Who can afford the performance hit?
My production server running Win XP Home has to have the firewall off just to make all the super secret company internal networks work. SFTP would cripple us!
/s, except about the performance hit being stupidly unacceptable in 2024.
You will pry ftp from my cold dead hands.
Yup. I remember when we had to tear our own half sheets of paper towel. Kids today have it too soft, and absorbant.
But but but, China bad boogie man! They can’t possibly do anything good.

Yes. It’s a very stupid legal loophole the USA has called standing. Anyone can sue anyone for anything. But to get it to court you have to prove standing.
This is the same reason why you can’t get a protective order against someone UNTIL they attempt something. Nothing is preventative, everything is reactionary. And if the reaction against you kills you, your estate doesn’t have standing.
Pretty sure you have to flip it upside down so the oil dribbles out.
Even the shit laptops come with 256GB nowadays. Saving less than 0.5% of storage on OS optimizations that reduce usability is a poor tradeoff.
Heck even my phone has 1TB… Flash bytes are cheap. If you have a 32GB soldered down chip, buy a flash drive for the price of a BjgMac and voila you’ve 4x’d your storage.
It’s a conditional branch… You make that into a loop. Branch if zero, branch if not zero, etc.
Ah yes the X86 instruction set for mapping.
Everything is a conditional branch loop. Always has been.
If it affects system performance and gives me no noticeable benefit. Otherwise, flash bytes are cheap. I’ve got 30TB+ in my laptop. Why do I care if I have a 3GB OS or a 2.95GB OS?
Directly from many venues. And some ticket sellers that aren’t owned by them. Some smaller venues use them, and some artsier places.
But for the mega concerts, I just don’t go where Ticketmaster holds the venue contract. I fly and see who I want elsewhere.
Haven’t bought anything on Ticketmaster or their owned companies in years. And I generally go to 2 to 5 live shows a month.
This and their policy towards VPNs means I won’t support them.
BBB is actually really good nowadays compared to where it started. I’ve got quite a few deployed hardware appliance designs with them baked in. The real time IO and subprocessor was a nice quick and dirty way to get a little psuedo FPGA
A cheap USB-C hub can only output so many power and voltage levels at once. Looking at that device it’s only a single USB C PD in and a single USB C PD out. Not a bad device, but not really a real charging hub if that is your goal.
Anker uses pretty good controllers. It’s of course possible you got a bad one, but it’s highly unlikely this is systemic.
US credit cards still don’t use a PIN. The rest of the world uses Chip&Pin or nfc contactless. The US uses magnetic strip very often, chip and no pin, and now contactless. The verification if asked, is not a PIN, it’s the billing zip code (5 digit postal code of the US). Usually just petrol pumps ask.
It’s also why I strongly advise any foreigner visiting Murica to learn the default zip for their card. If you use an international card (any non American card in America) it will still ask you for your zip code and if it fails, no petrol for you. And in the US you must pay BEFORE you pump so you could quite literally be stranded because of their archaic banking system.
Many European cards use 00000 or 12345. I’ve seen some Asian cards that use the last 5 digits of the card. Even if you have an American card if you aren’t the standard boring American household that never moves, it can be a pain. The card may have its billing address (and therefore zip) set to a place you’ve never been. But you have to remember it.
One reason I’ve stopped using reddit entirely. They require fingerprinting you. If you do a good job and they can’t fingerprint you, you get that screen. It is NOT blocked by IP of the VPN as some here have said. You can easily see the content through the same VPN while not logged on as long as you have enough identifiable tracking information to reasonably guess who you are.
It’s a great test now. If I’m ever let into view reddit now, I must have seriously screwed up somewhere in my security chain.
I love how you’re being downvoted because the cavemen Muricans can’t comprehend modern banking that doesn’t involve cheques.
Blows their mind when you talk about tapping to pay in the early 2000’s. No Apple didn’t invent it.
Perfectly well said.
It’s infuriating to have to split a banking app off the VPN tunnel because they deem that secure. Or that 2FA over SMS which is inherently insecure and spoofable is acceptable and REQUIRED versus an RSA key or authenticator app.
It’s pushing me into grumpy old man territory quickly. My bank swapped to some of these requirements for their app last year so now I phone in on an international VOIP number over VPN and can do all my banking. It’s absolutely insane that’s its an acceptable form of communication over my secure device in my hand, but it’s easier to call the line like an octagenerian, give them digits off of a debit card, and be able to wire money in and out and around all my accounts. I see why scammers have such an easy time.
It was a Ukrainian mission directed by the USA. Before you downvote do even a basic amount of research. There was a great finding recently that tracked down the who and the how. A chartered yacht with 6 Ukrainian special forces planted the charges and it’s not an unknown anymore. They used fake passports, left out of Rostock Germany, and Germany traced it. They found the people via camera and entry. They found the yacht itself still with explosive residue on it.
Ipv4 is one of those things that works awesome, is simple, and is a victim of its own success. Ipv6 is just complicated bloat of a standard. Cool features, but nobody implements them, so useless.
In 30 years, probably useful. Until then, I’m not giving up Ipv4.
