Ask HN: How do I get my data back from an abandoned web host?
This is like watching the Titanic sink. The host that I use for some personal projects, RapidTechHosting.com, has apparently been abandoned.

The Cpanel License has not been paid, so there is no access that way. Terminal won't work.

I get regular overdue notices for payment but it won't accept the payments through PayPal. At some point soon, it will lock me out for non-payment, then after that, delete everything.

I can still FTP but I'd like to grab the databases. Any suggestions?
Search ads, for instance in the App Store.

Again, nobody spends all day searching the App store. Apple's business model is not driven by your engagement. They make vastly more money when you make discreet choices, like buying a device, purchasing a subscription, etc.
The point is not to rely on discipline for too long. Automate, automate, automate! Here is a short analogy: https://www.reddit.com/r/DecidingToBeBetter/comments/bg5g10/...

Not only is this completely wrong from a legal and business standpoint, why would we even need this as a society?
Again, that looks like it needs to be sitting somewhere between the end user and the webserver.

I don't disagree that it is possible to mess with http traffic in flight if it's not encrypted. I do disagree that a) there are bad guys between me and the http://catpictures.com right now and b) They have targeted me with malicious cat pictures that will cause damage somehow.

My sites that allow logins are all https only. My "cat picture" site is not. Because it doesn't need https.
I think I have seen this show before, again its about DATA and perpetual retention of data in a multi-billion dollar drug discovery business. "Internal Research Purposes"

Each Party shall have a nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license to use the other Party’s Data for Internal Research Purposes. “Internal Research Purposes” shall mean any research and development by employees, students, contractors, consultants, or other representatives of either Party. Neither Party shall sell, lease, or license the other Party’s Data. Neither Party shall share the other Party’s Data with any third party, except: (a) as permitted in Sections 5.4 and 6, (b) as required for the performance of the Project, or (c) with written permission of the other Party.

Less time on your phone could equal less app purchases, less revenue for app developers, less loyalty to the eco-system. If everyone truly cut screen time down just 10% less a week, Apple would feel it through the app developers pain.
> The kid's right to wander into crazy elsagate videos and have covert online conversations with predators unsupervised is more important than the parent's right to protect their kid, and Apple is justified in ripping the monitoring capability out of parents' hands? Is that what you're saying?

No one is saying that. Just like privacy laws don’t exist to protect encrypted hard drives full of pedophilia. The right to privacy does NOT enable or endorse deviancy or illicit behavior! At all! Privacy is a human right, not an adult right.

Kids do deserve to have an assumption that when they are texting with their friends that their parents aren’t watching them. Especially teenagers. What about the young boy in a conservative Christian family who is struggling with his sexual identity? What about the young girl who is trying to learn how to report her abusive family members? These are the reasons why children’s privacy are important. Young people need their own secure places to express themselves and form an identity — that doesn’t happen, thankfully, under parental supervision.

That said, of course it’s a parent’s job to protect their children. But spying on a personal device like a cell phone is oppressive and paranoid.

I imagine that the limit on the .NET CLR is even lower because there needs to be runtime support for type parameters all the way down to the JIT.
Yes and no--patents create a time-limited monopoly that turns the drug into commodity once the patent expires. So it's not necessarily "fair" to have a monopsony driving down prices during the patent period. Medical technology doesn't advance so fast that a 20-year patent term is all that unreasonable. If the FDA process for generics worked better, we'd have an ample supply of generics for anything that was state-of-the-art in 1999. Also note that while drug companies are profitable, they're on the same order of profitability as companies like Google and Apple. So even during the "monopoly" period, we're not talking about profits that are out of line with other industries that require similar capital- and talent-intensive R&D.

But now, we're deep into talking about trade-offs--exactly the thing journalists don't want you to talk about.
Good points, I also agree with your note, "What I don't understand is why we aren't engaging with complexity more openly and directly. The limitations and challenges imposed by constantly increasing complexity loom before us and are manifested in the global economic, ecological, and political problems we're seeing."

What would push complexity research forward? In my view, a greater concentration of empirical works would give this field more attention.

There's a useful YouTube channel by the Santa Fe Institute that broadcasts research in this field. Last month, there was a good presentation by Srividya Iyer-Biswas.

