By and large o

Prgmr.com has been participating on the Slack channel this article mentions. Being able to share notes gleaned from reaching out to vendors and sort through the information and mitigations for Spectre and Meltdown has been a huge help.

I'm sorry to read this. I've watched the single board computer space slowly lose ethernet; the connector is too large. I'd love a board with two built-in ethernet connectors so I could route traffic. With Soekris exiting t

I was told it was to avoid changing my DNS when I spun up a new server. With the load balancer being $50/month; that was the pitch that put me off Rackspace.

They'll make a modest proposal that they can replace the Kansas City Federal Bank. Missouri has too many federal reserve banks anyway.

From reading the text, it seems like those folk wishing they had been alive in 1776. (The year of the Declaration of Independence of the United States from Great Britain, which the Ethereum Classic document appears to be modeled after.) T

My comment is based on the single report substantiating the larger story in the article. I think you ask a reasonable question. Maybe the particular contractor had an axe to grind. Maybe the bookkeeping was a mess but for reasons of inco

One salient detail that's a bit difficult to pick out of the article: Hampton Creek gave cash to contractors with instructions to use that cash to purchase Just Mayo. However, they recorded (some of?) these cash payments as wages on t

Given that this exploit happens during capability negotiation (or whatever SSH calls that part of the protocol), it also cannot be mitigated via pledge[2], which is where OpenBSD has been focusing a lot of attention. This is an unusual stu

The closest thing I think of given your example is how the --help flag in git displays the manpage instead of an option summary. Is that the sort of thing you have in mind?

Your appeal to think about it operationally helped me understand. I have to answer questions like the ones you pose whenever something odd pops up in the logs. Thank you.

A question for both of you. I don't understand how, if you have it together enough to centralize your logging, you need to be told about interdependencies between your services. What am I missing? Do I underestimate how easy it is t

How could DNS become more decentralized? You already have your choice of TLDs, registrars, ISPs, and software. If that's not good enough you can host a public key under .onion.
