Torrent trackers are responsible to introduce Peers to each other who are downloading/uploading the same files[torrent].
Its basically the backbone of torrent.

say for example, you have a torrent file or a magnet link. And you start downloading the file using client application, it will go to known trackers and ask them the address of peers who are uploading the file based on unique hash of it. Torrent breaks files in the chunks with size of few MB referred as pieces, Tracker will get the current status of downloaded and remaining chunks from you and give you the list of peers with same file available, at same time it will register your address for the other new peers to connect.
now connecting peers have knowledge of one anther's address they will share pieces to others and download remaining from other peers to complete the download.

so, basically peer is backbone of system, its a tool which can have multiple use legal or not, one cannot simply call its source code violating the IPs, that's just an absurd argument.
As far as I can tell, yes. Docker images compiled for arm64 work fine on the Macs with M1 chips without rebuilding. And as another commenter said, you can compile a binary on a Raspberry Pi 4 and move it to a EC2 graviton instance and it just works.
> most people are not SJW

This is true. However, few active people are enough to poison the discussion. Examples:

* erasure of gendered language from source code comments

* "master" branch controversy

* BLM banners in numerous open source project

The difference is our constitution doesn't explicitly say to remove speed limits.

If it did, we'd have to go through proper process to get the constitution amended.
For the full book length explanation of why your attitude is bad for everyone, read Enlightenment Now.

The short version is that in a society where justice relies on the strength of the individual, there is more conflict, more injury, and more murder. In areas of the USA with more of an honor culture, the murder rate is 10x what it is in areas without one.

The problem is that in an honor culture, people have a need to demonstrate how capable they are so that they will not be considered potential targets. This demonstration takes the form of proving that you will be willing to seek to right any perceived injustice, and are capable of doing so. But these demonstrations tend to involve violence, and lead to conflict. Up to and including murder.

In a law and order society, by contrast, people's safety is based on the continuation of law and order. Which means that justice is available to all, regardless of strength.

Consider. The strength difference between the average man and average woman is the difference between the average NFL linebacker and the average man. Do you think it right that the average woman's ability to obtain justice is dependent on whether some man stands up for her? And yet that is how things tend to work out in an honor culture.

I want to live in a law and order society. A place where potential rapists are deciding whether to worry about the police, and not whether to worry about me.
I'm not burnt out from WFH (I was doing that beforehand) but I'm definitely burnt out on Covid and the state of the world. We're into a second much longer lockdown in Iceland and it's just a constant stress. Compared with many we've had it much easier though.

I also work for a US based company and have friends and family who live there so the whole political situation there has been a stress. Then I'm British so I also have the whole Brexit fuck up adding it's own unsubtle kicking to my ribs.
It's chilling how quickly the tech industry has coalesced around oppressive and biased social media censorship policies. A scant few years ago, the tech industry was a beacon of free expression.
From https://capsule.social
"Capsule is a decentralized social media solution where each user hosts their own microservice. These lightweight, user friendly and secure microservices then connect to one another in a mesh design, allowing users to follow one another and share their posts."

Love this idea. Simple concept. Should scale, save for the tail cases 1:huge N followers, but that's solvable with caches/proxies. Hope for the decentralized web free from the grip of the Big Tech elites.
If you have been reading sites like www.qrz.com for the last few years, you will see that there were perhaps lots of licensed amateur radio operator terrorists there.
You are right. I think it's that we allow companies to become dominant in their industry and abuse their market position. I incorrectly called out capitalism when it's really unregulated markets combined with a legal system that makes it possible for large companies to avoid consequences, or at least defer consequences until they've wiped out their competition that the consequence is merely a minor fine.
I find it curious and vaguely racist that the word 'clan' is almost exclusively used in reference to immigrant and poc families and with an allusion to inherent criminality. This despite the fact that many Western countries have a handful of large, old families which own an inadequate proportion of the companies, resources, have outsized political influence and so on, and those families are almost exclusively in many generations from the country in question. They are as clan-ish as a 'clan' gets, but since they do not match the 'criminal immigrant' stereotype, nobody ever calls them a 'clan'.
It irks me.
So there is a distinction between running a ElasticSearch engine with custom changes in your backend and offering a ElasticSearch engine with custom changes to others as a backend?

For a non-lawyer that seems very sketchy... I could understand that people would need some legal advice for that, to understand this stuff in detail...

