sengork··on Programming cheat sheets
I recall rosetta stones for various UNIX operating systems. There were many versions of this most of them outdated now. Quick example:

sengork··on Deepjazz: AI-generated 'jazz'
This reminds me of AWK Music http://kmkeen.com/awk-music/
sengork··on Docker 1.11: The first OCI-compliant runtime, built on containerd
Standardisation at the format level will help with portability across different platform implementations.
sengork··on Post-Mortem for Google Compute Engine’s Global Outage on April 11
Networking issues in either the storage or communication subsystems of any platform normally result in wide-spread disruptions.
sengork··on Mutt 1.6
This certainly brings back memories. I've all but forgotten about Mutt, however instantly recognised it when I saw the post.
sengork··on VNC Roulette
Some do work when connected to via a VNC viewer. Yes the website only displays dated JPEGs.
sengork··on VNC Roulette
I don't see any of the screens moving. Maybe they are all idle sessions, however I did not expect that many of them.
sengork··on iPhone SE
So much for tech specs page, it doesn't list the battery capacity. Does anyone know how many mAh it is?
sengork··on Opera CEO: Sale to Chinese Consortium Wasn’t Our Decision
Another less known fact is that Opera used to have a large footprint in the embedded browser markets. (eg. Wii, TVs, players, OS pre-boot environments)
sengork··on Opera CEO: Sale to Chinese Consortium Wasn’t Our Decision
Vivaldi[1] is now where most of the Opera founders have congregated to. The project is fresh and rhymes of Opera Presto days.

sengork··on ZFS is the FS for Containers in Ubuntu 16.04
I wonder how this would work under shared storage model for container clusters (eg. Mesos). NFS does not cut it for all use cases (eg. DBs).
sengork··on We Need a Better PC
ThinkPad P50 might be for you: http://www3.lenovo.com/au/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-p-ser...
sengork··on Unikernels are unfit for production
For what it's worth:

sengork··on Thanks for Trumpet Winsock
I wonder how much of his programming know-how could be attributed to the high school curriculum.

In the 1970s Tasmania was the best equipped Australian state for computer based subjects. A lot of the schools had terminals to a central computer[1]. Buses, I/O devices and assembler topics were covered as early as year 9 levels.

sengork··on 802.11ah Wi-Fi Standard Approved
Also to note is that a potential hacker doesn't need to be within the visible range of the home WiFi network with the increase in coverage.
sengork··on 802.11ah Wi-Fi Standard Approved
Cheers, I didn't find that one when I searched.
sengork··on In Memoriam: Ian Murdock
Thanks to him, Solaris now has a proper packaging system with dependency handling and repositories.
sengork··on Linux Performance Analysis in 60,000 Milliseconds
Don't know why but this post reminded me of GKrellM.
sengork··on Support for older versions of Internet Explorer ends on January 12, 2016
Some of the lower tier (but very common) LAN network hardware requires old versions of IE to function during firmware upgrades and configuration changes with no CLI equivalent options.

In most cases the hardware vendors never address the browser compatibility issue (due to focus on new products) and only provide a warning sign upon login. Likewise the hardware isn't easy to replace in some environments.

This use case is completely absent from the web browsing traffic usage patterns on the internet which predominate in browser usage statistics.

sengork··on Made in Japan Ain't What It Was
Korea is the new (or another?) Japan when it comes to quality of goods.
sengork··on Screenshots from developers and Unix people taken in 2002
RTCW:ET is still well and alive thank you.
sengork··on Screenshots from developers and Unix people taken in 2002
So both creators of C used Windows...
sengork··on Timing attack against HSTS to sniff browser history in Chrome and Firefox
Security features (like any software features in general) are additional vulnerability vectors prone to implementation flaws.
sengork··on Notes on a tour of an Amazon distribution facility (2014)
And something unrelated I've learnt about Google Docs:

"Wow, this file is really popular! Some tools might be unavailable until the crowd clears."

sengork··on IBM has built a digital rat brain that could power tomorrow’s smartphones
It's an investment for the future since the mining boom is declining. Also research universities down under do have their niches on global scale (eg. medical research).
sengork··on Lessons Learned from Reading Post Mortems
One could learn a lot from observing the methods and practices applied to legacy systems.
sengork··on The Strange Appeal of Watching Coders Code
The real educational benefit to this is seeing other people's workflows and how their components could complement your own workflows.
sengork··on Show HN: My SSH server knows who you are
From http://www.cisco.com/web/about/ac123/ac147/archived_issues/i...

"publickey: The details of this method depend on the public-key algorithm chosen. In essence, the client sends a message to the server that contains the client's public key, with the message signed by the client's private key. When the server receives this message, it checks to see whether the supplied key is acceptable for authentication and, if so, it checks to see whether the signature is correct."

sengork··on IBM to Open Source 50 Projects
Even AIX on x86 was abandoned after a beta run many years ago. AIX and PPC are hand in hand and remain what they always were.
sengork··on Long and short scales
One way to hide all of the zeroes is to rename (reclassify) the currency denominations. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_peng%C5%91
