This is a bit of history in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1466

if you started with sendmail (and sendmail.cf) then postfix was alright

I remember getting the cisco compatible switch optics from Memory dealers. Heaps cheaper than Cisco- $5 an optic compared to $1000.

We are seeing all the unix forwarders setup a decade+ ago are dead in the water now (have to be replaced with mailing list software)

I was involved with a project to decomission a low code on premise platform (Sharepoint 2013). What we found was there was a lot of user enthusiasm to create stuff but when the platform was end of life and had to be decomissioned the users enthusiasm melted away.

The "IT" dept had to spend a fortune re-validating the user requirements for the various applications, documenting and then converting them into a new platform. Obviously a lot of feature creep and previously accepted bugs (no longer accepted now that responsibility was no longer theirs).

A lot of the applications were frankenstein efforts from people over the years - lots of dead code no longer used, no docs etc. As others have mentioned people create mission critical stuff for their project or team, and then leave or be away on extended leave and it breaks etc.

Hard reboot on those old Sun systems usually meant a dirty filesystem and telling off by the admin as they needed an fsck

Unlikely as the u2 is not armed

According to Envoy CEO the Atlassian API key was compromised. Not saying how.

I have a bunch in the roof cavity to monitor for roof rat incursion. They have been going for about 3 years now.

I found the Blink camera was the best for a battery camera in terms of startup on PIR detection. In comparison my newer Eufy and Arlo cameras take a second or two (sometimes more) and have much less battery life.

The downside on the Blink is that you have to buy high end lithium AA batteries

My Australian IP is listed as North America.

That is just government though. However I'm sure ACSC is scanning all known AU websites...

I grew up with the physical set. My parents even lashed out on the micropaedia and macropaedia 12 book set. Which had very handy articles beyond the normal Britannica. It was like having the internet in those days.

In retirement my dad took to correcting the Britannica- ie fixing facts or crossing out entire debunked articles.

Still use bc

Maybe there will be a leak from the leak

15 years ago when I was changing jobs one of the roles was Sun Microsystems - which I liked the company but the role was to suggest and be embedded in a company and embed Sun products into every project (and I assume prevent competitors). Did not take it.

Only to make up for lost funding due to economic downturn from covid19 https://www.innovationaus.com/csiro-gets-a-459m-budget-lifel...

I use bc all the time. Just me I guess.

Most countries don't give the USA carte blanche access to their citizens criminal history unless it is in their interests to declare (I base this on observations of people who have past criminal convictions yet still get ESTA approvals and travel to the USA). However, the USA may have become aware of something that they previously were not aware of.

Me too. Learnt a lot about Unix, c, networking and compilers getting it working in 1992.

Be careful about VirtualBox Extensions which is non free on commercial environments. Oracle is hunting non compliance and VB provides them with lots of telemetry.

I think it is closed now.

I worked at an isp which serviced their CBR office with a 128k isdn then upgraded to a "2 mbit" PAPL link (a niche product where you used 2 or 4 pairs of directly connected copper which bypassed the exchange).
