"The problem" is always the victim...never the people doing the victimization. This just reinforces that I said and believe. People don't see others as living, feeling humans. They are means to an end and if they don't "contribute to the discussion" in the way they want then they are invalidated. It's one thing to leave people be, it's another to actively push down irl or with voting. It's saying "you don't matter and what you say and do annoys/bothers/irritates me and I need to demonstrate that". I cannot understand such a selfish mindset. But it's my mistake for continuing to believe people are going to be different. Every psychologist etc I have seen has said that most people never grow past the ego driven, narcissistic child phase of emotional maturity, no matter how "intelligent" or "successful" they appear they just cannot have empathy or care about others as emotional beings like them.

If I laid out details...which I have done many times...those details would be ignored, picked apart, invalidated, twisted...and nothing good happens. Occasionally a good soul reaches out and offers support of some sort...but only once in my life has that ever been actionable and beyond "I understand and that sucks". I know it offends people...and I don't even care anymore...but most people are in it entirely for themselves as I have said. Everything they do and say is for their own emotional and physical need and even their seemingly good actions toward others is self serving. My mistake was believing the few mentors and good examples of loving human beings I have been fortunate to know were not unicorns and were just people I had to get out in the world and find. But unicorns they were/are. I learned after my suicide attempt how even when things are at their worst people will still punch down, betray, lie, abuse, cheat, and step on you for their own needs. They prevent people from opting out of life because that scares and angers them...but they refuse to do whats needed to allow those people in need to survive. They just keep you in a nice smoldering fire because that's best for them. But since I AM a feeling human being I cannot just accept it and suffer the fire...I get upset and lash out and speak out...and it just stokes the flames and I regret it. Cannot win...can only hurt.

Took a while to get all the deliverability stuff right, and all the monitoring in place, but we've been using it successfully for about 5 years now. I know it's not self hosted as you asked for, but thought I'd put it out there anyway, just in case a hosted free service would also be an option.

Author’s claims are valid. SMS is still relied upon in countries without stable internet connection. Twitter should use its resources to fix the vulnerabilities and not just kill it off.

Yeah... I guess a little bit it does. Keybase offers an alternative to Web of Trust that kernel.org itself uses (https://www.kernel.org/doc/wot/). Keybase solution is having multiple social-proofs instead of the Web of Trust. Sadly this is unnecessarily centralized but I've seen approaches to implement Keybase-like social proofs systems in pure OpenPGP: https://github.com/wiktor-k/openpgp-proofs#openpgp-proofs

> Just because they lived in fucked up times, compared to our current standards, does not mean they experienced a different quality of suffering.

Perhaps it's more about "you can get used to anything." Happiness set-point theory, etc.

If you're always experiencing some low level of pain, then the pain soon stops being distracting. It still has pain qualia, if you focus on it; but those qualia no longer impact your life. You learn to function around/through that pain. It stops having relevance to your brain's decision-making process. It stops being processed consciously.

And someone who has learned to do that, if they experience a set, larger amount of pain (a tooth being extracted, say), will experience less subjective pain relative to someone not already experiencing that low constant underlying pain, because the relative amount of pain they experienced—the pain they haven't learned to ignore, the pain that leaps to conscious attention—will be less for them, than it is for the person who normally experiences no pain at all.

Now take that concept and apply it to mental anguish or guilt/shame. I would expect that it would imply that people who lived in times where everyone had all sorts of reasons to be anguished, and thus were low-level constantly anguished—would end up less likely to get PTSD, simply because there are fewer things in their lives that can truly "pin the needle" of anguish enough to cause PTSD, when the tare on their "enough anguish to rise to conscious attention" scale has been reset higher.

> Vaccines with documented adverse affects do not get manufactured.

Wait, what? I can't think of a single vaccine that does not have an "adverse effect". I'm not an anti-vaxxer, but this type of cavalier attitude about the safety of vaccines makes it seem like the industry does not take the risks seriously. We have a child with an autoimmune disorder, and were very lucky to have a pediatrician who understood these risks and helped us weigh which vaccines to administer, and which to avoid.

Many vaccines list seizures, comas, severe allergic reactions, or death. [1] These side effects may be rare for most people, but we know people with autoimmune disorders are particularly at risk, and about 5% of the US population have an autoimmune disorder. [2] There are some guidelines for contraindications from the CDC but autoimmune disease is still very poorly understood. For the majority of people, taking a vaccine is a no-brainer, but other people may seriously need to weigh the risks. Vaccines are not a silver bullet for everyone.

