You probably should not run it only once a week. That means it takes up to a whole week to even attempt to automatically fix a problem, which is a long time. True that's going to be four attempts before, finally, the certificate actually expires (if the problem is just intermittent service availability), but it doesn't seem worth the small additional risk.

Now, sure, in principle you should have active monitoring so you'd know immediately if there's a problem status e.g. certificate with only 14 days left until expiry; revoked, expired or otherwise bad certificate presented by server; OCSP staples missing. But we know lots of people don't have monitoring, and I guarantee at least one person reading this HN thread is mistaken and isn't monitoring everything they thought they were.

Like Certbot acme-client does a local check before taking any action, so if run once a day (or indeed once an hour) it will not normally call out to the Let's Encrypt service.

Unlike Certbot acme-client doesn't do OCSP checks, so it won't even talk to the network to get an OCSP response. Even with Certbot this (OCSP) is provided through a CDN (so it's roughly similar cost to fetching a static image for a popular web site) and so your check is negligible in terms of operating costs for Let's Encrypt.
The GPT-3 result were jaw-dropping, until you realize that they have mostly been cherry picked out of multiple series of generated garbage.

But even if GPT-3 is good at text generation, what are practical applications of it except generating blog spam?

> it's unclear how one might change the input parameters (or if that's even possible).

Yeah, the readme is pretty dense on terminology that is unfamiliar (at least to me).

It answers that question like this:

> In the examples above, we can add to and remove from edges, dynamically altering the graph, and get immediate feedback on how the results change

but it would be great to show an example of that in code, as otherwise it is easy to assume that "reachable" is a fixed result set, when the whole point of the system is that presumably you can subscribe to changes in "reachable" as "roots" or "edges" change.
aws steamrolling at its best. big tech at its worst. Even worse is the PR stunt "for the community".

Lies lies and lies. Wake up. They could have done things by the book by collaborating with the ES team. They didn't. Don't ever let them feed on lack of true knowledge. Build infrastructures that can be deployed anywhere. Support the OSS products you buy if you can. Reevaluate.
re 2) try NFS exports on either host windows or WSL2. i've used an nfs mount inside WSL2 and it works very well. don't put it in /etc/fstab, though - for me it caused a WSL2 hard lock on start.
Nothing to do with his appearance, but with his surroundings and things like his video quality. It's also just one observation of a number of very odd things — the oddest thing being that a multibillionaire has reappeared after 3 months of disappearance without making a mention of it! Especially after such widespread speculation, if there were nothing going on, you'd think he'd care to comment "hi everyone, I've just been on vacation," or something innocuous like that.
Maybe I'm missing something, but search engines make money by selling (some) links. Now all of a sudden, governments are expecting them to pay for links?

And when the search engine says "Sorry, that's not a good business case for us, we won't be operating in your country", that is considered a "threat"?

Look, companies want to make money. If you don't allow them to make money, they won't operate. Is it that hard to understand?
Loon was a clear failure on the inside around year 3. That's when the rate of innovation dropped dramatically and key figures left. Google's main failing was continuing to fund it for a further 6 years with only mediocre progress.
Can you have a license that cuts AWS, Amazon and all of their subsidiaries from doing this?

It feels predatory and although Elastic is a huge company by the numbers that keep getting touted here, they're a rounding error on Amazons scale.

Amazons practice in sections of their online market place has been clone / re-brand what's selling well in the market, slap an amazon basics logo on it. Then harass, ban or in the best case put the margins so low (or in the negative until the competition bleeds out) that the original seller can no longer compete. To me, this feels like the OSS equivalent.

I'm anti-Amazon though and not sure if I'm just jaded at this point.
The company is based in France.

I am trying to figure things out, but I'm seeing rates of like $500/hr in some sources and I just can't fathom how I could ever provide that much value to anyone.

Hopefully they're hiring me for my technical background and not my business intuition, otherwise any rate would be overpaying :)

I run Nextcloud on a Pi 4 and it's a struggle to get acceptable performance out of it. The ecosystem is nice, but I would absolutely trade a few less plugin for a smoother file management experience.

I will definitely be checking out OCIS, assuming I find no reason for concern from a license / privacy / security scale.

Golang isn't an automatic guarantee of performance, and "microservices" has me pause in the context of a personal server, but it happens that most of the Golang-based applications I host tend to perform extremely well. This coming from someone who strongly dislikes the "simple is better than correct" design of golang.

Respectfully, that is not the same thing. The news article from the OP (and why there's so many today), is because Google just confirmed (/threatened) that it will. That other article from a week ago is just speculation.
I just shut down my Nextcloud instance yesterday. Not that there was anything wrong with it, but all i really need is a file synchronization "platform", and there are others that don't open quite as large an attack surface as a complete nextcloud instance does.

