Jitsi is great! If they can figure out a good webinar solution it could be an absolute killer. As it stands, it's (in my opinion) really just useful for small scale interactive meetings at this point, not 100+ participant events.

It's really great as a face-to-face solution though, where Zoom and many others are actually kind of overkill.
Actually, the experience with broken config comes from using nginx-proxy (along with the le companion) in production for 18 months or something, that and other inconveniences pushed me to give Traefik a try and I was really delighted, no dealing a configuration template, and I can view the configuration from the web dashboard instead of having to ssh into nginx to get the config.

Traefik and Caddy are not comparable in my opinion because Traefik was literally made for self-configuration based on service discovery, see an interresting discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/gq90aw/traefik_...

I completely agree with you about ZDD, 99.9% of uptime is plenty enough for 99.9% of the projects, and trashing the container to start a fresh process from a fresh system build does come with other advantages. Sure, any kind of blue/green deployment or canary would be really nice to see, but it wouldn't seem to create a lot of value for 99.9% of the projects, and for the rest well there's k8s that deals with clusto

Currently I'm just using a bunch of ansible roles with an ansible command line wrapper, so I'll do `bigsudo yourlabs.netdata @somehost` and it'll auto-install yourlabs.traefik if not already there, which will auto-install yourlabs.docker if not already there, and basically just leave me with `https://netdata.somehost.fqdn`

Thank you for the invitation to contribute ! As you probably guessed, I'm a bit like you in the sense that I cannot live without making my own system, and I have made different design decisions:

- Python for server side, I find it more fun than JS, nothing we can do about that

- Python for client side, because we maintain our crazy isophormic component library in python

- Not docker, but podman, which can run rootless and daemonless (thought we need the daemon that provides a docker compatible API to have Traefik service discovery)

- Not docker build, but something I'm cooking on my own ("shlax") that I find a lot better for my taste, and that uses buildah which can build rootless

- Not docker-compose, but shlax, which aims to support a broader range of use cases (such as backup/restore)

- The thing I'm building is first a really KISS Sentry alternative, then also a GitLab alternative, and I'm in the process of adding CI into it ... but I stopped doing that until I have finished my little Python lib ("shlax") that replaces docker/compose and ansible to have something to put in the CI test that's not tech that I'm trying to move away from, and so that it can build/test/deploy itself,

So, I suppose our goals and design decisions are a bit too different, but I can assure you that I'm always happy to see CapRover featured in social media, and I'm always happy to discuss rare passions like that, if you're looking for a crazy friend recoding his entire little world to just talk about these kind of things feel free to send me an email or give me a call ;)
> The United States Government prints money all the time. This money has value because there is a world-wide consensus that it has value.

No the Government borrows against future taxes (consider that an accounts receivable), the borrowed money doesn’t have value because of consensus it has value because it is backed by future tax revenue.

If the government did as you say and borrowed a trillion per taxpayer the system would breakdown but not because of some “consensus” but because the account receivable (future taxes) is insufficient to payback the borrowed money.
> Who has been fired for 'one off remarks'?

Google "comedians fired social media" or "comedians fired old material". If not one-off remarks then a tiny percentage of overall material.

> Older work getting re-evaluated, viewed from a different angle, etc, is more or less how culture works.

I have no problem with anyone taking a nuanced look through an entire piece while also considering the time and place when it was published. What I do have a problem with is cherry-picking through an hour plus of material and branding an entire work "problematic" or worse for a handful of jokes that were mainstream funny at the time and clearly jokes; the whole point of the profession. Most of this is amplified by social media and its ability to share short, out of context clips of anything but unfortunately there are real consequences that arise from that.

> Murphy or Seinfeld don't seem to be any worse for the wear at all.

Both of those guys are some of the greatest to ever do it. They also both have a lot of money. They're well-insulated from the consequences that others may face for similar actions; whether they be too big to blacklist or not suffering the loss of income that may devastate others.
Admirable sentiment, but watching ads does not support Youtubers. It supports Youtube - which you hope translates into Youtube giving money to the Youtuber's whose videos you watched.