Based on the Santa Fe Institute's channel: "Iyer-Biswas and her team have reported predictive scaling laws governing the stochastic growth and division of cells, and have developed a theory that reveals the emergence of a scalable, cellular unit of time. Her current work involves extending these results to thermodynamics of organismal computation, time-dependent phenomena involving cellular decision-making, and laws that dictate complex biological and social phenomena."

In 2009, I brought the idea of using github up on the members@ list and was called a troll. Agreed, at the time, the message was trolling...

https://imgur.com/a/JPQtCQ4

I brought it up again later in 2010 and 2011 on the members@ list too. Lots of discussion with the general consensus that it wouldn't happen because it isn't an 'open' platform.

I even wrote a blog post about it in 2011, which was also discussed on members@ and in the blog comments...

Even though it took 10 years, I'm glad to see it finally happen.
The last few paragraphs discuss file format conversion. Unfortunately, many companies have weaponized data representation as a way to force customer lock-in. What should have been simple data has been muddied in a way that prevents users from switching to other applications. The only real answer is to do what many people do: keep old machines running the software necessary to open the old data.

Lots of other services had two of those three channels. So they're going from that $200/mo through Charter to a $65 Charter internet-only package, $40 for Sling, and a $40 Roku Express+.

> How do you know that the higher drug prices in the US lead to more research instead of making executives and shareholders richer? You seem to imply that.

Because I have an iPhone. It's made executives and shareholders at Apple quite rich. It's also, I'm confident, advanced the state-of-the-art far faster than if Apple had been a government-regulated utility of sorts, limited to a "fair" 10% profit margin.

If people were talking about the government exercising monopsony power to drive down the price of iPhones, I'd (a) except Apple to protest vigorously; and (b) worry about the impact on smartphone innovation. Drugs are no different. The fact that drugs are important to society doesn't change the basic mechanics of a capital- and talent-intensive industry.
Stop Decompiling My Java
True that! I remember that a couple of years ago Amazon and Netflix had a great overlap in the center, Netflix added at the show end of the spectrum while Amazon did the same with movies. Then it drifted away but you still could get most content by just the two with the monthly subscriptions.

And now some content isn't there at all, some is buy-only and some is rental. Factor in that everything Disney will be gone soon that sucks. Streaming got me away from "alternative" sources, if they continue like that might just return

Can you give a reason for not using https in the age of LetsEncrypt?

And yes, the point of MITM is that there has to be a malicious actor in the middle. This is mainly a threat when using public WiFi, like at an airport or a coffee shop. It's absolutely trivial for some bored individual to run SSLstrip for funsies and distribute malware through any HTTP connections.

Also, an attacker doesn't need to somehow create malware-infested versions of the cat pictures on your site. They only need to append some javascript at the end of your site's body tag, which again, is trivial for a script to do. And maybe a transparent image with the malicious payload should they have JS disabled.

To those wondering how they might protect themselves from these sorts of attacks when using non-SSL sites on public WiFi, this is where a VPN comes in handy. All of your connections will be encrypted and no longer vulnerable to MITM attacks.

I have been really enjoying the blockdiag(3) diagramming packages. I use rackdiag to generate server rack diagrams. seqdiag for diagnosing issues or for flowcharting, and am working on an automated mapper that uses netdiag to generate network maps.

Those of you looking for programmatic diagram generation, I'd you aren't talking math heavy, try it out. I'd you want math diagram generation, I think that might generally be best done with r/octave/d3 inside an emacs org file or jupyter notebook.
Atomic Pi Brings Intel to Single-Board Computers
For those who don't read the thread: the original poster attempts to assert that the OFL is not being followed correctly because US government employees cannot copyright (in the United States, that is--they need not be elsewhere, which is something often forgotten) governmental work.

My non-lawyery, albeit experienced with IP management and the open-source licensing rabbit hole, assessment is that that makes very little sense. The OFL states that derivative works must be under the OFL--they cannot be released under "any other license"--but assignment to the public domain isn't a license, while from a permissive perspective the OFL is a subset of the permissions granted via public domain. Public Sans is a derivative of Libre Franklin, which is licensed under the OFL; derivatives likewise are necessarily OFL even if changes made by US government employees are public domain.

I seem to recall from other libre font discussions that @mbutterick (the OP) has something of an axe to grind about libre fonts in general, though I don't recall specifics.

