It takes 8 hours 20 minutes to write 15TB over 500MBps. Why would you want to stick one of these in a RAID though?

It always annoyed me that HISTTIMEFORMAT is not set by default. Without it, log entries are simply not timestamped at all.
The readline tweaks were news to me, thanks.
In the years I've used uMatrix[0] I can't remember a single case where sending a cookie with a 3rd party request was needed. Why do browsers do this still?
Edit: From the product page the main advantage seems to be end-to-end checksums and an adaptive placement engine.
Architecture and performance comparisons would be very interesting, though I understand if you can't disclose that yet.
How did you reach that conclusion? While probably true, this article merely (poorly) describes how GCHQ "improved" on another backdoored encryption standard by making snooping impossible to detect.
This is only a thing because GCHQ has started certifying software and supporting the MIKEY-SAKKE protocol is a hard requirement.
One month after the transfer, Openreach ceases the PSTN line and the reaction from my new ISP was "well it's your responsibility to keep up your BT subscription" (never had BT).
Two weeks later, the PSTN line is still dark, and I'm waiting for Openreach to install a new MPF line provided by my current ISP (for an extra £10/month of course).
Apparently the reason for doing this rather than re-start the PSTN line is part of a process called "Local-loop unbundling".
I used Tomato (various flavours, including this one) for a long time until finally succumbing to OpenWRT.
The web interface is lacking compared to Tomato, but in return you get a recent LTS kernel built with the latest GNU toolchain and a superb package manager + collection.
OpenWRTs CLI config system is very slick, the web interface just doesn't yet hook into all possible settings (which may vary between devices).
Today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology—where each worker may bloom, secure from the pests purveying contradictory truths. Our Unification of Thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause. Our enemies shall talk themselves to death, and we will bury them with their own confusion. We shall prevail!

They should re-run this commercial for iPhone 7. "On September 24th, Apple Computer will introduce iPhone 7. And you'll see why 2017 won't be like 1984."
The board of directors[0] consists of people that all work for companies that sell turnkey cloud solutions that are very different from the open source Openstack. Up until recently even a VMware (later EMC) employee was there for whatever reason. Yeah, no conflict of interest there.
Openstack on its own is practically unusable unless you have an army of sysadmins ready to challenge the myriad of bugs and complex interaction of components. The only successful open-source deployments I know of is CERN (and possibly NASA) who are tailoring it for their specific use cases through a large engineering effort. If you're a small IT shop or otherwise low on resources, it's not worth the investment, and probably never will be.
Meanwhile companies like Mirantis, HP and Redhat keeps hailing Openstack as a true open source project in the hope that people will install it and come crying to them when it (guaranteed) breaks in multiple, mysterious ways.
Oh, and you have a broken hypervisor? Have fun looping through the MySQL (cluster edition!!) tables and migrate each VM one-by-one with the "nova" command. The "evacuate" button in the (terrible) default web interface does not do what you might expect (if you've ever used a proper virtualization solution).
The combined length of the Nova, Glance, Cinder and Neutron config files are 9451 lines (actually python code). Not including the various ini and JSON files, neutron plugins, and the settings stored in the database.
Source: worked with Openstack for a year, fought dozens of production-breaking bugs and race conditions and still don't have a stable product. About 30% of VMs will just fail during creation in various ways. CERN allegedly just keep retrying until it succeeds..
As many of the other poor souls who threaded the Openstack waters, we are actively exploring alternative solutions. Sadly we already have people using it, so we are forced to support it while figuring out what to do instead.
Not all of them are necessarily good practice though. This made me chuckle:
What Is The Current [Git] Branch?
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
A failed/failing drive present during cold boot could cause the controller to believe there were no drives present. To add insult to injury, on early BIOS versions this made the UEFI interface inaccessible. The only way to recover from this state was to re-seat the RAID controller.
There were also two bizarre cases where the operating system SSD RAID1 would be wiped and replaced with a NTFS partition after upgrading the controller firmware (and more) on an affected system (hanging/flapping drives). Attempts to enter UEFI caused a fatal crash, but reinstall (over PXE) worked fine. BIOS upgrade from within fresh install restored it.
From the changelog:
Fixes:
- Decreased latency impact for passthrough commands on SATA disks
- Improved error handling for iDRAC / CEM storage functions
- Usability improvements for CTRL-R and HII utilities
- Resolved several cases where foreign drives could not be imported
- Resolved several issues where the presence of failed drives could lead to controller hangs
- Resolved issues with managing controllers in HBA mode from iDRAC / CEM
- Resolved issues with displayed Virtual Disk and Non-RAID Drive counts in BIOS boot mode
- Corrected issue with tape media on H330 where tape was not being treated as sequential device
- resolved an issue where Inserted hard drives might not get detected properly.CLIMB (http://climb.ac.uk) aims to build a leading cloud platform for microbial bioinformatics. You will be a core part of our small development team and able to shape the project from its humble beginnings.
The project is a collaboration between Birmingham, Swansea, Cardiff and Warwick universities and this position is based in Birmingham. Our current platform includes Openstack, Ceph, GPFS, Vyatta, Salt and xCAT, but we are also looking at other technologies such as Docker/rkt, Nix/Guix and Ganeti.
Experience with managing a large Linux infrastructure and a strong understanding of networking is essential. This is a research project in its early stages, so your participation will have a big impact on its future.

After years of using uMatrix (formerly HTTP Switchboard), many sites "just works" wrt Youtube, Vimeo and similar even without first-party javascript enabled.
I've considered sharing parts of my global ruleset so others can just copy-paste the sections/sites they want to whitelist without having to discover what's required themselves.
Github and Twitter are large enough to not care. And if you're using something like Cloudflare, they can just take over your IP address with BGP, no DNS trickery needed.
I've worked a sysadmin for more than 10 years now, and never realized that it's not possible to CNAME the domain root. It's good to keep in mind, but in most cases there are other workarounds.
This is also why "naked domains" set up a whole other domain for static files rather than "static.yoursite.com", to avoid the "top-level" cookie (megacookie?) being sent with every request.
In a certain sense, git is "append-only". If you change a commit in history, every ancestor commit will have its SHA hash changed. Naturally this will conflict with other copies of the repository.
For backups you should do a "git clone --bare" which checks out the internal git structure with data and history, but not the actual files.
Examples: https://http.cat/418 - https://http.cat/451
With MIT license, many sites probably just implement the branding changes etc in the CE product on their own.

All is not lost, it seems.
Besides, Pymux is Python while tmux is C. I'm sure you can appreciate that adding a Python API to tmux would be non-trivial, both code-wise and politically.
If not, why should we give Google money to take potential income from smaller companies?

Does it have to be Debian? I'm looking forward to the inevitable "non-free" Guix fork that my grandmother can use. That will surely be the year of the Linux desktop.

I wonder whether it was discovered independently, or if it has been communicated somehow. Or maybe they've "always" done this, except with horses before cars.

Further, it's theatric because the many of the "dangerous" items have no obvious malicious use, and the rules are totally arbitrary. I can't bring knitting gear on an airplane, but my small pocket knife is totally fine (according to official rules, though some airport security agents will disagree).
Finally, any attempt at plane hijacking nowadays will cause passengers to fight for their life to prevent it. Prior to 9/11 people would just sit still and wait to land in Cuba or whatever, but now people associate hijacking with flying into a building and will act thereafter.
It could actually be safer to allow knives and similar "weapons" that can't penetrate the plane body, so people have a chance to defend themselves when some terrorist inevitably smuggles aboard a handgun and starts shooting.
