There is actually a catch (besides very little customer service, which is par for the course with cloud stuff anyway), but it's not really their fault. Hetzner doesn't peer with a lot of bigger players, and therefore its datacenters can have really lousy / inconsistent bandwidth and latency for people outside a relatively small area in Europe (and can occasionally have bizarre outages that are presumably related to partitions). If that's not a dealbreaker for you, then they're one of the best deals out there if you don't want to manage your own hardware and don't need really efficient access to other cloud services like S3 (which obviously work much better within Amazon's datacenters).
Some possibilities:

* Use a version control system - keep journal files in eg a github repo; control access, manage pull requests, audit changes in the usual way.

* Use multiple files - the journal can be composed from multiple files, each with different filesystem permissions/accessibility.

* Maintain files on a server, and run a web UI like hledger-web or fava, perhaps behind a login form, to give read-only or add-only access to remote users.
A couple of weeks ago I made https://playmcnow.com with the opposite idea - have many super lightweight servers for small groups of players. Instead of saying to friends “register to digital ocean, pay $5 and get a Minecraft box”, I can host thousands of worlds for them.

I made a custom minecraft proxy (similar to bungeecord but A LOT less resource intensive) that starts the real server when someone attempts to connect to it.

200 lines of go for the proxy and about as much for the http front end in django :).

Cars already use larger slower lithography sizes, which are more resilient to temperature changes, but also can be lower margin profit, since they take up more space on a standard silicon wafer. Older fabs, when spun down, may not just sit there, and may have their hardware cannibalized or at least the space repurposed for something profitable. So the old machines usually can’t just be turned on. There’s also a people-problem where that specific equipment may be understood by a select group of people and they may not be available.

There are also problems surrounding qualifications of parts and the supply chain restrictions that suppliers are held to by manufactures. So, trying to replace even just one part on a design that is locked down can be quite painful for a company. We are having many types of parts shortages at this time though, which exacerbates that experience.

Even so, a much “slower part” usually won’t have the same feature set, and may not have the same memory peripherals pinned out, requiring further qualification. Hardware changes of that level are usually done 2-3 years in advance for all of the paperwork and qualification steps. You’d have to build today-cars with standardized qualified parts from years ago. An outrageous example might be trying to stick a cassette-tape head-unit in your latest 2022 car.

Antibiotics must be used rationally. Bacteria evolve surprisingly quickly. They can and will develop resistance to the medication. Depending on which antibiotic it is, the bacteria might already be resistant. Staphylococcus aureus is ubiquitous and resistant to common penicillins. In this case, all it will do is kill off all the non-pathological bacteria that actively compete with the resistant bacteria for resources, allowing it to spread over a wider area.
So when academics casually share papers with their collaborators, are they technically exposing themselves to lawsuits? Or is being part of a research organization/university with subscriptions to these services enough to mitigate that risk?

Because Canonical has forced telemetry and ads on their users, betraying everyone's trust? They built their business empire on distributing free CDs and financing local communities (on the condition that they ONLY promote/support Ubuntu)... All the hard, user-facing trust-building work was done by volunteers who've been definitely betrayed by this greedy corporation. We could also talk about questionable technical decisions:

- X11 model is broken, people are working on Wayland to replace it, let's write an entirely solution (Mir)

- GNOME2 is working too well and people are too happy with it, let's produce a desktop environment full of bugs at least for the next 4 years (Unity) instead of fixing bugs and performance issues in GNOME3

- Package managing is just a little too much reliable, what if we forced `apt` to install random snapcraft packages instead of the intended deb packages?

To get a bit of historical perspective, Ubuntu copied what worked really well with Mandrake/Mandriva: a user-friendly user interface. But they copied it to extinguish all alternatives, which mostly worked. Nowadays, Ubuntu is only good if you can get commercial support ($$$$) to fix everything they break.
So many "artefacts" appeared in the early 20th century, many of which are now cornerstones of our understanding of various different histories, that one has to wonder just how many are fabrications that haven't been subjected to sufficient scrutiny due to their reified status. I mean, the Vinland Map was always out on the fringes, but less "revelatory" fakes could pass as real with little to no controversy, and have a significant impact on historical studies if not identified as a fake at the time of "discovery".

