Well... I can consider myself in the "hi income/wealthy" of my country (Italian living in France), I'm worried not much about the economy but about society at a whole.

Being wealthy means just a probable less hard landing, the probable capacity of accepting new skyrocketing costs for a long period of time, still being able to access/source what I need for a more or less comfortable life and maybe also being able to invest in the meantime for a future perhaps not marginal profit, but even if all that happen respect of today I'll still get less because the whole society have less.

Just imaging being wealthy today in France and tomorrow being even very rich in Turkmenistan. Oh you are much more rich in relative sense but what can Turkmenistan offer? Perhaps in a far future with new technologies and space explorations things will change but that surely might happen far beyond my life expectancy.

That's is. That's the basic law of nature, no matter morality, no matter feelings, no matter what. We face a scarcity crisis that will led to social unrest and wars. The most optimistic scenario is bad so it's normal to being worried, because even the most optimistic scenario means at least a very bed decade, perhaps two or three decades, plus a not so quick recovery that probably still demand years.
Not really. The UI will still be unresponsive and the only thing you can do is reboot the system safely using Magic SysRq. What OP is asking about is why the UI is unresponsive in the first place.

This guy lists himself as an entrepreneur, founder of a website that apparently sells influencer marketing. Given he has the skills to do something like this, why not just use those skills to get a job that pays you enough to buy food? If he insists on owning his own business, choose an industry sector where founders don't need to scam local restaurants to stay alive.

The scheme also seems doomed in that I'm hoping the restaurants aren't stupid enough to fall for it twice from the same account. At some point, he's going to run out of places close to him he can still get free food from and be forced to drive into Jersey, costing him more in wasted time, gas, and tolls than he would have spent just buying food.

I've been hearing fantastic things about Render. One concern I have is about the trajectory of the company-- for example there was a time when Heroku was a great bet, then it got sold and stalled. What are the most convincing points you can give for why Render won't follow a similar path?

> That said, the only caveat to hosting in your own house is it could suffer a fire, and your data is wiped

Well, there are other reasons to prefer using external hosting. Home connections are typically port‐filtered, have dynamic IP addresses, and have a low IP reputation, and your ISP selection is very limited. Whereas if using a VPS there are so many options that it’s easy to shop around.

But you can still self‐host while getting the benefits of a VPS. Just forward ports from the VPS over a WireGuard tunnel to your real machine. Then all the actual infrastructure is on hardware you control, and the cloud provider has no access to your TLS private keys.
You're missing out on the key context to my central question.

What was the Kyiv TV Tower broadcasting, that made it a legitimate military target?
I want to believe that. But then I think about how desperation could just lead to missile attacks / high level bombing of still-populous western Ukrainian urban centers and I'm not so sure.
Yes, unable to deploy at the moment.
I second that. Well said. Trying to get something look like you want with CSS takes too much time. If you know what you want it should be easy but it takes a lot of trial and error. Because of that we now have Flexbox and Grid. The problem with all the new add-ons is the amount of stuff you must learn and remember about how they work and how they work together, or don't, to get the results you want.

Then to hear from someone that the problem is "You don't understand the cascade" is annoying. The question is why don't I understand the cascade? The answer is because it is complicated, and it's not only about understanding it in principle but about then understanding its effects on your (current state of) application, and how you should or could change the cascading elements and or where they are defined to make your app look like you want.

And then the answer is perhaps: "Clearly you don't understand it but it is really easy" -- implying it is difficult for you because you are dumb or lazy and not a very good developer in general. Give me a break :-)

I wonder if it would help if the !important -feature should in fact be extended so you could have !important2, !important3, etc. with increasing levels of importance. That might make things easier, in practice. Or even better make it work like "z-index" does. If z-index can take on any numeric value including negative ones, why not have the same with "importance"?

That would mean that instead of having to calculate the "specificity" in your head, correctly, to understand what is happening with your app, you could just choose the specificity you want and make it part of any rule whose impact you want to differ from the default.

Having spent time there the only thing that I can recall that this applied was a limited release black bean burger from wendys, and maybe some special sliders from white castle. I don't know what else is tested or where you would gain access to anything, although I heard the rumor plenty but I suspect it just applied for these central ohio based fast food companies more than anything. The kroger carried the same stuff as anywhere else as far as I was aware.

I mean, technically i implemented it with a few different board states to help organize the 'common knowledge' board, the 'up-to-date' board, and each players' respective information. :)

Beyond that, what you described is basically how the implementation operates anyways. it notifies a player if they are put in check (without identifying the threatening piece, though I could change that pretty easily), likewise if theres a checkmate/stalemate. And in a situation where only one move is possible, it just auto-uses that move and notifies the player.

