Re: [LUAU] Anyone got suggestions on low latency to the mainland ISP's

2012-08-03 Thread 808blogger
Lava.net is currently using QWEST and TWTC: (lava.net was purchased by
Tri-net solutions and is still 100% locally owned)

http://bgp.he.net/AS18612

latency from lava.net core to mainland is <60ms .
the physical distance adds (about)50ms no matter what.

It may be presumptive of me but, in my estimation everysingle one of those
computers is likely loaded with software and included incensing  (i could be
wrong) but everybusiness ihave ever worked with buys new computers with
operating systems. So all these machines all already loaded with free as in
beer software.

"You can't possibly "cheapen" the FLOSS community, it's already $0."

i disagree. i meant this in terms of value. pushing novel projects creates
an image of novelty not production.

"Actually, it is a long term strategy, the same one played by MacApple
and by Microshaft, who've for many years offered steep discounts for
school installations, in order to try to brainwash the next generation
into learning computers on their particular flavor, with the hope
they'd grow up to be consumers and corporate influencers who bought
what they learned on. So, HOSEF actually is doing a long term modality,
and maybe what you really want to see is something more focused on the
short term."

I wonder why there are not more apple computers in the business world? seems
like (ALERT ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE) the ratio of apple laptops on college
campuses FAR outpaces whats in the business world...

REPOST- I sent from wrong address and it got trapped in moderation. sorry


I run 100% open source
I am a parent

Having nothing to do with hosef i'll chime in.
the hosef group seems ( by looking at the photo gallery and projects)
focuses a lot on hardware for some reason. This was made clear when
reference was made about the hosef listserver(the physical machine from
what I interpreted). Why the focus on the machines? Anyone can host a
list serve. I know for a fact multiple companies would host a hosef
server for free.
Hosef also seems to focus a lot on children. This is very commendable
but does very little for the long term effective goal of open source
advocacy. Hosef also seems to have a business allergy. Hosef should be
educating businesses how to leverage open source software to their
benefit and bottom line. When business start become useres and
understanders of open source the result will be more open source at home
and at schools. Hosef needs to be much more involved in the business
community. The for the children bit seems more like a novelty and
"cheapens" the image of the oss community. Moving machines and
installing ubuntu for kids seems like a very low level of operation.

Helping people make money with oss != evil

Just my 2 cents worth..

Re: [LUAU] so much for OpenBSD

2007-08-06 Thread 808blogger
well Keep in mind no other OS has even a close record  to what the
openbsd team has done. And dont forget that the ssh you use everyday is
written by the openbsd team, thats right. Theo and co. have done a HUGE job
improving security the unix world at large.

and on the topic of this particular exploit, you would actaully have to be
on the same physical LAN segment to use this exploit. this is a not an "over
the internet" hack that can occur

to quote from http://www.securiteam.com/unixfocus/5HP0C1FKUO.html

"However, in order to exploit a vulnerable system an attacker needs to be
able to inject fragmented IPv6 packets on the target system's local network.
This requires direct physical/logical access to the target's local network
-in which case the attacking system does not need to have a working IPv6
stack- or the ability to route or tunnel IPv6 packets to the target from a
remote network."


99% of users will not even have a a problem with this and
you dont even have to patch the system if you dont want to  simply put
'block in quick inet6' in your pf.conf

dont dump on the openbsd guys. their product rocks.

Thats a cool two dollars to equip every student in a DOE student with

I drank beers with the network designer for that setup during the recent
astricon, as I run a local "ITSP" (or whatever the heck they are called)
voip network that i have designed and built running asterisk. There were
many factors, for their conversion... The irony of the story is that they
were going to keep the cisco phones simply for the feature that they allowed
dual sip registrations (or a hot backup) to 2 distict sip servers. almost no
other phone does this, currently even the polycom ip650's (the top of the
line polycom with hdvoice) cannot even do this. I just love the irony of the
backend just vaporizing and turning into open source and the end user/phone
wont even know!!

asterisk is the next true killer application. I think its powers are very

In case you thought that Python or dynamic languages don't scale
or that you've been FUD'd into believing you need to use Java or
.Net for the web.  That may be true in some corporate
environments but you're probably not going to get acquired for
$1.65 billion.

You can tell that a lot of YouTube uses MySQL and a hell of a
lot of database replication to cope with the custom queries for
different sections.  It's like, hmm, over hear it says 19,622
views and over here in the related box it says it's had 15,613
views.

Mind you, all of the major bandwidth for the videos is handled
by 3rd parties.
