Maybe they didn't know there is a difference? I'm from Europe and I didn't. You register to be able to vote? Why isn't every citizen automatically allowed to vote?

Since you mention regulation, I think it is something to be proud of. GDPR, Germany saying hell-no to forced Facebook accounts, etc. As for innovation? US isn't even top 10 when it comes to Nobel prize per capita ( https://en

IPV6 commonly does that. Your next hop is installed as a link-local fe80-entry which is derived from the mac address. Not exactly what you're after, but removes the IP numbering need.

That's not the "cattle vs. pet" as I understand it. The servers are identical, i.e. cattle. This is just a case of sticky sessions. It's a common pattern to help latency and keep resource usage down.

This doesn't help you now, but why didn't you keep the old site and just 301'd to the new page for a year or so?

Build systems usually don't care what you added. Modification of source means rebuild.

No, you also need to be able to MITM. Snooping the traffic is not enough to do harm.

That Europe cost seems high, tbh. In the Nordics for example I'm pretty sure everything is paid for.

+1. When I had to use AWS for batch workloads, which at the time at least didn't have a TTL attribute on VMs, I made sure that the VM first scheduled a shutdown in like 30 min if the test was supposed to only run in 10 min.

BeyondCorp is the effort/program name, ÜP is one of the software that enables it to be implemented. ÜP is just a fancy Envoy/nginx reverse proxy.

Hostile APIs are a problem. If you require a dance for the correct outcome, people will fail. Make it easy to do the right thing.

I've never seen this advice, would you mind elaborating or citing a more elaborate source? Since pivot_root requires the old root to be a child of the new root, traversing back to the full system seems trivial. Actually, I don't s

You don't even need that. The BIOS can just install vulnerable SMM handlers and then you're screwed. I don't get why you say it doesn't affect you - bloated and crappy firmware affects everyone, regardless of OS.

Yes sure, but I question if these permissions would do anything to prevent that. It would reject an open() call on the file, but these are expected to be directories so that would never happen, and it doesn't stop an unlink()

What do the chmod do there? Removing files count as writes to the directory at least in Linux, so chmodding the dummy file wouldn't do much I'm thinking.

There is recurring costs as well, something like $400/mo in power usage bills, and another $400 in internet and space rental fees per month. The folks over at the datacenter have been very happy to have me so there might be some discou

Indeed, the 16 MiB virtual memory space is kind of limiting for anything remotely modern :-).

That is not really 100% true. You can certainly run z/OS if you want, and that incurs those costs you mentioned - but that is true if you want to run Windows as well for example. However, the biggest thing to remember is that you can a

Cool! Thanks for sharing! I have heard that some banks interconnect directly with IMS but I have no source for that.

Would you have liked the project more if the price was not disclosed?

by bluecmd 7y ago
Author here, I agree 100%. It is just a different way of building software, which is why I find these things so interesting. It challenges my worldview and thus I want to learn more about its upsides and downsides. CICS and IMS definitely m
