Defederation is an administrative solution, specifically for when the user-facing tools like muting and blocking aren't enough. It's the solution against instance admins that aren't capable or willing to moderate their users, or that are actively malicious.

So, what you're saying is, their current setup is working for you, and their new proposal for lower-orbit satellites isn't really necessary?

I hate Huffman as much as the next guy, but the $193 million factoid is misleading clickbait nonsense. His actual salary is apparently $400k, the rest is "stock value" or whatever. Reddit is not giving 25% of its yearly revenue to the CEO.

rsync, for sure. That's what I used when I had to migrate a 10TB datastore to a new machins.

There was another article I read that had a snippet from F5. As I read it, their concern was that they have two release tracks: the paid/subscription track, and the free track. They are actually the same code, but the free track is just 2 releases behind, so the idea is that if you want the "latest and greatest" stuff, you gotta pay. It's a fairly common strategy in the industry.

So, the concern is that for security vulnerabilities that are not CVEs, info about the vulnerability (and how to exploit it) is out in the wild for two whole releases, before the patch reaches the free-tier users.

Seems like an actively good position on F5's part, from this angle.

Me, I'm noticing the distinct lack of any information on cost or cost-effectiveness.

A DNS Proxy/Forwarder server? That's where you would configure how your .internal domain resolves to IPs on your internal network. Machines inside the network make their DNS queries to that server, which either serves them from cache, or from the local mappings, for forwards them off to a public/ISP server.

Stating outright that you don't expect the obvious thing that always happens to happen... bro you're already giving shareholders a reason to say you're an incompetent manager and replace you with someone that will gut the company for stock growth.

or the equipment os designed horribly

I find this entirely believable. There's a LOT of equipment out there designed for profit over user experience.

But you're right, it's not really worth speculating over.

I mean, yeah, they could do exactly that. "We cater to the needs of creative professionals and personal users that need a streamlined user experience" or some other execu-speak. Who are they gonna alienate, all those gamers that are already not buying macs for gaming?

"The first real open world."

That's a rather hyperbolic statement, even if they're not just over-hyping.
