Umh, using a very relaxed definition maybe...

I was very happy to see this feature added in 9.9.8, and I can certainly
agree that it is security related.  But I hardly think it is suitable
for the strict "no new features" policy that many stable distros
enforce:

Yes, I know they could still upgrade to 9.9.8 without this particular
feature, by simply not enabling it in the build.  But the restricted
feature set policy tends to be applied on a source level.

Playing the devil's advocate here... As I said, I was really happy to see
this feature in 9.9.8 myself.

Dyn Internet Intelligence (Formerly, Renesys) vs Telegeography's Global Bandwidth Research Service

2015-11-17 Thread Arqam Gadit
Hello guys,

Does anyone here have any experience with Dyn's Internet Intelligence or
Telegeography's Global Bandwidth Research Service?

I am looking to use them to answer two questions:

1. Which is best possible path available, given the current internet
infrastructure, from point A to B in terms of latency and jitter?

2. Which careers should I talk to get those paths?

Just wanted to know if anyone here has any experience with them or if there
are some other tools that I should be looking into before making the
purchase.

Regards,

Arqam

Which won't work as long as a vendor in another country is willing
to accept your credit card.  But actual reality rarely matters to
those who feel They Must Be Seen Doing Something About It.

A push to forbid the sale of Raspberry Pis, of VPNs, or of both?

Where?

Thanks!

I haven't used Veeam Cloud Connect but I have used Veeam. I was pretty
happy with it. Easy and fast to configure.

No, a push on devices which allow access to "illegal" material. The
devives might have raspberry pies or similar stuff under the hood wjicj
where very likely implementing VPNs.

Last time I saw this was in the Dutch media; the c9omplains came from the
Dutch versions of the copyright lobby.
