New Zealand wants everyone to take a covid vaccine every 6 months.

Oregon wants to make mask mandates permanent.

Thousands of vaccine injured. How many athletes are dying from the vax? Lots and it's on camera.

The way back to normalcy is to take back our freedom and end the covid tyranny. Then we hold the participants responsible with Nuremberg 2.0 trials. Not just politicians, but Bill Gates, Fauci, drug companies, doctors, nurses, Big Tech, Big Media, etc.

I don't know how we'll ever be able to trust the medical profession ever again after this

Not OP, but I was wondering why use spiped instead of simply sshd with passwords disabled. If anyone else was curious, this is what I found on the spiped website:

"You can also use spiped to protect SSH servers from attackers: Since data is authenticated before being forwarded to the target, this can allow you to SSH to a host while protecting you in the event that someone finds an exploitable bug in the SSH daemon -- this serves the same purpose as port knocking or a firewall which restricts source IP addresses which can connect to SSH."

Is there a way for me to run my current Fedora install as a VM in Windows? Basically I just want the simplest solution, which I guess is for me to ssh into my eventual Linux laptop. But since I don't know when I'll be getting that, I'm wondering what are the pain points of using Fedora through VMWare Workstation. I used VirtualBox when I was first trying out Ubuntu, and it felt noticeably less smooth. Note my main monitor is 1440p 165Hz, so I don't know if that affected things.
> The simplicity of the code — about 6000 lines of C code in total, of which under 2000 are specific to spiped (the rest is library code originating from kivaloo and Tarsnap) — makes it unlikely that spiped has any security vulnerabilities.

spiped might be great, but I found the above on their website. The fact that it has 6k lines of code does not mean that it lacks security vulnerabilities... at all. It does not make it that unlikely either. You still have to audit it. Less LOC just means it will consume less time to do that, but it is of no guarantee that it is more unlikely to have security vulnerabilities.

Plus they could have used better crypto.
>Pick it up and place it on a pedestal labelled "release" to deploy it to production.

Or I could simply `git push` and let the CI/CD pipeline take over. That's 9 keystrokes, including the ENTER.

And I don't have to wear an expensive, fragile and usually heavy contraption on my head that has to be recharged every 2-3h for this to work either.

Let’s suppose we won’t hit 100% vaccination rates, for whatever reason. Are we doing this lockdown thing forever, then?
Man he would have ok be moving insane amounts of greens powder to get the “largest” fine. Market small is way to small - non comparable.
Here's a paper from the Lancet showing minimal difference in transmission, as measured by secondary attack rate; 25% for vaccinated and 38% for unvax: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3.... Is Lancet fake news?
Let me source OP to clarify where my statements are coming from.

> What if the actual reality is what you experience during a trip, and what we consider reality is some kind of trip due to the lack of a molecule that allows you to fully experience reality?

So, keeping our conversation on-topic, sober reality is a place of scientific validation. The leaves on a tree are not breathing, they are simply blowing in the wind. We know this because photosynthesis does not require movement.

The edges of your door may be fuzzy on a molecular level, but they are not expanding and contracting every few seconds, we know this because wooden doors do not have those transitive properties.

Acid, and therefore a hallucination, is altering your ability to perceive reality. It is not "unlocking" any form of reality that you cannot normally perceive. It might be fun to think about a ton of "what-ifs" but it is not as metaphysical as it is made out to be.

The one profound aspect of tripping is to identify that your perception can be altered. This has a litany of positive mental affects that should be studied and prescribed.
Personally I think the path is countries which have a high vaccination level need to stop implementing restrictions whilst making mitigations such as increasing healthcare capacity (which they should have done 18 months ago but many didn't), paying for rapid testing, enabling PTO for people who think they are sick, sensible mask mandates, etc...

These countries need to lead the way to accepting we've waited for vaccines & prophylactics so that we have tools to use to combat this but there is now a heightened risk that we have to live with and make reasonable mitigations against.

My assumption at this point is: probably, but the immune system is complicated so nobody's really sure.
These are my solutions also, I do have a working Fedora in WSL2 (using the manual method of installation), but I still keep using the VMware Workstation. At this point, although the GUI is running, I'm only using it as a "remote ssh" from my VSCode and everything works like a charm.

Certainly WSL2 integration has some benefits, but I'm not really using any of them at this point. My Windows terminal sshs to the Linux VM, my VSCode terminal opens in the Linux VM and everything feels fine. That covers my development requirements pretty well and rest of the stuff I do with native Windows tools (and I rarely need to cross-access files).
I'm always taken aback when I hear Americans casually call each other "spaz" (or use it as a verb, often literally meaning "twitchy"). I'm not sure if it derives from "spastic" or just shares its etymology but my non-native brain always reads it as "Spast" or "Spasti", which is a fairly blatant ableist slur in my native language referring to cerebral palsy.

