Busy servers generate more heat. Inefficient code makes servers busier. There’s a real physical outcome for bad performance code at scale. But you don’t really want lots of idle or underused servers, aside from burst capacity management. So

Semi-related, there are some very cool converted datacentres in the UK. The Bunker operates an underground datacentre out of a former military installation. Radar base if memory serves me. That’s definitely hardened from airplane attacks an

London has lots of datacentres in Slough (near Heathrow) and Docklands (London City Airport, but also many LHR planes transit over). AWS/Azure/GCP/etc Colo in Equinix/Telehouse datacentres there, and those Docklands loca

Thanks for the clarification. It’s a bit of a shame as going via ISE would have let the group move onto other endeavours. Maybe people will just refer to the draft name and that’s that.

There used to be - probably still are - cameras that would digitally sign all their images. Used in crime scenes? Maybe we will end up seeing wider adoption of this, despite the privacy implications. Hackers attention then will focus (once

There are some - albeit few - cars that tick most of this checklist. MZS5 EV[1] checks most except the physical buttons, which is a half tick. There’s some physical buttons for some important things, but could do better. The previous model

As a workaround, can Tailscale internally add multiple menu items and keep adding until one reports as visible?

Agreed. I suppose they could lookup based on your IP to pre-select a country (which you can still override if you need to aka VPNs and ordering from a different country), and based on that then ask for a postcode.

I agree. 20-something years ago, when I paid for my internet connection, I also got an email address (or 5…) and some personal web space (5MB maybe?) and access to their NTP servers as part of that. No ads. Of course if I left the ISP I wou

I don’t think it’s a silly question. Before mobile phones, there were public phone booths. Along motorways there were often call boxes. There’s little to none of that anymore. Also before mobile phones, if you had an accident in a remote ar

The problem with talking to a telco, is you have to talk with not just one but any your customer may use. And if at the customer location there’s multiple routers in between the cameras and that telco router, it’s a shitshow trying to confi
