Well, it'd probably be a capitalist randian chaebol clusterfuck of industry and manufacturing, rather than juche.

Show me any documentation whatsoever that proves a pure layer 2 Ethernet switch has been put on a test network and observed (via packet capture on its upstream) sending data home.

Don't forget US support for the Greek military junta: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_military_junta_of_1967%E... And the US military LOVED Saddam Hussein. https:/…

if somebody wants to sue a layer 2 ethernet fabric chip maker they're insane. any asshole can use a switch to do any sort of terrible thing with their nation's internet infrastructure. it&#x…

One of the amazing things about the US is that poorest 15% of the population (by gross household income) is also the FATTEST segment of the population. In developing countries where the poorest 15% ar…

I would be surprised if CSE and CSIS don't have their own staff embedded inside Blackberry, either with or without the company's knowledge. They don't have nearly the budget that NSA do…

You could have a very lightweight http server that only runs for the 30-second period of time needed to communicate with the ACME server for the certificate issue...

For small working groups that all trust each other (example: a network engineering team at an ISP with a bastion host that everyone needs to SSH into before accessing anything else), a really easy sol…

I'm not quite sure how to sent a direct user-to-user message, or if it's possible, so I'm doing this in a reply... I would also like to compare notes and previous experience from telec…

99% of all VPS providers (in the $5/mo category, not $75/mo) will kill your account for running an exit node. They do not want their blocks of ARIN, RIPE or APNIC ipv4 space listed in every …

I know the hashes exist, but they're not used on traffic in transit except in very unusual circumstances. They're used by web hosting companies/dedicated server providers/VPS hosti…

The people who live in Dildo, Newfoundland will be disappointed.

How long until somebody in MA screen captures the entire Model S service manual and puts it up for public consumption as a torrent?

and this is why certain 4x4 enthusiasts enjoy driving 25 year old diesel vehicles.

Do not trust the butt. Do not trust the butt. Do not trust the butt. If you didn't build it and you don't know where it is, it could go away at any time for any reason and you will have zero…

I don't understand why anyone would buy a home automation/smart-home device that can't work fully independent of "the cloud" (butt) with local management. If I can't talk…

In an African context with limited logistics and trucking options, absolutely. And the projects are at a bare minimum budget already. I've been involved with a few, just the subcontract for concr…

Most long haul fiber cables pulled these days are way more than 48, at minimum 144, 288 or most commonly 864 strand ribbon. If you're trenching 300 km of fiber along a railway the cable itself is…
