> It works great if you're running a server with standard software from official distro repos that is infrequently updated.

It's not frequent updates that screwed you, it's using third party repos. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is an RPM based rolling release distro with up-to-date software that I've found to be very suitable, and stable, for desktop use. Before switching to Tumbleweed, I previously used Debian Sid for a long time. Contrary to Sid's 'unstable' moniker, was always very stable for me when I wasn't pulling in 3rd party repos or trying to mix Sid with Stable (the notorious 'frankendebian'.)

best tester I found so far... very detailed, explains interactively what it is doing and gives you the RFC number... was in the process of migrating my mail server, and it reminded me about my spf record :)

well done and keep the good work.
This assumes most people notice most changes in their behavior in real life. Some may subtly change over time, others may be in blind spots... and it's not like many people are tracking themselves in this kind of way. You might be overestimating people's introspection here. Think of all the people who start overeating without noticing or even start doing something radically different without reflecting.
Yes. I was the lead security engineer at my previous job, and these messages were always marked as “Informative” and, eventually, “Duplicate”.

The major bug bounty websites like Bugcrowd and HackerOne have rules about duplicate and non-actionable submissions, which usually hurt the researcher, for example, by decreasing their reputation points. After the first couple of submissions, I got curious, so I decided to open a separate category for these submissions where I asked every researcher to provide a proof of concept of the attack. Unsurprisingly, none of them were able to. Some of them closed their own submissions, and the others lost some reputation points due to Bugcrowd or HackerOne’s intervention.

Somehow, we did not receive more submissions about DMARC, SPF, or DKIM after that, which was interesting, as if all the researchers were working together to spam as many bug bounty programs as possible with the same “vulnerability” to get easy money from unsuspected program managers.
What about testing?

In Berlin, the infrastructure for testing is a lot better than it used to be. The tests are free and readily available, and now they're mandatory for more things.

Just across the border in Poland, the numbers look great even though there are no observable restrictions. A bit of Googling points out that testing isn't nearly as prevalent.
Home server

HP ml310, with 4x 3tb drive, btrfs raid1, 6tb total space

1 external 4tb drive for important data backup

Backups, mostly semi manual Rsync

Phone: root, Termux, Rsync

Data sync, Syncthing

In EU reasonable HP ml310 can be 120€, and there are several 3tb HDD lot auctions, 140€. 100€ for a 4tb 2.5 drive. Total 360€ for setup. Plus 100€ for electricity and 40€ for parts maintenance. Total 140€ every year

I also use the server for VMs, docker, Pihole...

Backblaze and rclone also looks interesting for a cloud copy
what history? the invention of javascript?
GNU Make is pretty good about telling you why things are happening with -d

If you can get away with it use -rR to skip builtins, it makes the output of -d much nicer.

I usually end up running make with -rRd or -rRp when I want to inspect things. -d tells you why things happen and -p shows you what rules and variables are defined.
You can happily ignore anyone who says hot dogs aren't sandwiches. By all definitions, they unquestionably ARE sandwiches. The only argument against it is based on whether a hot dog bun is one piece of bread or two, except it doesn't matter, because one piece of bread (or a split roll) is still a sandwich.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sandwich

1a: two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between

1b: one slice of bread covered with food

By the anti-sandwich lobby's logic, if you were to build a ham and cheese sandwich using one piece of bread and then folded it in the middle to make it look and function like a "traditional" double breaded sandwich, it would somehow magically no longer qualify as a sandwich -- and that's just plain absurd.
I beg to differ, Deno adds some fire to quality modules becoming the better norm for javascript on the server-side, smaller, faster, purpose-made modules and frameworks that don't rely on thousands of dependencies.

Of course, it's up to each and every developer that contribute, but looking at some of the most up-stared Deno modules, that's the direction it's heading.
The cost isn't zero though, the environmental cost is huge for NFTs in general, just like the billions made on bitcoin are on the back of that.

GitHub is private property, and they have the right to eject anyone from their property for any reason or even no reason at all.

I think this is an elaborate art project.

This is mainly based off of the 2 "founders" at the end talking about the project. When they go scout for locations and one of the founders starts caressing the top of a thatch hut and the immediate next shot is a piece of paper taped to a tree with the title "Mercle Tree", that's when it clicked that this was a parody.

It's scary that it took me that long to realize.

They can block smaller particles, yes. But it’s non-deterministic. More importantly, they don’t block all or even most of the smaller particles. If they did, then they would be rated for the smaller particles that they are blocking.

I have two external USB RAID enclosures (IcyBoxes) for backing up my laptop via Time Machine. These are encrypted backups. One lives at home, one in the office, and I switch them out every few weeks. I use a Caldigit USB dock so backups happen automatically when I connect my machine. I can’t remember cost, but probably in the region of €500-600 (2 enclosures and 4 drives).

I have Backblaze also running on my laptop (~$70/year)

I have a Synology NAS that is independently backed up to an external drive that is switched out regularly. The NAS takes backups of some online services, like Cloud storage, GitHub and email (some of these are native Synology apps, some custom scripts). The cost was probably around €450 with 2 drives.

