Winty posted:as someone who doesn't know a lot about network stuff i'm curious if there is a known good way to mitigate that BGP paradox when you have a large area of network space. hard connections to important servers? guessing it's not a problem that comes up often I'm not a BGP expert. But if you want to manage a lot of complex connections without error, you need to let computers analyze the network and create the BGP advertisements themselves. Hard coding anything leaves room for mistakes, including conflicting advertisements or incorrect advertisements because someone forgot a manual step somewhere (such as making sure a manually inserted rule is relevant). So what's the next best thing? Getting people to sign off on manual changes or important automatic changes. Write tools that can help detect bad changes. Maybe other procedural controls. But they all pale in comparison to a good disaster plan that actually gets put into practice more often than once in a blue moon. Microsoft once forgot to renew the registration for hotmail.com. Countless services forgot to renew SSL certificates. Evidence of fallen DNS servers manifest in myriad ways. OVH burned half of an entire data center. Domestic terrorists attempted to destroy an AWS AZ. Lightning storms damaged an Azure data center. Disaster prevention is good, but disaster recovery is a must.

Like, if all your programs ran fine on turbo then you could leave it on. But if your program was old enough then you needed to turn it off when running them.

I'm using a superdisk and it's awesome how the labels advertise it as 120MB and it's actual 1048576 bytes worth of MB, not this modern dumbass 1 million bytes per MB. Also, I miss having memory devices with nice read-only tabs. Sure, SD cards still have them, and you could occasionally find a usb disk with it, but old school floppies would have a satisfying click. You KNEW that tab wasn't going to move and you could turn the system off at any time and not screw up the fs.

defmacro posted:ah yess tyvm Although, with a modern lens, the whole series feels like exploitative tiki and pirate kitsch, it's still a pretty good classic. But I hope this is a totally new story with entirely new characters but familiar themes and settings. Having the IP owned by disney may not change much. I played the first and second monkey islands, and the Tales game (about 80%), and the writers were still able to keep it PG while being entertaining.

mystes posted:The cool floppies just had little stickers OP You're right, the big rear end 5.25" or older ones had stickers. I was referring to the 3.5" ones, which more closely resembled the superdrive disks.

I remember playing ultima 4 on the apple II and constantly having to flip or switch disks. Never thought I would reminisce about those halcyon days of trying to find out why I couldn't get the shepherd to join my party (she doesn't join if you're a shepherd yourself)

I'm still amazed that the dreamcast was bold enough to include an f'in modem as standard with their consoles, and you could replace it with an ethernet adapter. And you could get vga output. So crisp! linux on dreamcast was interesting but slow as heck because everything had to be pulled from the cd. Ran glxgears pretty well though.

ps2 had dvd, which was the killer app, and coasted on the popularity of the playstation. Dreamcast had a couple amazing hits like jet grind radio, pso, and skies of arcadia, but having a real dvd player really killed the market for a dreamcast.

also, if you played on a burned disc, you probably had poo poo seek times so it's worth getting the real game

Never forget that the little beep you hear on a dreamcast controller is not for letting you know that the VMU is turning on. It's to tell you that the VMU has no batteries. Also, the VMU was a gimmick that never had quite enough traction to be seriously useful besides things like selecting plays in football in secret. I remember putting a battery into it to try out the tamagotchi aspect of sonic adventure and realized very quickly that it was a waste of time. I still don't know anyone that actually enjoyed raising chao.
