I believe, we will both agree, that best for all world, if Ukraine will survive invasion, and Taiwan will also survive.
Or if China will decide to not invade at all, considering what US sanctions are doing to Russia.

- For me one possible explanation of all these crazy things, that Russian officials in reality are puppets of Chinese, and this way China tests, what will happen if...
And now Chinese have received dataset, an will decide, are possible consequences acceptable for them.
I wrote a PPPoE client with failover so I can keep the session even when one of my gateways fails or is rebooted (this lets me do regular maintenance without interrupting my internet connection); I put it on github[1], but I doubt anyone will use it. I hope there are few people left with the scourge that is PPPoE, and my OS choice means many people would need to switch OSes to use it, so yeah. Also, I don't care to make it easy to use or to promote it, really. (I've mentioned it once or twice and did a Show HN that got less than ten votes, which I kind of expected).

I've also got my personal (network) monitoring software, some 'IoT' stuff to capture temperature and humidity data around my house, and I'm working on a ESP32 based alarm clock pulling data from iCalendar feeds.

Nothing beats black electrical tape that you can easily put over microphones and cameras when you don't want them to be live... It's going to really be the easiest and most reliable way to ensure a decent level of privacy moving forward. I've been using it for ages now.
The storage system is highly available, but the data is not guaranteed to be :)
also, keep practicing 24/7.
I've also wondered if the high amount of income disparity in California is at least partially explained by the high amount of cost of living disparity in California.

There is a high amount of population that lives in agricultural areas like the Central Valley where the cost of living is drastically lower than the very population dense cities.

If you compare the people there to the relatively smaller number of high income earners who live in the excessively high cost cities of Los Angelos, San Francisco, etc. then on a graph its going to look unfair.

Even though the house in the Central Valley might actually be much bigger and nicer if you are ok living in the suburbs/ex-urbs.
There's IIRC 3 or 4 people in their department, they administer the whole building (wifi, security cams, LDAP, etc.), not only the on-premises servers. From what I gathered, our internal systems usually go down due to lack of disk space or some bug in the software which requires merely a reboot, it's not rocket science. Another thing is that our IT department (for internal systems) and the SRE department (for client-facing systems) have 24/7 on-call duty so it's unlikely that no one will respond.
With all due respect, that's the point of sanctions. You've brought it up as some sort of gotcha. It's not. They're a means to cripple the war-making ability of a nation without actually bombing them into submission or shooting them. As such they're not just placed on a nation for fun or random purposes.
What? North Korean government is the most totalitarian, brutal, ruthless state in the world today. You can't just play "there is no victim" card when you illegally help out an enemy government like that. Even if you're ideologically or for some other reason inclined to support NK, you need to understand that being a US citizen makes your actions extremely impactful on world stage. It seems like Virgil was truly in a position to help NK, which makes him responsible.

I think the punishment is not nearly enough. I believe the same thing should be done to people helping Russia evade sanctions too.
Funny that you read that article as “debunking”. All I see is a bunch of opinions (mostly partisan) and guesses, with the company itself not releasing any details. What are you reading that I’m not?
I have a fairly large blu-ray collection (~300 movies, ~15 complete TV series). I rip them and serve them with Jellyfin, which works, but due to codec annoyances, I need to transcode them to run on web browsers, and the SBC I'm running Jellyfin + ZFS on is not really fast enough to transcode in real time.

Since I have a ton of little SBCs sitting around my house, I decided to write a clojure app the queues up and transcodes my movies to H264. It uses Docker Swarm to handle distribution of nodes, RabbitMQ to queue up the movies, and core.async to handle local queuing within the application, and uses the Java NIO filesystem stuff to handle any kind of atomicity.

It's hardly the "first" or the "best" at what it does, but the advantage of writing your own is of course that you can tailor it exactly to your setup, and of course it was fun to write.

Dude, have you ever even used an iPhone 13 Pro?
Believe me, the macros you take with this phones are stunning.
And lighting and stabilization are a determining factor for macro even with cameras, actually even more so for cameras than phones.

These pictures btw were not taken this way. The reason I know is because I talked to the Italian winner and Apple about exactly that.

>"Kimberly Sandoval holds a ticket in her hand in disbelief. Her infraction: being in possession of spare bicycle parts."

>"She has also been ticketed for being in possession of a tent, a lawn chair and a Bluetooth speaker—all items newly banned at the Civic Center under an ordinance passed by the City of Santa Ana late last year."

>"Also prohibited under the new law: shopping carts, pallets, golf clubs, hockey sticks, screwdrivers, solar panels, mattresses, carpets, anything that can be used as a temporary toilet or as an outdoor shower, and storing or sorting recyclable materials."

>"In addition, the ordinance established a new permitting process for charity and social service organizations that offer food or medical services to the Civic Center’s homeless population, a move that residents and providers say has led to a steep drop off in aid."
Interesting take.

Personally, I like JIRA. I think it adds a ton of transparency in our org, and while I've used Trello for personal and home projects, I don't see how it's good enough for business. Trello doesn't even allow for time estimates (last I tried), which for us is part of planning. Search in JIRA is also really good, so no ticket is ever just lost to the ether.