I used to backup the NAS to the cloud, but stopped as it felt like overkill. I also used to sync between NAS, laptop and phone with Resilio but came to realise that I rarely actually needed it and it was a lot of extra faff.

Finally, I manually backup my 1password vaults, important backup codes for 2fa and my primary public/private key to a usb stick that lives in storage. I do this probably every 3 to 6 months or so.

Using deltas for updates is a huge win for Fedora. On distros without delta updates, it's always a real pain in the ass when Wesnoth updates and you have to download half a gig of assets that are probably only a few kilobytes different from the last version.
> walking everywhere, switching to vegetarianism and wearing only hand-crocheted hemp clothing

I mean, I agree it's ineffective, but it's hell of a lot better than thinking that paper straws, recycling and buying from companies with some green leaf-looking stamp will solve the problem, which is the majority view. In fact, consuming less — both products and instagrammable experiences — is probably the best you can do in terms of personal footprint, along with not having kids of course.

That said, abstaining and "not playing" isn't gonna cause the revolution, or even a slow paradigm shift. We need to evolve, too. And fortunately, changes happen, even if they rarely get the attention they deserve. One example today is the independent podcast boom - where tabloid-style fear media and Twitter flame wars have been losing market share to... Long form conversation. The cynic in me did not see that coming. It shows, in my opinion, that not even carefully engineered amygdala hijacking is enough to keep people from curiosity and reflection. Human behavior is complex and fascinating.
> other virologists.

You mean the Lancet Hoax?
"Healthcare workers who are exposed to COVID-19 and are asymptomatic may return to work immediately without quarantining and testing, and those who test positive and are asymptomatic may return to work immediately without isolation and without testing."

They are calling this "shortened duration of COVID-19 isolation and testing" which is a funny way of just saying "we eliminated isolation and testing".

I know too much about the bad ideas of Nobel Prize winners to trust your presumption (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_disease ), so I went to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luc_Montagnier

] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Montagnier was criticised for using his Nobel prize status to "spread dangerous health messages outside his field of knowledge"[6] for promoting the conspiracy theory that SARS-CoV-2 was deliberately created in a laboratory. Such a claim has been refuted by other virologists.[7][8][9][10]

Of course there's no reason to trust Wikipedia. My point is to challenge the idea that because someone got a Nobel Prize on one topic, that makes them a credible source on even related topics.

RationalWiki has a much lower threshold than Wikipedia and at https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Nobel_disease writes of Montagnier support for "[h]omeopathy, water memory, autism quackery, AIDS cured by nutrition and vaccine hysteria", linking to https://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2011/01/14/the-nobel-dise... for support.

It was easy to find L Montagnier et al 2011 J. Phys.: Conf. Ser.306 012007, "DNA waves and water" https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/306/1/0... which, if true, would indeed overthrow science, and deserve another Nobel Prize.

Yet it's almost only cited by homeopaths, and more broadly "alt. medicine" sources. The setup doesn't look complicated, so should be easily reproducible. Almost as if it wasn't correct - just like we would expect.
Show HN: Open-source Android game written in Go
Hi HN!

So this all started out as an experiment. I wanted to test the Golang gomobile library to build a small app on Android in Go. And it turned out to be a game, and harder than I thought...

After a lot of work and many gotchas (and a lot of moments where I was about to give up and started to squint on Unity) I finally manage to create a working game for Android with Go.

The game is quite simple and if it wasn't for being written in OpenGL/OpenAL from scratch it would be quite simple to make it in Unity or any other game engine for that matter.

Another goal of my project was actually to make something that I could sell but still keep open source. I usually never sell anything, I put up all my spare time projects as open source projects on my Github page. Even if it doesn't sell I can now at least convince my mother to try it with a single click in PlayStore!

Anyway, I might be a bit biased, but the game is quite fun!

This is why we should think in terms of problem solving rather than "responsibility" in the traditional sense and punishment. The person is "responsible" in the sense that it was their body (i.e. them) that did the crime but that doesn't actually tell us anything. If the point is to prevent further such crimes then the conditions that caused it have to be prevented in some way or another. That's the original problem that retribution (and it's later reforms) was solving.
If you want software outside the official repo that isn't self contained you should use a container or build it yourself and install into the /usr/local tree. Don't cross the streams.
I think your use of supposedly is definitely in order. A lot of what I read had connections that were shaky at best.. a lot seemingly read more like Q/conspiracy inspired bullshit to me than cold hard facts (to me).
Timing a market that's absolutely sure to collapse is notoriously difficult.
Nah, open source software is "use at your own risk" and there's 0 guarantee for anything. All responsibility lies with the user. If you don't like that responsibility, don't use open source software without reviewing it first.
it is simple to write, it is not simple at all how strings are converted into paths.

What about that linked discussion made you scared?
Knuth is the author of "Art of Computer Programming".

He writes code mostly for instructional purposes, for humans to read, I would think.

Literate programming makes sense in that context. And it is true that to create a truly maintainable program you need to provide good documentation, maybe literate programming is the best way to accomplish that.

