I personally enjoyed the challenge of setting up PTP at home. Why would a hacker scoff at nanosecond-level timekeeping —- isn’t the entire internet a “telco/enterprise” thing?

I’ve been using APU2 systems for several years. It can handle gigabit if you’re using Linux and your ISP doesn’t use PPPoE. On PPPoE it tops out around 500mbps for download and 800mbps for upload.

When you use encrypted backups on iOS, Google Authenticator maintains its state and there's no need to reset 2FA. I'm sure there are similar mechanisms for Android.

You must be independently wealthy to not worry about a $150k+ outlay for school. I obtained a CS degree, worked in tech for several years, and decided to attend law school to study IP like you’re intending. I attended one of best schools f

Do not go to law school unless it's a passion that you're willing to sacrifice financial and mental well-being for. It's only "worth it" if you're able to attend an elite (top 10) institution -- otherwise, i

Since everyone is joining in with anecdotes, I’ll share mine. During second grade I had strep at least four consecutive times. One of those times I developed an ear infection with pain so intense my parents took me to the emergency room.

Abuse of the workforce didn't start in 1940 and end in 1979. Some labor innovations you may enjoy: - Weekends (40 hour week) - Minimum wage - No child labor - Workers compensation - Not being massacred by your employer¹

From operations experience, the risks of data loss with btrfs far outweigh volume shrinking capabilities on either XFS or ZFS.

Yes, I successfully run it two older MacBooks for server use. I haven’t tried WiFi or sound but everything else, including trackpad and X, worked fine for me. There were other tweaks to make suitable for a server, but OpenBSD has otherwi

While it's true you can't expand a vdev, you can always add another vdev to a pool at any redundancy level you desire to expand capacity. For example, you could add a trio of drives as a raidz vdev to a pool with an existing mi

I think Amazon just stopped its collaboration with Coinstar, as it wasn't an option at the grocery store (HEB) machine I used last month.

This morbid fact is actually taught in law school. Something like 10% of attorneys abuse substances, multiple times over the national average. To demonstrate the scope of the problem: a phone number for an assistance hotline is placed in

Really? Alright I'll bite. They only promulgate the regulations that are enforced. And if you're being pedantic enough to insist it's the DoJ, then my point still stands under one led by Sessions.

While technically true, the enforcement is up to the Department of Labor. Do you honestly believe that Puzder (now Acosta) is really going to enforce these rules? It's the whole reason they were chosen for the position in the first p

Let me add that I loved Kiev during my visit. The taxi incident was the only encounter of corruption on my entire trip. It should be known that the US isn't immune to this graft either (e.g., my aunt passed her driving test in Chica

> Pulled over? No problem, just put a 50 in the passport and hand it over non-challantely. I can personally vouch that this is true. I traveled to Kiev in 2010 to present at the local PyCon. On the way back home to the airport my taxi

I was a major user of hg from 2007-2012, before I succumbed to network effects. The UX of hg was more intuitive for users coming from SVN and CVS.

Just don't think too much about the super volcano seething under the ground in neighboring Wyoming. More realistically, Colorado gets severe thunderstorms and tornadoes all the time -- like the one that killed two in Limon in 1990.
