I’ve been in lock down in a while (haven’t we all?). One of my major past times is to play games with my friends on Discord, and after a year we’ve ran out of games to play and started to look at classic games. Those games (namely SWAT4) are old enough to not support Steam multiplayer. However installing and setting up a VPN is quite a non-trivial process for non-techies.

So I took some time and wrote this application that uses Wintun and Discord SDK to encapsulate and transport IP packets (i.e. a layer 3 VPN running on Discord infra). It works reasonably well with my friends so I want to share it here.
I realize the FSF itself, being a foundation, isn't the correct answer (been a member for years) but a related for-"profit" outfit, run ethically, seems only a modicum of management talent out of reach.

My point is that the vaccum here is astounding.
Same problem. Why would a business use a product that they don't know how long it's going to be around? They probably have to spend thousands of dollars to train their employees to use the new product, and if something changes (since it's beta), they need to again waste everyones time to explain the changes, and if the product goes under they have to find an alternative on short notice, and again train everyone...

I just don't see this happening, unless the new product has a massive value proposition...

Yeah, something similar happened to me @ Scaleway (so, the part before the rebrand/merger/whatever they did). Incredible price increase for my usecase. Even with the limited 25% discount, it grew out of hand. I'm in the process of migrating to Hetzner, but unfortunately some stuff is IP tied and it takes some time to fix everything.

Even before that, the constant changing of plans for Cloud was anoying. One of the reasons I chose Scaleway was because they promised easy upgrade/increase of resources as I needed it on the VPS. But then they discontinued the line I was using and I had to create a completely new one anyway. Then I had to move that one to the higher priced models again. A lot of fuss for something I would just like to keep running as long as possible with as little involvment.
> and letting them retain a lot of independence

Except they misteriously stop releasing Linux versions of their games.
.... why, though?
User services only really make sense for user stuff that requires more complex set up and tear down than start foo and kill it when I log out.

Creating a user service per single line exec foo is extra ceremony.

I have nvidia hardware so sway makes no sense for me to use.

Also it's developer is extremely abrasive.

Furthermore a lot on that list isn't an even trade.

ydotool is a poor unmaintained replacement, making your own custom layout is a lot more work than xmodmap.

On net if you don't have mixed dpi so far as I can see you aren't actually gaining anything.

The best sales pitches I've seen are almost as good as what you already have but on wayland.

Is there anyway that sway does better than i3?

You can't really compare an ARM AWS vCPU to a bare-metal Ryzen 9 core though.

And the AWS offer is missing storage and bandwidth, which are extremely expensive if you want something comparable.
How are you going to change those decade old binaries to work with Wayland??? At least if you don't throw X11, those decade old binaries still work. If you throw X11, they will not!

You need to put in some type of kludge which is the reason this article exists in the first place (e.g. copy paste will work randomly).

And if the toolkit is linked dynamically, you are very lucky... Not to mention that a more realistic scenario is that you have to update a 20 year old toolkit to support multiple DPIs, in which case it is much easier if you just have to read the property from a different place rather than having to target a different display protocol entirely. You made the program vendors life easier at the cost of making yours harder...
My external monitor is 3440x1440. Equivalent HiDPI monitors didn't exist. Perhaps maybe they do now, but the pricing would be prohibitive.
So, I'm wondering, why doesn't google supply us with a desktop in the cloud, you can do whatever you want with it, but it has a nice graphics card so you can install steam on it if you want or origin or whatever. You download the game there and play that way. Publishers can't stop that can they?

Not sure why this is downvoted. Almost all (if not all?) consumer motherboards will drop the 2 x16 slots to x8 mode if you insert anything in the second slot. So using a PCIe riser for NVME SSDs means your GPU will get less bandwidth. This may or may not be noticeable, if you are running PCIe 4 the x8 will definitely not bottleneck the GPU, but x8 PICe 3 lanes probably will, especially for cards with less VRAM.

But that's not what happens. That's why publishers are not porting games to Linux. That's why many console games aren't released on PC. That's why most publishers didn't bother with Stadia to begin with.

There are real costs to supporting yet another platform and if you don't believe the platform will generate sales for you, you're not going to expand the effort.

