Don't use whatsapp, instagram, snapchat, tiktok, facebook, etc. and you are missing out on a lot of social life when interacting with younger generations. Which can be your peers.

Same effect can happen for this platform as well. Eventually in order to have a social life you'll have to connect to some future network using brain implants so that they can ensure your thoughts are "safe" and "genuine".
Just because there are similar mechanisms doesn’t mean they haven’t been improved on in some way. Lawyers and courts are notoriously inefficient if this implementation achieves efficiencies, even if the mechanisms are analogous, seems like progress.
I tried that on both AWS and on some super obscure (or so I thought), $2/mo Albanian VPS host. Both were blocked immediately.
Sure you can, but you’re not allowed to mention that it’s cheaper if you buy it elsewhere.
I’ve got a synology NAS that comes with a photos app that’s easy to use.
For a moment I felt that perhaps I should add clarification about how I'm not trying to dismiss the cloud solutions (as in the notorious Dropbox comment), but instead am attempting to provide one of the many libre setups to answer the parent question, but in the end didn't get around to it.

My time probably isn't as valuable as that of the many people here (about 5x less earnings on average in Latvia when compared to places like US), therefore it definitely makes sense for me to upskill myself in any way possible, especially if I get usable software out of it.

But if you take the container based approach, there is almost no administration to be done:

First, install Docker: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/#installation-methods (about 10 minutes, varies by distro)
Personally, i use Docker Swarm, but that's just a few more init commands and Docker Compose works as well: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/ (about 5 minutes)
Then, set up something like Caddy for a reverse proxy: https://hub.docker.com/_/caddy (probably 20 minutes)
And then, set up Nextcloud: https://hub.docker.com/_/nextcloud (probably 20 minutes)
Lastly, install KeePass from the previously mentioned links and put the password DB in the synced folder (probably 10 minutes)
Ngrok, DNS challenges etc. might be necessary depending on the setup, but are not usually required for most regular VPSes.
Backups and updates should also be taken care of, but full VPS backups are mostly standard and you can just bump the container tag every month.

As for the UI, i agree in principle, but not in this case. KeePass has good UI and I'd argue that you don't need a team of UI and UX developers to keep track of some usernames and passwords (and maybe certificate files).

Furthermore, I'd argue that most of the cloud offerings are actually problematic because not all of them let you download the data as files. In contrast, KeePass works with files (much like SQLite) and therefore, if you'd prefer to use SD cards or Samba or NFS or whatever instead of VPSes to somewhat decrease the attack surface, or simply use tools that you know, then you can do that. Want Syncthing instead of Nextcloud? Go ahead!

I'm putting emphasis on this because the line of thinking that we need web SaaS platforms for everything is dangerous - it makes you think that the problem is more complicated than it actually is. Whereas in reality some people probably get away with using password protected spreadsheets (don't do this). The problem is complicated only from a security perspective. That's it.

The cloud solutions excel at convenience and things like browser plugins and it's good that they're offering options for the less technically inclined folk, but they're far from the only option.
Everyone I asked understood the potential for misuse it introduces.
It’s not. It’s still 2%. That’s what percentage are for.
Funny how that 30% cut applying to subscriptions only rolled out years after the store was already present, and apps with subscriptions had already been for sale for years.

If you want to make a case that the cut is needed to run the Apple Pay network (which IIRC when introduced is when they started charging for all purchases through it) and make sure that runs correctly, then fine. But the whole point here is that companies want to opt out of that network, or to clearly communicate that Apple's extra features cost them and they are passing that cost on to the consumer if they choose to pay it (either pay through linked Apple payment account with a higher cost subscription, or pay direct to the company in a different manner).

What this is, very clearly, is Apple limiting information allowed to be displayed to customers at time of purchase if it's on an Apple device. Sine free markets only work as well as the information available to consumers, this is anti-free market, and anti-consumer.

The only reason to not provide information to consumers about their choices is when you are trying to make them make a choice they wouldn't make if they had all the information. Any argument about doing it for their own good falls flat in the face of the fact you could just give them more information about why it's better for them. If they still choose not to use it, the only respectful way to treat that is that those people weighed their choices and decided what was best for them. Anything else is extremely anti-consumer, and when it's multiple companies colluding together to do so, we have very well known laws against it.
They weren’t protesters, look at their badges, they were press and poll watchers being taken out. There’s video of this, with them cheering inside the room.

If you read the article on “fortifying the election for the proper outcome” they straight up say why they do this.

The general point isn’t what you or I know or believe. That image doesn’t spread any confidence. In a democracy, all citizens need to trust an election to allow for a peaceful transition of power. Basically, everyone has to be like, “okay, fine my guy lost”

To accomplish that anyone should be able to observe and inspect or its not a democracy. One party doesn’t feel they can observe and knows they can’t inspect the results
How scary is the thought of going back, if only for a short visit?
The main 1password extension for chrome stopped working with the standalone app, but the original extension is here under a different name: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/1password-extensio...

