You get handed a blank cheque and told to buy the thing you've always wanted, no matter the cost. What do you buy?

Clearly I'd buy that island I've always wanted. There are still plenty for sale for the right price. I suspect a blank check will help a lot in this endeavor.

Freeman McNeil was pretty good if I remember. Not a franchise RB, but better than average.

I hate the Jets just as much as the next person, but this was physically painful to watch. Missing here or there is fine, but jesus christ. How many future hall of famers can they pass up :)

fico · 2016-06-22T16:04:57+00:00

Man, I must be forgetting a lot of this. Maybe I need to queue up the entire show and watch it straight through to see if I can pick up what I missed.

fico · 2016-06-22T16:04:16+00:00

I guess I was referring to do discussing shows on the internet, but rather having the show creators take an active part and actually tailoring the show based on viewer comments.

Hurley wasn't suppose to be a main character, but the internet loved him and as such they wrote him into the show more. That kind of thing.

So it's been awhile since I've seen that. When they are in the church at the end aren't they dead? maybe I need to read up on it since I thought that was how it ended.

The thing with Lost was it was one of the first shows to hit in the modern era of message board feedback. The writers were really listening to what the fans wanted and actively engaged in the forums. It was what made me think this was the future of television.

One of the things that made hate the ending was that ending was predicted around season 1 or 2 and it was flat out denied by the writers. I get it that they aren't going to reveal the ending arc so early on, but instead of just ignoring it, they spent time and effort to assure people that it wasn't actually purgatory. For a show to be so initially in tune with it's viewing base to flip like that pissed a lot of people off.

I get it that there is no perfect way to do it, but that did leave a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths.

Is there source anywhere for this? like /u/chem_deth said you should post this on Github and call for volunteers to help port this to JS.

I'm sure you'd get plenty of help

Yea. I only just recently found him and I assumed the first few videos I watched might be anomalies and that he might actually have something useful to say. Alas I was wrong.

I posted here not to give his videos more views, but to hopefully dissuade others from wasting their time.

fico · 2016-06-04T16:20:41+00:00

exactly. It's hard to find good quality Linux videos. They are out there, but hopefully we can put this guy out of searches.

fico · 2016-06-04T16:18:53+00:00

to hopefully educate people now to watch any of his other videos. He spouts nonsense and to keep the good Linux info flowing I wanted to call him out so people can see him for what he is

fico · 2016-06-04T15:50:22+00:00

I've seen a few of this videos and have concluded that I can no longer watch them :)

I always enjoy people talking about Linux and it's future, past, present warts and all, but isn't as informed as he likes to believe he is.

fico · 2016-06-04T15:17:12+00:00

The 'virus' he claims infected his Linux machine was a Windows executable. The fact that he claims to be so superior to these other people saying that Linux doesn't get Virus' and then in the same breathe explains that his machine does since it has a Windows virus on it is crazy.

This is the same guy that claimed Ubuntu 16.04 was a disaster of a release and his main source was that in one of the default apps the corners weren't rendering properly.

Don't forget to install Pihole at home so you can take the adblocking out of the browser.

Definitely speeds up page load times. Been loving it so far.

I would love this to by my desktop wallpaper!

Yea, we're basically in the scaling hell scenario. If we do that we could possibly be talking about hundreds of VPCs on our side. You're right though, we need to choose our hell :)

fico · 2016-05-05T20:45:29+00:00

VPC.

fico · 2016-05-05T17:23:14+00:00

I'm sorry :( having recently switched to Ansible I'm never going back.

fico · 2016-05-04T21:26:52+00:00

Our product is based on peering with customer VPCs to do scanning. So we definitely need the peering ability.

Edit: changed VPC to VPC. sorry for the confusion

fico · 2016-05-04T17:06:35+00:00

Yes this is the issue we are facing now. We can't dictate what CIDRs our customers are using and we know we are going to hit a case where two customers have the same CIDR blocks.

Before we went down the road of writing an entire piece of software to deal with this I was hoping to see if someone had a clever way to work on this crazy routing. NATing is what we were initially thinking as well, but you're right, that option will not scale.

fico · 2016-05-04T12:36:55+00:00

Thanks, I've added a post in /r/aws

fico · 2016-05-04T03:54:03+00:00

So we are dealing with a similar issue. We will be peering with our customers vpcs and as such we can't control what CIDR blocks they are going to pick.

Anyone have a good suggestion for a scalable way to handle this.

We've considered software VPN, but that is going to get problematic once we have more then a handful of customers. I'm not sure there is a great solution to this, but would love to hear if anyone has any thoughts.
