This interesting article popped up (dutch only, sorry) about Microsoft (and all non-eu) sovereign clouds, and what it boils down to: it’s a lie. If you as an EU individual, company, or worse, government, puts your data in any american owned (but the same applies to anything not EU) cloud, […]
Last week we where in Scotland to deal with family affairs, but we had the chance to spend two days in Edinburgh and just relax and be tourists. Absolutely lovely city, we missed being able to get tickets to go into the castle, but we had a couple of good […]
I no longer have access to FortiADC products, so I cannot guarantee this still works. I have however received patches, so it should work. Sometimes, things don’t work out the way you plan. I have wanted to contribute to opensource software for a long time, after all, I have been […]
