Those wasted 40 minutes are doing wonders for your body. Absolutely not a waste by all meaningful measurements.

> There is a very strong infinite feedback mechanism between respected publishers and respected universities forcing us to flock to such publishers no matter the costs which are exorbitantly high for most of us. But we simply do not have a choice.

In that case it is the role of the United States Government to step in and break this monopolistic-feedback loop. A simple way would be to deny any federal-backed student loans to schools who do not openly publish and continue to incestuously be involved with ACM.

Withholding money is one of the most powerful ways to change behaviors.

Shocking idea: Start by not using Netflix as a reference. They aren't even in the same industry. It looks logically sloppy.

Is this really an issue?

Arguing over whether or not someone can store contact information about people they personally know for the purpose of a private database?

If that really falls under GDPR, then GDPR is way more fucking asinine than I ever realized.

To be frank, if your monthly value comparison for something like this is Netflix, you aren't the target demo.

US Congress has the authority to block such acquisitions.

Check out “HackRF.

I trust iMessage a hell of a lot more than naked SMS.

Also emergency alerts in the US are now fairly well secured with a PKI (iirc). Doesn’t stop a dumb or rogue operator, but it does provide some authenticity regarding if the alert came from a legitimate authority or not.

Cisco SSH has supported public key auth for as far as I can recall.

No, they were destroyed. If the engines stalled mid-flight resulting in a crash, I would see your point, slightly.

It wasn’t the engines (Boeing doesn’t make engines). It was MCAS.

It’s similar to air traffic control. All pilots speak English. Of course they speak other langs, but for that official purpose: English.

I’ll permit regulatory capture, rather than accepting “pimp-hand” capture.

I’ll probably end up firewalling off a zone just for this type of traffic in the future.

5 years ago your comment was spot on. Now in the us it is common to see dual stack v4 v6 on residential and mobile connections.

And 10/8! And 172.16/12!!

Iirc it is only the amateur radio bands. ISM and other bands permit ciphering.

Incorrect. They are a federal investigative agency with arrest powers. They are NOT charged with standard policing type roles.

The US does not have a federal police force.

Bandwidth at any decent metro area colo these days is cheap af. Last I did the math I saved 15x the egress Data charges versus if I just put it directly in AWS.

I know you’re referring to websites but Plex is a pretty damn good offering these days. I recommend everyone check it out.

Tmux is that just remote.

I reattach to my home tmux instance and suddenly i have my 20 tabs back.

No idea. It is old as shit and equally annoying. There are many reasons why we (architects) minimize L2 domains - namely because we can achieve re-route / convergence quicker with other protocols, with STP being the long pole. Hell, containers are just L3-L3 forwarding in a lot of cases - no L2 domain, conceptually.

TLDR: Spanning-Tree is the previous war. E-VPN + Modern L3 segmentation is the new way.

Yes.

Fair question.

Warrants are mostly pertaining to searches as I understand it.

I don’t think there is instances of warrants in the US that has resulted in compelled speech?

To be clear gag orders and injunctions don’t count as compelled speech. That’s an order of absence of speech.

No!! To that I say fuck off and freedom is more important. We must not compromise on this.

It is illegal to compel speech in the United States. Forcing specific software implementations to cripple-ware the product is compelled speech. Full stop.

Bullshit.

He is clearly equating the market demand for current-day private backbones to society's prior demand for human slavery. That's a ludicrous comparison.

If you think these two things are anywhere nearly the same, you are a mega dumbshit.

> Atari's old HQ is just another office building. The source code to those games is mostly gone (thankfully, it's assembly and easier to disassemble). We need to save our culture and digital heritage, else we forget where we come from.

Very good point!!!

In my view the Internet Archive should be the Digital equivalent of the the role of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Shepherds of documentation, to give it a cool-ish sounding name.

Just to make sure I parse your words correctly, you are equating private backbones with human slavery?

Yeah that seems very reasonable and obviously not filled to the brim with a ridiculous level of hyperbole.

Wrong. You’re like an order of magnitude wrong - rofl there is no fucking way the stock Linux kernel will even do 40Mpps at 64 byte packets. It chokes way before that. This is partly why things like DPDK exist.

VPP is amazing - you made my work life much easier... for free :-). Great work. More people should dig into high-perf open source networking.

Thank you!!
