There are some blog posts in the README that go into how I built a lot of it. A lot of it is specialized for me though. I have a ton of rspec/tests but I don't have a real config schema or entirely useful error messages. I might add some in the future.

Looking at the list in this, I'd advice against nextCloud(ownCloud). I recently setup their official Docker containers and the web piece works alright, but their F-droid app continually crashes and I had to uninstall it and the nextcloud-client in Gentoo's package manager segfaults at home and refused to build at work.

I've read other stories of data loss with nextcloud. It might be better now but my initial experiences made me use syncthing. Syncthing does use relays if you're behind a NAT, but if you have openvpn setup, you can also force it to use a direct IP address as well.

If you're thinking if self hosting and have the time, I'd suggest building it yourself; borrowing (and properly accrediting/licensing) other open source projects, their ansible scripts and containers and such. You learn a whole lot about why this tooling is so complex.
I don't wish that the developer to get run over by a bus, but I also don't buy that the line developer shouldn't be held accountable if they know that what they were doing is wrong. I don't care what your job is, we all must be good humans and have ethics and standards and say no if what we have been told to do is wrong even if it means losing our job. It would of course be terrible, but in the long run, the world would be better off.
What you're asking for already exists. The certbot package already takes care of that [1]. No need to develop anything extra for nginx.

I'm all for stronger traffic enforcement as much as the next concerned citizen, but honestly things like surveillance/speed/red light cameras don't actually make anyone safer. If you google "Red Light Cameras Safety" You'll see plenty of articles like this one that state plenty of reasons why these cameras don't help as much as initially thought.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/red-light-cameras...

Instead, it would probably be much more effective to fine people for these transgressions as a percentage of their income. A $500 speeding ticket or a $100 parking ticket isn't really going to bother a person driving a $140,000 Tesla as much as its going to bother someone who is driving a $1500 Toyota Camery. We can probably actually continue to have the police selectively enforcing like they do now, but if people actually fear the consequences of breaking boneheaded traffic laws because they'll have to pay $15000 for a speeding ticket, then they'll be a lot less likely to break those laws.
That is half true; all the raw materials for all if those things come from outside the cities.

Again, I'm not saying cities aren't important, only replying to a comment asking for justification for rural living.
But I'd have thought if you care that Docker isn't installed on your servers, you're probably not running this anyway?

It seems to me that the target demographic is people that just want the least effort minimal faff way of getting some services up and running for personal non-production use. And for that it was my suggestion that many of the services probably already provide a Dockerfile upstream, so the easiest thing to do would be to install docker-compose, list the images, and `up`.

The noise pollution thing is huge. Private car owners love their god damned horns. Beep beep. Like children. Drives me fuckin crazy. I'm at the corner of 2nd and Howard. Easily 5% of my day is spent daydreaming about ways to get those cars to shut the fuck up. Paintballs, HERF gun, signs.

It carries over a thousand rounds which is 5x-10x what most planes carry; Plenty to mission kill a lot more more than a few ground targets (granted that depends on what is being targeted, but they are not going up against many T-70s at the moment.)

Maybe we have different defnitions on "not much ammo" ?
Does "vehicular deaths" include deaths caused by air pollution? I think I've read that cars cause more deaths through air pollution than through collisions.
This looks super cool.

This is probably commendable, but for me personally, cars, or state of pavement, are not the biggest problems to enjoying Market street.

The throughput per satellite is not fixed. The constellation is designed to be refreshed and upgraded (more beams, more phased array elements, better back-end) about every 4-5 years. Geosynchronous satellites can have up to 1 terabit per satellite (and increasing). The size of the constellation may eventually be up to 40,000 satellites, many at an even lower altitude which increases gain in each direction. So on the order of 40Petabit/s throughput is doable in the medium-term.