Ask HN: How complex are your Alertmanager routes?
Alertmanager is a system to group, filter and dispatch alerts generated by Prometheus (and potentially more systems). The flow of alerts is configured via a tree of routes, each related with a receiver (e.g., email, PagerDuty, VictorOps, webhooks).

There are few realistic examples of Alertmanager configurations out there. How complex are your routes in Alertmanager? How many levels of routes do you have? Which labels do you group alerts on? With receivers do you use?

it was quite a shock to me when I first learned a rocket engine's thrust can be PWM-controlled.

The thrust of the pistons of a steam locomotive is PWM-controlled. That's what all the elaborate levers and cranks on the side of the locomotive do. They control the "cutoff" point in the cycle, where steam is turned off. Look up "valve gear" if interested.

>I'd also wager a guess that most South African farmers are not white

Given the demographics, not an unfair guess, albeit a lazy one. No, not even close.

Land reform is a controversial topic in my country so I'm just going to TL;DR the past 5 decades and provide some links[0][1] that you are going to have to be very sceptical about (given the controversial nature of the debate).

- We have one of, if not the, highest wealth gaps in the world as a direct result of Apartheid

- Unsurprisingly, land ownership is rare

- Ergo, most of the land is owned by the wealthy class, who are the white minority.

- I am not offering an opinion on the racial aspect here, violent crime affects all South Africans equally

I find it fascinating that SciHub seems to be highlighting two large issues.

- Globalisation and the rule of law. Mostly that's a good thing. But SciHub would unlikely survive if Russia was unable to give US courts the middle finger regularly over the last decade. I am not convinced that the benefits of totalitarian regime outweighs the downsides but it is a thing

- copyright law is not patent law, science is not patents

So patents do seem to provide a way for inventors to protect a revenue stream. But the model of science is not one person or org does all the research and then exploits it for profit. So patents don't really seem to support science. And copyright has nothing to do with either.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sci-Hub

Edit: one way of looking at it is that Science has socialism built in. Patents are a means of encouraging innovation by arranging that revenue flows back to the innovator, as long as the whole market obeys the patent law and licensing conditions.

But apart from "bad" actors, the amount of licensing is vast and probably impossible to track back (you would need point of sale, bill of materials, supply chain data etc)

Science has a simpler answer - publish the innovation openly and assume that the growth in wealth will feed back into general wealth growth. Which is kinda looking like "everyone shares".

So it suggests a singularity style step function - when / if something like UBI works, science will have a massive boost as the feedback loop is not mediated through university grants etc.
Thanks!

It is a good question to ask. You say the FAQ has addressed it... I guess it was not convincing ? (If you remember where, please point me to it..)

PTA tools, some of them at least, can scale well from beginner-level single entry accounting, or even zero entry "accounting" (just a list of dated event descriptions), to fully general double entry accounting that can model any financial event. I always encourage people to start out simple. What usually happens is they learn and become more interested and more sophisticated as time goes on.

So I would say one group of people this appeals to is people who want to get their hands dirty with Double Entry Bookkeeping, with the support of a lively and enthusiastic community, in order to understand it better.

Another is people who are expert with text editors, scripting and programming and want an accounting system where they can bring these skills and insights to bear.

Another is people who want total control and privacy of their financial records.

Another is people who want their financial data to be accessible and usable for a very long time (even without software, if it came to that).
The author of firefly claims to do double entry but it's just not true. I quickly gave up when I realized that I could not input a refund on my credit card account. It doesn't allow positive transactions. The only suggested workaround by the author himself was to edit the original transaction. Firefly is probably useful for many people but to me it was too opinionated and not natural to use. I moved to Gnucash.

That is an interesting question without a good answer. As I understand it (I am far from being an expert), there are sometimes specific exemptions to allow that sharing. However, generally speaking, I think it is a gray area. The journals would surely be shooting themselves in the foot, though, if they tried to sue their contributors. Academics would bring down hell on any journal that tried that. Moreover, it is not clear to me that they would win as it seems to be a customary practice even if it is not an explicitly allowed one. Finally, sharing a single paper might get research or academic exemptions as you aren't copying the whole journal issue. I doubt any publisher wants to go down that road. They are probably better off with the law remaining vague.
I'm really curious what this means in the larger context: does it refute the fundamental evidence that Norsemen reached the New World before Colombus, or is there enough other evidence that this is no big deal?
From the site:

> All email services require some sort of authentication to send the emails on your behalf. That makes it a really bad idea to use them directly from client-side – revealing your password or your secret keys will allow anyone to send emails on your behalf.