> And offence has an apparently permanent advantage over defence with MIRVs, as it will cost more to shoot down a rocket than to launch it, so missile defence doesn’t work as a strategy to exit MAD.

But not shooting a missile down is massively, massively more expensive. If the missile scare on Hawaii had been real and North Korea had launched a single nuclear missile and the US had shot it down, do you think anyone would have cared about the cost?

Even if it is, say, twice the cost to shoot down a missile as to launch it the US can afford more than twice the cost the Russians and much more than North Korea.
So the victims get a pay increase for the next 5 years, after which their pay will go down again?
It's not unexplainable if there is an explanation, obviously.

Choice paralysis between CL and Clojure
I think I'm further hurting myself by asking this, but putting unnecessary fanboyism aside, which do you think (and why) is the best choice between these two to learn in 2021?

I've already had a taste of enlightening Lisp (Scheme) via SICP and actually feel more capable of understanding concepts that were previously unclear to me, however I'd like some practical reasons for choosing, since neither of these languages can help me much in finding a new job... So it would be a matter of confining them to my personal use.

I'm fairly proficient with Python and Go, plus I use Emacs a little bit for everything, though my Elisp is very basic.
CL sounds like the logical choice because of SLIME, and Clojure sounds like the choice to avoid because of the JVM and the fact that I already know Go that plays in the same domain... But I'd like to hear some other opinions.

Thanks to all in advance

Hi stefano,

I was wondering if you had any junior devops positions? Or any opportunity for people that have experience with a cloud provider but no production experience?
Pretty poor effort response on my part, but whenever I see a claim about a drug doing anything along the lines of "balancing neurotransmitters" I think immediately that its bs. There are probably studies that confirm some people with ADHD symtoms have less dopamine or whatever, but how each of the stims result in increases of these things is simply not specific and targetted enough to make such a claim as 'balancing'.
All the media is equal. They report when there are is something important, where important usually means a lot of death. (And in sometimes zero cases for a long time, but death sells more.)

For data, I use https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?tab=tab...

I use a window of 1 week, because there is too much daily variation (nobody likes to fill paperwork on weekends).

Sweden is now in the 22th position in death per million. In two weeks, it will be in the 24th position assuming the simplified model were death rate remain constant. (This is an useful approximation for one of two weeks. Using this approximation for longer periods is a bad idea.)

> what about how many are in extreme poverty?

This is a simple and knowable answer. And it doesn’t change the facts the sound bite is based on. Extreme poverty is lower now as a percentage. There are fewer born into extreme poverty now, etc.

You can also pick other cutoffs and they are improving as well. Obviously the goal is to raise people higher than $3/day, but this is just an existing measure that’s getting better.

It’s frustrating to me when people nitpick unimportant details as if they were significant.

I don’t think anyone who established the extreme poverty cutoff thinks that it is the end goal, or that $3/day is as good as $30/day. So everyone agrees that 10x is better. But there are measures for extreme poverty because it’s a problem and needs to be addressed differently to get people from $.01/day to $3/day differently than interventions for $3 to $30 (and $30 to $100).

Pinker’s book, Angels of our Better Nature, goes into this quite a bit. And there’s a lot of global health primary sources to also help answer your questions.
Heh; seems very similar to a project I've been working on :)

> people were looting and setting fires.

It's been said[1] that looting and property destruction should be seen through the eyes of an individual who decries society as illegitimate. If an individual feels that they have been violated or destroyed by the social system, what obligation does that individual have to maintain and uphold the social structure that they feel wronged them?

A more direct interpretation of _sticking it to the man_, for sure: the argument being that outside of a riot, one's personal outrage at _the man_ would be swiftly, albeit unjustifiably, punished - but in the middle of a riot, one can wreck... hundreds of dollars of damage to major corporate conglomerates: theirs is a modest penalty for perceived violations of the social contract, but a thousand times more satisfying to the perpetrator.

...or something.

