An additionap note on what a certificate is, to supplement everyone here who've desceibe howbthat's the missing piece:

A certificate's first main purpose is being the vehicle vy which the public key is distributed, but additionally it contains information ABOUT the owner. Then the whole thing is digitally signed with the private key (and also a trusted CA's private key), so that a receiver can validate the authenticity of the cert with the public key.

The "info" in the cert can theoretically be anything, but the most important one is the domain. Your browser knows that visiting google.com is secure because it checks the cert it gets from google.com to see if it states that it owns the google.com domain, and then we trust the root CAs around the world to make clients prove they own that domain, before issung a cert for it.

All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week (arstechnica.com)

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

Unironically, yes. Everything we had 20 years ago, but worse.

I feel like this is the first time I've EVER heard of a fine being "all the profits you made from the fraud." Is this for real? Why the hell is it Razer, of all companies, that's getting a proper punishment?

The most recent annual report, for 2022, showed the charity made almost $4m that year, while its expenses were just under $4.2m.

A $200k budget shortfall with $4m revenue is not a "we're insolvent" situation, it's a "we need to cut $200k worth of events and other expenses" situation. I wonder what the full story is here?

JakenVeina ,

So, wait, Mocrosoft is finally giving us a way to fully-disable automatic Windows Updates?

A couple of video streaming services, Hulu, which includes Disney+, Discovery+ and Netflix. That totals up to like $50/mo or so.

Other than that, it's aaaallllll independent creators, through Twitch or Patreon.

You can't just steer people into bridge abutments

So thaaaaaat's what happened with the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Generally speaking, fault protection schemes need only account for one fault at a time, unless you're a really large business, or some other entity with extra-stringent data protection requirements.

RAID protects against drive failure faults. Backups protect against drive failure faults as well, but also things like accidental deletions or overwrites of data.

In order for RAID on backups to make sense, when you already have RAID on your main storage, you'd have to consider drive failures and other data loss to be likely to occur simultaneously. I.E. RAID on your backups only protects you from drive failure occurring WHILE you're trying to restore a backup. Or maybe more generally, WHILE that backup is in use, say, if you have a legal requirement that you must keep a history of all your data for X years or something (I would argue data like this shouldn't be classified as backups, though).

Damn, actual personal growth being displayed on the internet? Such a rare thing I find myself wondering it wasn't all staged. How messed up is that?

Also, how messed up is it that it worked, cause I'mm'a go watch all of these.

So, what you're saying is, their current setup is working for you, and their new proposal for lower-orbit satellites isn't really necessary?

Why the hell is a professional tech business not relying almost-exclusively in ethernet, anyway?

Discord gained popularity and maintains it, in spite of the many reasons to avoid it, because of usability and feature richness. Slack, Teams, Matrix, Telegram, they are miles ahead of everyone else in the live-chat space, when it comes to user experience.

This was an interesting article about some tech I've never heard of before, but it has little to nothing to do with Discord's overall success.

A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock. (www.theverge.com)

A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock.::Reddit seems like a likely candidate for a meme stock. But the actual reaction suggests that r/WallStreetBets isn’t going to send the stock to the moon.

JakenVeina ,

I hate Huffman as much as the next guy, but the $193 million factoid is misleading clickbait nonsense. His actual salary is apparently $400k, the rest is "stock value" or whatever. Reddit is not giving 25% of its yearly revenue to the CEO.

What is your preferred method for backing up several TB of data?

What storage software could I run to have an archive of my personal files (a couple TB of photos) that doesn't require I keep a full local copy of all the data? I like the idea of a simple and focused tool like Syncthing, but they seem to be angling towards replication....

JakenVeina ,

rsync, for sure. That's what I used when I had to migrate a 10TB datastore to a new machins.

There was another article I read that had a snippet from F5. As I read it, their concern was that they have two release tracks: the paid/subscription track, and the free track. They are actually the same code, but the free track is just 2 releases behind, so the idea is that if you want the "latest and greatest" stuff, you gotta pay. It's a fairly common strategy in the industry.

So, the concern is that for security vulnerabilities that are not CVEs, info about the vulnerability (and how to exploit it) is out in the wild for two whole releases, before the patch reaches the free-tier users.

Seems like an actively good position on F5's part, from this angle.

Scientists develop game-changing 'glass brick' that could revolutionize construction: 'The highest insulating performance' (www.thecooldown.com)

Scientists develop game-changing 'glass brick' that could revolutionize construction: 'The highest insulating performance'::The team of scientists developed an aerogel glass brick, which is a translucent and thermally insulating material.

Me, I'm noticing the distinct lack of any information on cost or cost-effectiveness.

A DNS Proxy/Forwarder server? That's where you would configure how your .internal domain resolves to IPs on your internal network. Machines inside the network make their DNS queries to that server, which either serves them from cache, or from the local mappings, for forwards them off to a public/ISP server.

Stating outright that you don't expect the obvious thing that always happens to happen... bro you're already giving shareholders a reason to say you're an incompetent manager and replace you with someone that will gut the company for stock growth.

JakenVeina ,

The guy in the video clearly benchmarked his use case.

This is the real answer in almost any scenario. Don't optimize without hard evidence.
