So you can see how I'd want to remove Global Sign from the list of trusted certificate authority. How do I do it?
I think you mentioned you were using FF so something like this:
- Options->Privacy ~& Security
- Scroll down to certificates
- Click "View Certificates"
- Fine the one you want and click "Delete or Distrust"
(*)OS/2 was also a damn good platform on which to develop DOS and Win16 applications. No more machine crashes from errant code. If the VDM barfed you just spun up a new one.
Have an upvote and -->
I had to do some some stuff in Delphi in the 90s (luckily only as a side as my main job was to run Sun and DEC systems) and got utterly disgusted at Windows crashing the whole box. Enter OS/2 Warp, after pain of getting networking up to speed (Warp Connect did not exist then yet) it was pure bliss. No more crashes (well not of the whole system anyway). Ran faster and more reliably the DEC pc (can't recall if it was 386 or 486).
It was so much better than Windows for actually getting stuff done.
That just reminds me of Maximum Overdrive (based on Stephen King's short story Trucks).
What's interesting is why a company peddling stuff like this actually chose to use AWS, rather than hosting their own servers. Surely they'd prioritise their own security over ease of use?
Possibly scale. Ease of deployment. No incriminating (assuming illegal in their jurisdiction) hardware/data on premises. Hiding in plain sight among all other stuff that lives in AWS.
Cheers! Don't mind if I do
I meant to comment on patch panels and switches but got sidetracked and hit submit.
Personally I would wire them up to patch panel for future flexibility. You could probably just house switch(es) in same space as the patch panel (I'm assuming none of your cables need to be longer than 100m from the patch panel to the wall port) and there is sufficient ventilation to the switch(es) don't cook.
If it was me, I'd probably also try to get incoming internet/telephony wired into the same space. Easy to then do what you need with it and/or distribute.
Cannot comment on the observatory, other than excellent idea! As for another workshop, that is a no brainer. One can never have too many workshops.
Good luck with your build!
Whatever you think ... double or triple it.
Also you could always run more cables than needed for the wall ports. If you need more ports in few years time, its lot easier to pull the box out of the wall, cut hole for another and install than trying to run new cables in a house you're living in.
Given Cat6a should be good for 10G, I'd imagine it should be quite sufficient for forseeable future.
Well, they don't necessarily need to start from scratch...
NRO donated couple of Kennens to NASA

Plenty more articles on that around.
You'd think at that price they could chuck in a USB hub with 2-3 ports (like Sun did on the USB keyboards). Would be much nicer to plug mouse/USB stick/headset etc to the keyboard rather than box under the desk (or worse try to find free port on a laptop).
And its Razer. Perhaps have been unlucky, but most Razer peripherals I've had (mice, keyboards) years ago all died pretty quick.
It's really the controller, not the drive.
I remember occasionally hooking up for example ST-225 to RLL controller. Better the drive, better the chance of it working. In fact, whilst probably an oddity, i found ST-225 more reliable with the RLL controller than the "real" ST-238R.
I don't have the need for ruggedized, but I think Panasonic did a great job on this one.
I think Panasonic has done fantastic job on Toughbook line since its inception. Certainly has been my first choice to consider if needing something rugged.
Tablet with keyboard dock seems quite a sensible idea to satisfy varying needs. And 10-point touch even when wearing gloves is nothing to sniff at.
There's absolutely no point in running it in a VM inside another OS. That just multiplies the effort required.
I don't entirely agree with that. Once you've created the VM image, it will (or should do) be easily transportable across machines as you fix/upgrade/reinstall them without having to deal with trying to reinstall a specific Windows version or possibly have to hunt for drivers etc.
If it all runs on current version of Windows, then I kind of see your point but you still leave yourself open to the possibility that forced Windows update renders the application non-functional.
There are also those who don't use transactions and use "autocommit" because that's how their old dBase/Paradox/Access/mySQL database worked....
It is not necessarily quite so "simple". For example Sybase, by default, runs in unchained mode so transactions (if not explicitly started) will commit automatically. However that does not prevent you from explicitly starting a transaction with BEGIN TRAN which you will then need to either commit or rollback.
You can of course also set your session is chained mode if you so wish.
also there's no comment on the sea states this runs in.
They do say it complies with Lloyds SSC G2 which says
G2 Service Group 2 covers craft intended for service in reasonable weather, in waters where the range to refuge is 20 nautical miles or less. This group will usually cover craft intended for service in coastal waters, for which geographical limits are to be identified by the Builder and agreed with LR.
Ah, but systemd is best thing since sliced bread. Fixes "problems" with old init. No?
Yup, I never had any issues with old init either. Why yes, of course my x86 servers are FreeBSD or Devuan. Closest thing that resembles systemd I have is SMF on Solaris but at least that works and only does what its supposed to.
They probably did the minimum necessary in order to be seen "to be doing something", as I would imagine they're a lot more frightened of a government legislating that devices must be supported for at least X years.
Or requirement for manufacturers to provide unlocked bootloader, if not during support cycle, at least at end of support.