I don't see this in practice. Does this actually happen?
It's not really normalcy if one still has to be concerned about catching covid and/or passing it on to vulnerable relatives though.
Has there been any refinement on a mission statement for it?

If I recall correctly from the mailing list when this was first proposed, someone had a use case for custom libc but extending it to a general purpose libc diminished properties that would distinguish it from (e.g.) musl-libc.
Because people keep flagging every HN post that dares to challenge the "scientific consensus", proving that said 'consensus' is not scientific at all.
Good question. Clearly the square root has to be there for a reason, but I agree it makes the scheme not scale-invariant. And the original L-M is also not scale-invariant so there must be some reason for this.

There may be stability issues with perfect scale invariance. You don't want to drop your identity matrix term when the gradient gets too small; that would defeat the purpose of the L-M regularization.

Regularization in general tends to make things less symmetric and invariant. It's kind of a necessary evil.

And you're right, the H plays an important role in keeping the scheme relatively efficient. It is typically adjusted dynamically in L-M schemes (see AdaN and AdaN+ algorithms in the paper).

Many think Epstein was connected to intelligence. Evidence includes making videos of his guests having sex with young girls, a classic intelligence entrapment technique used by every spy agency in the world, a large supply of diamonds and Austrian passport to make a quick escape.
It's funny how you complain about the quality of the original article and then bring up your cited one, which is so obviously biased it's not even funny.

Just to pick up on the income mobility. The US is one of the worst countries regarding income mobility while at the same time one of the ones implementing the most "trickle down" economic policies [1]. The contrast is particularly stark when comparing to the Scandinavian countries, which get often called "socialist" in the US. So by your own metric, trickle down does not work, because it leads to worse outcomes.

lmfao. the gene therapy masquerading as a vaccine doesn't work and governments don't like to give up power.

If "online" socialization is here to stay, then learning to navigate them is an important social skill. Keeping young people off social media won't help them later in life.

One of the oft-touted figures was that “thirty-two percent of teen girls said that when they felt bad about their bodies, Instagram made them feel worse.”

My hot take is: "That's probably about right." Given the sorry state of physical education, fitness, and the fact that 60%+ of adults are obese or overweight, the fact that 1/3 of people on Instagram look at other people and feel their appearance needs improvement is probably about right -- if not a little low. There are probably another 1/3 that _should_ feel bad but don't. (And boys too!)
They are comparing 3 weeks after second dose and 4 weeks after 3rd dose. Presumably efficacy drop over time after vaccination is not in scope.

Not enough time has passed under observation to actually determine if it will wane similarly.
Do you know the disadvantage between W10 and W11 wrt. GUI apps through WSL2? What problems would I run into? I'd really rather not upgrade to W11, given all the fuckery Microsoft seems to be doing... I'd prefer to stick to W10 and hopefully in a few years I can just use Linux full-time.
No compassion if gay and bisexual men demand to donate blood. That is awesome and progressive! Not being vaccinated is deplorable.
You are not. Slightly more vaccinated people died than unvaccinated. However, not from COVID-19. The elderly are more likely to be vaccinated and also more likely to die of heart disease or cancer. You'll note in Table 8 that 34k unvaccinated died of COVID, compared to 14k vaccinated. Also, 83% of people are vaccinated, meaning the unvaccinated would have had to have died at even greater rates, at over 900% the rate of vaccinated. However, to further account for the elderly being at greater risk of COVID, you'll further note that Table 8 has an "age-standardised mortality rate", showing that on an individual basis, choosing to remain unvaccinated made someone 3230% more likely to die of COVID.
But that purpose was explicitly undermined by the status page not providing the actual status!
For example, I raised some money from Alice, so I have obligation to pay $1M(+%) to Alice. In other words, Alice invested $1M into me. Now, my business grows, risks are reduced, so Bob paid $1.25M to Alice. Now, I have obligation to pay $1M(+%) to Bob instead of Alice.

What's wrong with that?

The important bit is Omicron. Since as you say the recipe is the same it is an open question whether these vaccines can offer the same protection as for delta (and for how many doses)
Most people who tried hosting anything are aware whether they are or are not using a static IP address for their home or small business connection. It's usually a paid extra, even available on some ISPs that only give out IPv6 addresses with a CGNAT.