The graphics backend is really not such a big cost for most games, especially with existing cross-platform engines. Also the grahics APIs are really not that different as they all model the same GPUs. DirectX vs. OpenGL had some annoying things but most of them are only a problem when you have to translate and can't modify the calling code at all. DirectX 12 vs. Vulkan is even less of a difference.
IMO, the author should seek redress to the fullest extent of the law. Government overreach, especially in judicial matters, should not be tolerated and allowing them to occur, even if the consequence of that is "a paedophile going free" (a result I find unlikely; if the authorities involved are willing to break one set of laws to gather evidence they don't really need, there's no reason to believe that they will not continue to pursue the guy after this evidence is rendered invalid)is an example of the slow erosion of civil liberties by acquiescence to the subtle extension of law enforcement powers. This is, again in my opinion, a more critical and chronic problem than the, admittedly individually more terrible but certainly more isolated, actual crime referenced here.

I'm interested in the idea of the warrant canary, however. My own research into it has led me to believe that while they are supported by organizations like the EFF, that support may be more ideologically based than legally sound, and should the government take issue with their use, the author could have found himself in serious trouble for violating FISA (a case of breaking the intent of the law, not the letter; while there is a great deal of faith in the legal system to abnegate the former in favor of the latter, I would still be hesitant to tweak it's nose in such a manner). Are there any legal experts here that could weigh in?

I had a similar issue (two years ago as well!) and support was pretty disappointing. It was a self hosted email server, all content just vanished.

The only alternative they gave to me was to upgrade to another type of machine, as the previous one was not available anymore. It was noticeably more expensive of course.

So in the end they had a failure and I ended up having to pay more (I found another solution at another provider)

Interesting. When I take Concerta (54mg) it makes me unable to sleep for the next 12 hours.

It doesn't make me any more awake/less tired than I normally would be, and I can lie down and kind of zone out, but I never completely drift off. Pseudo-meditation is the closest I can get to sleeping when I'm on Concerta.

Few notable things that I didn't realise with Modern SSD.

1. Extremely Power Efficient. They have come a long way with idle power and power management. Even on the Desktop where Energy efficiency isn't much of a concern. There used to be a time where SSD are 1W+ even when idling.

2. The amount of idle time, so these IO traces shown most of the time SSD isn't doing anything at all.

3. Read Latency are now extremely good. We are talking about sub 100us and sub 200us in 99th percentile. To the point Optane doesn't provide any meaningful differences in consumer usage. We will find out soon when Billy mentioned he will be testing Optane PX5800, I cant wait to see that. I should also note before someone jump in about Optane's Random Read Write advantage in QD1, I still dont believe it matters in consumer usage beyond the current NAND SSD performances.

I think with coming PCI-E 5.0 Drive we have a roadmap that has pretty much "solved" the performance category if we haven't already done so. What I want to see is slower, but large capacity SSD that is more affordable. But apart from some unforeseeable market condition, I dont see anything on the roadmap or forecast that could bring us 4TB SSD for sub $200 within the next 4 years. We seems to be entering the end of the S Curve where improvement ( cost reduction ) will be slower.
I think limited missile defence is sensible for dealing with accidental firings or countries with tiny stockpiles like North Korea.

But it isn’t 2x. Try 10-20x. Modern MIRV’s can have ten warheads, and it is also substantially more difficult to target a moving missile than to hit a launch silo. Tests so far have not been anywhere near the accuracy needed to confidently guarantee you could shoot down a first strength. You need 100% performance, they’re getting less than 50%, for ideal conditions.

The economics just don’t work with a 20x cost gap. What’s more the attempt to built a unilateral defence system would encourage a massive arms race.

This describes some of the mechanics of certain medications, most obviously methylphenidate. Its a bit much to say it restores normal function. Theres not evidence of that. The other stimulants are also much more general and result in a cascade of effects accross multiple systems in the brain. If there is a normalizing effect it is coincidental and has not been adequetely proven. This doesnt stop drugs from being approved for use from what Ive observed. Its statistics based and less about neuroscience.
This is indicative of glibc's bad design more than anything else.

stat(2) is not a single syscall. The changes are exposed as new, isolated syscalls (sys_stat, sys_newstat, sys_stat64), with glibc switching internally between them as it sees fit, surprising developers in the process.

This makes stat a great example of the syscall being easier to work with, more stable and more reliable than the glibc wrapper.
