not if they are legacy and not subject to the LIRs usage agreement.

you might have to buy some really big military contractors to pull that off, though :)

that was my first guess at "how'd they make it faster?" icc is sometimes a shockingly better (read: compiled code that is faster) compiler.

how is that any different than the traditional definition of "systems administrator"

I've always felt DevOps was just a shiny new synonym for the decades old SysAdmin moniker.

NetBSD has some support of some kind for some of the Atheros chipsets. I understand even less about MIPS in NetBSD than I do in FreeBSD; but I'm very interested and financially motivated.

I'll have to get on freebsd-mips and start getting annoying with my simpleton questions :)

I believe it's impossible to squeeze relatively recent (9 or 10) FreeBSD versions down to that size. The linked git repo makes mention of needing at least 8MB for some builds. And you don't get IPv6 at that size.

to get the performance people are constantly raving about, you need the very proprietary binary blobs that take full advantage of the Cavium hardware acceleration.

otherwise it's just another beefy MIPS machine.

by definition it is not. just like communism isn't regular socialism.

the world, collectively, could use much more political science education. the same could be said for nearly all bitcoin supporters (especially in the early days)

ok. how do I add support for other similar Atheros MIPS SoCs? I have a few, and a bit of FreeBSD user/admin experience; but the kernel config files in the wifi git repo might as well have be conjured up using magic, to me.

more directly: how'd you do what you did? :)

that's awesome. now for those who have a plethora of other MIPS & ARM devices but next to zero kernel hacking skills, what can they do?

I make a point of reading thesis' on topics relevant to me (Masters and Doctoral) and I'm a college drop out.

it's a shame opensignal isn't more like openstreetmap with its dataset.

Semiology of Graphics by Jacques Bertin is intense, thorough, and useful if you have the stamina for it.

if so, then why should the pipes be privatized at all? in that case, the pipes should be built out and maintained at a governmental-level and leased back at a uniform/standardized price to all providers.

Are you in Hargeisa? If so, you can solve the crappy internet problem by patronizing someone who has a Somcable connection.

unfortunately there is a wealth of substantiated and credible history that shows just about all state-level espionage outfits engage in, if not focus on, industrial espionage.

the US certainly didn't put a man on the moon with a clean room implementation...

I had the same thought. "this is cool. but what should I do with it?"

having only read about the usage and successes of AFL, I'm curious what you would "feed" this network protocol debugger. a grammar file (something like BinPAC++ [0]) or something else entirely?

while I fully agree with your last part, the first part of your argument is dubious at best. it would be trivial to get away with a malicious access point in an airport. they helpfully provide charging stations for your electronics, and all it takes is an identically sized and shaped power brick to drop in a malicious access point.

see http://samy.pl/keysweeper/ but modified with wifi instead of bluetooth and you get the idea.

unfortunately other providers, like DigitalOcean, don't seem to support rumpkernels or unikernels.

when did eventual consistency equate to race conditions, or even increased susceptibility to race conditions? I don't follow. could you explain your reasoning further?

laying the fiber is actually the cheap part, if you count the cost of securing Rights of Way (ROW). lawyers and politicians are far more expensive than skilled workers with heavy equipment.

not when those dollars can be spent on LTE/wireless and see a far greater return. just because something is profitable doesn't mean there is something even MORE profitable to spend dollars on (in VZs case, wireless wireless wireless)

what makes them unviable currently, in your opinion?

I want to know more about the 800MM on "improving" Internet access. that seems absurdly high, even for one of the top three school districts in the nation (by size)

it's 5% and probably not any voting-class shares. that's a nice thought, though.

disclaimer: I did not RTFA

as a child of the early oughts, having the CEO of Time Warner extol about having the most pirated show in the world -- not to mention explicitly stating it leads to more subscribers -- is almost jaw dropping.

how do I get in touch with these folks? I can help them not fail and charge a very modest percentage! :)

the most pressing comment I have after reading that is "how did the network damage your camera to the point of being irreparable?"

that sounds like one hell of a denial of service -- firmware damage!

it'd be nice if NetBSD was available from these cloud providers.