If the IP address doesn't change very often, it's not a bad idea to set up a dynamic DNS script and base your allow list on that subdomain rather than the raw IP address.
For context, the CDC reports annual hospitalizations from flu up to 710,000. So it's important to remember to always get your flu shot because it reduces transmission of another virus that can cause hospitalizations.

In the post there is actually a graph showing that Transaction Logs filled the database in just 6 days (11/24 through 11/30). This doesn't add up to ~100 GB if we assume that each event takes up 16MB of space, but maybe each event took up even more storage than that.
From reading this article I understood that they drew serum (blood plasma?) from 2 or 3 shot recipients and introduced a similar virus to COVID (pseudo virus?) into the serum because a pseudo virus acts similar but is less dangerous (contagious?) and then I’m not sure if they looked at amount of white blood cells produced. Would love for someone more familiar with the topic to give a layman’s interpretation.
You don’t have to be concerned. Another commenter brought up that the death rate per 100k is in the range of 1.1 (vaccinated) to ~5 (unvaccinated). Car accidents are >10/100k/yr.
Normal will be "new" in ways, which is always true, really.

If you look at the broad scale of human history, though, there have been hundreds of epidemics, and we got past them.

I suspect there's an end to be had via broad-based immunity to the most transmissive mutations evolution's random walk can come up with before it hits a local maxima.

>Do you find "materialism" to require less handwaving than dualism?

The upside to materialism is that the gap in our knowledge, namely why networks of neurons cause consciousness, is something we can acknowledge we don't know and try to understand. Resorting to an explaination relying on objects we can't observse seems... inelegant.
It's not a boolean — it appears that the vaccines reduce spread but do not prevent it entirely. The concerns are because that means we need higher vaccination rates to prevent spread compared to a vaccine which completely halts spread.

> I wouldn't say fail2ban is bad advice per se. The kind of companies running deployments that do auditing on iptables are going to be very different to the types of companies that benefit from dynamic rules created by services like fail2ban. […] There is a gulf of difference between hardening a Linux server for an independent web shop vs running Linux at Google.

I agree that there is a difference between running Linux at a FAANG and running Linux for an independent web-shop.

However, my advice was targeted at the hobbyists like me who likes to run their own webserver. (Independently from my employer) And I think it is appropriate for independent web-shop as well.

Auditing is not just reserved to bigcorps, I personally like to log diffs between "nft list ruleset" and "cat /etc/nftables.conf" on my personal servers. If you run fail2ban this becomes impossible.

Also, IMHO, fail2ban doesn't really solve the problem, a botnet attack could try to bruteforce your SSH. All it does is try to prevent one person from trying too much, it can also lock you out during an emergency. spiped is, IMHO, easier to setup and cheaper to maintain. It also provides a higher degree of protection. (As I explained before, it is a 256bit combination port knocker)

I personally think that fail2ban is a cargo-cult.
The Netherlands has an annual budget of 300 billion but the military gets less than 2% of that.

Ofcourse should global security ever deteriorate the EU can potentially field an army as large and advanced as any in the world. The cold war was not won by the US alone. But every cent spent on missiles can't go to healthcare or education.
>you're all acting like it's an announcement from a public health authority.

I think people are "acting like" it's scientific data about a vaccine of interest to the public.

Are you suggesting the data is unreliable or falsified? If so, and you have a basis for that, please cite.

Otherwise, it's difficult to understand why you're implying people shouldn't be interested in this information.
I enjoyed Consider Phlebas a lot, but it is very different from the rest of the series.
No, if they slap a label on it, it isn't "Don't Use It", it is "Don't even think about exporting this without permission.". It may have been relaxed, but regular IR cameras that we can buy and use here everyday in the US may land you in jail for selling them in eBay and shipping them to a customer in China or Iran. But we can buy, sell, and use them freely.
Thanks I will check it out. Would love to understand how those square up with the many studies that discuss natural immunity and the low to non-existent reinfection/transmission rates there. I know so many people who recovered from covid (jabbed and unjabbed), are healthy now, and don't see a need for a jab/booster.
> huge predictor, if not the single biggest predictor, of wealth is still just whether or not your parents are wealthy, especially at the top.

If you count top 10% as wealthy, sure then you need to be wealthy to make it big. A kid with top 10% parents has everything they need to succeed and create a top company. A poor kid doesn't, true, but a poor kid in USA still has everything they need to get to top 10%, and then their kids has everything they need to become top 0.1%. So you are right, this process isn't perfect, but it works in 2 generations, which is still really good compared to historically.
This is indeed what Table 8 shows. The vaccinated skew elderly, and while slight more vaccinated died, they were at a much lesser risk of dying for COVID. According to that data, over 32 times less likely for their age.
I don't see any official response yet from Github. Surely they're already looking at it? However, users wouldn't know that so I'm sure they're getting a ton of duplicate support requests, tweets and github comments that wouldn't otherwise be necessary.