And of course, people don't use 100MB/s constantly. The ratio is not uncommonly 1:100 in max vs average throughput, and this ratio is higher the greater the max bandwidth (average used throughput increases sub-linearly with max throughput). So say about 1Mbps average per user with 40Pbps constellation-wide, and you're looking at on the order of billions of connections possible at the largest scale.

Still about 12Pbps possible at 12000 satellites. Enough for billions of connections still.

Even at 20Gbps and 12,000 satellites and 1Mbps average usage per connection, that's still on the order of a hundred million connections.

More likely, they'll have fewer-than-billions of connections with more available average bandwidth than 1Mbps. But it definitely is a gamechanger in rural internet capability.

Indeed:) Ansible will happily interface with pretty much anything; consider that it officially supports Swarm (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/docker_swarm...), k8s (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/k8s_module.h...), and puppet (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/puppet_modul...) for example:) It makes excellent glue if used with other things, or a good tool all on its own. Which is especially nice because it lets you try new things without changing your overall setup too much; you can deploy all your services with RPMs, and then move one thing into docker, and still use ansible for everything:)

I'm a huge fan of CAPA (corrective and preventive action) which is like a mini-version of root cause analysis and planning. One of the things that I struggled with when I was younger was if there was a problem, a lot engineers have different ideas on the root cause but getting the data is usually too time consuming. But asking the 5 why's really help you focus on the highest probable root cause.
Haha I think that's the point of OP's post IMO, and people were even discussing this dichotomy in that thread as well.

Total gold, nothing in this world is clean or definitive.
I think that's very much true in terms of engineering CAD/CAM. As far as I know (and I check back fairly often), none of the major CAD packages in Solidworks, Autodesk Inventor, CATIA or Creo work on Linux. The only local Linux CAD project I know of (if you exclude some of the browser-based ones) that's remotely comparable in terms of general 3D parametric design is the open-source FreeCAD, which has come a long way, but doesn't even support things like ordinate dimensions in drawings or have an official governing body for development.

I been at companies with plenty of developers running Linux on their primary machine, but have never seen that be the case for someone doing engineering 3D design. Obviously that's just my anecdotal experience, but it seems to line up well with what I know about the situation across the industry as well.

It seems like a bit of a shame- with some of the RISC-V chips coming out, and tools like KiCad, one could conceivably put together an entire hardware development toolchain from low/no-cost open-source components, but the tooling around mechanical build processes more or less requires buying seat licenses for it at the moment.

Lockheed Martin is hundreds of billions of dollars over the original budget and has continuously delivered a POS plane in exchange. If that's not deserving of a hit piece, I don't know what is.
Termux is just a linux container, it has OpenSSH, and tmux. Yes I agree that a full linux workstation is better then an android phone, but sometimes I like to go out with friends and family and I might still be on call for work, and I really dont want to have to carry around a bulky laptop. Termux is just an extremely nice thing to have on an android phone and there is no legit officially sanctioned method of doing these things on iPad other then iSH which isnt even fully in the app store yet, its only on testflight.
To clarify, Insync is a client used in place of Backup and Sync / Drive File Stream?

Do you have a Linux CLI client? I have a headless Ubuntu server at home that I sync personal files on. Currently using Dropbox but in the process of switching to Google Drive (both a personal and business account) and it seems like there's no good CLI only client for Linux.
I'm 100% sure you're wrong about this.

For example, Marvis Pro exists. Heck, multiple web interfaces to Apple Music exist!
In that case it wouldn't be safe to use the app on a private network either.
Tell HN: Mailgun lowers free-tier API from 10k to 625 emails per month
Email:

Hi there,

Mailgun is adjusting our plans and pricing to more accurately reflect the value users get from the service and to make room for some great new deliverability features we just released.

Throughout 2019, we were hard at work adding and improving our email capabilities and optimizing our support to help your business grow. While many of these updates were made behind the scenes, the truth is that Mailgun can do a lot more than it could two years ago when we last updated our plans.

