Tue Oct 30 09:37:11 EDT 2018 Slept from ten-thirty to seven. Woke briefly around four. High of fifty-seven and partly cloudy today. Work: - VPN notes Done. https://github.com/gophish/gophish https://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/carp.html https://aws.amazon.com/route53/ > You can use Amazon Route 53 to configure DNS health checks to route traffic to healthy endpoints or to independently monitor the health of your application and its endpoints. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/dns-failover.html Route 53 has a REST API too (although it uses XML?!). Fifteen-minute walk at lunch. Cloudy. Heard a crow and a blue jay. Stopped for a few groceries at Meijer. Bought a kiwano (i.e., horned melon). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucumis_metuliferus Very alien morphology, with a mild, kiwi-like taste. Not bad. Red Hat released RHEL 7.6. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/7.6_release_notes/chap-red_hat_enterprise_linux-7.6_release_notes-overview - new default cryptographic algorithms for RSA and ECC - enhancements to nftables - enhancements to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Web Console (is that Cockpit?) - integration of the Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/9sjd4f/then_they_win/e8pfwn2/ > Also, Red Hat is a software company with no operational intellectual property (it's all open, therefore you can't patent troll), no physical assets (we don't own any of our buildings, so nothing to sell for cost cutting), and we give away the source code to all our software. IBM is basically aquiring the employee roster and the brand. If they were to alienate the culture or negatively impact the open development model, they'd effectively be flushing $34 Billion down the drain because the employee roster would leave en mass and the brand would degrade rapidly as a side effect. I'm reasonably confident they aren't making the largest software acquisition in history (to date) just to waste the money.