> on Thursdays at 8pm, people stand on doorsteps and clap for the NHS

This looks very orwellian. Does it come from a grass root initiative, or was it started by the government?
It is also not prudent to assume that regulators are always scheming, wicked villains, or power hungry idiots or whatever. For example, in your distillery link the FDA explains that incidents of kids eating hand sanitizer are up since the pandemic.
I think you can look at it another way, in terms of what can be achieved. Whether or not I think it's good that every pub I want to go to is shut, it's obvious that the government have the ability to compel them to do so. If the government want social distancing they have lots of tools to make it happen.

They have far fewer tools to make a contact tracing app happen, when that app needs to be voluntarily installed by everyone. So doing things like turning it into a surveillance system (even if it's just because they want better Covid data) when other countries aren't, is just increasing the risk that the public turn it down and the whole thing fails.

And "this app is bad and you shouldn't install it" can spread really, really fast. A few weeks ago my extended family wanted to do a video call and someone suggested everyone install House Party. The day we were going to do our first call some weird tweets went viral saying that app was hacking people's banking apps and other accounts. I'm not sure what came of that, the accusation makes no sense, but our use of House Party was cancelled because there was something on Facebook saying don't download it and how are non-technical people meant to distinguish it really when basically everything you can click through to on Facebook is a scam?

If something like that happens then you really need credible people to be able to push the messaging that this app is vetted, people can trust it, it's safe. If all the background noise is about privacy and similar concerns, then negative messaging can get a lot of cut through with nothing pushing back. I'm pretty certain nobody in that family chat who saw those Facebook posts will ever install House Party, and I'm pretty sure a few well placed Facebook posts going viral with no credible voice telling them otherwise could stop them installing any contact tracing app as well.
No, he's saying that isolation via systemd is basically the same kind of isolation that you get with runtimes like docker. It's just Linux namespaces, which conventional wisdom is to assume that it's a relatively modest security boundary at best. The key takeaway here is that you can get this added security with minimal to no performance impact in a way that's simple and straightforward for the sysadmin to configure.
How do you fuck up so bad marketing to one of the biggest fanbases in the universe?
Certainly there are plenty programs that are designed modularly, componentized, plugin-based, compositional, whatever... They just never feel as good as purpose-built apps with good workflows. If you know of one that does, please do forward it on because I'd love the inspiration.

I think Keybase does what it intends to do, which is to make PKI accessible to non-experts and to cultivate a community of users achieve the usefulness that network effect affords.

If you're really just looking for encryption and signing, encrypted filesystems, encrypted chat, distributed filesystems, and you're an expert, you have the tools you need.
“Travel bubbles” are how the world will get moving again
I just wanted to nitpick a particular line to help you tighten the wording up a little, and provide some info that might help on an issue you mention.

> It will create an empty file called ssh, which will instruct Raspbian to open the SSH port (22)

The reality is port 22 was never closed, and touching that file doesn't "open" it. This wording sounds like you are talking about firewall rules that aren't there and don't apply in this context. The port isn't closed unless you have also installed a network layer firewall. It's just not answering unless you instruct a particular daemon to listen there. This isn't just a wording issue - using nmap to scan closed ports and otherwise non-listening ports return different results. Closed ports are found on firewalls. The rest are either listening, or not listening.

What you really mean is that touching that file instructs Raspbian to run the sshd daemon (which does happen to listen on port 22, but that's only relevant if you have a firewall.)

To clarify, if you install a firewall which blocks the port, then touching the ssh file into existence will not open the port. The sshd daemon will be listening, but nobody will be talking to it until you tell the firewall to open that port. So the wording is technically wrong and may add confusion.

Also, your "Some Macs..." statement also should include "Some Windows..." because the issue is that Apple, Microsoft and most Linux distros use different default domain names, and so shouldn't be able to talk to each other through avahi by definition. You can get them all talking equally by agreeing on one domain. If you've ever been in an office where half the people can't seem to get the printer working, it's nearly always this same issue.

It's easy to change the Linux one since you can simply edit /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf. Your mileage will vary with Mac and Windows, since their configs will be totally different. Personally I always stick with the Linux one since most network devices (routers, network drives, etc) use .local as their domain. And since you are running your own DNS server, there isn't really anything stopping you from using DNS to service your internal network instead of dealing with different bonjour/avahi/zeroconf domains. That way you don't even have to use a domain at all (just the hostname as configured in the DNS), since everything on the same IP network will be considered the same domain regardless of their particular configuration.

