I love reading these kinds of wikipedia articles especially when it comes to reprecussions on ancient civilizations.. anyone got a book suggestion for s/t more detailed?
yes. I thousand times yes.
I'm always seeking for sites like this (anyone any recommendations?).
You should enrich it more with advice, equipment requirements etc etc... (and of course with more hikes :P)
Can someone enlighten me, what is going on with NSA these last days (besides Snowden of course) ? I hear about new leads that they can break mainstream internet encryption methods. Is this true, and if so in what level? What about open source encryption?
can you have a Linode account w/o having an active server?
This is suppose to offer a small testing environment, fast and easy.
and I guess is cheaper that Linode to just keep it a little bit longer online...
I always wanted to say that lwn's effort to write good articles (like this one) is shadowed by their weak website. There isn't for example an index of similar articles like this one or introductions to various kernel modules/structures. Maybe everyone but me can find them.