So the two players dont really 'discover' the outcome of the game out-of sync, per se.

An especially fun part is related to piece capture - eg if black captures white's pawn, then on white's turn, they will simply see their piece missing. So technically they would 'know' about the capture before their opponent would, which...I cant really even imagine the implications of yet, since I haven't had a chance to playtest this variant yet :)

I'm sure other things use the name "Forge" but just seems odd you'd purposefully use the same one. Could also make your SEO rather difficult.
> Now you have a choice: Do you continue donating your time, servers, emotions and experience to making someone else money?

No. I'm very clear with demands on my time that either companies have to provide resources to implement features (and I'll charge a consulting fee to train devs) or pay me directly to implement them (and I'll name the cost). Actually, several companies have paid me, and my project is significantly smaller than homebrew (niche Haskell library).

I wish them every success, and I may end up using it myself. However, I don't like the accusations of unfairness being levied against open source users (among which I would also include myself) for using freely available code for free.
That's absurd, unless you never watch films or shows.

Electronic ink has terrible refresh rates, but is great for reading.

Apple's displays can run at 24FPS, which is terrible for gaming, but perfect for editing 24FPS films and shows.

I spend most of my workday either writing code or editing video, for which this less-expensive (relative to Pro Display XDR) model is out-of-this-world PERFECT.

The sound is amazing and would be perfect if paired with a subwoofer. And despite terrible reviews, the built-in camera is just fine for video calls. I think a lot of people don't realize that people only look good on their own screen in video calls, because they are seeing their own video before it gets massively compressed to look just as bad as everyone else.

I think during wartimes political leaders and business leaders (especially defense company leaders) should be required to either go themselves to the front themselves or have their children fight in the war. It’s good for them to have “skin in the game” in wartime so they understand their decisions better. There are way too many examples of leaders and their families who live the good life during war while the military and civilian population are suffering.

Russia still does not have air superiority, so they actually might be afraid to commit bombers here as there is still working Ukrainian air defence.

And Russia is very obviously shelling entire cities indiscriminately, there is no possible way to claim this has a direct military purpose. Bombarding an entire city with artillery is a war crime.

I played a lot of those games and they were a lot of fun. My favorite (no idea if she worked on it) was willy Beamish.
I discovered ADVENT because it was bundled in with DSLinux [0], the Linux distribution for the Nintendo DS. Poking through /bin, I thought it was going to be a little CLI advent calendar---imagine my surprise when the console started telling me a story! There was a long period in grade school where I was kinda obsessed with the game and its derivatives, especially Mike Arnautov's 770-point expansion [1]. I remember pulling apart his A-code sources (a custom DSL for implementing his versions of the game) to make my own additions to the world. From there I discovered the Inform 7 authoring system [2] and the wider text adventure/interactive fiction ecosystem.

I came into the whole thing comparatively late (sometime in the late 2000s, I guess?), but Colossal Cave is still a huge part of my childhood. Expansions, ports, remixes, and re-imaginings are already a tradition for the game: even the version most people are familiar with is Don Woods's expansion of Will Crowther's original code. I'm psyched to see the Williams's contribution to the canon!

Depends what you're trying to achieve. Blockchain isn't meant as a decentralized storage network either,

If my goal was to keep a photograph in perpetuity, I wouldn't necessarily even want to put it on a decentralized system -- I'd put it on archive.org, or amazon glacier.
The author mentions but doesn't address the Picasa problem, which incidentally is the one I care most about.

What do I do when all the useful software is cloud based and requires me to store my data with the service provider in order to use it? Self hosting is not a solution.
I already posted one testimony above, from a soldier who tried to save some Ukrainians and got shot by his own people for it.
Self-hosting is not always the answer for a lot of people.

Self-hosting are not easy for laypeople (someone who are not familiar with it) to try to get their feet wet with it. For myself, I am on the level of beginner and I do struggle to stay on self-hosting path. When I set it up, I learn there is more steps that I have to do because the documentations and guides did not bother to explain those step and expect me to research more to find the information about it.

My biggest beef with self-hosting is that they expect us to set up the SSL/TLS certificate without explaining the step to set it up. Some guides does have section about it but never provide the details about creating CA for my self-hosting needs. I turn to Google/DDG to find information about it and they are all over the place or leading into dead-end.