As far as I know, most people who make money from Youtube videos do not have a contract with Youtube. There are plenty of stories of Youtube changes that strongly impact the monetization - most recently: [1].

I believe it's better to support content creators themselves (e.g., directly, or via a Patreon or something similar) than indirectly-no-strings-attached-I-hope-having-my-privacy-violated-gets-you-some-something.

Furthermore: the way advertisements work has become so nefarious, that basically your browser is sleeping around with 30-50 random unknown third parties on just about every site you visit. And browser STDs are rampant across the web. Browse safely, use a browser condom, i.e., an ad blocker.

This feels like the kind of thing that the CEO of Zoom should be asked about under oath by a congressional committee. It's supposedly a US company so it would be interesting to see just what influence the Chinese government has over it and why.
I think there is room for nuance here. True deliberate practice is easiest to apply in those domains, but there are some lessons from Ericsson's work that can be applied using the NDM framework. I think the point that people miss often is that it is deliberate practice, not just practice. While we may not be able to practice like a potential chess grand master, we can deliberately challenge ourselves and look to learn from our mistakes. If you squint hard enough, some of what Klein writes about in "The Power of Intuition" seem like attempts to deliberately practice something in a field without that long tradition of pedagogical development (or fields that don't train for tacit knowledge). His paper with Peter Fadde, "Deliberate Performance" also talks about this. That said, you sometimes don't learn the right lessons, and if the situation changes too dramatically, all your tacit knowledge might work against you.

One tangent comment to go with this: One of Klein's occasional coauthors, Robert Hoffman, co-wrote a book on expert weather forecasters that I really liked. Weather is hard to predict, but one thing they found that what the best forecasters did was to look at the data before looking at what the computer models predicted. Once they had an idea of what they thought the weather might look like, they compared with the model. This kept their skills sharp and ensured that they continued to learn.
Agreed. This is a language habit I need to break.

> Google Meet had all sorts of connection quality issues

When was this? Google Meet has gotten a lot better in the last few weeks.
It's pretty amazing how with zero details you were able to completely disregard the OP's question, deprive him or her of agency, and then instruct them to ignore their own thoughts, all while accusing them of bad faith ("just a tactic").

Why would you do this?
I will not use it. Have used it once with some friends when it seemed churlish not to, but have refused to and suggested using Jitsi Meet since then with others including at work.

Work insists on Microsoft Teams now. Oh well. At least I am only probably being spied on by the "good guys" now, right?
If that's your threat model (untrusted script = owned) then don't even bother creating a user account. Just run as root.

Back on topic though, I think it's just easier from an engineering perspective to maintain a stable ABI than it is to maintain a set of blessed kernel versions.

An ABI is something that can be reasonably well-defined and has a clear scope, whereas if you just say that you support kernel versions X, Y and Z, then who knows what weird undocumented behavior you'll need to maintain.
I cannot help but ask - So how much does this cost? You mentioned several different plans. Of course I will not get that here, but I will enjoy living vicariously through you and your awesome internet speed. I can hear myself now at work: "I know a guy who gets 10G!

A protest can remain non-violent in the face of violence. Modern non-violent protests have succeeded against well-armed and violent opposition. I'd argue the world is better for it.

When and where violence should be resisted with violence is a question for the ages, perhaps with an answer that varies with time and circumstance.

I suspect that for the protests in America today to succeed, taking the highest-possible road of non-violence will yield the greatest dividend. The real battle is playing out in the minds of a multitude of quiet observers. The city streets are just one stage.
Amazon bandwidth pricing is wildly overinflated, so that's not a useful metric to use as a comparison to wholesale bandwidth costs.

At scale means purchasing bandwidth in quantities of 100G. You'd be surprised how straightforward it is to get reasonable wholesale bandwidth rates almost anywhere once you cross a certain monthly spend threshold.

