bauruine··on Red Hat Technical Writing Style Guide
I didn't mix it up but most of the time I stumble upon redhat.com it's KCS (access.redhat.com) articles. Yes it's not "documentation" but if it's worth to create an article because that many people have the same issue I'd say you could add it to your documentation as known issues.

Much of it is behind a paywall though. I manage more than a hundred licenced RHEL machines, was an RHCSA and RHCE with a company mail but I'd have to ask someone in my org to give me access. I just blocked access.redhat.com on kagi. F you.

It may isn't useful for you but a huge majority has a phone they can use for this task.
bauruine··on Google Pixels are no longer the AOSP reference device
I only had Nexus and Pixel phones since they existed. I've never cared what hardware they had the only thing I cared is what they have killed now.

This is the bigger disappointment than the 24 days (and counting) that they need to repair my Pixel 7 right now. I'm really glad I didn't buy a new Pixel 9 already.

bauruine··on It's five grand a day to miss our S3 exit
I've talked about 2 racks in different datacenters for 10k not 2k total. As you seem to like LLM here's the answer for a 50k colo

For $50,000/month in the USA, you could likely secure:

    Multiple full cabinets (approximately 10-12 cabinets)
    Higher power allocation (50-60kW total)
    Extensive bandwidth packages with multiple high-capacity connections
This seems both on the space of 10 full racks and 50kw power extensive.

I'm open to more details from you on why 50k is reasonable.

bauruine··on Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft
I think it's not bad to remember people from time to time that "just following orders" oder "Just doing my job" isn't an universal excuse and that we hanged people rightfully for "just" doing that. If that's your only excuse for what you're doing you may should at least deeply think again if what you're doing is excusable.

They only want to protect MS in this case, I guess to increase their chance to resolve it positively.

But I just recently thought about this. If you develop exploits for say NSO und a journalist gets tortured to death. Should you be put on trial? I'm not sure why not tbh.

>2. Facility OPEX: $50,000/month (Power, connective, monitoring etc..)

Are you sure? It looks like they only have 1 rack (+1 in another facility for redundancy) and seem to have 40Gbit/s connectivity.

A full rack is in the range of 1k, connectivity around 600$ per 10Gbit/s. I have no idea how much power they consume but I doubt it's 40k$+ per month for a storage workload. I would guess they are in the 10k$ range. Those are only list prices I've seen in the wild so take it with a grain of salt but 50k seem VERY high.

bauruine··on How I pwned a major New Zealand service provider
>I did some research and found that the app did infact have a responsible disclosure policy which at that point, I was happy to continue forth.

Looks like he did some research before.

On the other hand

>On day 2 I awoke and began by finding some form of contact details, information was somewhat sparse but I managed to find a phone number.

Doesn't a responsible disclosure policy contain contact infos on where to report usually?

bauruine··on Recommendation for non-DOS/Unix open source OS outside x86/X64
Thanks I haven't seen that. I take it all back. Maybe they could add a note on their download page.

bauruine··on Recommendation for non-DOS/Unix open source OS outside x86/X64
>Supported platforms: x86, 32-bit and 64-bit

Because it's not relate to the question.

Edit: Sorry they support other platforms. See next comment.

Is there a list of countries that may do border controls of your devices and what rights you have and don't have in each? Basically a guide like this for more than the US.
bauruine··on Oxidizing Ubuntu: adopting Rust utilities by default
Yes there exists now more proprietary software but you wanted to create proprietary software with it anyway so this kind of is what parent was talking about that some people don't want.

Partly related. Would you have paid if the project had offered a paid non GPL licence?

bauruine··on Infosec 101 for Activists
IIRC they used NetFlow data to find the only Tor user. So as long as your VPN doesn't use a different exit than entry IP it's as easy to find you as the Tor user.
bauruine··on Why is Cloudflare Pages' bandwidth unlimited?
They still pay for transit (Tier 1 providers) but they just refuse to pay for peering to eyeball ISPs. They just don't because they know if they are big enough the eyeball ISP is basically forced to offer them zero settlement (free) peering. If the ISP doesn't he has to pay for transit too and if there is some congestion in the path from the content provider to the ISP his customers are going to complain to the ISP that youtube is buffering and not to google. The content providers have a bigger lever so they don't pay.
bauruine··on Why is Cloudflare Pages' bandwidth unlimited?
If you send 10Gbit/s to an ISP you have to pay for transit to reach it. But if you send 100Gbit/s+ the ISP suddenly is willing to not only peer for free with you but may even host the servers for you in their data center for free. [0][1][2] So yes being bigger can absolutely save you costs.

AWS is a perfect comparison because they are also crazy expensive for egress. You get 10 Gbit/s for around 600$ in every NA and European datacenter.

bauruine··on Ask HN: Google suddenly locates me in a wrong country, what to do?
Sorry I should have read it completely and not just skim through it. I would still complain with the ISP.
bauruine··on Ask HN: Google suddenly locates me in a wrong country, what to do?
Call your ISP it looks like some of their IPs have a wrong geolocation. Maybe they recently aquired new IPv4 addresses that where previously located in eastern Europe.

Even if they did it's very unlikely they would peer in your town.

Geographic proximity isn't the main factor for peering and even if they did your session may still get terminated at a border network gateway in a big city and your traffic has to travel the same way.