Do you not consider the explanation of the various functions of the clock - and the examination of the components implementing those functions - to be part of that answer? Because I do; pretty hard to answer "why?" if you can't even answer "what?" and "how?".

pretty sure you’re breaking the HN guidelines there
For Linux, X11, USB-connection to Android-Device(s), and the TV over Network:

- Make another screen - 3 options, depending on driver/available_outputs:

1: make a mode with `cvt`, add it with `xrandr --newmode`, bind it to unused output with `--addmode`
2: Use a dummy plug on a free output
3: Use `evdi` and the `example` application in evdipp to create a virtual screen, attach the provider with xrandr

- Export the new screen, or a portion of it with `x11vnc`, using the `-clip` option with coordinates or screennumber.

Optional: Use `NoVNC` to make VNC available to any HTML5 browser

- use adb port forwarding commands to forward localhost:whatever1 on the Android device to connect to the X11VNC port.

- Use ADB, or your finger to start VNC session on tablet to localhost:whatever1, and UPNP/whatever to start browser on TV for NoVNC url.

That should cut down your research time ;)

Be warned, Evdi&EvdiPP are currently still glitchy, but under active development.

Parler, the right-wing social network is dead, but a zombie webpage remains
IANAL, but I am pretty sure Microsoft has little recourse here. The requests would need to be knowingly fraudulent for recourse and that is a huge hurdle to prove that the MPA is knowingly acting in bad faith rather than just being overaggressive.

The DMCA desperately needs to be reworked at the very least.
A decent distinction to make is Facebook on the face of it tries to moderate they're just bad at it and make decisions a lot of people aren't happy with where Parler's moderation system was almost entirely pro forma relying largely on showing reports to a panel of random users.
How can we create more FOSS software by denying others the right to build on it?

It would seem to me that this would lead to less open source, not more.
> Microsoft would never do that unless their hands were forced. Too much potential business with them.

The upside of Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub (and the entire strategy that resulted in the acquisition) is that Microsoft has created incentives for themselves to have GitHub being regarded as a truly open platform that you can depend on. Having repositories exposed to flimsy DMCA takedowns is not part of that.

Microsoft, very transparently, wants to make money by being important in how people develop software. If exposure to flimsy takedowns is a part of GitHub, then people will be more motivated to send their money to GitLab, Atlassian's stuff, or a bunch of other options. They have legitimate competition here.

Developer's opinions of GitHub and Microsoft in general may be of more longer term importance to them than the MPAA's opinion of them. I'm not saying that that is definitely the case (maybe they're still getting there), but it's worth acknowledging that Microsoft has legitimate actual cold money reasons to fight this. No need to rely only on personal convictions of the people at GitHub.
From the documentation:

> The core export format of novelWriter is HTML5. You can also export the entire project as a single novelWriter Markdown-flavour document. In addition, other exports to Open Document, PDF, and plain text is offered through the Qt library, although with limitations to formatting.

So it seems like it can export to Open Document, which seems to be well-supported[1]; including Microsoft Office support.

> One bad person less.

Reform is better than revenge. Not only would society lose a bad person, we'd gain a good one.

> How about asking questions, then torturing, then killing. You'd get the cake and eat it, too.

This would serve only to turn good people into that which they condemn.
yup, I agree.
They just can't wait for duration and want instant access to released content.
The occasional prominent developer has left GitHub for GitLab, but it hasn’t made much of a difference. I don’t see organizations moving off GitHub if they’re already using it. I think GitHub is independent enough from Microsoft that the two could take different stances on these disputes. Certainly I’d expect a DMCA takedown of content on a Microsoft service like OneDrive to be ultimately handled differently from a takedown aimed at source code on GitHub...
I agree in principle, but it's worth also examining the effect this has on how people end up in media echo chambers— when the media is a monopoly like the BBC and people expect to hear Jeremy Paxman grill you, you're going to go face the music, because not doing so will be even worse for you than going and faceplanting (a similar thing could be said historically about Peter Mansbridge on CBC in Canada).

In the US, though, there's no such impetus. Interviewers and even whole outfits can get cut off from access for the slightest thing, so then you have the phenomenon of politicians only ever being interviewed in increasingly safe environments, with friendly hosts who suck up to them, following prearranged lines of questioning, etc. Any apparent instances of toughness are basically theatre, with both sides in on the act.

