pyvpx··on Bank’s severance deal requires IT workers to be on call for two years
they're being laid off, some with only 30 days notice. hard position to not take whatever the unspecific severance package amount is. and unless it is at least two years full salary, it's absurd.
pyvpx··on The $24B Data Business That Telcos Don't Want to Talk About
aren't the companies employing wireless trackers in store? even small shops can get some useful tracking data from "custom" OpenWRT based firmwares on consumer-level wifi/router devices.
pyvpx··on Facebook '2G Tuesdays' to better understand markets like India
how do you compete with free?
pyvpx··on The $24B Data Business That Telcos Don't Want to Talk About
my initial thought was how many teens are patronizing $MALL_STORE or how many people are stopping at Chevron gas stations versus Shell.

at least that's more demographic/general, in my opinion. what you suggest is bordering "creepy".

pyvpx··on Intel x86 considered harmful – survey of attacks against x86 over last 10 years
is GOLEM available publicly and under an open source license?
pyvpx··on TalkTalk cyber-attack: boy, 15, arrested in Northern Ireland
the USSS evidence sticker on his PowerBook was a real conversation starter.
pyvpx··on RFC: Improving license and patent issues in the LLVM community
see eBPF
pyvpx··on Whitemark: Steganographic encoding of a watermark in the whitespace of text
Is anyone aware of legally (US and/or British law, specifically) "strong" stenographic techniques? Meaning a court would allow that this object is assigned to this person because of a stenographic key embedded in the object?
pyvpx··on Netmap-fwd – An IPv4 router over netmap for FreeBSD
considering it was done by the "owners" of pfSense, I'd say yes.
pyvpx··on The Law That Makes U.S. Expats Toxic
I keep seeing people repeat this, yet I can't find any information to confirm it. you can become a German citizen and still retain your US citizenship, from everything I've read and everyone I've asked on the matter.
pyvpx··on U.S. probes allegations AB InBev seeking to curb craft beer distribution
and yet in this case the Big Company is using one rule -- sales through distributors exclusively -- to make seemingly anticompetitive moves.
pyvpx··on How the Internet works
The "Tier" system is out-dated at best and shouldn't be regurgitated in this day and age.
pyvpx··on How a Battery Cut Microsoft Datacenter Costs by a Quarter
makes sense. their money is in cross connects and then power, at a distant second.
pyvpx··on How to Download a List of All Registered Domain Names
does GitHub need any publicity? honest question as I've found that anyone who would ever use the functionality GitHub provides is already very aware of git and GitHub.
pyvpx··on A Good Vimrc
can anyone suggest similarly helpful resources for those of us stodgily using nvi?
pyvpx··on Filtering millions of packets per second on commodity NICs
depends on the commodity NIC. but yes, an E5 with an Intel 10G card can almost do 14Mpps "out of the box"
pyvpx··on Is OpenSMTPD worthy of OpenBSD inclusion?
no, the claim is the default install. anything you install afterwards is...not the default.
pyvpx··on My 90's TV
they kept the tax breaks!
pyvpx··on iOS9 already driving IPv6 uptake
LTE is IP native, unlike its predecessors; and as previous posters have mentioned wireless networks ran out of IPv4 addresses many moons ago.
pyvpx··on AMS-IX Breaks 4 Terabits per Second Barrier
no, Amsterdam does not have the size amount of peering it does because of submarine cable landings, and DE-CIX is largest by bits exchanged in one single metro area (Frankfurt)
pyvpx··on Cisco routers in at least 4 countries infected by highly stealthy backdoor
this presentation says as much, but the techniques have been widely known for...ever. yes, most likely the only group with the will power and means is a government, but it certainly doesn't _have_ to be.

pyvpx··on A native hypervisor is coming to OpenBSD
arguable. Xen has become more and more Linux-centric and there seemingly has been less and less interest in the NetBSD developer community to keep abreast. see stub-domains
pyvpx··on Re: OpenBSD MIPS32 Support
because they find bugs and keep cleaner code?
pyvpx··on Apple’s content blocking is chemo for the cancer of adtech
what is the determining factor for "better"? if the web is for transmitting information, I'd say it is significantly fatter, slower, and more difficult to parse in that regard.

is it shinier? yes, it is much shinier.

pyvpx··on I uploaded 4 terabyte over Korea's 4G, and paid $48
what helps even more is abundant fiber accessibility. if every tower in Kentucky had ten gigabit circuits for backhaul, you'd see 4TB for ~$50 be viable there too.
pyvpx··on OS X sudoers exploit found in the wild
you should trust your end points. assuming you trust the machine you are using, the other end of the tunnel should be just as trustworthy. that's great if you trust a company; but what incentive do you have to trust them?
pyvpx··on We're heading for AOL 2.0
which is cheaper, uRPF everywhere or re-writing everything (aka forklift upgrade).

my gut says the former and not the latter. I could be wrong.

pyvpx··on Spy Software Gets a Second Life on Wall Street
can you recommend any resources to read more about this? I wasn't aware and it sounds incredibly interesting to me.
pyvpx··on Research Scientists to Use Network Much Faster Than Internet
perhaps for optical equipment to connection and switch existing dark and lit fiber. that makes much more sense.
pyvpx··on Quick and dirty way to have OpenBSD running on Linode
can you mention what is unsafe with FreeBSD's outdated version of pf?