PS: Dunno if you posted your recursion article before, but I thought it was done well. And the animated graphics are gold.
More like "changing of the minds"
Aside from every other problem, this kind of system is impossible to test, because the infinite configuration combination space.

many people are pretty good at getting test coverage for their code nowadays. But the equally important test coverage for config variations remains a common blind spot.
GitHub has become weirdly mainstream in the last few years. Almost all college students have some exposure even from non-CS courses. And yeah I know it's strange, but official docs just don't do it for some people.

I suspect you are like me and prefer to just read the docs and learn on your own. But there's a huge percentage of people that don't learn that way and need more hand holding at first. There's a reason that Youtube videos are so popular for learning technical subjects. I would never watch a video to learn anything technical myself yet millions of people prefer it over reading.

What I'm doing is based on experience of what works to get more people started and interested. Not everyone is an OG hacker who's been programming since they were twelve. If you are that type like I am, this is not for you as you can learn it faster on your own than you can read the tutorial. This is for those who are less experienced and might be intimidated getting going.

On that note, expect to lose money initially while optimizing your website & waiting for enough CPA data to accrue. I give it at least a month and $5-10k spend before seriously considering killing the campaign (if starting from scratch).

Very different from taking something already successful but mismanaged - this can be a lot easier to ramp off if they're making big mistakes (like not actually mobile optimized, not CPA bidding, not actually actively optimizing the website's funnel/landing page).

Now the interesting question is whether they were simply lazy in the language and this was their initial intent or if the 5 hours of the original tweet being ratioed motivated a change.

That's my experience as well. I had installed one on the PC I gave to my mother and one day she called me and told me that her friend's "internet is broken". Apparently they had tried to look something up together and my mother insisted that "that's not how the internet looks" because of all the ads, while her friend assured her that it's absolutely how it always looks. Needless to say, her friend's internet is no longer broken and everyone is happy.

Centralized or not, app-based contact tracing has not worked anywhere. The countries that do successful tracing do it manually, and when personal data is used, it's only infected people's data. Taiwan's minister explains here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScIVe6STVxI . No need to bug the entire population for this.

As long as new cases are very low, manual tracing by trained personell is superior (because of all the edge cases) and sustainable. If you have too many cases (>100s per million) you re better off shutting down anyway.

What are all these apps other than a new kind of surveillance toys, which we know will be force-installed in many countries and will most likely be abused? Maybe it's solutionism that appeals to world leaders for safety theater.

The old devices tried to stop you from running your own code, too! These problems have long been solved; but hacking around lock-out chips, manually re-flashing soldered ROMs, etc., was always part of the original demoscene culture—just like urban exploration and parkour has always been part of street-art culture. Sometimes a fence gets between you and your canvas, and you need to go around!

I suppose that might imply that "the old demoscene" had this intersection of interests, and so was inherently limited to a much smaller group of people than "the modern demoscene" is; but it still was large enough to exist and have network effects of people joining in—so I'd expect to see some analogous community today, however small, and I still find it kind of weird that I don't!

On another note, remember the venerable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_intro ? It seems warez groups had this intersection of interests, too: an equal focus on reverse-engineering/copy-protection-removal; and on attaching hardware-bending art to the results. Where'd those people go? Who are their spiritual descendants?
The thing is that Sweden’s numbers are not just slightly worse, they’re catastrophically worse than comparable countries.

They’re also much worse than a lot of not directly comparable countries, but if I would bring that up then people would just dismiss it as not comparable.

The bottom line is that the swedish strategy doesn’t work in Sweden and nothing indicates that it would work anywhere.
Somewhat related, I became mildly interested in telecommunications networks work including infrastructure, protocols, etc., but had issues finding stuff that gave more a very basic overview.

>Do you think there's enough calorie-slack built into the rice & beans (& everything else) to supply the drop from animal sources? 'Cause I for one would be very, very surprised.

Rice and beans is probably not the best example, it's just the stereotypical frugal food. What's more realistic would be corn and soybeans. Massive amounts of corn is used for ethanol production (which we probably don't need since oil is at an all time low), and massive amounts of soybeans is used for meat production (which we don't need because all the meat processing plants are shut down).