Anyway, I don't have an answer here. Choice in media is absolutely a net good, and competition is critical to a healthy overall dialogue. But I feel that some of the more subtle costs of this approach are not always considered in discussions about it.
Couldn't stand doing that. It would just feel like I wasn't getting enough rest you know?

Now I just go to the living room and play in my Xbox. Dunno, I need to change environments to separate things.
The central bank is doing far more than doubling with little to show for. The amount isn't important, only the effectiveness. An effective program can end up reducing spending and give better outcomes at the same time.
> Maybe the wildest thing that I've heard is Fujitsu not implementing either 32-bit or Thumb on their new supercomputer. Is that a special case?

What's wild about this? Apple dropped support for 32b (arm and thumb) years ago with A11. Supporting it makes even less sense in an HPC design than it does in a phone CPU.
Or if one really wanted an integration test, why not spin up something link MinIO and test with that. The infrastructure would exist only for the lifetime of the test run.
It's a tough call with private ownership of platforms and their rights and everything else.

I'm perpetually wondering how much you tolerate the free speech of a group whose purpose or side effects would inevitably restrict the rights of others.
The vast majority of code running is in python, js, jvm, php, ruby, etc. Far removed these concerns.
It seemed like Burger King was headed that direction when they released their line of (surprisingly playable) Xbox games, but I guess they've backed away since then.
No, we need to show strong opposition but using civil and democratic means.
Waiting outside or in your car is not "declining" the waiting period. It's a reasonable thing to do if you're more worried about remaining indoors around strangers. Unless you've got serious mobility problems, there's fundamentally no difference between waiting at the point of vaccination and waiting outside.
> The marketplace of ideas only works that way when its participants are rational actors with good judgement

You're leaving out the implicit assumption you're making, that the "authorities" in charge of the marketplace are rational actors. You better hope to hell, that they are.

Because when some marketplace participants fail, they fail gracefully. When centralized authorities fail, they fail spectacularly and disastrously. I can virtually guarantee you that Qanon will be a footnote in ten years time. In contrast how would you like to live in Iran, China, Turkey, or any other regime where lunatics have taken over in the name of "protecting the people from dangerous ideas"?

All those people clamoring for authorities to clamp down on irrational Trumpist extremists, have forgotten that Trump and his cronies were just recently in charge of all three branches of the government as well as a supermajority of state governments.

This is how the political cycle always goes. All anybody sees is a sensible, incoming administration with likeminded views. And I actually agree. Biden's a decent man, and I honestly can't see him abusing even very broad powers. But what happens after? But there's no putting this genie back in the bottle. Do you trust President Donald Trump Jr. or President Tucker Carlson or President Josh Hawley with that power?

This isn't even hypothetical. Most people here are too young to remember the post-9/11 hysteria. But I can virtually guarantee you that had the current crop of anti-speech activists managed to put their would-be "anti-extremist" laws in place, that opposition to the War on Terror would have been de facto illegal.

Dealing with some stupid conspiracy theories and LARPer shamans, who have as much chance of overthrowing the American government as my toddler, are a small price to pay for fault-tolerance in liberal democracy.
> For one, no other license, copyleft or otherwise, extends your obligations to software which is not actually a derivative work, which if nothing else requires a novel interpretation of the OSD.

Copyfarleft[1] has been discussed for almost a decade now and has spinoffs like Copyfair[2].

> The precise semantics of how much or how little the license diverges from the requirements of open source is an interesting topic for another time.

There is definitely a gray area there but the comment I originally replied to naively equated open source with the more permissive licenses.

> They were allowed to do this, by the letter of the law, but it is fucked up regardless.

I am not convinced that "it is fucked up".

I wasn't thinking about classes when I wrote the comment but I agree they are fundamental axis along which people divide themselves. I think class differences are an underappreciated source of conflict in our world today and there are inequities that we should be working hard to correct.

That said, my point was we need not abolish all the many ways that people differentiate themselves in order to have (more) universal cooperation: involving mostly everyone and mostly everywhere, not necessarily on everything. And we need higher levels of cooperation to address the biggest challenges humanity faces.

> That adds a significant level of complexity.

Any system that aspires to unify a wide swath of humanity with all it's diversity and frailties will be tautologically complex.

