I am inclined to believe you. I am giving nextcloud another try this weekend on my pi (I just found out about nextcloudpi).

edit: Aaaaand nextcloudpi is stuck in an endless loop after first login. What was I expecting.

edit2: doesn't explain why owncloud runs smoother than nextcloud though. They must be doing something right.
Protestors really need to find a more censorship-resistant means of communication.

In the heat of the moment, when protests are organized and coordinated over the internet, internet censorship can be very effective, and countries have become adept at controlling it.

John Gilmour's quip about the internet interpreting censorship as damage and routing around is far from true for mainstream internet users, if it ever was.

> Tesla is the only participant that has a true path to self driving technology.

You can’t make a statement without qualifying this. You attack legacy automakers but then go on to discuss Waymo. I would bet money you’re long TSLA.

You talk about OTA updates as if that’s some huge technological moat? Hell, cars have been receiving very frequent software updates for over a decade.
Instructions unclear - I got a bunch of threatening letters from the alleged 'owners' of the twitter.com domain. Do you have some more details on how to uninstall someone else's website, please?
> At this point it’s best not to bet against Elon.

Maybe in a "should you short Tesla stock" or "will a Californian jury rule against him" sense.

But on the other hand, if you bet a friend on how many Tesla Robotaxis would be on the road by the end of 2020 you could be sitting on a nice bottle of whisky by now.

Point taken, but I think most people tempted to have illegal automatic weapons are the paranoid home defense crowd, not the massacring unarmed civilians crowd. They're probably imagining having to use them against SWAT and military.

Multiple times across different European cities in the past decade up until the beginning of 2020 for the last time, after which I decided to not carry anything apart from an encrypted and passcode protected phone with me further on. Not going to finger-point the cities/countries because it could have happened anywhere and luckily it never involved the use of force or weapons.

People can't jump ship because of network effects: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect That's why you see mass exoduses, like what happened with WhatsApp; there's no interoperability between Facebook and the rest of the social media space, so you lose contact with nearly every Facebook user when you leave Facebook.

This means I am expected to manage my Slack status on a regular basis or deal with interruptions.

Do I turn off Slack when I'm coding? If you expect relatively quick responses, that's unlikely when I'm in the zone. Should I turn off Slack and turn it back on when g You'll have about 2 minutes to catch me about once every 20 minutes.

Usually I'm quite responsive, but sometimes I might be head down for an hour. Toggling my Slack status on and off 5-10 times per hour for that doesn't make sense.

Yes what you present is anecdotal evidence. Also nobody is saying they like the Soviet Union that is an idiotic strawman. My point is that they could be made but the USSR wasn’t gearing its economy towards consumer goods because it was a military state who cared almost entirely about heavy industry to benefit its military industrial complex and competition with the US.

It’s not betting against Elon, I don’t think anyone thinks he will fail outright. But company valuations are shades of grey. So it’s betting against everyone else who owns TSLA stock under the argument that they will never be able to justify these valuations.

Tesla is far from the only EV manufacturer.
I have all manner of stomach/digestive issues on top of the brain fog stuff, although that is generally related. I have definitely spent thousands of dollars on supplements, tried probably hundreds of them. I want to get the TrioSmart breathe test to figure out specifically what my intestines are infected with, I want to get as comprehensive a food sensitivity testing panel done as possible. There are also lots of supplements that I know would help me that are not available where I am, for example bismuth (pepto bismol).

In your case, I would recommend getting some L Glutamine power and taking a bunch of that in the morning and at night. That would likely fix your brain fog or at least go a long way. Best resource I've found is brainhealthbook.com . What is your email? I'll reach out and we can discuss ideas, theories and strategies further.
You can do write/sync/write/sync in order to achieve that. It would be nicer to have FUA support in system calls (or you can open the same file to two descriptors, one with O_SYNC and one without).

I’m fascinated by this problem. I have enough blog post ideas to last the rest of my life, probably many times over (which probably isn’t a good things, shows lack of focus).