There are few others thing I have gripes with self-hosting. I like self-hosting and they are pleasing for me as I don't need to rely on third party solution. The gripes I have is the documentations that are over the place or sparse information about it.

The irony of an article titled "Start Self Hosting" having its site go down
That's a good post on the topic, thanks. Like a lot of others I'm a hybrid-self-hoster. I do rely on some third-party, third-party-hosted or other cloud services, but I also spend a lot of time bringing things back home when I can.

It's tricky to be in that hybrid-box since the conversation in this area is very dichotomous--cloud things OR my own thing--but overall I like keeping my options open and swimming with the herd ;-) in making sensible use of cloud services when it seems appropriate.
Follow-up question:

Should someone interested in self-hosting do it from a literal PC in your basement, configured as a server?

Or is self-hosting on AWS / DreamHost / whatever good enough?

I ask because I like self-hosting a lot, especially when market solutions don’t really do what I need them to.

But security, man, that worries me. I can’t tell you what a three-way handshake truly is, or what a signed certificate really means: so self-hosting my own email / web server / etc. from my basement gives me a fear that someone, somewhere will take advantage of a vulnerability in some system component that I’ve never even heard of.
I think that’s not the best of examples. Some people, in some circumstances, may consider taking out civilian communications equipment a valid target in war.

An example is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_bombing_of_the_Radio_Tele..., where there’s no agreement on whether that bombing in any form could have been justified.
> They are doing so well in part because of the propaganda

Propaganda doesn't kill tanks, planes, helicopters, and soldiers. Weapons do these things.

> The average Westerner and Ukrainian has an unrealistic idea of their prospect of victory, and an inflated sense of Russia's desires to commit cruel atrocities for the sake of it.

Putin has been arresting generals and intelligence personnel who had an unrealistic idea of their prospect for victory. Russian citizens have such an unrealistic idea of how the war is going that they can't even state how many have died or that there is even a war at all.

> There's a small chance this unrealistic expectation of victory becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, but I doubt it.

It isn't unrealistic. Russia doesn't have a much larger economy than Ukraine and though it has a much larger military its spending was dedicated to fighting a very different type of war than the type it is waging against Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukraine has been preparing for this attack and has the support of larger economies than Russia.

> That is, they are dying for Poland, the Baltic states, and American hegemony, and perhaps for a romantic idea of going down fighting, but not for the best outcome for their people.

Your comment calls this conflict a war. That is illegal in Russia. What you said, under Russian rule, isn't allowed. You are a criminal according to Russia. You deserve, according to Russia, time in jail and/or fines. You yourself have shown through your own use of liberty to be an enemy of Russia. You use a freedom without thought to its value. You walk free, rather than in jail. Yet you imply that Ukraine fights for nothing. That there is no value to itself in preserving the freedom that you yourself enjoy. In my eyes this is cowardly hypocrisy: shouldn't you despise your own freedom before you criticize others for fighting for those freedoms?
Thank you. It's a shock to everyone. Been a weird week
I think you are mistaken in 2 aspects. Blockchain != web3. Blockchain + cryptocurrencies make up a large part of web3 because they provide an incentive mechanism to be decentralized. Web3 is about decentralization, other solutions that follow the goals of decentralization of the web can fall into web3. I would say IPFS falls into this category. Other possible solution/algorithms that focus on decentralization could also fall into this category.

Blockchain provides incentives, those incentives can be transformed into cash for the end user. Web2 basically focused on 2 aspects. Transforming the browser into a OS that can run on any computer, using advertising for the generation of money for stakeholders. In regards to advertisement the reason why this was use d was because it worked in the past. Printing press --> newspaper --> advertisements, Radio --> audio advertisements, Movies --> pre-movie advertisements, tv --> commercials. This mechanism has worked before and worked for web2.0. The problem now is that so many companies are involved in data collection on individuals that it has become quiet scary, this was not possible with previous mediums (not to the same degree). Game companies have tried to transition to micro-transactions, psudo-gambling, upgrades as a payment form.
Web3 offers a different incentive model that if successful can replace these arguably more scary methods.
Isn't this the well known https://draw.io rebranded?
Does Let's Encrypt offer a similar functionality for CT queries? Could they if donations were directed to building said functionality?
I wonder how long after the exercise the “affordance” effect lasted.
It's impractical due to the size of the data. You're talking hundreds of millions, or billions of certificates.
IANAL but I believe another reason to true self host, at least in the US, is that rules for things inside your house have extra protection. Sure they can still get a warrant, but this is a totally different level than what they need to get the same data off of a VPS.

Do you really have any search and seizure protections on a VPS?
