I'm not sure, I guess it depends what you're looking for.
I'm a hobbyist, with no real professional experience in server admin, so I am probably missing some important things.
But most of this can be replicated with ZFS and FreeBSD jails (or on linux, BTRFS and LXC containers).

>> 1. A solution for unlimited scheduled snapshots without affecting performance.

You can very comfortably have instant and virtually unlimited snapshots with zfs/jails (only occupying space when files change). Very easy to automate with cron and a shellscript.

>> 2. API access for managing configuration, version updates/rollbacks, and ACL.

>> 3. Close to immediate replacement of identical setup within seconds of failure.

There is a lot of choices for configuration management (saltstack, chef, ansible, ..).
I run a shellscript in a cron job that takes temporary snapshots of the jail's
filesystem, copies to a directory, and makes an off-site backup.
A rollback is as simple as stopping the server, renaming a directory, and restarting it.
It's probably more than a couple of seconds, but not by much.
I think I'm uncomfortable exposing an API with root access to my systems to the internet, but I'm not sure how these systems work.
I don't think it would be hard to set it up with flask if you wanted it though.

>> 4. No underlying OS management.

I don't know what this is, but I'm curious and looking it up :D.

In most of the posts I'm reading here, people have really beefy rigs.
But you could do this on the cheap with a 2000s era laptop if you wanted (that was my first server).
I've been across this bridge probably a hundred or so times since childhood... scary stuff. Our geography is pretty prohibitive to population increase for a larger tax base to support the infrastructure. Lots of plateaus and rivers are the reason for the large number of bridges and tunnels. Even as a local, Pittsburgh is really difficult to get around. The T doesn't go to many places around the city. Buses have the same problems as cars. The inclines stopped being useful. Have fun getting hit by a car while cycling (you'll have the strongest calves to make up for it). The roads are hard to navigate and there isn't enough space for the innovative roundabout. There are some benefits from the geography like culturally distinct neighborhoods but the infrastructure issue really needs addressed. Fortunately, we have our best civil engineers working on the problem [0]

> For message/call integrity and confidentiality: Wire and Signal are basically the same, because they use the same base protocol.

This statement is surprising to read. The protocol is only necessary; the implementation is the critical piece. Many apps use the protocol developed by Signal, including WhatsApp afaik. Insecurely implemented protocols are the most common threat.

> All of the measures they implemented can be broken if they wanted to (SGX vulns, traffic analysis, ...)

Also a bit hard to understand from a professional perspective. All measures implemented by anyone can be broken with enough resources, or at least that must be assumed.

> SGX vulns

As I understand it: SGX (on Signal's servers) is only used if you use certain features (i.e., you can choose not to use it), and the key stored there only adds to the security of your own password. If you use a secure enough password, the key in SGX won't matter. It's for users who choose weak local passwords; Signal adds a key locally that strengthens the local password, but needs to make it available to users who lose their old phone and want to recover their data (and similar scenarios).

It was the motivator for me. But having gone through the effort to evaluate alternatives, I’m happy where I ended up (lima).
It’s free and open source, and easier to install and configure via scripts than Docker Desktop. The goal for our team is to make getting new developers set up as simple as possible (ideally just a single command), but prior to now the instructions to install and configure Docker Desktop were always an asterisk in the prerequisites section.
Just use repl.it? Honestly it's even easier, you don't have to think about dependencies, you just "import numpy" and woah it just installs it for you when you hit run!

I was well paid in the 90's to program a desktop application that saved some Telefonica contractors from using its web application. I guess it's what they call "scrapper" now.

The web was incredibly slow and unreliable. Money aside, I still feel a steady incoming karma flow :)
Yeah imagine cutting your own hair and diagnosing your health problems. Growing your own food and making your own chips.

Looks like sensible/nonsensical based on who you are and what are your needs. Not everybody needs cloud, not everybody can self host.
For Vitamin D synthesis, the sun needs to be at an angle of 50 degrees or higher. Depending on the latitude where you live, the sun may not get that high all winter so you may need to supplement.
There's the educational, constructive "Hey lokimedes I hear you're pretty good with this computer stuff want to come and help me while I solve a problem?", then there's the not so educational and not so constructive "Hey lokimedes, I hear you're pretty good at this, want to solve this problem for us?".

The "admin" person calling you for the former? Pretty cool. The principal calling you to their office for the latter? It really does say weird things about authority figures to a kid who's paying attention, especially when mixed with the cluelessness about security.
“ Why should you be allowed to run whatever you want on your MacBook but not on your phone?”