I use it dozens of times a day and it works great. It's not as nice as the modern one that works with the subscription/hosted service but it'll certainly be better than what you're currently doing to muddle through.
Yeah, so it would also have the advantage of discouraging money turning from a useful active medium of exchange to a passive "resource" to be hoarded and have rent extracted from -- yet another point in its favour, as I saw it.

My initially unquestioned assumption was that since the money in your bank account is denominated in the same currency as cash, it would automatically lose value at the same rate as cash. Can't recall exactly when I realised that the presence of money in bank accounts might influence the value of cash in stead; still in my teens, I think. As I recall, I started speculating about whether my system would have to even things out between cash and bank accounts by obliging the banks to continuously adjust your balance down, or something. (Can't recall if transferring the reduction to the state as tax, or just msking it go "POOF!" and disappear.)

Next thing, I probably realised there are yet other types of holdings than cash and savings accounts, and lots of other complications, so abandoned the idea. And then I guess I grew out of my teens.
That's because the copycat, in the first interaction, works exactly the same as the cooperator. And the outcome of that first interaction becomes more important if there are less of them.

The problem I see only pops up when there are more interactions - when the player knows the other will cheat, but still decides to cooperate.
Google got rid of that syntax about a decade ago, when they were trying to make Google Plus a thing. (As I recall, they wanted to reserve it for G+ usernames, like using @ for Twitter or Instagram.) I just checked and it looks like they still haven't brought it back.

They "new" syntax is to surround the desired term with double quotes. But of course quoting was already used for searching phrases, so autosuggestions stopped working for phrase searches. Progress!
> but are YOU paying for it. If not - someone else is the revenue source

even if you are paying for it, it's quite possible that they also have other revenue sources that conflict with your interests.
> It’s important to remember that when you start from scratch there is absolutely no reason to believe that you are going to do a better job than you did the first time. First of all, you probably don’t even have the same programming team that worked on version one, so you don’t actually have “more experience”. You’re just going to make most of the old mistakes again, and introduce some new problems that weren’t in the original version.

I never liked groups. I feel like once too many people join, everyone gets lost in the group and people stop participating. What do you think about a 1-1 buddy system? You can post what kind of founder you want to buddy up with (in your case, founders with actual revenue) and both of you simply check up on each other. If one of you stops participating, you can go find another buddy.
I'm fairly happy of the OwnCloud/NextCloud alternative, but they're not very well-engineered products (although they got better over the last years). Definitely much better than Dropbox on Linux though, which is clearly a third-class citizen for the Dropbox company.

The NC client (and I assume also OC) can still generate conflicts even on a single machine, when the network/server connection is not stable. I also remember the Nginx default settings for OwnCloud being suboptimal.

Long ago, the NC/OC client was slow to sync, but now it's snappy.
The problem is that this bill forces freedom, thus simply moving choice further down the chain.

Ask HN: Best Way to Develop a MVP?
Well the solutions that are screamed at me involve me giving up my car, my gas range, most of the electronics I find enjoyable, any and all non-essential activities, traveling, etc. In addition to moving into a city with overcrowding public transit (you think it's bad now?) with rapidly increasing crime, more expensive _everything_ is just not something that really gets me in the mood to just say "YEAH, LET'S DO IT! Wait, why am I the only one doing it and suffering?"

I don't think forcing people into suffering (because it is) is a very appealing argument.
“Resemble”, in the same way that a cropped photo resembles the uncropped original.
This is a shocking explanation, as it doesn't seem compatible with the oft-detailed explanation of these region locking mechanisms as being more about carving up contracts and extracting more value. As an example (from a year ago, before Paramount+, which has been confusing), you can watch Star Trek: Discovery in the United States... burn only on CBS All Access. Netflix managed to score the European rights to stream that, where CBS doesn't have a brand or any other particularly-interesting-to-that-audience content. Netflix thereby isn't allowed to show Star Trek: Discovery to people in the US, but I don't see how any explanation about that could be tied to pressing charges for piracy?
Spending a lot of my time abroad, I want to agree. But the vast majority of those that 100M are the global poor being shipped to the global rich for quasi-indentured servitude. Those folks aren’t worried about Rick’n’Morty S5 being blocked, and even if they are, they’re poor so who cares. /s

I suspect you won't get an answer because they are probably not contractually obliged to go to this length. I doubt these contracts would go into such a deeply tech savvy specification.

I'm trying to make a simple statement: the claim that TikTok is the same as other platforms is idiotic (if it were so, it wouldn't reach the #1 spot in spite of not being around a few years ago).

Logic dictates that TikTok must be doing something differently, and doing it right.

I am trying to explain what that something is.

I am upset because as long as people here don't get what makes TikTok unique and successful, there will be no US-made alternative to TikTok. Which sucks, because it is a Chinese spying/influence machine too.