I think the issue isn't so much about quantity of television, but if being able to participate in the social zeitgeist that motivates people. Almost everyone has social groups at work or elsewhere that discuss sports, GoT, whatever reality TV show. By you still can't purchase just the 3-4 things everyone is talking about right now, so you wind up with Netflix, Hulu, GoT, maybe CBS all access, etc.
Most cable TV now includes a fairly wide selection of on demand content.

Question (for any more knowledgable readers here) from someone with a somewhat shallow understanding of the topics discussed:

Does this end up being primarily a negative reflection on the general structure of:

(a) Rust

(b) wl-roots

(c) Wayland

(d) all three

(e) none of the above, it's merely the incidental reality of trying to write code that's compatible/usable across multiple language ecosystems and none of the 3 projects can do much to improve this situation.

Chrome exploit uses a fake address bar for phishing attacks
I've had the same struggle forever, but I finally feel like I've found a pattern that works for me: Find enjoyment in the daily struggle.

For exercise: I've found riding a bicycle to work to be my least hated form of exercise. I force myself to start every Monday riding to work. If I don't ride on Monday, the rest of the week is shot. When I do ride, I try to make it as enjoyable as possible. If I'm feeling unmotivated, I'll glide to work without breathing heavy at all. I just have to lower the bar so much that I'll at least do it. Often, I get motivated half way to work and pedal harder anyway.

For side projects: I've been tying this in with other habits. I get up at 5 every morning and drink coffee, read for a bit, and make at least 1 small contribution to a side project. Maybe it's a meaningless refactor or fixing a typo. At least I see the green activity in Github and continue building a habit of at least looking at and thinking about the projects I'm working on. The end result is that some weeks are vastly productive while others hardly mean anything.

What I've noticed is that motivation and productivity are a cycle and when I enjoy my daily habits enough (with no particular outcome in mind), I stick with things long enough to see compounding results.

TLDR;

Focusing on outcomes makes you aware of how you're not meeting them -> Demotivation

Building daily habits with vague goals and enjoying the ride -> Compounding results and satisfaction in hindsight

PhotoStructure can read iPhoto libraries (and LR XMPs), and will coalesce both "sidecar" dupes (like JPG/RAW pairs), as well as images that were downsampled from other photo services (like Google Photos). It can leave your originals where they are, or copy them into a single time-stamped folder hierarchy (yes, you can edit the format of the timestamp if you don't like the LR standard). Files with the same SHA are not copied, but referenced in your library db.

Your library's metadata is kept both on disk (in XMP sidecars) as well as a sqlite db for fast access, and you can run queries on the db to do anything more exotic.

A gridded street system is also quite useful for inhabitants/businesses that want to go to an address without a map (or even with one). You can easliy go to a place you have never been to before.

If the accused says "it was fully consensual and I have messages on my phone that prove it" then yes, they would hand over their phone. This is the context in which the victim's phone would be searched.

If the complainant said the phone was used during the rape to record the act then the phone would be seized as evidence.

> I'm also assuming that there is an implicit accusation of false accusation by the originally accused.

This is the difficult balancing act the police have to do: they have to treat complainants with respect and robustly investigate the alleged crime, but they have to hold open the (small) possibility that it didn't happen like the complainant says.

Thank you for your reply. This is what angers me the most. They drug companies have a solution. Keep buying insulin, keep buying needles, keep buying new pods, sensors, and apps. No, this can be fixed, it can be better.
I agree with you, but I can't help but think of the case of the Wu Tang album they sold to Martin Shkreli. Part of the terms of sale was that it couldn't be copied. I do believe a company shouldn't be able to hold a piece of culture hostage. I also believe in a creator's right to decide how their work is consumed. I'm not sure how to reconcile these two things.

A great place to start is Dave Snowden's Cynefin sense-making framework [1][2]. Study it and embed it into your core thinking, it can underpin how you approach almost every problem you come across in life. I was fortunate enough to attend a masterclass with Dave Snowden and Simon Wardley (Wardley maps, another thing worth understanding and practising related to strategy, he's published the whole thing for free on Medium [3]). What was fascinating and part of the result of the 2 day class is that Simon Wardley had been using a Cynefin like model in his head whilst making decisions and when he came up with his mapping method, additionally they had both been inspired by Max Boisot [4].

A core problem in this case is wlroots using a memory management paradigm that isn't easily modeled in Rust. This isn't unexpected per se, since C leaves MM entirely to the developer, while Rust is opinionated.