However I feel I don't have the time to invest in producing great documentation. I write code the best I can and my goal is to finish a big project in a timely manner. I feel documenting everything while the program is still evolving would be wasteful because then the documentation should be continually revised and typically it is not.

A similar issue applies to unit-testing. If I need to change my program I also need to rewrite the unit-tests. "Testability" is a great goal for software and so is "maintainability". But the most important quality of software is "does it do what it should, already this year".

If I wrote a blog-post or a technical article I would put great care into how I best present the software both in code and in documentation around it. But mostly I just write programs for the computer to execute, not for people to read about it.

The ultimate example of Literate Programming is writing a book about your program. I had a book once called "How Tomcat Works", about the web-server called "Tomcat". A great book explaining in detail how Tomcat does (did? )work. But who of us have the time to write a book?

My priorities are:

1. Write great code that does what it should

2. Write some API documentation about it so I and others
can understand how to use it.

3. (The least important) Document and explain how the code works.
We need to not only correct people but environments. The people themselves only contain half the conditions that lead to their behavior, their environments contain the other half.

I hear you.

All I can say is that I feel like I went through a similar struggle, and ultimately had to accept that HN now consists of millions of people. Just from a logical standpoint, it's not realistic to expect that all viewpoints will be welcomed by all people, no matter how they're expressed.

If you game it out, the outcome is that either we all get along with each other, or the place burns down. You might think that's hyperbole, but HN walks a delicate tightrope -- pretty much zero social networks from 2001 stayed relevant in 2021. So it'd be very possible to blink twice and wake up a decade later and wonder "Where did HN go?" That, more than any other, is the defining struggle of the community; particularly as it continues to grow.

The problem with expressing my feelings was that I pretty much always did it because it felt good, rather than because I was trying to help someone else. Eventually I came to realize that this was both selfish and unproductive, so I tried to change habits. And I still fall back into the old ways sometimes, though the last couple years have been a marked improvement.

Ask yourself: What benefit is there from expressing your feelings?

I hate to phrase it like that, but it was an uncomfortable truth that I was always reluctant to face. Perhaps you know of a benefit that I overlooked. If so, I'd appreciate hearing it.

Ultimately I just had to stomach the fact that if I wanted to participate, I'd need to face "the community" as it is: a collection of people looking to pass the time and amuse themselves. It's nothing more and nothing less.

The implications of that pretty much shattered my existing worldview, because I had to face the fact that no, the community isn't here to find some sort of enlightened viewpoint, and no, no one is going to care about me personally. Which meant that if I acted in selfish ways, no one would gain a thing -- all it would do is upset people to varying degrees. Particularly myself.

I ended up happier by caring less about myself and more about the people I was talking to. I don't know if it would work for others. But you seemed sad that the community was letting you down, as I once felt, so I wanted to at least try to reframe the problem as a matter of perspective.

I see you've been around HN since 2008. For what it's worth, so have I. It's really hard to let go of the old community. But we have no choice; we now live awash in an ocean of people, and those original ~5,000 commenters in 2008 may as well be tiny islands. We're still here as individuals. But if you're hoping "the community" is going to feel this way or that way, well... That path only ended with a sort of bitterness that I was happy to leave behind. Perhaps you'll find a different way out.
Right, but the time I can manage with four fewer hours per night is measured in days, not months. I'd be more worried about falling asleep in traffic than gaining one pound.
Not to be nitpicky but I would say there are definitely situations where laughter is not a positive (edit: or beautiful) thing – laughing at someone else's misfortune, laughing in pain, etc.

Also CommonJS has some acknowledged issues around cyclic dependencies, and being incredibly fudgeable at runtime that makes static analysis and linting a pain.

As opposed to what, American ones?
The greatest healthcare improvements in the US could be brought about by:

- Dismantling the insurance/big hospital complex that milks the US population for the enrichment of c-suite executives.

- Removing the capacity for lobbying by insurance companies, large hospital groups, device and pharma companies (so they're less able to price gouge consumers).

- Price transparency on all links of the chain of healthcare delivery.

- Changing the incentives for physicians and other providers towards expensive, often harmful and unnecessary interventions.

- Facilitating improved therapeutic relationships between providers and patients (More time spent, more communication, more incentives for harm reduction).

- Social changes including less stigma for things like drug use, greater emphasis on community cohesion and care.

- Demilitarization (Not only are absurd amounts of money spent on the military that could be redirected to better community health services; but innumerable veterans (not to mention foreign and local civilians) are injured psychologically and physically annually in the absurd pursuit of 'global security'.

- Better end of life care. I think something around 40% of healthcare expenditure is on patients in the last 2 years of life. Patients and families would benefit from earlier access to hospice care and less aggressive therapies that only prolong suffering.

- A greater emphasis on preventative health and lifestyle choices (better diet, exercise and sleep regimes - ideally within the context of a long term health care provider relationship).

Its very typical of modernism (especially in the US) to think that the way to address everything is a nice app with a better UI. This also facilitates the corporate narrative of marketing the shiny new thing to throw money at (make money for the company) to solve everything whilst digging the hole even deeper (and letting society absorb the collateral damage).

EDIT* Thanks for the feedback, I have added some of the points made by others to the list above.
