You'd think the ROC/PRC situation might make them cautious about wandering into the middle of a US/PRC pissing match though.

That's dangerous thinking. Any un-patched service can turn into a pivot point. If the same folks who managed more critical pieces of infrastructure log in there, it can almost certainly be used to pivot onto their other systems.

Not really. It's technically possible with Ksplice, but almost no distro actually supports it. Beyond the kernel, you have various libs and binaries that will be replaced during upgrades. All can usually/mostly be restarted withou

Does that mean part of your infrastructure saw no kernel patches in 4 years? OS uptime gave me pride in the 90s. Today it's usually a bad sign.

And before Tera, SGI bought Cray in 1995.

The consumer gear was trash. The server lines were an entirely different story. Also worth noting that by the mid 2000s, Compaq was just a branding on the consumer side. The hardware was all the same old HP consumer junk.

IBM never left HPC. They sold off their x86 lines, but all their big toys run POWER variants.

Arguably, HPE has more of a Compaq legacy than HP legacy. Much of their x86 server line has a Compaq lineage.

HP isn't one company. They are two completely separate companies that share part of their name.

The Berkeley location was also their corporate HQ. I think 90% of my meals were from GO (with the remaining 10% split between E&J BBQ and Brennan's) when I lived in Berkeley.

A mix of the two seems more likely -- ipv6-only to the device, with nat64/dns64 used to handle ipv4 traffic. T-Mobile has been ipv6-only for devices supporting 464xlat since 2014.

Yelling... repeatedly, both inband and out of band. You never responded last time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19865151 Manually entering homeserver URLs is a non-starter unless you're a technical user.

I'm not sure -- I haven't messed with a Pixelbook. On Chromebooks, the trust root lives in the bootloader's flash with no security beyond the write protect screw. A quick googling led to a reddit post that indicates it's

Awesome post, but a very minor nitpick: > Chromebooks use both, coreboot on x86, and u-boot for the rest. This isn't entirely true. Coreboot is used on a number of ARM Chromebooks, including rk3288 and rk3399 based devices. It seems

Please share a useful workflow for getting a non-technical user onto a non matrix.org homeserver. I've personally run 3 homeservers for communities formerly centered around Facebook, only one of which was technical. For the non-technic

Kinda-sorta? Matrix is an incredibly centralized service masquerading as an easily self-hosted distributed service. The moment you try to get a non-technical user connected to a homeserver other than matrix.org, all hell starts to break loo

Sure, but who tells the client what the correct hash is?

Yes, but for any given job at Netflix, you go in knowing other most gigs are going to pay at least 30% less for the same work. Amazon isn't paying their warehouse employees a premium rate to offset the risk of falling in the bottom 10%

Netflix also compensates the ever-loving fuck out of you up until that moment.

Remember, this isn't the churn rate we're talking about. It's involuntary separation. I'd imagine the annual churn rate is way above 10%. I don't doubt FedEx and UPS have high churn rates, but I also suspect they