What does this mean for you?
On March 1, 2020, we will automatically transition your account to the new Flex plan, a pay-as-you-go plan comparable to the Concept plan you’re currently on. You’ll receive your first invoice under the new plan on April 1 if your amount due is greater than $0.50. According to your usage last month, your invoice under the new price per message of $0.0008 would have been $0 for December. It’s a modest change, but we wanted to be transparent about it.

What’s changing with the Flex plan?
Flex offers you the same pay-per-use model you were used to on the Concept plan. The main differences are that we are no longer offering 10,000 free emails or 100 free validations per month, and our support options now include limited ticket support as well as enhanced self-service Q&As so you can find answers faster. Additionally, while your existing routes will still be functional, new routes will not be supported on this plan.

What other options do I have?
We have several other plans available with additional features and service levels, including a new subscription plan called Foundation that starts at $35 per month. This plan provides access to new deliverability tools like Inbox Placement so you can effortlessly increase your deliverability and email ROI.

Looking for validations, inbound routing, or more support? Foundation is a great starter plan. If this is something you’re interested in, check out your plan options.
I think this project is a great idea but I think it's overly ambitious to be reasonably feasible in a near-term timeframe as it's basically talking about re-implementing 20+ years and thousands of man-hours put into BEAM dev into the browser.

It's also competing time-wise with simply "compiling Erlang itself to emscripten/WASM", since computing capability will still scale over time in speed and bandwidth and memory capacity to the point that simply "being able to get ALL of Elixir in the browser" will outvalue "being able to run some subset of Elixir in a single-threaded context only in the browser" (assuming performance is not an order of magnitude different).

I was just reading another HN article discussing the fact that OLAP is going away simply because computers have gotten enough memory and databases have gotten fast enough at querying columnar data stores that it's no longer necessary to add the "optimization complexity" of OLAP to get reasonable data analysis performance.

AMD has the Ryzen Threadripper now, 32 cores with 64 threads... If CPU development continues in that direction, this will be a BIG win for Elixir but only if it can take advantage of more than one thread.

That all said, I'm sure a naïve recompilation of Erlang BEAM to emscripten/WASM might not automatically take advantage of those threads properly out-of-the-box due to the abstraction layer, so there'd also have to be some work there to massage the scheduler to use "real" threads "on the metal".
Very true - I don't think I was told anything factually false, and that's hugely to the founders' credit. It's the distinction between caveat emptor and fraud, I suppose, and since some friends had gotten suckered by similar offers I knew what to beware.

Perhaps this story fits better under the other thread here of legitimate arrangements with scam-like effects on their partners. The pitch I got reminded me more of a doomed restaurant than an MLM: the founders seemed sincere about the merits of their idea at least (they demanded an [now-expired] NDA, even!), and I really don't know if their optimism about the company's prospects and the job's quality was faked. They knew something was wrong well enough to bury the problems, but an outright work-for-free scam would probably have been pitched more smoothly, maybe as a "take-home interview assignment". As is, they might well have followed through on the promises if they had somehow gotten their millions. They didn't exactly have my best interests at heart, but like many people overselling failing projects, I think they were aiming at a wildly unlikely success rather than pushing a strictly negative deal.

One major thing I'm liking about rust, besides it's "regular" pros is that it's fiercely crossplatform , hence pretty much a faster java. It also has a lot of competing nascent gui frameworks.

People have written iOS android xplat games on rust too.

I only wished rust compiled to JS,a la scala f# et al. Not asm.js but full blown with inter-op and everything and as a publicized feature.

Probably because it's off topic for the thread, which is about the restrictions on private cars on market Street specifically and transit strategies in general, not a pile-on for SF criticism.

The money was allocated for transportation improvement. It would be illegal to spend it otherwise.