This was simply the question I was trying to answer. No more.

My personal feeling, however, is that, if there is a suitable alternative, people should be allowed to buy a device knowing the limitations (artificial or not).

Nobody is surprised that there isn't an alternative App Store an iPhone or iPad. If that's important to folks, they have plenty of Android or Microsoft alternatives.

It feels a lot to me like people buy a blue car, then complain that it's not a red car. I honestly don't understand why people don't just buy the red car in the first place.
Whether it's "using good faith" is frankly beside the point. Default skepticism is the only way to not get fooled over and over again. People demonstrably don't need a reason to lie beyond craving notoriety; no one on Reddit gets paid for the tall tales they tell. This doesn't mean you just get to make up your own truth either. Rather, it means that finding the truth is very difficult and sometimes you need to explicitly maintain agnosticism, you know, like GP did.

To lean on "good faith" is just another way to lose your nerve and fling yourself on the mercy of blind belief.
I always find it amusing when a particular software artifact is treated as some kind of powerful weapon in itself, and not just the codification of some really smart people's ideas on the current state of the art in some domain. The number of people on earth that can do this kind of stuff would fit in football stadium. The people are the weapon, not the specific executable.
> Even in the context of the original game release in 1996?

The point of that comment was to say "crap" is an entirely subjective opinion. Myself telling you that yes it was crap even in 1996 is not going to change the validity of the sentence I just said.

The connection which you aren't able to see which to me is extremely obvious, is that people who play with crypto "start playing and enjoying the game for whatever it is they get out of it, be it story, gameplay, collecting or PvP."
The central criticism of ENS in this blog post - that the multisig (in the past) or the DAO (now) could take away your .ETH name - is not true. No one has the ability to take a .ETH name away from someone. The DAO (which launched Nov 8, not Nov 10 as it said), wasn't created to take over that power from the multisig because the multisig didn't have that power either. The multisig does manage the ENS root, but the .ETH TLD is permanently locked.

Re the fact the DAO controls the pricing and registration parameters of .ETH names, it's true that it would be possible for the DAO to change them to something that targets a specific user or name. The DAO cannot take away a .eth name that is registered (it could only make it difficult or practically impossible to extend or register anew). To guard against this, a user can pay ahead for as many years as they want, ensuring they have the name for that period (e.g. 100 years). Given that DAO proposals have required voting periods, it wouldn't be possible to surprise this on someone, and they'd be able to simply extend their registration for 100 years (or whatever period they want) before it went through. As you mention, the ENS constitution also prohibits it. I find this attack vector extremely unlikely to be attempted and near impossible to carry out successfully.

There's more I could say, but I think these were two main points.
I self-host my stuff as well but with a 2012 Mac Mini running Proxmox. I use it as a means to learn sysadmin things.

I get my static IP by using the smallest VPS from vultr with a wireguard tunnel forwarding http/s traffic to a docker container running nginx proxy manager.

For those wanting to learn, I highly recommend joining r/homelab and r/selfhosted. Those communities have a lot in common and you can learn a lot.
That's why they add it to milk.

You’ve described a share in a private company. Not only do you not need an NFT for that, using an NFT provides you no additional guarantees.
I read your Canadian article. I don't see anything that contradicts the idea that indigenous Americans valued (or invented) individual freedom and equality. Unless you mean that they fought wars against other tribes.
How do you pronounce that? Love the logo and LOVE the mission. I'll give y'all a whirl

Depends on the punishment for violations. If there is "no user servicable" parts inside, they should be taxed very heavily. Obviously, that would just be passed along to the consumers. However, if it is heavy enough, would consumers choose not to buy? That tax money could be used to offset other expenses related to waste.

However, I stipulate people will still buy and gov't will repurpose the money raised from taxes to do other things.
I have been coding entirely by voice for approximately 10 years now (by hand long before that). Most of that time I have been using the Dragonfly (https://github.com/dictation-toolbox/dragonfly) library to construct my own customized voice coding system. The library is highly flexible and open source, allowing you to easily customize everything to suit what you need to be productive. It is perhaps the power user analogue to Dragon Naturally Speaking. With it, you can certainly be highly productive coding by voice. However, it does require work to setup and customize to suit you, so it isn't really for the "general population" of computer users to just sit down and use. With regard to accuracy of speech recognition, being open allows you to (with sufficient motivation) to train a custom acoustic speech model that recognizes your voice specifically extremely well.