Some of the less appealing aspects of Microsoft's platform were exposed by this bug. One is that Outlook, despite its high value in integrating email, calendar, contacts and tasks, remains full of legacy code that can cause problems.
Equally, if not more so, appealing is that despite having updates off, the software phones home and does updates behind you back.
I just want a good OLED screen with the latest HDMI or DP, in a frame more durable and thicker than my fingernail, so that I can immediately plug something else into it to make it "smart" that actually works reliably and not worry about the panel shattering the second I look at it wrong, respectively.
I'd rather he money was used for more HDMI/DP ports than pointless "smart" crap. I'd be happy with large, low-lag screen with 8+ HDMI ports and no "smart" gubbins. Yes 8 is bit of an overkill, but 4 (especially with one possibly used for ARC) is not really enough (think 2-3 consoles, Pi/NUC for "smart", possibly another PC or two, DVD, LaserDisc.... etc). Preferably with discrete selelction of ports via IR or wired remote control.
Sadly the "industrial" options whilst not having the unnecessary smarts, often also don't have large numbers of ports and as you said often have rather mediocre panels in them.
That's what I used to do with systems I supported. Multitech modem, with dialback numbers configured. Bonus was that the company paid for the call (except the inital call to initiate the callback) which with metered calls could easily add up.
As you said, dead easy to setup. And yes you could set it up so that you could also provide callback number with your "password" for the modem to fial back (only to be used at your peril of course).
The management were interested, until someone mentioned managing the PIs. I asked (on here) for a decent MDM solution for Raspbian. Didn't get a single answer. Just a lot of downvotes.
Shame that. Shouldn't have been too onerous to do (I appreciate you didn't get useful answers at the time) by PXE booting the PIs.
And I'm not talking about dealing with a couple servers, of which you could eventually get to know every single quirk. I'm talking about ruling over three hundred physical servers, with LDOMs and zones so poorly distributed (dev/staging/prod on the same blade) you'd learn to hate Solaris the way I did.
Then you were not doing it right. I've experienced environments much larger than that, running Solaris, with no appreciable maintenance/upgrade headaches. Yes of course time and effort was spent to get the basic setup (scripts/tooling) right, but after that it makes no difference how many hundred servers you have.
I'd say OS is pretty irrelevant in that discussion anyway, as you would have to get the basic setup right regardless of the OS. If you do it well enough your install/management/monitoring is probably fairly OS agnostic anyway.
I resemble that xkcd. I do recall one morning (after a heavy night out) discovering I had, apparently, finished some bit of code I was writing (at home for own purposes mind). Worked flawlessly. Had no recollection of touching it previous night. As I recall it was quite elegant (or incomprehensible ...or both).
I have no doubt it has plenty of capabilities. Perhaps bit too much. I suspect down to implementation, but its utterly horrid and slow (guess looking up valid values for (nearly) every field takes its time).
So his "Our purpose has never been more relevant. We are making the world of work work better for people." ...for me they are making world of work much much worse.
HP used to have nice cashback offers on their Microservers which made nice little NAS boxes (assuming 4 bays is enough).
Mine (old NxxL AMD models) are running nas4free and have been (knock on wood) totally trouble free, after adding intel gigabit card (as the onboard one chokes on large transfers).
I absolutely loved flying to Amsterdam on Suckling Airways from Cambridge. No need to leave home more than about 30+40 mins before flight. Drive down to airport, park in front of the building. Wander in, show ticket, get boarding pass (laminated piece of card with number on it), walk 2 feet hand it back and trundle out the doors, across tarmac up the steps to little Dornier. Coffee and nice home made rolls for breakkie in flight.
Sadly Schiphol end was of course the usual big airport experience.
Used to do that trip often. Some weeks every day.
Back around 1998, when firewalls were software running on hosts
Ah, joys of firewalls on remote locations. I recall back in mid/late 90s changing configuration of a Gauntlet firewall (running on a Sun box) remotely and yes of coursed ended up locking myself out.
At least it wasn't (IIRC) live yet or at least didn't bork production. Still, it meant drive down M11 to Docklands to fix it. You learn to be more careful after that.
I believe that one of the models of Cray supercomputer used to immerse some of the boards in a non-conductive, inert liquid to aid heat dissipation. I can't remember what it was called, but I understand it was green.
3M FluorinertTM. Introduced with Cray-2 with the rather memorable "waterfall". IIRC Cray 3 also used Fluorinert for cooling, sans the waterfall. The current and recent (FC-40, FC-74) are colourless, whether that was the case for Cray-2 I can't recall (didn't think it was colourless, but it was some time ago).
My personal experience (and one should never generalise from a single example) is that none of my three tests returned a result in under 4 days. This is totally inadequate to reduce infection rates for a virus that exhibits such a high rate of infection. (I would be interested to hear from other Register readers of their experiences of Test and Trace.)
Day 2 and Day 5 (TTR) within 24 hours, Day 8 just over 24 hours. Either they're getting better or number of test they do has reduced sufficiently that they can get results expediently.