Not saying Nextcloud is insecure, and i've never had any problems with it.

Currently trying to decide if Seafile is the way for me, though i dislike it's on disk fileformat (IIRC it's some adaptation of Git).

For now i use Resilio Sync.
> I read articles in the past mentioning that you will see "trains" of dozens of white dots one behind another in the sky.

"Will" there means "right after launch, when they're in a very different orbit from final". They spread out by a very large distance, so that in the final version you'd only have line of sight to a few scattered across the sky.
Agreed. Though it would be good to know what to do then if its unavoidable.
Late data is very deliberately not handled. The reasoning for that is best available at [0].
Now, there are ways [1] to handle bitemporal data, but they have fairly significant issues in ergonomics and performance, due to the additional work needed to allow the bitemporal aggregations.

As for the data persistence, that's something the underlying approach for the aggregations could handle relatively well with LSM trees [2] (back then, `Aggregation` was called `ValueHistory`).

Along with syncing that state to replicated storage, it should not be a big problem to make it recover quickly from a dead node.

good and bold choice. but count at least a year to get visible results.
5) Companies in the rest of the world bringing 'boring' stuff to the masses there. A low cost airline growing in South Asia or a concrete plant opening in Nigeria or modern tractors replacing human labor in India all help raise the living standards. I feel that the level of tech that people in the West have is already pretty good, and there's diminishing returns to your dishwasher or TV improving. Having a global economy that gives everyone on earth a $50,000 living standard though will be a huge improvement.

NC should one-up them and do the rewrite in Rust for 20x the performance.
Side channels like timing during different tests is one possibility. You can also reverse the operating system to understand more about how it may be handling interrupts or unique hardware. Then there's also dumping any onboard firmware memory to learn about the boot process. With some creativity, there's loads of ways to infer functionality of the processor/system enough to develop over it.

Also the idea of not being locked in to a particular cloud is attractive. Thanks

Plus it had those fantastic illustrations by Rowitha Quadflieg! (which is decidedly the most Harry Potter-esque name I've ever read in real life).
I see this pattern everywhere - the market bifurcating into a) race-to-the-bottom garbage products that are barely crossing the legal threshold of fit for purpose, and are essentially a huge waste of natural resources, and b) quality goods sold to specialists or companies, usually severely overpriced (to cover low volume of sales, and/or just because the market will bear it).

Does it have a name in economics? Are there good ways of preventing this from happening?
What? Google just says it won't do business under those circumstances. How is that telling a democracy what to do? They just tell what they will do under those circumstances.

> If this were true, it would make no sense for github to have reinstated youtube-dl.

Github took a punt that the RIAA weren't going to take it to court, because they don't want to risk establishing that the circumvention provisions are more limited in a court case. They got a lot of free PR out of it with little risk, that's why they did it.

As I said at the time, I wouldn't want to litigate on either side of this case. The law is badly drafted, there's little precedent, and I think it's a genuine 50/50. Any lawyer on both sides would advise you not to do so. I suspect the main reason is that the RIAA can now go back to Google and say they are in breach of contract for not preventing downloads on YouTube using technical protection measures, and push them to switch to Widevine on everything with any music in it.

Although it’s great for new entrants to the market who’re looking to build mindshare and marketshare. Because it’s hard for incumbents to compete with Free.

I started to use my Canon EOS 80D DSLR as a webcam. Canon finally release drivers in November. The image quality amazing. It's also a bit overkill though to use a (back then) 1400€ camera to act as a webcam (also hard to compare with default webcams at that price point), but as long as I'm not using it otherwise, I think it's ok :)
The architecture of DDflow does not lend itself well to bindings of the common, interactive type.
It relies on the code for the operators being compiled and optimized by LLVM, which inhibits run-time configurability.
This is terrible news. I hope they keep the PHP version up to date, or someone forks it. I've used Owncloud over Nextcloud, because it seems more focused on just file syncing, which is all I want. Maybe it's time to migrate.
Why would you want to build an alternative that is subjected to those same laws?

If google can make money, they will. If they can't, they won't. If they pull out of that market, maybe it's a good indicator of the potential benefit of starting such a company.
How do these containers float? Are they sealed so well that no water gets inside?
From what I've seen, Americans on either side of the political spectrum react exactly as you might suspect.

Those on the left have often maintained BLM movement was largely peaceful and characterise the rioting elements as a symptom of oppression rather than terrorism. They often make the comparison that even the most violent aspects of BLM were not trying to overthrow federal government and a democratic election (which they call treason). There are also comparisons drawn between videos of peaceful BLM protestors being pepper sprayed for sitting down on the floor and videos of capitol police taking selfies with the capitol protest moments before it became an insurrection (and removing barriers).