Sure, it's not perfect, and waiting for a board to load is annoying, but for distributed work and visibility, I haven't seen something as professionally useful.

Open to exploring though.
The thing I want to look into that this article points out is how the thesis of "building dense housing is good / reduces housing costs" is panning out. Article seems to be saying that it isn't - here in CA, and elsewhere in the world - and TBH, that makes some sense to me, now.

"There keep being more people in the world, and they keep wanting to live in the same places" isn't resolvable by making those places able to handle more people - it's resolved by making more of those places. Seems to me, anyway, but I haven't exactly done any actual research on this.

(Although you do need enough housing in those places, or you haven't actually created more of the desirable housing, just made the existing housing more desirable, and there's lots of those existing places that definitely do need more housing.)

I've written and still writing small tools to help with my work or personal computing life all the time. Some of them live long and become sophisticated tools, some of them stay as small scripts to help with mundane tasks.

The most used one is a tools called Railgun (https://github.com/hbayindir/railgun/) for sending e-mails from command line via Mailgun.

I've also built a backup tool for SMB shares [0], a simple time tracker [1], and a semi-sophisticated tool for helping me managing PXEBoot symbolic links[2].

Currently I'm working on, albeit slowly, on a tool for organizing Pocket (https://www.getpocket.com) items.

Well, that's going in my Wordles bookmark folder.

I'm curious whether this one will have staying power. The Wordles I've given up on have generally been either too easy after developing a decent strategy (e.g. Nerdle), or questionable in some fashion (e.g. Crosswordle often includes at least one word that you won't find in a normal dictionary). "Questionable" for Redactle might look like overly technical articles where no amount of un-redacting will get you to the answer. "Easy" would be the opposite. I think it comes down to curation; the best Wordles have puzzles selected much like the word list of the original Wordle.
A social media client to my and a friend presences: interacting with followers, more with the more important ones, proposing new ones to follow or some to unfollow (and doing that in bulk), and a few other handy shortcuts. It runs serverless crashing maybe once a month for always novel reasons and costs me like 60$ (AWS costs) and a few hours of programming every month.
I had a nice little Python hack that would watch the weather and set the color of a light in the foyer based on the weather, and override that with a dim red at night because I really did not want a bright blue light when I got up late on a rainy night. I never set up the lights after moving across the country so it’s been dormant.

(There are services out there that can set the color of a light based on the weather, OR on the time, but I’ve never found anything that can do both.)
Nice! I had the same idea for my dumb speakers, except that i somehow want to detect my chromecast-audio is not playing/is playing.

I used to do this with a relay connected to 5v usb of my tv. But i got rid of my tv.
I wouldn't call it a full interpreter, it just walks expressions' AST. No way to create class/abstractions.
I have certain expectations how our home should function, but I don't expect my partner to do the work of meeting those expectations. I put them on myself. My partner has certain expectations of how the home should function. They should put those expectations on themselves. Work toward shared expectations should be shared.

I would assert that when one partner works disproportionately toward meeting the unshared expectations of the other partner (than vice versa), they are being exploited by that partner. Society frequently privileges some expectations over others. Consequently, one partner often feels disproportionately entitled to work from the other partner to fulfill their expectations.

The most complicated one I created was a widget showing the status of the factory where I was working at the time.

This wasn't strictly speaking for personal use, but I created it and I was the only one who used it as far as I know.

The info was the same as the main status screen, but I made it frameless and always on top of other programs, and gesture aware. It was about 150 px by 700 px, with little blinkenlights for the statuses. It hung out on the right side of my screen and I could see at a glance whether things were running or not. There was a button to summon the main screen for more details.

The main work was understanding how to handle windows, and UX refinements.
Interesting architecture. From a design point of view, I like the idea of full isolation. From an infrastructure point of view I'm a little scared. I'd assume it's actually not that bad and there's a good way to manage the individual DBs and scale them individually.

Really interested if you can share any details.

Edit: I know each wiki is on a subdomain. Does each wiki also have it's own server?

> Labor is how we create wealth. It is the only way we create wealth.

No. As noted above, wealth is also generated from capital. Sometimes in conjunction with labor, sometimes not.

> Wealthy people get to purpose more of their time than poor people do.

No. Everyone has the same amount of time in a day. A better way to phrase this is that some people produce more wealth per unit of time than others.

> Now, those who created the means expect to be valued and for the means to have value.

No. I would say that the means are valuable, objectively, and independent of the desires of their creators. The focus on expectations here is irrelevant.

> And there is the harm done.

No. The value is not a subjective moral figure, it is actual. It represents actual utility, actual demand.

There is much greater harm done by ignoring these types of objective economic truths -- the kind of harm that reliably destroys societies and causes mass famine and death.

> or the people cease to exist.

This is why we have what's called "tax and spend capitalism," where we take a significant portion of gains and use them to provide a safety net.

I've paid roughly half of all of my life's production in taxes, and much of this goes to providing these safety nets. I've additionally written grants and made other large gifts to support others. The amount I have left to live on might be less than 10% of the value of my work product.

Your suggestion that we might need to ignore basic economic realities to provide for others simply doesn't follow. We don't need to do things that way and when we have, historically, it has never succeeded.
Yes, however the severity of the violation is dependent on the influence of the violator. Cuba's violation would be wrong but mostly meaningless compared to the US's.
I have seen those (i) too on WiFi cards. After checking it, I think it means that such WiFi cards only work with some distros. For example [1], it does not work with Ubuntu 20.04 but it does work with Ubuntu 21.04.

The irony of the push for "diversity" everywhere is that it all gets averaged together over time, becoming more homogeneous. To increase diversity, you need zones of heterogeneity that express wider differences.
What effect has the legalization of pot in various US states had on violence in Mexico? I thought Mexico was about to legalize it themselves, what's happening with that? This seems like the USA experience with Prohibition, if it's not a crime, the criminals have less control over it.

Slight OT: I am thinking about buying a camera. I have never had a good camera system nor I ever had a flagship phone (iPhone/Samsung/Pixel). I though a mirrorless with good lenses would be a good starting choice. I don't want to do professional photography, I just want to shoot holidays in nature and my upcoming baby. I did some internet research and was blown away when people compare photos from best phones to photos from mirrorless/DSLR cameras. My impression now after some research is that you can get better looking images from camera if you are willing to do some post-processing in Lightroom, etc. If you compare raw images then a lot of times people tend to say that the one taken on a phone looks better (I know it might not look more "real", just that people like it more). Would you agree that buying a camera is worth only if you are willing to do a lot of preparation and post processing but if not just buy a phone with all the advantages it brings? Is it even worth buying a camera in 2022 if you are targeting a price of about what top model iPhone costs?

Let's leave pure love of photography aside for the sake of argument.
> A colleague of mine tracks all of his homes energy use through a custom program which disaggregates the energy consumption per device and outputs a report to a tablet.

This might not be in the "spirt" of this post but your colleague might be interested in looking into Home Assistant. Don't worry, there is plenty of space for custom scripts within HA, but it might be a nice foundation for them to build on as it has energy monitoring stuff built in as well as a way to visualize it all.

Isn't that kind of the point, to show to the partner that you have expectations for how certain things are done in a certain way for a certain reason that they might not have had an appreciation for.

It can in fact be an avenue to dig into the deeper communication issues, e.g. if there's a pattern of downplaying expressed concerns or assumptions without actual communications, it's gonna surface real quick if the partner ruins a power tool (or the non-stick pan, or the monthly budget, or whatever) if they don't follow certain rules.
So, I wouldn't argue that no one would benefit from a pill, or that there aren't situations and/or people who need a change of perspective, or an alleviation of pain so they can survive long enough to get through the storm.

It's not so much that I think drugs are bad for treatment of psychological problems; it's that I think that of your issues (3) is radically neglected in contemporary psychiatry.

"Treatment resistant depression" as an idea in studies such as this is sort of telling in that it assumes the problem is the pain, rather than whatever potential external problems someone is dealing with.

A good analogy to me would be someone who keeps coming into the ER with bullets in their body every couple of months (maybe in a conflict zone like Ukraine), but where the case is construed in terms of the pain the bullet causes, rather than the fact there are bullets in their body and the person is in a situation where they keep getting shot at. I don't want to oversimplify things, as the environment and situation is generally attended to, but the paradigm as a field is to treat the disease as the pain the patient is suffering ("depression" as a disease), rather than the scenario as a whole, and to act as if the pain is an attribute of the patient rather than as part of an appropriate response to a problematic situation.

So yes, depression as a phenomenon is a complex mixture of things, but I think in general, at least in the US, it tends to be seen as a disease that's a biological property of the person. There are historical reasons for this, some good and some bad, but I think it's had unintended consequences as a result.
Lehman Brothers didn't know, Barclay's acquired them for pennies. Same with Bear Sterns (JP Morgan acquired) and Merrill Lynch (BofA acquired).

Also quantitative easing began as a result of the massive loss of trust between banks as a result of the crisis. Every central bank in countries with big financial centers had to follow a similar playbook.
if the dishwasher is full I don't really understand the point of waiting for night to run the dishwasher...there's no more room for dishes in it and someone is going to have to empty it either way, and wouldn't it be better to have the dishes inside clean? Do you not empty the dishwasher at all when you start it during the day, and that's the actual issue?
Really? Most households have a cell phone, though internet access is spotty.
The typical SLA has no teeth because even if the customer gets their money back, the real harm to the customer may be orders of magnitude greater than what they paid for the service. Some services are contractual or tightly embedded and you know you're not gonna lose the customer if your service goes down frequently. If the service provider doesn't lose money or face, they aren't motivated to prevent the downtime.

One alternative I thought of is the Charity SLA. The service provider pledges to give $5,000 to charity for every minute of downtime. Now everyone within the company knows "if we're down, we're losing thousands of dollars a minute!" and thus will be motivated to ensure the services stay up. But even if the services go down, the company's making tax-free donations, which isn't really bad for anybody. The company could even have a specific downtime goal every year, to make sure their monitoring/alerting/runbooks actually work, and to ensure they donate every year.
Why specifically in Eastern Europe though?
