It looks like a complete rip-off. Both the design of the website and the book cover.

No thanks, I have all the files I need right here in /dev/urandom.

They are still on the front page, but here you go:

Did... did the AI in the video just do the Duolingo learning?

It's like a reverse get out of jail free card.

Do the other party have evidence against you? Declare classified documents and they go to jail instead of you.

But if you pile the classified documents up in their bathroom, they’ll be fine.

How else are you going to justify the ridiculous membership fee, if not with the lending library of national secrets? Rules for thee and not for me and all that.

Same for me. Slackware (I guess 4.0) and E16 was my first proper Linux installation. Learned so much during that time.

Same for me. He definitely contributed to my fondness and wonder of Linux back then.

I remember playing GTA I with a 3DFX card. Man that was smooth. When I later played at a friends house, I was disappointed about how choppy it was.

I hope so. The other books have been great fun to read, with the detour of CP-SYSTEM as a nice surprise.

> Without DNS, you'd need to memorize IP addresses for every website.

This used to be true until virtual hosting came along, allowing for several domains to point to the same IP address, but only for non-HTTPS traffic. Then a bit later we got SNI (Server Name Indication) that did the same thing for HTTPS.

I remember having web servers with 10-12 public IP adresses when I started working. The number of IPv4 addresses needed has been greatly reduced since.

You'd still need to memorize the IP address without DNS, otherwise how would you know to which server to connect?

The fact that a server can serve multiple vhosts and do TLS cert selection via SNI is not related to the lookup of what server to connect to.

You'd still need to send a Host header for the website you want and you can't do that in the address bar.

Just connect to cloudflare /s

Thanks a lot!
