I suppose SSH is easier to use on machines you don't own, but the best practice would be to set up a VPN tunnel. 6 - 1/2 dozen.

Wait, in GamerGate it was the activist journalists who were writing skewed articles that were the bad actors, wasn't it?

I don't have the knowledge to support or contest anything except your last sentence. yum's UI is the only thing I like more than apt-get. But yum doesn't have the concept of depends vs. recommends, so installing nginx, for ex

I have several issues with your post. 1) Public places /used/ to be private! In practice, anyway, because CCTV wasn't ubiquitous, and constant recording by every passerby wasn't the norm. It's a public space, but 24

So you're saying a company should have full time workers who ONLY monitor a specific system, separate from its day-to-day maintenance?

Look. Seriously. Like, totally. Not everyone interested in Tor is educated enough to reinstall an OS. Or they need Windows for something else they do. Or 50 other things. Or maybe we're concerned about VPN leakage, or any other thing t

I guarantee you don't need the "middle" pack for a two-dev shop. Either use their hosted solution, host your own CE, or spend $390 a year to get the EE code with minimal support.

Reverse racism is used (in my experience) to define racist behaviors taken as a response to "original" racism. Examples include quota systems at universities, or otherwise discriminating against whites/majorities in the name

Gettin' real tired of people parroting this. Anyone who has used Github knows there is plenty of data (issues, labels, wikis) that aren't forked when you clone a GH repo.

Their ANTISPAM policy is draconian, but I like their interface. I like that root passwords are in the web interface instead of going through email. Finally, their presence in more datacenters is useful for someone in the middle of the count

That's what Rackspace does. I haven't used them in a while, but it looks like it's ALL they do now. (moved to DO, since it was half the cost and I /do/ have enough sysadmin chops to keep two linux servers patched).

While others are asking "Why is CompanyA buying a /48 a week?", my question is "Why isn't ISP-A asking CompanyA why they need a /48 a week?" IPv6 operates in several of these hierarchical subnets. A /

How about working for a company with sensitive defense or financial information, for which access from China/Russia/Ukraine is completely unnecessary? GeoIP blocking is not one's only defense, of course, but it's one of

What a comment! You made a binary discussion from a nuanced one. The question is whether an attractive UI (which, surprise, matters to many people) is worth focusing developer effort. Several comments in this thread advocate that non-native

For the record, IP source routing has its use cases. It's done via firewall or high-end router policy, and it's not a federated protocol. but it's handy.

If you are insinuating that the radical Christian right is waiting for a moment to commit the same actions as ISIS, then I believe your are completely incorrect. They're crazy, and they expect more violence and chaos to break out, but

Licensing is huge for not-a-mama-papa company. Support is also a bear. I can't think of a time Cisco has significantly improved an acquisition in the near term.

It's not just perceived control - it's the reenforcement. We all speed, but we always speed just a bit over the limit. Raise the limit, people raise their speed. 10 year olds goaded on by friends shouldn't be looking at the k

Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity. When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3"

You'll get downvoted when you make seemingly opinionated statements with no context.
