zfs is for when you want RAID and snapshots but are prepared to have it blow up every now and then.

"professional Sysadmin"

Yes, and to be more subtle also see e.g. UMBRAGE in Vault7 [1]. CIA has impersonated Kaspersky Labs, and other agencies/countries do the same.

I moved my domains last year from Gandi to Porkbun, very happy customer.

Why not use TeX/LaTeX instead and also include a link to the code?

Yeah, as somebody who has run their own mail server for years, #1 is a huge concern.

Perhaps relay the email out via your ISP account? I do that and it works well.

Having email just down for a couple days while you wait for new hardware to would be a very bad experience.

Perhaps set up a fallback MX that directs traffic to e.g. a Mailfence account when your primary MX is down? Works for me. Also, mail servers can be cheap hardware (an old x220 will do).

No music is the best option, so you can continue work and notice it instantly when someone joins or if you are connected. With hold music you always need to turn the volume down to avoid the loud low quality music. It also makes having conversations more difficult.

The main story here is the decrease in EBIT margin (i.e., operating margin) and the development of the monetization metrics.

An email provider that is not blacklisted and allows relay. I currently use my ISP for that.

Taken from my smtpd.conf:

  table secrets { mylogin = [email]@ziggo.nl:[pass] }
  accept tagged DKIM for any relay via tls+auth://mylogin@smtp.ziggo.nl:587 auth <secrets>

Just relay it out via a trusted host, in addition to setting up DKIM, SPF, etc.; that solved all the problems for me. My email server is working excellent for many years now (OpenBSD, OpenSMTPD, dovecot) with Rainloop as web-based frontend.

Don't blame Excel if your processes suck. Excel is a tool, namely a Swiss army knife to edit and present data that is commonly used in business. It can be very powerful if you know what you are doing.

But as clearly indicated in the text, dr. Tannenbaum does not have a problem with how things worked out:

I don't mind, of course, and was not expecting any kind of payment since that is not required. There isn't even any suggestion in the license that it would be appreciated.

The only thing that would have been nice is that after the project had been finished and the chip deployed, that someone from Intel would have told me, just as a courtesy, that MINIX 3 was now probably the most widely used operating system in the world on x86 computers. That certainly wasn't required in any way, but I think it would have been polite to give me a heads up, that's all.

If nothing else, this bit of news reaffirms my view that the Berkeley license provides the maximum amount of freedom to potential users. If they want to publicize what they have done, fine. By all means, do so. If there are good reasons not to release the modfied code, that's fine with me, too.

What do you use for CalDAV and CardDAV? I only found Nextcloud to be working well.

Is 'dark UX patterns' the new meme for something that has already been around for >15 years? <insert bold red marquee here>

Do not rely on Google and its services if your public beliefs / opinions do not align with the establishment, are politically incorrect in even the slightest degree, or if you value your privacy. There are good alternatives (preferably open source).

Optimization backed by comparative statics. These reads are so satisfying. Thank you for submitting.

A couple of comments.

The share price is _not_ supposed to drop after an IPO. The insiders still have a lock-up of 6 months, so a lower price would be bad for them. Moreover, the investors in the IPO also want some upside. In the end, the IPO price is a negotiated price that takes into account a lot of considerations. Once public, the price is dictated by the last trade.

And "smalltime" investors shouldn't invest in IPOs because of the so-called winner's curse.

And I would recommend MobaXterm, definitely also worth to try.

This article is related to no-limit heads-up, which requires a very different style of play than no-limit full ring. Full ring would be significantly more difficult to beat by AI. So the title leaves out some very important information. I am not surprised they beat heads-up; I would have expected it sooner.

This saga started with "Russian hackers penetrated U.S. electricity grid through a utility in Vermont, officials say".

Then we got "Russian operation hacked a Vermont utility, showing risk to U.S. electrical grid security, officials say"

In summary, (i) the U.S. electricity grid was not penetrated, (ii) the malware can be purchased online by anyone.

The WaPo seems to be more concerned lately with pursuing a certain agenda instead of quality journalism. Another example is a recent article in which they give credibility and rely on an organisation called PropOrNot; this article even became "one of the most widely circulated political news articles on social media". [1]

And organisations such as the WaPo are supposed to shield us from fake news and "fact-check" Trump.

The problem is not the first mover advantage of Facebook, but that people do not understand logical fallacies, that they erroneously believe that most media is impartial, and that they are unaware of confirmation bias.

Logical fallacies should be taught in school: we also start with simple arithmetic before we move to more complex topics. (A course in formal logic seems overkill, it should be an applied course.)

This! NewsBlur is awesome. For newsletters: http://blog.newsblur.com/post/146752875548/newsletters-in-yo...

NewsBlur even has support for Twitter: http://blog.newsblur.com/post/145256277160/twitters-back-bab...

Unfortunately, everyone (you, your family, that egg on Twitter, most pundits, and at least one organization purporting to be doing exit polling) has no fucking idea how exit polls are conducted and why those initial figures are a steaming pile of crap until real figures on turnout (i.e. the votes themselves) have been tabulated.

We do, don't be so condescending and expletive. The popular press just wants some cheap sound bites to get more views / clicks. They do the same with academic research, in which they mistake economic significance for statistical significance, ignore any shortcomings, ignore non-rejected hypotheses, and project the findings outside of the (often very limited) scope.

Here are two lectures on this. Very interesting, although far beyond what I can grasp.

This was before the UX people took over the web and desktop. I blame the introduction of smartphones, which was when the public at large finally came online. To appeal to this group, a lot of interfaces and websites got redesigned, losing a lot of functionality and efficiency. KDE is thankfully still rather usable.

Open source alternative to Yubikey (but with some features missing, such as NFC): https://www.nitrokey.com/

Agreed, OpenBSD is rock solid; it just works, with well thought out defaults and excellent drivers for devices that are supported. I only wish they would port hammer faster..

As a side note, see these two links for some quotes and passages from Gibbon's magnum opus. The whole work (including footnotes) is amazing.

This is the Internet, whose users tend to be highly innovative. If your business model is built on serving (good) content with ads and people don't like ads, then you will have a problem. It is a pity for some, but inherent to the Internet.

I have seen many web sites turn from a hobby into a small business funded by ads, who are now feeling the pinch. They either need to find a new way to monetize what they offer, or turn into a hobby project again. (Which often saves a lot of money on horrible UX. Generally after 2007 / the uptake of smartphones a lot of good features were eliminated and sucked into the black hole of UX and dumb simplifications to accommodate the average Internet user. Everything is tailored now for the average user, and the power user is left out.)

We would like to thank the LibreSSL team for their great work and their incredibly quick response, and Red Hat Product Security for promptly assigning CVE-IDs to these issues.

Patch: http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/5.8/common/007_ob...

Releases: http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/

I am glad that bugs are found. It shows that the audit is thorough, since bugs can still be expected in LibreSSL (still quite new) and OpenSMTPD (audit was explicitly requested).

Also happy 20th birthday OpenBSD! The other email from Theo today: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=144515087006177 and/or http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.misc/225844.
