This has nothing to do with transport. Iranian drone strikes disabled a Qatari helium _production_ facility.

Interesting bit from that article wrt to transport infrastructure: "most distributors simply stick to the industry standard transport of Grade 5. That is why for and [sic] end user of helium, a lower grade can cost more than the higher

I've got the Android app and love it, as well as Knots 3D. Most knot enthusiasts will already know about it, but in the analog world The Ashley Book of Knots is fantastic. Beautifully illustrated; the author, Clifford Ashley, was a mar

I use them both. I like Knots 3D better, but it's missing some knots that I use. No EStar stopper or Matthew Walker in Knots 3D, for example.

I can't tell much about your infrastructure, but memcached would probably increase that by several orders of magnitude. The NGINX module is pretty simple: https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_memcached

112 and 911 (US) work on almost every mobile phone anywhere in the world. It's part of the GSM/UMTS standard. 999 is supported with either no SIM card or a UK SIM card. See §7.1 here: https://www.ietf.org/lib/

It's not good as a first line of defense for failover, but with some client software and/or failure mechanisms there aren't any better approachs I'm aware of. Some of the software I administer doesn't understand mul

I have mine set low on some records because I want to be able to change the IP associated with specific RTMP endpoints if a provider goes down. The client software doesn't use multiple A records even if I provide them, so I can't

Maybe, but I don't think TTL matters for speed of initial propagation. I do set it low when I first configure a website so I don't have to wait hours to correct a mistake I might not have noticed.

Agreed; I have no idea how you'd implement that across multiple ASNs, which is definitely a requirement for multi-cloud or geo-redundant architectures. Seems like you'd be trying to work against the basic design principles of Inte

I've also had great experiences with Tumbleweed for the most part, but be careful using ZFS, as it frequently breaks with updates. Probably not something most people use, but it does force me to run Leap on my home server.

You're right, a temperature rise without a corresponding increase in water vapor content does reduce RH (relative humidity). It does not, however, remove any water from the air in terms of mass (absolute humidity). So if water vapor go

I don't think so, that's the connotation I usually see. I've always found that dichotomy rather odd though; I work in systems design/administration and I think a lot of common development mistakes could be avoided if dev