Those on the right often view this as hypocrisy, say that the BLM protests were acts of domestic terrorism and largely not peaceful. There is a divide within the right as to whether the election was indeed "stolen" and therefore tend to be either sympathetic or massively condemn the invasion of the capitol.

This is just my opinion from what I've seen on the internet over the last few weeks and months, I'm aware it's essentially anecdata.

Really pleasing to see that MS have done this without feeling the need to start nailing proprietary extensions onto the Rust language. I feel Rust adoption is still at a low enough level where a separate windows fork would have been especially harmful. I guess there are a couple of factors helping here:

- MS were already moving to a model where they prefer to stick with the standards-compliant form of a language: vide C++/WinRT

- Rust has enough features built in to facilitate this, specifically being able to hook into the compilation process
How "good" they are, you can gauge that by the fact that they are actively removing all discuss comments in linked blog post that points out to their hypocricy.

Don't believe me, just go ahead say something negative and see it get removed within 30 minutes.

I also thought about this but then look at the iPad and iPhone Facetime cameras. They offer much better image quality than Macbook webcams. There are a few ways to offer "rear camera" quality on Macbooks, like having a little bump sticking out from the back. I don't think that's what people are asking for though. They just want a webcam that's as good as the webcam in their phone.

Also this doesn't answer the question of why USB webcams are so terrible. They have tons of room.
Yeah, for sure - if you and some mates just want to gawp at a Picasso I think you'd get pretty short shrift!

For me, it's a mix of passion, potential business, and call of duty (if I may say it like this).
I started working on this open-source project three years ago. I needed a tool like this, but also, I wanted to learn aside from my day job.
The project has been growing since then, and now, I know that I can create a business around it.
I also get a lot of support or feature requests. So I kind of feel like I have to continue working on it (that's the "duty" part :) ).
Finally, I am very passionate about development, which helps a lot.
These are probably the three things that motivate me to work on this project.

Still, having a family with two kids, working during the evenings is not easy at all. What I tried was to set realistic, small goals. One feature at a time, one task after the other. Not trying to overdo it (most of the time).
I also know that having only one to two productive hours in the evening, I need to be extra focused and avoid phony work. I try to ask myself "why?", for each task. What is my goal? How does doing this specific task serves it? Thus, I manage to avoid working on useless things or procrastinating. With more or less success.

Having said all this, I still nearly burned out last September. Next month I will go full time on the project. It's a big bet, and it's partly about reclaiming my sanity and my free time.
So, your question is definitely not an easy one to answer!

From what I've seen/heard, the vast majority of Americans on both sides condemn the violence at the capitol hill protest, and also condemn violence at the BLM protests. Most recognize that there were legitimate protests and protesters there, but are opposed to the violence that broke out in both cases.

I think the main difference between people in the parties is in what percentage of the protesters they believe were peaceful in either case, and perception of who was behind each of the protests. Oddly, I would say both are near mirror images of each other, just holding to "their team"-- but mostly condemning the violence even if they support the wider cause or grievances.

It has more to do with maturity and reliability.

Go has mature and fast standard libraries included in the language for web-related things like http, gateway/api, proxies and above all encryption.

For rust, you'll need quite a lot of crates with a lot of unknown variables to consider.

Why do large businesses choose Webpack when there's a lot of faster, more feature-full alternatives? Because it's reliable and maintained.
They are really desperate to tie this in with "white" people, aren't they? In every single one of those quotes they couldn't wait to make the association.

Does any objective observer of those events view it as some white nationalist movement, let alone a white supremacist one? I saw more of the crowd desperate to advertise their anti-racism.

The overwhelming sentiment among actual white nationalists is that this was a bizarre and harmless lashing out by boomers and Qtards. The types who sleep with a constitution in their nightstand. Not the ones who dream of a homeland for their grandchildren.

This an act of overt racist hostility against white Americans, perpetrated by their own (former?) government.

Goodbye, America. I still dream of a homeland for my grandchildren; grateful to be very far away from the land of the free.
This is certainly true of modern "Trumpian" conservatism. I think it's possible to imagine a cautious centre-right conservative for whom this characterization does not hold (a la Buckley's quote "A conservative is someone who stands athwart history, yelling Stop, at a time when no one is inclined to do so, or to have much patience with those who so urge it.")

I'm not either kind of conservative myself, but I'd much rather deal with the old-school variety, who at their best represent a reasonable chunk of society.
Because Go is more mature than Rust for web development.

I get Rust is the current trendy language and people on HN love to argue that $TRENDY should be used instead of $BORING but this is exactly the kind of domain which Go was built for and it actually does a pretty fine job of too.