You can verify that cell/mobile internet works fine at the site of the protests?
two problems there:

a) the present starlink architecture is bent pipe from each satellite. meaning that a satellite (for uninterrupted service, two or more satellites at the same time), in its moving LEO orbit needs to be simultaneously in view of the customer premises small terminal, and also a starlink earth station which is a link into terrestrial fiber networks. spacex is working on satellite-to-satellite trunk link connectivity but to the best of everyone's knowledge outside of the company, none of those have launched yet. because of that, you can't presently have a starlink terminal for an ordinary customer without a spacex-operated earth station geographically located in the same region.

b) an adversarial high tech nation like russia (or iran, whatever) would have absolutely no problems with operating portable spectrum analyzers on the ground to identify and confiscate starlink terminals. it needs to be on a roof or other place with a clear view of the sky, isn't very small, and it needs to transmit. if it transmits in known bands, from the ground towards space, it can be identified from the ground and confiscated. training relatively unskilled law enforcement to use a portable spectrum analyzer and a ku band horn antenna would be at most a one day, eight hour training course. see what happens if you try to operate an unauthorized two-way VSAT link, 1.2 to 2.4m dish size, in the C or Ku bands in Ethiopia today, for example. Men with a pickup truck and firearms will show up to take your equipment and arrest you.

all of that said, I think that there is still a lot of possibilities for circumvention of government censorship and filtering, even in an aggressive environment such as behind the great firewall of china. I highly encourage any interested persons with linux/networking software development expertise, and network engineering expertise to put some thought into how they might assist open source projects related to censorship, obfuscation/stego, and traffic-blockage circumvention. Except in an environment where the government literally orders EVERYTHING to be shut off (Kashmir, recently!), there will likely always remain some paths for traffic, because a country can only cripple its own internet for so long without causing significant economic impacts domestically.
This happens in the cannabis game. There are 120+ software vendors, so to make it easy humans email each other links, those links also have pointers to the data (JSON), so that the receving end can just paste it into their end.

But, wow! Is it hard to get your competitors to adopt an open protocol. Whole bunch of NIH syndrome. And each player can sit on the sidelines, or invent their own "protocol" and not adopt another (que that XKCD about 14+ standards).

Converstaions:
A: our clients want to work together, so our softwares should work together.
B: Yea, well, how many clients do you have?
A: Well how many do you have?
B: Use my protocol, we'll build a spec.
A: here's our protocol with public spec & moderate adoption.
B: Well, we didn't get to have input so we don't like it, you're clearly not a team player.
A: It's on Github! I'm literally inviting you to participate right now!?
B: ...

It's very hard to build open, distributed, federated systems when all the other parties in the game are more interested in building up their own walled garden.
It is already all but illegal to use Starlink in Russia, and given modern surveillance technologies, setting up an access point against the will of authorities might be practically impossible.
I tried applying to the position by sending an email. I get the following message:

Not the OP, but I've built several ML pipelines in the last few years. Even if every step in the process very rigorous and using solid software, there are still challenges. ML models are very difficult (or impossible to test). The usual testing approaches don't work at all for ML features.
They can solve this issue by adequately providing for self-moderation. Avoiding this approach reveals an intention to impose. Users leave once they realise the violation.

The chance of this is about zero unfortunately. Space is very heavily regulated and I don't see SpaceX trying to rock the boat at the expense of any possibility of eventually providing service in those countries. They don't have plausible deniability about where terminals are located. Knowledge of location is required for the system to work.
My workplace has developed the "nohello" culture to the point where I've noticed a new evolution of "Hi," which is "Hi. Do you know <some question that they know I can answer immediately>?"

Bro. If there's no website and you want there to be a website, then you've got to make it or something. Being like "Ah woe is me. Why does my pet interest not have work put in by other people" is like super lame. Do your own work.
We don't know which model architecture will work for which problem, and why it would/wouldn't. We experiment until we find something that works, and can sometimes try to guess why it did. But none of this knowledge is formalized in a way that can reliably predict performance in future problems. We engineer solutions to problems, but don't build a rigorous body of knowledge to help us in future problems.
Not surprising to hear that the work-study part of the equation is one of the more difficult ones - but good job on getting it down! May I suggest hiring college students to do the technical heavy-lifting? In my limited experience, I've seen motivated college students routinely hammer out high-quality work in tasks such as code maintenance, testing, etc for half the pay of a full-time software engineer.

> You attack legacy automakers but then go on to discuss Waymo

Paragraphs 1-3 discuss legacy automakers. Only paragraph 4 references Waymo.

> You talk about OTA updates as if that’s some huge technological moat?

Of course they're not a technological moat. These auto makers are hundreds of thousands of employees. They're likely an organizational nightmare and stuck to the way things have been done. The fact that they don't have over the air updates or have to iterate on an annual cadence is evidence of something deeply flawed in their organizational structure. And I'm not confident that they can overcome it.
I find that amazing that in a crowded SaaS market you can still find opportunity everywhere, yet alone making a SaaS that makes money a $250kARR.

