Wow. That leaves me wondering just how badly things went with the custom panel :(

(Quote) Not really, it's just a review problem. Google certainly could review all of the popular plugins (which are the likely targets of malicious acquisitions and such), they just choose not to. Unlike Mozilla, which does actually review popu…

It appears that this was the construction of SBG2: (Image) And apparently they were using water sprinklers, not gas suppression. So yeah, fire waiting to happen.

Congratulations, and an excellent introduction :) It makes me very happy to see that a peaceful community-voted transfer of 'ownership' can just... happen, here! I think anyone who has been around for forums in the 2000s knows that it oft…

(Quote) I can't speak for other nominees, but I can clarify my vision at least: I've always considered the LowEnd community to be one that should be independent from both any provider's individual interests, as well as collective pro…

Wow, what on earth happened to Netcraft? They used to be good people, but seem to have gone completely off the deep end with security snakeoil and "brand protection" nonsense...

(Quote) Nah, internet.bs has had free WHOIS protection for many years, long before the GDPR was a thing.

(Quote) ... assuming that Storj can actually accurately determine how many copies of a piece of data exist, which they almost certainly can't because it's a trustless network (like I described above). That's the whole problem with it.…

(Quote) The main concern with ~decentralized storage~ thingems isn't the price, though that usually doesn't look great either. Rather, the problem is availability and durability. How sure can you be that the data you store now, will still …

(Quote) Oh, huh, you're right. (Quote) (Emphasis mine.)

(Quote) Huh? Ryzen and EPYC don't use Bulldozer, do they? Edit: Indeed they do not. I was remembering correctly, and Bulldozer is only used for the FX-* and Opteron series, the infamous space heaters. Not sure why Bulldozer is being named in t…

I haven't played with it much yet, but AFAIK, PostgreSQL's full-text search capabilities are a lot better (and probably more performant) than those of MySQL. Given that PostgreSQL is generally nicer to work with (and faster) than MySQL, b…

(Quote) This is so typically US... (Quote) That site is complete bullshit, FYI. "They are legally required to respond to your request within 30 days" is nonsense when the request is obviously frivolous, which is certainly the case for a s…

(Quote) AFAIK it is still the case that MySQL has better replication for a particular replication model than PostgreSQL; I forgot which model that was, though. (Quote) I strongly doubt that anyone who initially picked MongoDB, actually picked it be…

(Quote) In a sharded model, you can have redundancy by simply having >1 nodes responsible for the same record, and modifying your algorithm to produce >1 results. That seems to be more or less what MongoDB does, with its "each shard can b…
-
(Quote) Okay, so what that is really referring to, is that MongoDB uses sharding (basically, distributing records across multiple servers and using a deterministic algorithm to determine what server to ask for what record), which makes it "easy…
-
(Quote) That's a difficult question to answer, unless I know what impressions you've gotten of MongoDB, given how much different nonsense they've marketed over the years :) So yeah, in what way(s) does it seem to look better to you t…
-
(Quote) Here's the problem, though: "getting started with" something is something you only do once, whereas "keeping it going" is something you will be doing effectively forever. MongoDB makes it "easy to get started&qu…

(Quote) They're still European, just not EU :)

Avoid MongoDB. It's a mediocre database at best, and you're quite likely to end up with some form of data corruption over time, given that it doesn't validate data integrity like an RDBMS would. I've not kept track of MySQL/Mar…

(Quote) Which is appreciated :)

Well, this was inevitable. Unfortunately CVM is nowhere near done either, considering the lack of funding (-> time) over the years...

Huh, all the powerbanks I've used just detected power draw. SilverCrest (Lidl's own brand), Trust, and some no-brand thing from the local discount store (Action). I don't think I've ever seen one with an explicit power button? E…

This smells like panicking behaviour to me, not like a scammer's exit. I think he's just lost control and is trying to limit the damage. Running out of money and, like someone else mentioned, trying to be in debt to the least aggressive pa…

(Quote) Because Windows Defender was pretty crap in a distant past, and even though that hasn't been true for many years now, AV companies have used that as their marketing pitch to justify their existence ever since. There's literally no …

(Quote) Except as it turns out, your data gets sold and/or misused for things that you pay for as well because hey, it's free money. This is a structural problem in the software/IT industry, not something specific to free things at all. (Also,…

(Quote) Having spoken to a few people who research these sorts of bugs, they all seem to be of the opinion that while AMD isn't perfect, there are far, far less cut corners than with Intel, and so these sorts of bugs are much less likely.

Why is this thread in Reviews?

(Quote) Shrug, "cloud" has always been a buzzword with entirely different meanings to different people. I've certainly seen this one used before, and any kind of usage of the term "cloud" annoys me equally :)

(Quote) They basically mean hourly-paid dedicated servers with an API.

(Quote) Similar to what someone mentioned earlier about Discord: I don't use Telegram. If I need to use Telegram to get information about service issues with a provider, I would look for a different provider. It might be useful as an extra com…

Ghostery is operated by a marketing company. Wouldn't recommend using it. It doesn't really do much more than uBlock Origin with a tracking company list would do either. Plus a Pi-Hole for network-wide blocking (though it will block slight…

(Quote) For what it's worth, technically speaking you don't need to announce your VAT number publicly, it just needs to be known to all of your customers and suppliers. Which means that you can most likely comply with that rule by handing …
