X86BSD

It’s worth also mentioning that as far as I am aware the OpenBSD folks also almost universally eat their own dog food. Most of not all the developers run -current. The bleeding edge. So they can find and fix any issues. I’m not sure how many of the other developers for FreeBSD or NetBSD do that.

I could be wrong but I was under the impression certain sec folks objected to a lot of his patches because they just are not sold on if ASLR really adds any benefit. Or any benefit vs the complexity it adds. Correct me if I’m wrong. I know Theo has bought into it. I just recall in FreeBSD it wasn’t accepted if it really fixes anything.

No I said what I was trying to say. Many countries not in NATO rely on the US for their security and defense. NATO has nothing to do with my statement.

Sweden has a national debt of 42% of its GDP. You’re free to call that healthy if you wish but that’s redlining to most of us.

And again they also have no defense costs except toys to play with because the US pays for their defense.

So yeah.

That’s not quite accurate. They also have the US paying largely for their defense needs. That saves them a ton of money.

Socialism ends this way every. Single. Time. “If only socialism was implemented correctly for a change!” The snowflakes chant. Ignoring history. Implementing more and more socialist programs at home. Sigh.

The war on drugs is an EPIC faulted by any measure. It’s almost criminal in itself. Addiction is a health issue NOT a brutal police force issue.

End the war on drugs. Stop tearing families apart for non violent offenders and victimless crimes.

Dissolve the DEA. Return the money to the tax payers. Lower taxes.

Stop the savagery. Portugal and now Norway. Hopefully the sane nations continue to grow.

Even if that’s accurate how does that negate what I said about all of the Russian BS is just that BS. No proven election fraud, no voter fraud, nothing provable to russians.

How much of that do you believe is simply taking the other side by democracy’s because they hate republicans? Versus if the dems has the WH and both houses they would appoint another telecom shill and have done exactly the same thing?

That’s the party that tried to bring us the Clipper chip my friend. Think about that.

I’ve seen no proof of Russian meddling that had any provable effect on the election. Only theoretical.

Second do you have ANY idea how many elections the US has “meddled” in? Let alone how many leaders we have literally overthrown?? Get some perspective. If you don’t like other nations pissing in our oatmeal I seriously suggest we stop pissing, shitting, and vomiting in theirs. Golden rule and all. Let the booing begin.

Wireless. Interesting observation. I have often considered trying to startup a wireless isp or wireless mesh network to provide fast net for cheap. But the wireless tech has never scaled well and the speeds have never kept pace with wired.

Even the latest MM wave hardware rolling out would be ok for now but tomorrow? Who knows how much of an upgrade path you will have in terms of speed and capacity.

Wireless doesn’t need to be gigabit to the home. 200mb/s would do a few streams of 4K and then handle most of everything else you need. Throw in caching and I don’t think you would need to offer gigabit speeds. If you did you couldn’t support many folks per station.

I wish wireless was a silver bullet but it’s shaky at best imo.

It’s clearly the ONLY option for breaking the back of the incumbents. Especially if you only rely on private building access and bypass street lights and utility poles.

Thoughts?

After pondering on this quandary I find myself not knowing which is more offensive, the fact that corporate money pours into politics and corrupts everything into a pile of shit, or the fact that revolving doors are legal. Pait was a Verizon executive. So those being regulated are now writing the regulations.

I really can’t tell which horrendous act is worse.

Agreed. The regulations we both mentioned have killed any competition in providing, let’s just call internet connection providers what they are, dumb pipes. That’s what they all boil down to. Just dumb pipes to give you access to a network.

And in that context the more providers of dumb pipes we have the better. It’s just a race to the bottom then. Who offers the lowest latency, highest speed and capacity pipe for the cheapest price.

Agreed. It’s mostly one land based provider and maybe a satellite option.

You know I would almost be willing to consider scrapping NN if they also had the power to overturn and throw out ALL incumbent laws preventing competition from accessing right of ways, street and utility poles and making it so easy to bury cable you could do it in your sleep at state/city/local levels.

Security just cleared the room before the vote could happen. I didn’t see that coming. Bomb threat?

I wonder if wait times and insurance pain points are the same for pediatricians vs normal general practice doctors?

Which is frankly horrifying considering the reference implementation was released in FreeBSD 7. That really ought to scare people from purchasing any of those routers/firewalls that don’t support it.

What you just described honestly sounds a lot like direct pay here in the states. If you google “direct pay doctors” in your city you will find some.

Doctors offering direct pay are cash only. They charge a small monthly fee. Here in Missouri it’s about $100/month. For that $100/month you get seen the same day!!! I haven’t been able to get seen by a doctor the same day since I was like 5 and that was 1980. Usually it’s a week or so before an appointment can be made. You also get an hour with the doctor. No rushing you in and out to increase turnover. Most things up to minor urgent care are included as well including stitches and lacerations. You only pay for materials used. Which is usually very cheap. A couple bucks for gauze. A couple for stitches. Medication and labs massively reduced from insurance rates. Flu shots are free. Etc

Direct pay providers are becoming more common as more and more doctors say “screw insurance and federal government red tape and regulations”. They are just absolutely done with the mess and pain of insurance and government regulations. Most even provide house calls! House calls! I haven’t seen a doctor do house calls since little house on the prairie!

Seriously if you are in the states look into it! The wife and I are more than likely moving to direct pay with a high dedeuctible catastrophic insurance plan this year and we will be saving over $500/month on our employee provided Cadillac insurance plan.

The packet passes through so many gateways and networks between Hulu and the end client good luck proving anything.

This is exactly what jobs said too. On many occasions. And in different ways. Skate to where the puck will be... people don’t know what they want until you show them... etc.

Google fiber is a perfect example. Google for gods sakes couldn’t make an entry. They tried! Google! And barely got into a handful of cities and a very small portion of those cities to boot. If google can’t become a competitor no one else stands a chance in hell. That’s just the reality. Maybe wireless tech will change that but I’m not holding my breath. Even with MM wave stuff.

Yeah I agree with this. Spotify is a good experience. Save one. Their security is shit. After having my account hacked for the unpteenth time I finally threw in the towel since they clearly are not interested in securing their damn service and jumped to Apple Music. The UI is not as good as Spotify but I don’t worry about my account being hacked every week and their catalog is bigger at Apple Music. My wife found some obscure ass Pakistani tune she loved since she was a kid in Delhi. That was hardcore. Spotify never had much desi stuff.

I hope Spotify fixes their security woes. Either way I have no reason to leave Apple Music now.

Yandex did. Russia’s version of google. If you YouTube search “yandex postgresql” you will find them giving a talk about the wins for them in switching.

This statement completely makes no sense to me. I was not “hyping” monero but merely noting it’s absence in a beginners guide to CC. Nor do I own bitcoin or care what that bubble does.

No mention of monero? To me that’s a glaring omission in a beginners guide.

Imagine that. How much more evidence will it take before Dr. Atkins is given the credit he is due for his work on low carb, low sugar diets and obesity/diabetes?

Seriously.

And you would be wrong.

This is the most blatant and clearly incorrect... FUD?..lie?... I have ever heard to date about jails.

Jails are secure. As are SmartOS zones. Whoever you heard that there are “many instances of breaking out of a jail” from is full of sh47. And you would be wise to never listen to them ever again. No really, EVER.

And no, breaking the ps4 was not a jail exploit. The attacker already had elevated privileges. So you would be sunk no matter what.

Bitcoin is not designed for privacy. Period. Monero is.

I think I’d rather store the data on a gbde encrypted disk and simply toss it when I’m done. Then I know the data can’t be read.