And obviously the github status page shows it's 100% healthy (as of writing): https://www.githubstatus.com/
Yield is meaningless without knowing risk. What is the expected default rate under adverse economic conditions? Are borrower credit ratings available from independent sources? What is the counterparty risk for the lending aggregators and sources?

Chasing yield is a recipe for disaster.
They could still be honest that it's Stockfish 8, not the Stockfish everyone has. Your product having genuine value does not excuse lying about that value.
The level of risk aversion in the public still shocks me to the core daily. I always knew people who didn't want to risk a skydive or motorcycles. Now it's apparent that people are keen sacrificing the hopes and dreams of themselves and their children for something equivalent of car accidents.
>if one still has to be concerned

Nobody "has to be" concerned, it's their choice. Every time we get in a car we could end up having an accident and wiping out a family of four, that doesn't stop us driving. Life has risks, everyone dies eventually. There are far worse things in life than death.
One wonders if another full dose of Moderna would provide even better protection, given that a correlation has been found with the dosage:

Please spare me. You "science" worshippers got some good mileage out of this myth in the past, but now it is obvious that the last thing you want is for people to criticize Pfizer, the CDC, the NIH, or anyone within 100ft of them. In fact, their critics are being systematically purged from the world's largest communications channels, and they are almost always censored on this site as well. "Science" can't handle any criticism whatsoever.
I'll try to look into a brighter light into this one.

Gentle reminder: when sshing into unknown places remember to check your forwarding and dont use your github/etc username.
So heres the thing. That might be right, but if it turns out omicron is deadly, we have a quiver in our arrow thats ready to fly in the near future (roll outs, manufacturing and public campaign will take some time).

So in the case of a deadly fourth wave we have some strategy instead of just huck and pray.

Only reason we have any sense of normalcy is through the scientific achievement of these vaccines and the public campaigns. So yah im super happy to hear pfizer is getting ready fir this.

Are they a business and do we need to watch them? Yes, but afaik they saved our sorry butts alongside moderna.
I'd rather blacklist certain IP blocks for countries I'm sure won't get legitimate traffic and are cyberattack hotspots (China, Iran, Russia).
Yes, indeed. But sadly, taking the vaccine doesn't prevent you from spreading the virus.

In France, cases are still increasing even if more than 75% of the population is vaccinated. We are closing the nightclubs, again, (which were allowed to people tested negative or fully vaccinated) because the virus is still spreading in the vaccinated population.
Fortunately, it adds a protective layer for you, but as we can see now: not for the others.
How I spend less time on YouTube
Honestly the buying experience on Amazon is truly dreadful right now. If you are browsing for anything that’s not a name brand you have to sift through pages of garbage 5 star reviews from people paid with Amazon gift cards by the seller. If you look at the 1 star reviews you’ll see the sellers of items will pay people in Amazon gift cards to review the product, and pay to take down negative reviews. If I need to purchase anything I’ve given up on using them and simply go to Best Buy, Target Walmart, etc. Though it seems Walmart is trying to follow in Amazon’s footsteps with third party sellers for its website.
The Dramatic Rise of Esports Worldwide
I remember when this article came out. I was 8 and definitely fit the criteria and have ever since, but for some reason it's not a 'problem' anymore since now everybody has internet access to the point where it becomes logistically difficult if you DON'T for whatever reason. Instead of "Mez is a weirdo who spends all of her time online", now it's "Oh, ask Mez [about whatever thing they heard online], she'll know what's going on."

Now the "problem" is TikTok/"the algorithm". Which, don't get me wrong, algorithmic discovery and content provision have issues, but a lot of the panic is non techy people just not understanding something new. I'm sure in 10 years we'll be panicking about something else.
This can be marketed as a great spoiler prevention feature.
Do you know how Tai Chi compares to VirtualXposed?
Yes, it's unreliable because the publisher has a massive conflict of interest. Or did you not know that Pfizer makes money when people use its shots?
I don't think an average is very useful here. For example, that figure is going to be much higher amongst elderly people. And many people are in contact with people who are vulnerable for other reasons (e.g. I have a relative going through chemotherapy). Incidence of long covid is also much higher than that of death. Some people may not be able to afford time off work if they catch covid, etc, etc.