As to the 95th percentile thing, sure, if you've already used up your "free" burst capacity, pushing a further 300 Mbps for a day will push you over the limit.
If that's not sarcasm, help me understand why... I'm not a finance guy. The argument made by the author was roughly something like this:

- Capital requirements against the CLO's assume AAA ratings

- In 2008, we learned that AAA CDO traunches were really AAA (despite not containing a single AAA-rated loan) only when assumptions about (non-)correlation of defaults remained true -- ie real estate markets are local so not everyone defaults at the same time

- The problem with the AAA CDO ratings was that in a time of crisis, all the "good times" defaulting correlation assumptions go out the window and everyone defaults together. Now the magic of blending a bunch of BBB's, BB's, and B's into an AAA no longer works.

So if now we're repeating the same story -- a big shock ('rona) makes a whole bunch of previously uncorrelated loans default together -- then the argument goes that the capital requirements which assumed AAA ratings are insufficient.

What part of that story is wrong or incomplete?
As someone who values their hearing - I religiously wear earplugs at concerts and muffs at the gun range - these absolutely terrify me. Good to see solutions, even if they're just initial prototypes that may/may not work, being developed.
The reason I'm not using Google Meet is because there's no guarantee about the continuity of the service a few years down the road. I think it's a reasonable fear about every Google product (except for search, gmail, and YT). I don't wanna rely on a service that gets discontinued by Google just like their other popular products e.g. Reader, Plus, Glass, etc.
The rise of embarrassingly parallel serverless compute
Mortgages should have been heavily renegotiated, bailout given to the home owners to pay back the mortgage in a bottom-up bailout. Let's throw in existing homeowners as well, who had made proper payments in the mix, so they get some benefit from the situation.

Instead lots of money handed over to banks to fix their books and toxic assets handed over to the .gov. Lots of people losing their homes and jobs, no one in the financial sector really seeing any jail time or penalty for their malfeasance. Much of the financial sector actually made off quite well during/after the crisis.

We're seeing it again with big businesses getting COVID bailouts, meanwhile politicians are wringing their hands that unemployment insurance benefits are "too high" and "main street" needs to get back to work. Make sure "main street" is held accountable and/or penalized, but it seems there are a lot of golden parachutes and soft landings for big business and the finance industries.
> Why the hostility towards entities

Among many other reasons, because such entities repeatedly try to weaken Internet security standards and software to accommodate their expectations. That's an attack, and deserves an appropriate response.

Also, because today, everyone doesn't always have enough choices of potential employers that they can avoid such policies.

Also, because nobody should ever get used to the idea that their network is MITMing their traffic, not least of which because that normalizes such technologies on other networks and in other contexts.

Also, surveillance technologies like this will be abused by people with power over others; there's a long history of such abuse.

And those are just the reasons off the top of my head.

> Go ahead, you're increasingly unlikely to win that battle.

What happens when libraries and software starts dropping support for old, insecure protocols, and the new protocols are designed to treat MITM as an attack? What happens when, even before that, companies that MITM have to replace cheap MITM infrastructure with incredibly expensive MITM infrastructure? What happens when software and services start treating the resulting decreasing percentage of companies that try to MITM the way they treat companies still running IE6, and tell them "you'll have to upgrade your network"? What happens when people trying to MITM find they can't run modern software stacks, and their auditors complain that they're not upgrading? What happens when they're spending huge amounts of money maintaining forks and patches? What happens when the engineers who would have to maintain those patches don't want to work on a hostile network, and the ones that remain are more expensive? There are many things people can do to make life difficult for anyone trying to MITM.
Let's face it: if they have assets in China and are a Chinese company, assume the worst. They almost certainly don't have a choice

Zoom is not a U.S. company but an infiltration by China. The entire company should be broken up and all ties with China cut.

Its founder and CEO should also be investigated for illegal ties with China.

Hi, this is unrelated but I came across an old thread here where you mentioned you had used SportsRadar's API.

