I've talked to a mail admin from one of the companies involved in "Email made in Germany" once about it, and his reply was basically that of course it was marketing, and of course the techs had the idea to enable TLS in the d

BioNTech developed the vaccine now mass-produced by Pfizer. For that, they received $445m from the German government. So, as a tax-paying German citizen I can say, not only will I do that, but even better, I already did. It also feels deepl

They are not immutable in the 'chflags uchg,schg ' sense. Updating these files is not in any way shape or form a hassle anymore if you do not update them. etcupdate has that solved. Even mergemaster has specific options to handle

FreeBSD has had fully integrated, working ZFS for over 10 years. You were so excited to deploy the BSD killer app, you forgot to do so for ten years. I can only tell you, whatever scary differences you expect between Linux and FreeBSD are p

Simulated DC failure is more often then not just traffic flow engineering. It is more about testing the DC that takes over the traffic than it is about testing service restart in the inactive DC. There is little to test about the introducti

This article lost me after just the first couple of paragraphs. If Leibniz is, as quoted in the text, `recognized for first formally proposing` the binary system - then what relevance does it have that someone had the idea earlier (and thou

Another option would be to make it an easily abortable multi-step process with a long delay timer, ie. you disable 2FA and an abortable 3-4 day timer starts ticking with frequent reminder mails inbetween. Once the timer is done, you can con

As someone that has both Kafka and Redis in use without issue, for years, (and is about to replace a lot of misused Redis instances with Kafka) I really fail to follow your points. So, a Zookeeper cluster can't survive accidentally in

Regarding point 3, unless your system is under massive memory pressure, no caught-up Kafka consumer should be serviced from disk. Old offsets that are flushed out of memory because you do not have it obviously are served from disk, with ess

I don't think a careful, sane user who's concerned about their data would be on btrfs in the first place.

Then now is his moment to learn about open source licensing. Doesn't mean the infraction does not count or we should let it slide. As any license, even MIT with its few requirements must be enforced to be worth its bytes.

Looks like neither Backblaze nor Carbonite support E2E encrypted backups where I do not have to send the password to the cloud, or the private key is in fact generated inside the cloud. Which means I have to really scramble to find somethin

This of course assumes you are running around an actual multiuser system without 1777 /tmp and 077 umask like it is 1989.

...and nothing happened because it does not retroactively dedup existing data? Over time it would become horrendously slow, I agree, since you have too little RAM by a factor of at least 8.

Well, not in a test environment, but for production updates of some NoSQL stuff, sure. Snapshot the datasets, clone them over into a new rw-dataset, run the upgrade on the clone. Upgrade went wrong and corrupted your files? Destroy the clon

Well, FreeBSD's mac_portacl(4) has been around since 5.1-R (June 2003) and allows per-user ACLs on privileged ports. Although the permission is for all IP addresses, not a specific one. But one could create a virtual network device per

I very, very rarely use named return values. My usual go-to problem is when one of the return values is an `error` that I want to set inside `recover()`.

If I remember my Apache config right, the two examples are switched. The 2.4 config should be 'Require all denied' and the 'Order deny,allow' the old 2.2 syntax.

I can't recall where I read it, but it said that the Switch likely uses the FreeBSD networking stack running in userland. To me, this makes some sense, since if I remember correctly the 4G/5G/some-future-wireless-thing allian

Please also note that while FreeBSD may have the bigger individual sponsors, the FreeBSD Foundation still relies on many small contributions as the tax-free non-profit status of the Foundation relies more on the number of contributors than

While 4.0-REL was released in March 2000, and the OpenVZ history section starts with the concept phase in November 1999, the commit that upstreamed jails into FreeBSD was made in April 1999 with comment `Run for almost a year by: ...` http

Once any filesystem writes data that was corrupted in memory, the data is hard to recover. And any filesystem will serve this corrupted data if asked, since it is all that it has. This is not a ZFS specific failure mode. Without ECC, ZFS lo

I'm just going to shamelessly quote the FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report, Q4/2016 that came out a few days ago. LLD developers made significant progress over the last quarter. With changes committed to both LLD and FreeBSD