Exhibit 1: Instagram, which is now imitating TikTok, poorly, with it's video feed. Literally all content I see there is TikTok reposts.

Exhibit 2: YouTube's... whatever. Dead in the water.

Facebook and Google don't get it. HackerNews doesn't get it. And as long as that goes on, y'all are just handing our youth off to the PRC's influence.

Did I make my point clear?

I hope I made my comment negative enough for your preference, but I'll be glad to elaborate.
That's a fair point! But depending on your setup, it's also possible to replicate the password database file to every single device of yours on the network.

Currently doing just that, if any of my servers go down, i can still access all of my passwords on my desktop, on my laptop, on my tablet, on my phone or on my backup servers. Of course, provided that i have KeePass or a mobile app installed and know the master password.

Oh and I do manual backups to SD cards just to be sure every month. I'm not sure how I'd do that with a cloud service where in a sense their entire company (and my network connection to it) is a single point of failure. If my internet connection goes down, how would I log in to my selfhosted software in my homelab over LAN, without being able to access the passwords?
Last time I checked you also had install some their plugin for mail.app that is setup with Apple ID account - that was deal breaker for me.
I don’t think this is going to last forever but I am trying to take advantage of this remote Pax Romana as long as possible by cramming my big life events in now while my stress and job time commitments are low.

I’m certain that either wages will be depressed for remote workers, the jobs will be sent offshore, or companies will recall everyone but there’s a window to be taken advantage of right now. I’ll certainly point my kid toward a less volatile industry at any rate.

I totally empathise with the thought "I know this, so how can it be difficult to know". The only thing to do is to continually learn new things, and become the BEST at that.
1. automation. Write code that removes humans effort.

2. do hard things. Solve problems other people are incapable or unwilling to solve.

3. practice. Rinse and repeat until you get it right. Be insanely persistent.

4. humility. There is no secret sauce. There is no magic toolset, framework, or assistant to do your job for you or cheer for you. Toil in silence and repeatedly fail until you get it correct. That pinnacle of success is the expectation not an achievement.
Yes. All the parts you need to build cubesats are available commercially, and as long as you follow the cubesat spec then there are multiple launch vendors to choose from.
Someone recently pointed out that we have a "free market" in cryptocurrency, and are now spending years discovering why we have regulations, laws, contracts, courts etc.

I love the idea of a digital native currency. But I also love financial protections that have grown up over thousands of years.

The mints of each country could solve that tomorrow (is there a FOSS blockchain already that does a "we know there are 1 trillion Euros in existence, here are the tokens, no need for mining"?)
I wonder about migration from plugins to that new core feature. I hope it doesn't break anything.
I remember meeting with KimDotCom lawyer a few years ago in SF. A very flamboyant-person. One of those guys who makes a big impression on you from the first sight.

Fun story about MegaUpload.

I once lived in Argentina back in the MegaUpload days. At the time, piracy was the norm (not only in Argentina), the gov didn't care, and people where selling pirated, burned DVD on the streets. This was a downtown, a high transited area.

Then MegaUpload started to grow like fire, and I remember that starting at 4 pm, the internet would get awfully slow. As people get off their jobs to download the latest movie or episode out there. Then PopcornTime, and things got even worst. Cant find the stat, but I remember something along the line of 60% of Buenos Aires traffic being MegaUpload's at peak time (4-10pm), which caused a lot of controversy at the time.

Old days...

It does a client-side guess based on vowels, and then hits the server for an authoritative version. The server has a word:syllables map I derived from the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary.

In the "segue" case, it looks like the dictionary lists two pronounciations, one as 'seg', so it uses the lesser of the two. Not sure that pronounciation is valid, though.

Thanks to you and frosted-flakes, I pushed a fix for the back button issue - good catch, I appreciate it.
In my country the passport is issued to those who were previously infected (and diagnosed with an official test) as well, so it shows you are "known to have some level of immunity". I feel that's fair as it applies to both people who were infected and those who were vaccinated.

Where it gets confusing though is it's also issued to people who had a recent PCR negative test (last 48 hours), so those people are "known unlikely to be infectious", but that doesn't apply to the previous groups, and the statement of the previous groups doesn't apply to this group.

This is not about those platforms in general; it is about the likes of BBC iPlayer app on those platforms. Only the latter require a TV licence.

It is my understanding that, for example, watching BBC programmes on BritBox (a subscription-based streaming service from BBC and ITV) does not require a TV licence. [1]

A relatively recent discovery points to macroscopic multicellular life as early as 2.1B years ago (1), right after the Great Oxidization Event. We only have fossils of a single specie. Given the complexity of the specimens, it's unlikely to have been the only specie in existence. The rest of the biota is probably lost to time.

The fossil record for Ediacarian biota (pre-Cambrian age) is also very sparse. It's only after the evolution of endo/exoskeletons that we start to get proper fossil records
