  • I knew a Datacenter that had hundreds of ps3s for rendering fluid simulation and other such things that at the time were absolutely cutting edge tech. I believe F1 and some early 3d pixar stuff was rendered on those farms. But like all things, technology marched on. fpgpas and cuda have taken that space.

    Cell definitely was heavily used by specialist/nichr industry though.

    I wonder if I can find you some link to explain it better than the rumours I heard from staff that used to work in those datacentres.

    Hmm hard to find commercial applications, probably individuals might have blogged otherwise here’s what I’m talking about: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_cluster

    Ah you’re thinking I’m reading your other comments to other people.

    BTW HIPAA is for providers for their patients information handling. Once it’s in the person’s hands, it’s no longer under HIPPA and it no longer applies. If you decide to put your private medical information on a commercial advertisement board on a highway, and it’s not breaking laws to do with acceptable adcertisement (eg gore or smut) you’ll be able to do that to.

    Basically theres no expectation for a individual person to adhere to HIPPA for their own personal information storage and it doesn’t apply.

    My assumption with your lawyer comment, is this was a insurance or otherwise medical malpractice lawyer who might collect this information for their client cases, since without having client/patient requirements, HIPPA is irrelevant.

    The moment a lawyer saves their medical records in a way that unintentionally and without their consent uploads them to OneDrive, they have a pretty solid case to charge Microsoft for a HIPAA violation

    Are we talking about the same comment?





  • Tailscale can act as a site to site vpn, but it’s best used as a meshvpn imo with as many things as possible in it.

    Why? Because the dynamic dns is so powerful. Every host name automatically is in every other tailscale joined computer automatically. My NAS (Truenas in my case) is just “nas” so to access it it’s just https://nas. Same with my rustdesk server on https://rustdesk. Jellyfin? You guessed it: https://jellyfin.

    Why is this cool? I moved my box between other networks and it just works again. No ips changed.

    I take it to work. It just works. I keep one server at my parents place? It just works.

    But my printer doesn’t have the ability to join the tailnet so I use subnet routing to create a node on that network to act as a NAT router to get to and from that printer.

    You can even define exit nodes so if I install tailscale on my parents TV in another state, they can exit their internet via my home which has my IP and therefore Netflix counts it as inside my residence.

    Anyway just some considerations. I generally use the subnet routing as a last resort. My 3 node proxmox cluster is all joined and if I took a node to my parents it would literally just work, if slower, as a cluster member. Crazy. Very cool


  • The messaging around this so far doesn’t lead me to want to follow the fork on production. As a sysadmin I’m not rushing out to swap my reverse proxy.

    The problem is I’m speculating but it seems like the developer was only continuing to develop under condition that they continued control over the nginx decision making.

    So currently it looks like from a user of nginx, the cve registration is protecting me with open communication. From a security aspect, a security researcher probably needs that cve to count as a bug bounty.

    From the developers perspective, f5 broke the pact of decision control being with the developer. But for me, I would rather it be registered and I’m informed even if I know my configuration doesn’t use it.

    Again, assuming a lot here. But I agree with f5. That feature even beta could be in a dev or test environment. That’s enough reason to know.

    Edit:Long term, I don’t know where I’ll land. Personally I’d rather be with the developer, except I need to trust that the solution is open not in source, but in communication. It’s a weird situation.
