I haven't had it fail once, and I've created many addresses. I do have a custom domain hooked up to my iCloud account, if that is making any difference, I don't know.

tcp/443 is likely an open port on the target service (Dynamodb based on the domain name). TLS is not involved. ICMP ECHO would be a bad choice as it is deprioritized by routers[0]. [0] https://archive.nanog.org/sites&#x

Doesn't look like this is a ping[0]! Which is good. Rather it is a socket stream connecting over tcp/443. Ping (ICMP) would be a poor metric. [0] https://github.com/mda590/cloudping.co/blob/8918ee8d7

I see where you're going with your question, but like Windows' Services/scheduled tasks, most of those 'users' don't have a $HOME folder. Not to say they couldn't have one!

by nullindividual 2y ago
Why not both, like Windows? $HOME/.tmp for user operations and /tmp for system operations? EDIT: I see from other posters it can be done. Why the heck isn't this the default?!

Windows shipped on DVDs. I'm not sure why you made your comment. Of course a system must support it, and plenty of ~20 year old systems did.

You're not limited to 650MB provided you use UDF rather than ISO 9660. UDF supports up to 16 EiB. It's still a "real" ISO, but obviously you'd need to stay within DVD size limits to use physical media. Windows has b

It's quite a different world with Windows Autopilot pre-provisioning from the OEM. These images are customized to your specs, there's no Candy Crush shipping on pre-provisioned devices.

Back to the manufacture it goes! Not a big deal in a medium to large business. I'm unsure how a small business would deal with it, but the smaller you go, the less likely you'd have a standardized image.

I wouldn’t use PXE at all! But I’ve been out of the computer imaging business for a long time, now. The folks that do that where I work simply activate Windows with Intune on first boot from the manufacturer, similar to how Macs are activat

I agree, the author appears to conflate file and format. From a complete reading of this post and the author’s previous post on this topic, I read it as discontinuation of distribution of the ISO file, but in both posts they use the wording

The author could use a bit of humility. ISO isn’t useful in the author’s use-case. That’s fine, it is their project to do as they will. ISOs may still have uses elsewhere, such as PXE boot or just a near universally mountable read only cont
