You will sometimes hear someone say, in a loose conceptual sense, that credit cards have money in them. Of course we know that that isn't the case; our modern plastic card payment network relies on online transactions where the balance tracking and authorization decisions happen...

Did you have a good break? Have you had a chance to breathe? Wake up. It’s 2025, and the chaos continues. Haha, see what we did? We wrote the exact same thing in 2024 because 2024 was exactly the same. As an industry, we are on GroundHog day

As an American, I often feel an intense jealousy of Ceefax, one of several commercially successful teletext services in the UK and Europe. "Teletext" is sometimes a confusing term because of its apparent relation to telecom-industry technologies like the teletypewriter and...

WP Engine has filed hundreds pages of legal documents seeking an injunction against me and Automattic. They say this is about community or some nonsense, but if you look at the core, what they’re trying to do is ask a judge to curtail my First Amendment rights. The First...

Why filtering DHCP traffic is not always possible with iptables

When configuring my new firewall using iptables, I noticed something very peculiar. Even if all input, forward and output traffic was dropped, DHCP traffic to and from my DHCP server was not blocked even if there were no rules permitting this traffic. I even flushed all rules,...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