Lots of money is being spent on the homelessness crisis. Shelters are being built. It's being worked on.
Kessler can be mitigated by a civilization capable of launching enough mass. Pretty much all you need is to cancel out the angular momentum of existing debris. It would just cost a lot. However right now with our regulatory environment Kessler is not likely. Starlink is very low orbit and they decay without power in a matter of months if not weeks. Also every satellite launched is required to have a deorbit plan or a plan to move it to a parking orbit if it's a geostationary satellite.
Yes, but not proportionately since an access to capital would be an additional cost. Eg. Imagine 2 situations when you can earn $100 by investment:

1. Buy sth for $100 end sell for $200

2. Buy for $1mln end sell for $1 000 100

Option 1. seems much more accessible.
It's a dark pattern because it was placed there at the behest of pharmaceutical company that paid for it to be placed there because it would benefit their sales, and not because it would be good for the patient. So it doesn't really matter how it was implemented, it's unethical from the start. The only variable is to what degree.
Great job, looks really nice.

I have one suggestion. The colours are not colourblind-friendly. I suggest a colour palette picker (based on types of colour deficiency issues) or an ability to toggle subtle gradients.
> Like I said, love ubuntu server, but I can't understand why Ubuntu desktop is recommended.

Have you been using linux on the desktop for any period of time, mon ami? It shouldn't be a surprise why it is so popular. For a long time "it just worked" out of the box.

I've run debian, gentoo, arch, centos, freebsd for a minute, and linux mint -- mint being an ubuntu derivitive -- and only fedora and ubuntu played nicely out of the box. And of those two, only ubuntu made ndiswrapper and wifi drivers function adequately without handholding (though fedora 20 and newer are great).

If anything, I'm surprised ubuntu server is a thing. For the server I'd just slap on debian or centos and be done with it.
Completely agreed. The difference is certianly palpable.

I don't think that SF is better than NYC for the homeless.

A big difference between SF and NYC is that NYC provides shelter for people that can't afford housing and SF does not. Only 5% of homeless people in NYC are unsheltered compared with 67% in the Bay Area.

Legally, NYC is required to provide shelters for anyone who needs it, while SF shelters have waitlists of over a month.

Those "beat cops" are most certainly not doing traffic enforcement. At best you'll see a handful of parking citations.

I have a pet theory that they don't bother controlling bad drivers, simply because there's nowhere to pull them over; stop anyone in the middle of the street and you've created an instant traffic jam. But really our mayor and DA set the agenda and they think traffic is just dandy.

[edit] A prominent NYC cycling blogger made a similar point just a minute ago. In the wake of news that NYC issues more traffic violations to cyclists (responsible for two deaths last year) than truck drivers (400+), he said, "I suspect NYPD ticketing stats are a meaningful measure of only one thing: how easy it is to stop the vehicle."
This is great. How many people have solved similar problems to this and not written anything down? How often are the same problems solved, over and over again? You did a great service and I hope it catches on.

I'm just wondering, will the people who would benefit the most from your guide actually find it?

Not sewer related, but an underground coal seam that was ignited and threatened the entire town. The town (Centralia, PA) was bought out, and the Interstate Route was shifted (if you’re in the area, stop by; I’ve walked the old Interstate at night and it was an experience).

Considering its primary function is to launch targeted explosives or paint targets for other weapons platforms, without being targeted itself, the vestigal gun being inaccurate seems like a small problem.
The Su-57 has a supposed ~$35-$45 million unit cost (versus closer to $78m for eg the recent F35A planes [1]). If you adjust that to the US economic output per capita figures, you're looking at up to a quarter of a billion dollars per plane equivalent for the Su-57. A crushing sum, in other words, for the Russians and their economic capabilities.

However, the Russians sold Su-35s to China at a cost of $83 million a few years ago. So the quoted Su-57 numbers certainly appear fraudulent. The real unit cost is probably twice the claims. There is minimal transparency in such things as it pertains to Russia.

So far it appears they can't afford or deliver their supposedly cost effecient plane:
