If you put in a blocked site [1], interestingly a picture of j robert oppenheimer comes up telling you that this is a service from los alamos national laboratory.

Shame they blocked deoxy, that was one of the oldest websites on the internet. They even had a version from the early 90s which was meant to be browsed in a text-based browser.

> The concept of Internet was easy to understand (fast communication, availability of information,...)

Not really - I think you're introducing hindsight bias. This famous David Letterman clip with Bill Gates is pretty representative of the population's poor understanding of the benefits of the Internet. This clip was from just over a decade after the Internet was invented, so roughly the same amount of time that we are right now since the concept of distributed ledger technology was invented.

We'll be offering CPAP in a few months. We're excited to offer a range of options as different devices work well for different patients depending on a number of factors including the severity of their sleep apnea and their lifestyle.
Kudos to czue and Pegasus! I haven't used it before, but if that's a better fit for what you want, go buy it!

Honestly I feel a little weird "competing" directly with something like this, but such is life. Thanks to everyone who has made something similar (in any ecosystem), which is part of what got me over the hump of thinking it was even possible. I'm glad Django is getting some options and new ideas!
Not cranky at all :) We appreciate the thoughtful review, and we'll make these changes to clarify (including the manufacturer, the 2-night study, and the reporting). Thanks!
Doesn't work reliably, in my experience. It's an eternal cat-and-mouse game.
Thanks for letting us know! We'll get that fixed.
Use the LetsEncrypt staging server for testing. When you have a process that works, switch to prod.
It surely is. I prefer less of it which is why I made my comment.
Good luck on that side. Russians are great people and not everyone supports Putin.

I hear a lot of stories like this. I've been self-hosting for a few years out of my home. I have a symmetrical gigabit fiber connection. My IP changes very frequently (DDNS and a low TTL solves that problem for my use cases).

_anyway_

I haven't been hacked.. yet. /me knocks on wood

The precautions I take are basic:

- Use unique and secure credentials on each service I expose.
- I only expose ports 80 and 443 to the public. 80 HTTP redirects to HTTPS/443
- I keep my software updated (docker-compose pull)
- Nightly backups to cloud storage and local disk
- I "airgap" my home network from my hosting network. There is no shared hardware between them including firewalss/routers, switches, etc.

I figure cloud services and SaaS get hacked anyway. I can't enumerate the breaches my data has been a part of. If my self-hosted stuff gets hacked at least I can do the forensics and actually see what happened and what was accessed. With a 3rd party all I can hope for is what their PR department lets out.
- Vaultwarden (passwords)

- FreshRSS (RSS reader)

- Homebridge (gets some non homekit devices into Homekit)

- Minecraft Server (kids)

- Valheim Server (me and my buds)

- Syncthing Discovery and Relay servers (I am paranoid, for file sync)

- PiHole (network adblock)

- Wireguard (all our devices have it installed, combined with PiHole = adblock on the go)

- Grafana + InfluxDB (to monitor system health)

All this is running in a 16 GB space eating VM that's backed up offsite. Maintenance is not too bad, if something goes wrong I'll roll back in a flash and investigate later.
I can think of no proxy war that has played out like this. The scale of Russian incompetence is difficult to understand.

I'm skeptical that your layperson would be able to keep self-hosted applications secure constantly. Hell, huge corporations have a difficult time with it.
> It was always the world's largest suburb.

You're not wrong but talking to people from other major metros you would think Columbus is like one step up from "rural small town."

I know I'm gassing up Columbus a lot in this thread but for real if you haven't experienced day-to-day here it's actually a kinda novel city design -- 100% was accidental but the city planners are leaning into it and the results are great. Everything is 20 minutes or less by car. So much green space, lots of parks, small businesses aren't crushed by high rents, housing is cheap, connected pockets of local walkable areas with parking garages on the outskits. Unless you actually live in the suburbs it's a far cry from blandly pleasant perfectly manicured lawns and identical all-american homes.
If you are at the physiacl keyboard you can run the oom killer via the sysrq key. I would say that the kernel oom killer is quite usable since the last few years but is triggered too late - especially for applications like Firefox that handle malloc failures gracefully.
> ... a high school pupil hacked big Telecom/ISP, stole personal information of 100 000 customers and demanded $500 000 extortion fee

I think it's a sign of a cultural shift. Not in hacking but in perception of money.

Money used to have this unique value, representing work somebody has put in.

Nowadays real money is increasingly looking like some dumb in-game currency, generally useful only for buying cosmetics and consumables. Awarded arbitrarily, so some people and organisations have awarded themselves or cheesed out of others completely astronomical amounts of it. And on the low end you might doing three job-quests every day and still not have enough for consumables you need daily just to play the game without suffering too much.

Governments apparently are able to pull hundred billions out of their a-ses to buy bunch of tanks from whomever despite lamenting poor economy just a while ago.

In the eyes of the kid demanding 500k RL karma points is not a crime, just trying to utilize opportunity similar to those so many old folk already apparently exploited. Because there's no way they could earn it by working average job.
It's not a binary. Becoming more indifferent to other people is necessary for the kind of people who go through this sort of therapy.

To open your mouth and speak to another person is to risk offending them. There are people who are so afraid of that possibility that they never speak. In that case, less empathy/more indifference is good.
> Who, exactly, is going to foot the bill?

Remember that the vast majority of US government debt is held by....the American public. The Fed was buying treasuries that normal investors would have to regulate rates, it's not like suddenly there's 0 demand domestically for US bonds. If the Fed wants to take a haircut and start offloading their balance sheet at a discount I'll happily throw a treasury ladder together in my retirement account, stock market gains are about to get incredibly volatile and I'll take a guaranteed yield over what I predict to be a major correction in the making.
I've gone down this path a while back and self-host Gitea and other things: https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2022/02/12/1930

I will be moving my KVM/LXD setup to Proxmox eventually (probably when I get new hardware) and am looking into low-wattage servers (ARM would be nice, to continue the grand tradition of running services on an NSLU2 a few years back, but there just aren't any good ARM server boards with lots of RAM and NVME storage).
I'm not debating whether or not it is. You framed that previous statement as if I'd be ok with one group doing it and not another, or it was simply "whataboutism," and it doesn't apply. Either way, I'm consistent here and I don't think it's right to shell residential neighborhoods, schools, hospitals, etc. as you claim moral superiority/you aren't doing anything against the civilian population.
In my homelab I've got RPis running Minio (S3-compatible block storage), step-ca (local certificate authority), CoreDNS (local DNS), a local gpsd/chrony setup (for local GPS-backed NTP, using the Uputronics GPS hat), shairport-sync (AirPlay server), and some web services fronted by Caddy. A great way to learn and try out various services, Linux distros, infrastructure management options, etc.

I thought the rover uses an RTG (Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators) for power.
I actually found Postfix fairly easy to configure once you have a solid understanding of Email (which took me a good while at first). Dovecot on the other hand...
Wow, that has aged poorly. All of the stories he insists should be walked back have been confirmed. Manafort and Flynn were both pardoned by Trump despite definitely having communication with Russian agents and lying about it. Roger Stone was also convicted for his role in coordinating the DNC email release with GRU via WikiLeaks. Russian agents visited Trump Tower to sell the campaign emails. Trump lied about his business interests in Russia. And it's absolutely journalistic malpractice to say that Mueller declined to issue indictments when he very specifically said he did not evaluate criminal charges at all because he didn't believe he had the authority. That is just a talking point straight from Bill Barr.

The impeachment trial laid out the details of the Trump campaigns relationships with Russia. No, Trump wasn't taking direct orders from Putin. That was never even suggested. All the MSM stories described back channels, influence, complimentary strategies and that was all true. Trump and the right-wing media upgraded the accusations to a level they knew could never be proven in order to reset expectations to something unattainable. Then obstructed every investigation, waited for convictions on obstruction charges and issued pardons so no one could ever be forced to give up details. Taibbi is framing the story exactly how Trump wants it framed and ignoring the reality. Nothing he references in the MSM reporting was actually incorrect. The hype around what the result of this reporting would result in was never promised by any of the legitimate reporting.

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-04-01/no-rus...

EDIT:

Bonus content, here is Taibbi casting doubt on the Ukrainegate whistleblower based purely on his personal bias about what a whistleblower should look like. Again, he was carrying water for Trump and was 100% incorrect in his agenda-driven reporting:

How about add a remote apple host. Not for the world but just you?
As a person who self hosts quite a few things, I'm intimately familiar with why people self host. That was not my point.

The point is that there exist people who do not understand why self hosting can be valuable, nor should we assume that they will come to HN, do a "self-host" query, and then comb through the myriad of results to back into why this is an interesting topic.

You were criticizing the blog post...essentially for existing in its current form...and I pointed out that there are legitimate reasons for such posts to exist.

The post was probably not meant for you or I.
Project Veritas says feds accessed its emails
I think part of the problem is that it's hard to measure the productivity of individual workers and even harder to link that to specific outcomes.

Thus if all the best workers are replaced and now we have higher system failures, more bugs, and slower project releases, then management can choose to believe that those problems are unrelated to the decision that caused people to leave.

Only the lowest members of the team understand the loss in real terms... and who wants their thoughts and opinions on things?
FTR, any certificate that wants to be recognized by Chrome ends up there.
I’m at a company that still does all of those things. Still virtual, though!
Asking favors vs just interacting with people feels potentially sketchy to me, but on the whole, I think strangers in-person would be well off interacting with each other more these days, not less.

I've always liked how Terry Pratchett put it: “Individuals aren't naturally paid-up members of the human race, except biologically. They need to be bounced around by the Brownian motion of society, which is a mechanism by which human beings constantly remind one another that they are...well...human beings.”
If you have 2FA a OTP can be sent to a trusted device or app to allow a password reset without having access to email?
That newspaper project in the article looks like it came from

https://onezero.medium.com/the-morning-paper-revisited-35b40... which took me to here: https://calmtech.com/

For some reason I love this. There's something deeply satisfying about quiet technology. I wish I could get my local newspaper's front page scan like this.
Got one of those. It is hard. Very hard. Absolutely freakin’ hard to make a bump-in-the wire dynamic 5-tuple blocking “hub”.

It also does “waterfall” egress packet delaying.
I’ve thought about this for awhile and my solution is something like this:

Have multiple groups that each choose a winner for each contest. As in, every contest has 5+ winners, not just one. For example:

- One winner decided by public poll

- One winner decided by volunteers that review the stories to help us out

- One winner decided by the sponsor

- One winner decided by a network of related experts. E.g. a bunch of biologists review stories about biology

In this way, I think the worst a sponsor could do is choose a non-negative winner for their own selection. The other 3-4 winners would not be under their influence.

Of course, this may scare away potential sponsors, but in my experience most scientists welcome debate, as the usual state of affairs is getting no attention at all.
I don't think managers generally think that there is no loss of productivity when you have churn. Loss of productivity due to churn is a very well known phenomenon. But it's also true that almost any employee can be replaced, and if they can't you should probably fix your org structure or processes so that they can be. Having single employee dependencies is one of the worst scenarios for organization robustness, and that includes people at the C-level. The old adage that a good manager should aim to make themselves replaceable has some merit.

All that said, I think people often incorrectly assume that having people in an office will yield productivity gains. I don't know of any research that definitively shows that to be true, and good management should be doing result based performance management not ass in seat performance management anyways. Despite this, I still routinely meeting high level people in companies who insist that assess in seats somehow give more productivity. I don't buy that hypothesis.
I run Caprover on a $5 Linode VPS, and it makes it easy to spin up new apps from a curated selection or from a Docker Compose file. I checked out Dokku, but the learning curve out of the box was harder.
The adverse selection issues seemed glaring to me with ISA's - they would appeal tremendously for folks without great options. For folks with good academic career success looking to transition less so?
Did they raise everyone's wage to compensate for this inflation as well? I highly doubt it.
A lot do, but without knowing it. Chrome uses an 'expect-CT' header, which means the sites TLS cert should chain to a root CA, with both stored in a CTL.
Setting up a VPN is pretty easy these days. If you don't want to run it on your router, you can look at something like Tailscale for remote access.
Sure. Like they can’t legally invade a country on plow cities to the ground. Or kill civilians.
PhotoPrism[1]+NextCloud is a potential solution to the Picasa problem. I run them on my personal NAS.

The devops experience is fine -- I can wrap up PWAs for all the devices (PCs and phones) in the family. Need to set up a few systemd timers to synchronize data, build indices and check for PhotoPrism app updates but that's not too bad. Docker makes deployment super easy.

The user experience, hmm, modern, minimalism, tolerable.

Modern = it knows about iPhone live photos and all sorts of photo metadata; has machine learning for classification. Recognizes faces. etc.

Minimalism = just a viewer, no photo editing (Picasa photo editing and the ability to put an album together into one picture totally rocks)

Tolerable = meh classification precision, slow geotagged map (dreaming of Picasa + Google Earth), NextCloud iOS autoupload constantly breaks (you want non-iCloud cloud on iOS and you're not a megacorp huh? good luck) etc.

Conclusion? It has been a decade since Picasa is gone. I'd expect a lot more improvements to happen, but in reality, the best thing we have now is just that. Some good, some bad, some ugly.

I've been thinking of re-casting Piku (https://github.com/piku) as a set of Caddy configs and little more, but haven't had the time to bunch together all the necessary plugins - but Caddy is a great base for building anything web-related.
1) 10Y by far is the most important benchmark used in the US economy. It's the foundational rate for almost all consumer lending including mortgages and widely used as the RFR in discounting cashflows.

2) My gripe with the stimulus argument is 'why is inflation accelerating 12 months after we stopped'? For example, are used cars (a major contributor to current inflation) really going up in price b/c people can afford to pay higher prices, or is it because we are making way fewer new cars? Same story for houses (given that we've chosen to abandon billions of sqft of office space and replace that with at-home offices).

Sure, loose money support isn't helping inflation, but the idea that the solution to our current inflation problem is to decrease demand seems unthoughtful, given the fact that we know we are producing well below our potential (on a global scale).

I actually don't disagree with you that inflation will go down in the next 12 months, but I think it will primarily be on the supply side. At least I hope so.
It’s sad that nothing beats OmniGraffle.

Ideally, I want diagrams-as-code with a supporting layout-as-code document for fine-tuning the presentation and a wysiwyg tool for manipulating that layout-as-code document.

But I understand why none of this exists: the MVP is too big.
On what basis are you saying the interrupt messes it up?

The post directly says that if a migration doesn't happen, then nothing goes wrong.

What messes up is when you do the barrier-needing instructions on one core, and a memory barrier on a completely different core. Which seems pretty expected to me.

If the thing you're describing happens, that does sound like a hardware bug, but I don't see where you got that description from.

Yup. the fed sees it coming too. in one of their speeches they even hinted that the dollar may not be the global reserve currency forever.
Five Reasons the Sanctions Are Working
At Palm, the key user need was managing contacts across devices quickly and easily. In order to address this, Jeff Hawkins (the founder of Palm and Handspring with Donna Dubinsky) created a full time job description on the team: “Click Counter”. Her job was to go through each of the core use cases and count EVERY single click it took to achieve that goal. Then she made recommendations on where the friction was and what steps should be eliminated. By focusing on reducing the time it took to achieve every task, the experience became remarkably efficient for looking up a contact, adding a contact, syncing with your PC (1 button press!) etc.

I wonder if this creates more problems than it solves.

For example, imagine there are a bunch of startups trying their hardest to shoe-horn contributions in Django main branch. It puts a lot of load on core developers at Django to reject frivolous features and unnecessary bloat.

The end effect would be that we get features no one asks for and Django becomes even more bloated.

Django is already a very popular framework and has many contributors.
Damn those unscrupulous Apple execs bringing the information age to your pocket.
I am building a project with SaaS Pegasus, which I like. I have the unlimited projects account, allowing me a few experimental versions of my project(s) where I can quickly spin up and try variations of their offerings.
I am in the same boat. I built a CT Log scraping system back in 2016 and once storage got too expensive I migrated the solution to the Censys API.

Our use case is finding phishing sites targeting our customers, CT Logs have been amazing for detecting campaigns early.
This is one of the biggest issues people don't realize. A react dev doing fully frontend stuff is usually paid more than a security guy. Management views this as the developer making a product and giving money. But with insurance no longer covering hacks like they used to, and with the absolute amount of ways into organizations, security people can literally save a company from millions of losses and possible collapse.
Out of that tirade, you chose that to take exception to? Are we meant to interpret this as validation of the rest of the rant or what?
In the case of sqlite (created by D. Richard Hipp) the software is public domain. Development was funded (at least in part) by corporations. The author isn't expecting payments from "ordinary" users.

The author's firm charges hefty fees for consulting services. These are directed at enterprises needing "certified" versions of sqlite. I'm assuming these are companies providing software under military/government contract.

So it's an interesting strategy: release sqlite as public domain. The software is used everywhere, so much so it's an indispensable part of the infrastructure. Then when giant enterprise uses it charge huge fees they gladly pay.

Hipp is without doubt a genuine genius.
IMO separate hardware for your self-hosted network puts you into a whole new class of hosting at "home."
Been on this route for a while. Currently, I have:

- My blog (Jekyll + Apache 2 + nginx)

- An Invidious instance

- My VPN (Wireshark)

- A DNS server (Pi-hole + nginx for DNS-over-TLS)

- My password manager, up to a point (KeePass + OneDrive for backups and sync, but I'm thinking of ways to self-host that)

The big ones left are making my password manager self-hosted, email (not sure if I want to go beyond having my own domain yet) and code repo. I feel these need more reliable hardware and internet connections to be fully viable as self-hosted.
What does "thinking rationally" mean in this context?
I love KFP and this article as well, but this one seems a bit off?

> "One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it."
> Life Lesson: You bring about what you focus on, whether good or bad.

Oogway tells Shifu about his vision that Tai Lung will return, in response Shifu orders that guards and arms at the prison should be doubled to prevent Tai Lung's escape.

Oogway then response with that line, which is basically saying no matter what he does, he's not going to prevent Tai Lung's escape. So the quote seems to be more about the wisdom of accepting your current circumstances so that you can better deal with them (the quote about stilling your mind comes right after.)
It's just a way to avoid SLA breaches. "Of course it wasn't down! It was just infinitely slow!"