Just wanted to as you how much that cost (approximately)? If you don't mind sharing
Sure. I was responding to a post that asked:

> When / how / why would you use the trailing dot?
I used to deploy and support enterprise software, which I chose from a contingency point of view: More users, more important users, and thus a lesser chance of being "wrong" about the choice of software. I had some good experiences, some bad.

Then I tried non-enterprise software. I picked out some lightweight tools and platforms and swore I'd drive them into the ground and get to the same goals, just to see what I could do without the enterprise overhead components. This experience practically changed my life--lightweight has been _the_ way to go for me ever since, whether by hook or by crook.
I'd just like to see more evidence and information before making judgment here.

There's no response from Zoom whatsoever, which is odd. Could this have been other users maliciously reporting the account as abuse, and it was closed automatically? Or something else similar?

Or if China is putting pressure on Zoom, then how exactly?

If Zoom, an American company, really did intentionally close the account of someone living in the US, because the Chinese government asked them to for political reasons, that does sound outrageous.

But it's so outrageous that I actually have a hard time believing it's true. It feels like business suicide. I want to hear Zoom's side here first -- which I expect we will soon, since this story broke only 2 hours ago.
Nope. You can have YT violate your privacy without paying.

About two months ago, so maybe it would be better now.
Is it possible you've been brainwashed? I've never worked at a job that was so important as to make firing so vital. Most corporations are littered with deadwood. If firing "poor performers" is of no importance, how could it be more important than my comfort at my job? In fact, pretty much the only jobs that remain unionized are the ones we all pretend are really extra super important, like police and teachers.
FWIW - I periodically remind myself that everyone I know is deeply flawed and is wrong to various extents on most topics. That includes myself.

Talk is cheap, so people say (passionately) things with virtually no thought. Wait to see what people do and decide whether it's a _direct_ threat. If there's a 7 step chain of causation that's threatening, then you should relax and acknowledge you're probably wrong. The other part is you should make sure your actions directly align with your values.

You have a strange definition of 'retaliation'. If you throw a ball at a brick wall and it bounces back and hits you, the wall didn't retaliate or act in self-defense. The entire impetus and result is 100% on you. The same applies here.
Not OP, I love the company's leadership and the product (not the privacy issue part). It's awesome to see Eric leaving Webex and building a product that seems and sells superior to Webex. It's not that easy to beat yourself at your own game and he's proved. That is one thing I like about Zoom
My interpretation was that the OP has friends who oppose increased accountability or demilitarizion of the police, and that they saw this as a threat to safety. How would that interpretation modify your answers?

No. Zoom should be banned and its CEO ousted.

The company should be purged from all Chinese influences.
I am confused.. are we supposed to be surprised by this?
It's a really, really slow computer. The Pi 4 is something like 10x faster than the original Raspberry Pi, but that was also a really, really slow computer. I remember not wanting to set up a cross compiler once, and recompiled ntpd on one. It took more than 24 hours. The same build runs on my desktop in seconds.

It is good for things like reading a sensor and sending it to some server, but so are ESP32s which are cheaper. You are paying a heavy price to get video output and Linux compatibility. In the current era, it's a bad microcontroller (expensive!) and a bad desktop computer (slow!). When it came out, most people were using $25 MCU boards, so $10 extra to run Linux was a great deal. These days, a massively more capable MCU dev board can be had for $4 (if you want free 2 day shipping, less if you can wait).

Back in Highschool I used a similar program to leach myself digital logic, Logisim[0]. Although it's no longer maintained by it's original author, it does still run, and I don't remember any outstanding trouble with it.

I think the main benefit compared to Logic.ly, aside from being FOSS, is that Logisim has a number of different simulated input/output devices (button, joystick, keyboard, LED, 7-seg, hex digit, LED matrix, and tty), which is useful if you want to try and build a toy CPU or other such things. I recall it also had pretty good support for modules.

That said, it looks like Logic.ly is maybe targeting more of an intro level of course work, where stuff like TTYs and keyboards wouldn't be relevant.