Regarding the software packages you referenced: Yes, Dragon is trash that I want nothing to do with, because of its inefficient interface, its complete inability to accurately understand my voice, and its generally shoddy software quality. Voice Computer (which I hadn't seen before) is therefore eliminated as well, though it doesn't look terrible as a front end to Dragon to better use the OS GUI-accessibility info. Many people like Talon, but I demand something open, which I can modify to suit my needs.

Background: I develop kaldi-active-grammar (https://github.com/daanzu/kaldi-active-grammar), a free and open source speech recognition backend usable by Dragonfly, itself entirely by voice. There's also a community of voice coders using Dragonfly and other tools that build on top of it, such as Caster (https://github.com/dictation-toolbox/Caster).
Don't tell me, tell your fellow travelers in the GQP. You're the one who claimed that "The right is more libertarian than ever," despite what we can all see happening every day in the news.

As for the evangelicals... man, that Goldwater fellow sure knew what he was talking about, didn't he?
I found it tiring that she consistently dismisses the ancient sources as wrong without giving an reason why. Academics have been saying "well this <commonly believed thing from antiquity> can't possibly be true", and it not infrequently turns out to be at least not wrong. Sure, sources in antiquity are unreliable, but they are at least two millennia closer to the actual events than we are.

The book also seemed like a survey that had chunks missing out of the map. The parts that were there were well done (excepting not giving any good reason for distrusting the ancient sources) and I definitely learned things. But I don't feel like I got a good feeling of the course of Roman history, more like little vignettes along the way.

I can't say I dislike the book, but I think it could be better. (Although, I'm a complete novice in Roman history, so that might influence my opinion. And maybe the book wasn't written for me, too.)
The more we insulate people from the repercussions of their actions the more we get perverse behavior.

Depends on what "have a dedicated officer" entails?

If it requires employing someone you wouldn't be otherwise, then, yes, I do think it is unreasonable to require that I hire someone if I am letting people give me an email address for the purpose of sending them an email in the event that <x> (assuming that I am verifying at the time they give me the email address that they have control of the email address in question), no matter how many people request to be added to the list of people to send an email in the event that <x> .
Most cool, thx
When they sell you a phone, you are paying for the hardware and the software that runs on it.

Apple is providing a service with the App Store and related services. Whether or not you _like_ that service or how they price it is another matter, but they _are_ providing a service. It is not unreasonable for them to charge for it.
This is why every definition of terrorism mentions non state actors, precisely because states use violence themselves.
Sometimes the interface will piggyback on the same physical port as the primary NIC, so you can accidentally get it on the network without knowing.

Supermicros default to using the dedicated nic for IPMI, but they also default to using the piggyback if there is no link on the dedicated nic. :(

This perpetual outrage is particularly funny when you consider Apple Pay/Cash can also embrace crypto at any moment. That’s in character for Apple.

Then what? Does the author immediately throw away their expensive laptop and get a Surface, never to return to Apple?
Because why else would people upgrade? Honestly the colors on oled are pretty amazing right now the problem is that they cause migranes for folks like myself.

I'm really not sure what comment you're replying to but Mac developers write code that runs on linux primarily using Docker and "VMs" that run linux on docker. Like; probably 75% of the devs on the west coast do this.
>The thing I find most disappointing is the fact that it took so many so long to realize this.

The lure of "free" useful things is greater than most's concern/understanding of the capabilities of tech. Gmail is useful. GDocs is useful. Search is useful. Googs has been very smart on exactly the tools they've brought to market so that the lure is maximized.
> from a modern perspective, they can sound cliche

That was my joke about Shakespeare in the root comment: his expressions are so commonly quoted that they have become cliche.
I think dismissing natural immunity is direct reaction to the stupidity that emerged in beginning of the pandemic: great barrington declaration, Tegnell, UK initial response etc. We know how it worked out - a lot of people died, even worse virus variants appeared. It really did not work, it was not a solution.

But this handling of the issue made the things even worse because it gave fuel for the conspiracy theorists, quacks, pseudo medicine followers etc.

How it should have been handled? By acknowledging possibility that it will give good protection for reinfection and verifying it by studies and constantly verifying it for new variants, by giving convalescents similar treatment that has been given to vaccinated - these people have suffered enough, most likely they did not seek out the disease, they got bad luck, so let them be, by encouraging them still to get vaccinated to improve their likelihood to not catch it again, by explaining that seeking out virus is by any means is really not a good idea and can result in very bad outcomes. That is - treating people as they are not complete morons.

