For those wondering how bad the issue is, check out this[1] screenshot of a diff between the TLS/non-TLS html from www.example.com. Here's "corrupted" UTF-8 characters expressed as bits. In this example you can see clear

I think the path to get us there (reshoring chips) would be extremely painful, but it certainly would be a better position for the United States to restore our ability to produce these critical components. Also, just in time for this resear

Check out my install script linked earlier. If you already have the GPS unit attached and tested, you could probably be up and running again in a few minutes (make sure to change the GPIO pin in the script to your PPS pin).

I just built one of these. It's fun to have a little computer that can synchronize highly accurate time without an internet connection by listening to things in outer space! I built an auto-install script that anyone here is welcome to

That’s funny you say that. One of my pet projects was using google sheets to control SSH access with non-techies. It worked surprisingly well. https://github.com/stephen-mw/gdoc_ssh_manager/blob/test/REA.

I never published it, but I actually wrote a service that uses google sheets to manage SSH access on your servers. Users simply submit a google form with their SSH key, and it's automatically pulled by a daemon on each host. It comes c

Very nice! I see this as the next evolution to the phusion's custom init system[0], which was created to solve largely the same problems. I should be able to take Yelp's dumb-init and add it easily to any linux container I want --

Runit is the default system daemon for Phusion's baseimage-docker Ubuntu image[0]. I've used it in a basic manner and have been very happy with it. For containers it hits a real sweet spot: lightweight and easy to use within a lim

Some quick tips for securing SSH: 1. Disable password authentication altogether 2. Create and use keypairs 3. Add an "AllowUsers foo" line to /etc/ssh/sshd_config so that only your user is allowed to SSH 4. Install

I very much doubt Apple sells anything at a loss. It's really not their style. Their margins are the envy of the entire industry, and Apple takes home 90% of cell phone profits[0] The fact that they can create a phone/device with

Some of us prefer this screen size. I'm actually holding off until the 6s to see if they launch a model with a small screen.

I found iterm2 to be my most-missed piece of software when switching to linux desktop. Terminator just doesn't compare with ease-of-use, look, and feel. Gnome terminal is nice but lacks some of the rich features.

Why not just use AWS? Seems like you went from bad to slightly better. There's no reason to fear virtualization, and the automation is definitely one of the best aspects of running in a major cloud.

I think the H1B program is great when it works, and I've seen it function because I've worked with some amazing and talented workers from countries such as India, Spain, France, etc. I really felt like we nabbed the best people fr

Unfortunately that's simply not the same. Python libraries many times still require header files to be present, which means on a host you want to install PyOpenSSL you must also install libssl-dev, which means you also much install pyt

I checked this out when it was part of Stripe. I found it worked very well for my limited use-cases. Personally I just prefer python and boto for most of my AWS tools, but times where I've switched to go is to take advantage of static

It's funny you mention this. Myself (and a quite few other Bay Area people) were at the filming for this film at the De Anza theater. Everyone was so bored and desperate to be on camera that they were cheering at the top of their lungs

The site looks good. I feel that the devops world is hungry for a _full_ replacement of graphite/zabbix/reimann, etc, but the pricing hasn't been appealing enough for the best tools. Per-host pricing schemes punish large inst

AWS is the best in the game and you pay a little extra for it. If you ask me I think it's worth it. I wouldn't waste a single cycles migrating to another cloud providing to save a little money. In the end it simply won't be w

I like LXD a lot, but it's simply too new to rally behind it fully. You have to backport it to Ubuntu 14.04 if you even want to run it on an LTS operating system. That being said, I think Canonical has good vision and will execute. LXD