In that context, such a law makes complete sense, I guess.

They just shut of the internet in Russia. In its entirety. What new "means of communication" are protesters supposed to come up with, and why wouldn't anyone else come up with those, considering any means of mass communication independent of the internet would probably be useful for a lot more than just protesting?
Thanks for your response. I suppose the biggest problem I have with this approach is that its goal appears to be saving as much time as possible for the message sender, with little regard for the time of the message receiver.

Several of the message recipients will eventually need to be told "never mind, I fixed it". By employing this strategy, you need to accept that you will be interrupting at least some people for no reason, every single time, and I don't think that's fair.

A problem that could potentially be solved by three people feels like it would be better suited for a public channel. Why is pinging three different people with a "hello" message better than posting "does anyone with experience in X or Y have time to help me with Z" in the developer channel?
See also: sublime HQ blog about complexities of shipping a desktop application using mmap [1] and corresponding 200+ comment HN thread [2]:

> When we implemented the git portion of Sublime Merge, we chose to use mmap for reading git object files. This turned out to be considerably more difficult than we had first thought. Using mmap in desktop applications has some serious caveats [...]

> you can rewrite your code to not use memory mapping. Instead of passing around a long lived pointer into a memory mapped file all around the codebase, you can use functions such as pread to copy only the portions of the file that you require into memory. This is less elegant initially than using mmap, but it avoids all the problems you're otherwise going to have.

> Through some quick benchmarks for the way Sublime Merge reads git object files, pread was around ⅔ as fast as mmap on linux. In hindsight it's difficult to justify using mmap over pread, but now the beast has been tamed and there's little reason to change any more.

This has been my strategy for a long time, and it works.

The hard part is the bar for opening up is impossibly high. There's also the chicken/egg problem: someone can't get to know you without you opening up, and you can't open up until someone gets to know you.

Yes, for almost all databases, although there was a cool paper from the University of Wisconsin Madison a few years ago that showed how to design something that could work without write barriers, and under the assumption that disks don't always fsync correctly:

I present a combo case: airport + racing track :-)

At the moment, in France, the racing track of Albi, the track of which runs around the airport track, is being sued and fined for the noise. The track exists since 1960, there were only a few farms around in those days. People built beside the circuit later (building only started slowly in the 80s), and now they complain. And even now they keep on building right there, packing each empty lot with new houses!

Clickbait title isn’t really accurate. You’ve always had this ability by using P/Invokes, but it’s never been easy. It requires a lot of domain knowledge (or copy-pasta that may cause other problems) to actually get it to work. It’s also very easy to get wrong and cause big memory leaks in the unmanaged heap.

Over the years I’ve managed to get pretty good at P/Invokes to the point where I don’t bat an eye when I need to do some interop with native code. That doesn’t mean I don’t sometimes run into a particularly finicky API that requires digging deep into stuff like GC pinning, structure packing, fixed pointers, or other challenges that will grind things to a halt while I debug what’s happening. At least I’ve come to the point where I can look at unexpected API behavior and have a good intuition for what I need to do.

It sucks, a lot.

I’m really glad that there’s finally an official and reusable abstraction to make this simpler in the future.
A lot of applications are shipped as a bunch of services with included supervisor, and normally the administrator is not expected to fiddle with individual services. See for instance Gitlab.
Another option is to make Internet itself more censorship resistant.

Remember, cable is actually way more physically resistant to adversary interference in comparison to radio, satellite, or microwave towers.

You need to destroy cables, and equipment physically, unlike anything of above, and you can repair it quickly using omnipresent, off the shelf hardware. In other words, you can expend a great amount of resources sending goons to wreck thousands of DCs, and exchanges to little effect.

Physically denying regime's access to network exchanges will work.

Same with cell networks. Easy to jam locally, but even a big city is practically impossible without massive expense to physically take down cell towers. Idlib in Syria is a good example how a cutoff segment of cell network managed to stay online for a remarkable amount of time under military aggression.
I have a complex problem that needs fixing quickly. I do not want multiple people working on the problem as they are likely to interfere with each other.

So, I have a limited set of people that can fix my problem. I need to check who is available, and I'm doing this in order of my own preferences. (who I think can resolve the problem fastest)

However this is very much an edge case. I'm a proponent of just asking the question without saying hello at all.