The situation in EU has been a little better. Here at least having confirmed infection has been recognized to provide limited time protection but there are still issues with this.

> "shouldn't [unless]" is either a past tense, thus an illogical consequent to the present tense, or it is a hypothetical, irrealis or desiderative subjunctive in which case it merely implies that someone should not be "spying", in effect.

Could you explain this a bit more to a non-native speaker like me? I'm assuming it's not a past tense for certain. From the second definition in [1] (used in auxiliary function to express obligation, propriety, or expediency) and the examples, it seems to me "shouldn't" here could mean that "be subject to government scrutiny" is the opposite of "obligation, propriety, or expediency". I understand the sentence as: if someone is not spying, subjecting their personal beliefs and political affiliations to government scrutiny is not the correct thing to do. Then why would it

> It was truly bizarre that a new, backwards-incompatible version was created really just to fix a missing unicode datatype and add async.

That's a very reductive way of looking at what was in reality a far more complicated situation, that required a tremendous amount of engineering to even arrive at the compromises they came to. It's not very charitable to all the folks who worked very hard to make that transition even happen.

You think they would have actually gone through all this pain and trouble to add a unicode type and some async? You'd think if it were that easy, MS, Google, Dropbox, and friends would have just banded together, slapped on some unicode classes, and called py2.8 a day.

The problems necessitating python3 run far deeper than that.
On the contrary, it sounds like a cover-up. Looking into the Github Issues, every-time someone does demonstrate data loss, the admins ignore it, argue it isn't data loss, or in one case, claim that the person who showed data loss is a disgruntled ex-employee (???)

There was a technical constraint: you pretty much always listened to the whole side of an album so heard a bunch of songs. With many bands there were clunkers and fillers but surprisingly, as noted by the article, there were fewer — barely any, really — such in the Beatles œvre.
> There is just too much for it all to end up as muscle memory, there's no way everything gets used enough for that to happen.

Yes, that only applies to things I use regularly, though they can be easily combined into larger commands. I'm not at all suggesting that things I use once a year go to muscle memory, much less all of Vim (probably only Moolenaar knows it all)!
What does it say to you?
What was going on in the mid to late 1400s? They had some crazy psychedlic drawings of elephants. Even more so than most earlier times. Though, maybe that is the answer. Maybe people in earlier times had actually seen a Roman elephant. Then maybe people in later times had actually seen a real elephant. Then in the middle (1400s) you have people that are hundreds of years removed from anyone actually seeing one.
we don't have personal computers anymore. We have personal computing. Processors are in everything and they don't come attached with any sort of "rights" that are properties of "personal computers".
Rendering engine diversity is a different problem. In order to actually have a web standard, then we need at least two frequently-used implementations. If there is only one implementation, or one dominant implementation, then people stop coding to the spec and start coding to whatever works in browser.[0]

Right now, if Mozilla goes bust, then the last hope for web standards is the fact that Apple's mobile OS rules preclude shipping Blink on iOS. If everything is Chrome, then we're right back to the days of Adobe Flash Player, where bugs in one implementation effectively become part of the spec.

If we didn't have or didn't care about this problem, then yes - we could just clip FLoC out of the browser and run that. However, that also assumes Google won't mandate FLoC or ban alternative browsers. Their recent attempts to cut down on credential stuffing through headless CEF browsers[1] have already made it harder to actually ship an alternative browser that can log into Google. So hypothetical future Evil Google could totally say "no FLoC, no service" and we would be screwed.

[0] This is the same reason why WebSQL died on the vine. SQL is a standard with a lot of wiggle room, enough that most applications either only work on one particular flavor of DB, or ship separate drivers for each DB they need to work with. In practice everyone shipped SQLite, so WebSQL was just "here's a sandboxed SQLite instance".

[1] Which, BTW, is not a bad thing in and of itself.

IIRC you can set the domain you want to show on your ad and it doesn't have to be what you actually link to. They allow that so marketers can do click tracking stuff I guess.
Glad you quoted statements from @mrjn / Manish's original post because it looks like he edited a bunch of those out of his post.

And yes it sounds not only like he's throwing his engineering team under the bus but also thinks they were incompetent which is beyond something any C* level person would be silly enough to write.
If you want to ship a browser without writing a browser engine, there are three realistic options. Chromium is the best of these options.