A Utilitarian would argue against your point by pointing out that the utility created by the revenge murder is less than the utility created by not doing so. With the revenge murder you add another corpse to the pile and probably end up removing yourself from the utility pool. Without it, perhaps the rapist-murderer adds something of value to the world before their death, and you don't remove yourself from the utility pool.

Utilitarianism is simplistic, but then again, so is "I'd feel morally obligated to do it, and I'd be a coward if I did otherwise." Point being, this is not a hard point to argue against, using almost any philosophical framework created in the last couple thousand years.
When people say shit like this you just know immediately where they stand and who they consider their peers to be.

Leftist activists and sex workers specifically (but among others) have been getting banned from twitter, fb, reddit, other "big tech" platforms for years now. But I don't remember a mass crying out against it by the free speech fundamentalists.
People didn't, because phones are not useful for this purpose. And, yes, if they were, we would be asking ourselves how to prevent their use for this purpose.

The phone network is useful for other uses society deems to be net-negative, such as spammy calls. As a result, technical and legal barriers were erected to curtail such abuses.
Tesla probably has the best solution to this so far; they have cameras around the car that record movement and send it to the cloud. A tracking system would work only until thieves figure out how to disable it; at which point it just becomes another part to sell. The Tesla solution is nice because it live streams the carjacking to the owner, enabling them to pick out details about the thief that could be useful to arresting them. Of course, Teslas also have GPS tracking on top of this.

Oh piss off Daniel. If HN let us delete our own accounts I would have done it a year ago.

I've asked you repeatedly to do something about the downvote abuse but you continue to act like nothing's wrong. I have no respect left for this community or the people who run it, nor do I see value in participation anymore.

HN likes to masquerade as some sort of upscale establishment, high and above the petty squabbles of Eslewhere, but in the end this place too devolves into a predictable echo chamber just like the rest of them, when it comes to any topic on which people have varied opinions.

This did not happen overnight; for more than a year I have been watching perfectly fine comments getting buried almost instantly. Why give a fuck about what you write if you're going to be downvoted anyway?

You are well aware that downvotes can be and are abused to prevent facts from being seen. Like what even was in the GP's comment to make it so gray? (at the time I posted mine)

HN is broken, and one of the major indicators of a broken service is a tone-deaf management who continues to insist that everything is Working As Intended.
So democracy or trial by your peers fails?
If they can be sure there is no copyright violation, then what would the downside be? By not acting on the DMCA notice, they would lose their safe harbor, which would be inconsequential.

I’ll see what I can do, I’m not familiar with Debian package bug tracking. For reference, the incompatibility I faced was for the CloudFlare DNS plugin, which added support for API Tokens that had granular permissions somewhere between version 0.23 distributed in stable and 1.11 distributed via snap. Certbot docs and CloudFlare docs both encourage you to use API tokens instead of account-wide API secrets and the previous install instructions for wildcard DNS support suggested installing the CloudFlare DNS plugin by default on the Certbot site. As CloudFlare is used by a lot of folks for DNS, and was a suggested default install, I’m probably not the only one that encountered problems setting it up, without a backport available for a newer package of Certbot.

>As for moves again at Taiwan, China hasn't given up that prize.

CCP hasn't give up since KMT high-tailed to Taiwan. for more than 40+ yrs American cozy up with the Chinese govrt and doing business with China.

American told Taiwan govrt not to "make trouble" but we all know China is the one who make all the troubles with military threat and flying aircraft over Taiwan, day in and day out.

Taiwan have build up a impressive defensives from buying weapon (US) to develop its own. yes, China can take Taiwan. that's 100% but at what price.

that's what Taiwanese is betting on, China will think twice about invading.
it will probably be a similar situation to x86, with various vendors implementing various instructions in some processors that won't be supported by all. I guess the difference is that there may be many more variants than in x86, but performance-critical code can always use runtime dispatch mechanisms to adapt.
> Moral of story: FB and Twitter can do whatever they want, because they have more baby pictures. Any new social network has fewer baby pictures, and therefore can be held to a higher standard, to the point that it will be obliterated before it has a real chance to compete.

Eh, not really. You're forgetting the other half of the equation: Parler's niche was the stuff Facebook and Twitter had either banned or discouraged (like false claims of election fraud).

The real moral of the story is: don't try build your social network from Facebook and Twitter's concentrated dross.
Academic writing uses abstracts, and it is not because they are so accustomed to instant gratification. It is because it makes for clearer reading and a more efficient allocation of effort.
