Recently upgraded my WAN to 10/10 Gbit/s P2P Fiber. The router is a UCG-Fiber, connected via a DAC/SFP+ cable to a USW-Flex-2.5G-8-PoE switch. My APs were already Wi-Fi 7 with 2.5GbE PoE, so no change there.

Total cost was around USD 400. The result: effectively unlimited bandwidth, and, best of all, an average latency of 1ms to the internet. Do I need it? No. Do I love it? Absolutely.

I had the same feeling when I read the interview along with the attached screenshots. A nice way to start a Sunday morning.

My recipe: "Windows 95 System Programming Secrets" by Matt Pietrek and "Unauthorized Windows 95" by Andrew Schulman, years of fooling around with NuMega SoftICE, lots of IRC, lost youth, yet lots of fun.

When challenged why we'd scrum since we were doing better as a whole before (better products, happier devs), mgt replies that they'd need scrum to detail the work we did so that they could write longer bills to the clients.

How could Apple properly review something like this? Isn't it one of Apple's selling pitches that they'd review each app for malicious activity before it makes it to the app store?

Ditto. As an Android user, I am glad Pushbullet exists, and my whole daily workflow depends on it. Kudos.

How I wish there was a native version of ZTree for Linux.

Using borg here:

- configured through Borgmatic

- encrypted

- long retention (daily, weekly, monthly)

- stored on a relatively fast and large external backup disk (right now a Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD)

The backup plan is automatically triggered when I connect my notebook to the docking station. Never failed me and already saved me from the embarressment of accidently modifying or deleting important files that are not part of a git repo.

"By default" means it's just a switch in the Bios to fix this issue? If yes, not a big deal, is it?

It used to be IRC mainly. Efnet, later Linknet or similar. Often involved the group maintaining their own server linked to the network (preferably hosted by an admin of a big university). The server not only made sure that only encrypted connections were allowed (hi Blowfish), but also that clients authorized to use it automatically received a spoofed IP/hostname (something childish like @i.am.too.leet.for.paradox.org) to hide ones true location.