EmailJS keeps your authentication details on the server-side, and the client-side code just triggers a predefined email template, similarly to how any client-server application is working.

also,

> Additionally, we've also developed various tools to prevent abuse – for instance, we have IP based rate limits to prevent bots from spamming, the whitelist of origin, and also support reCAPTCHA tests to make sure that a human is sending the email (although it's up to the developer to turn this feature on).
The widget's production and delivery has nothing to do with the receptionist, though.

Most likely the widget is being ordered online, and, since everyone knows the factory is closed on Friday, it'll be made and shipped on Monday, and delivered on Tuesday/ Wednesday, regardless of whether it was ordered Thursday or Friday.

If the factory has encountered a backlog, the mechanism for worker overtime or a 2nd shift still exists.
Sharing with collaborators may constitute fair use. I wouldn't put one of my own papers on my website, though, for example, for something that isn't published as open access.
> If it that isn't 'safest', what do you think is safer (and practical)?

Distributing trust is safer and practical. A single, centralized server will always be vulnerable, whatever defenses in depth you deploy. Standardization and decentralization is more valuable in the long run for privacy/security than any customized efforts.

That's what allows us these past years to do PGP over email over Tor onions, transparently via onionMX SRV records (+ a local cache/mapping to prevent lying DNS). Meanwhile, Signal still requires a unique identifier (phone number) to operate and mandates usage of AWS and other privacy-hostile providers to reach their server, and there's nothing we can do about it because they control the entire infrastructure. Some resources on that:

Distros like Ubuntu choose a kernel and some package versions at the time they release, e.g. 20.04 (latest LTS) and they don't receive major version updates until the next release.

This means that while rolling distros have the latest kernel and packages within days or weeks, Ubuntu et al can be several versions behind, even months/years behind.

"Out of date" packages is a stability choice, it means they're more mature and hopefully, better tested, hence Ubuntu having LTS, Long Term Stable, meaning it can be used in important places (like production servers) and a certain level of stability can be expected.

Arch pretty much makes sure a package update builds and then releases it, it's up to the user to make sure it's compatible with other packages.

Manjaro, I believe does _some_ testing but can still have package conflicts.

Pop, Ubuntu etc do more testing and verification, and you can be reasonably certain updates will be compatible.

GoDaddy is nominally ending service for violations of a ToS, presumably regarding storage of third-party personal information.

Let's assume it's false cover for refusing support due to political viewpoint.

There are investment funds which specially avoid investing in, say, tobacco companies, or fossil fuel companies, or (historically) apartheid South Africa, sometimes explicitly doing so for political reasons.

It seems that the trivial solution for GoDaddy would be to say they are an "ethical" company which doesn't support forced childbirth proponent organizations, etc. .

That would be an explicit rejection of supporting 'all user content' and thus avoid regulations meant for a 'publisher/carrier dichotomy'.

Any argument which say that should be illegal seems also like an argument for why Ravelry can't decide for themselves to reject obviously non-knitting content divisive to the site.

Notes for an Annotation SDK
Depends how you play. If you plan out your factory ahead of time with a ratio calculator and only build what you need, then a shortage just causes a corresponding shortage in the output that goes away when the input is fixed.

A lot of Factorio newbies play with a "Spot bottleneck. Increase production. Repeat" mindset, though. The bullwhip effect absolutely shows up here, particularly if you're sharing intermediate products on a main bus. You start constructing purple circuits; that means your red circuit production is no longer adequate and you've starved blue science. You make more red circuit factories; now you're not constructing enough green circuits, and your whole factory has ground to a halt, but the red circuit buffer is filling up. You increase green circuit production; now you're starving the rest of your factory of iron and your steel production is lagging, dropping purple science production.
