> The problem as I see it is that far too few people are interested in seeing that these issues are solved and even fewer are actively engaged in doing something about solving them.

I forgive people for not knowing. The worst mod abuses are hard to see. When you reveal them, the behavior disappears; either the mods leave on their own accord or Reddit removes them. Then, when you can no longer point to an egregious case, people who didn't see the previous abuses wonder what the problem is: what they see isn't that bad. I guess the solution is to continue sharing and chip away at the problem.

About the video, I only meant to share that linked clip, 30 seconds or so, although that last panel is quite good.

> I'm cynical enough to believe that these trashy distractions are encouraged

I don't think that's cynical. The book by Pomerantsev that I mentioned in another comment, "This Is Not Propaganda", argues such distractions are part of the propaganda targeting democracies.

I think revealing what gets removed gives people a better idea for how forums are managed and encourages healthier conversations by treating us all as equally worthy of access to information. Not necessarily free access, but equal access to what's publicly accessible.

It isn't enough to mark news as fake. Some people won't believe you. But when you start to show what is removed, then people start to have a better sense for what is propaganda and what is not.
I’m a musician who can’t read music notation and found it hard to pick up when I’ve tried. I assume I’m the target demographic for this system. At first glance I can’t for the life of me understand why I’d put the time into learning this. For one, it doesn’t appear to make anything that I personally struggle with any simpler. For two, the entire point of learning to read music is to communicate with other musicians. If I am writing my ideas in some bespoke system that no one else knows, what’s the point?
This is really rude.
I agree re: European examples but my argument there is many of these cities developed over long time periods with stable growth in population, stable industry etc, whereas now it seems like the idea is to simply explode urban housing capacity asap, which leads to the block style or high rise glass and steel.

and of course we can't forget that many places are at an inflection point in population growth so all of this capacity could be vacant in 15-20 years.
I think the innovation, to the extent it exists is just in the marketing space.

This isn't particularly new, because marketing is a continual process of consumer discovery as people and demographics change.
Is it the same newspaper that didn't publish a commissioned book review because it wasn't favourable enough and the editor was friends with the author of the book?
Another manifestation of problems in higher education. It’s not just software.

If you read up on the sociology of professional specialization you’ll learn that most technical complexity in a field is there for competitive purposes. Jargon exists more exclude and obscure than to facilitate.

So one predicts less productivity as competition increases lead to complexification of professions. This is all because higher education is broken. One of the functions of higher education, perhaps it’s most important function, is allocating human capital efficiently. It’s fully derelict in this, preferring instead to sell credentials to labor that labor doesn’t need, at the expense of the debt holders and students, to the delight of corporations. The result is zero productivity going back to the early 70’s.
Show HN: Daily Dune Quotes Reader
I've been a fan of Frank Herbert's Dune novels and love many quotes sprinkled throughout the books. However I couldn't find an easy way to go back to them, so I curated them and put them in a web-app. It currently covers the entire first book, but am working toward covering all six. I hope Dune novels fans here enjoy it.
Top search result for "alternative music notation" is https://www.dodekamusic.com which looks like it has the same ideas, plus a rectangular rhythm design which makes it all _look_ different at a glance (for better or worse)
I'd be tempted to just use sort(1) in that situation and say "what? it's in C" if questioned.
You're allowed to disagree with me. I don't claim to be the ultimate authority and I have no power to enforce my opinions. If I were your tech lead and you wanted to use Hare for something I would probably say no but we could have a discussion about it and you might convince me otherwise. But that's not the context here. This is a programming forum, so I will speak my mind.
Like a hybrid NNCP-GO and nebula sdn. Neat!
I use it so I can connect to my work machine (dynamic IP on office wifi) from my laptop (dynamic IP, home Wifi).

It's also great to be able to just ssh into your laptop at home when you're at work and you forgot to push whatever you were working on last night.

It's not necessary, but Tailscale makes a lot of things just easier.
There are some new food brands here in Germany which sell their stuff at 10 times more than their competition in the supermarket.
The only differentiating thing i see is their packaging.
This "we are doomed" attitude is unhelpful towards positive change. It forces us towards selfishness and away from empathy and mutual-support. In some ways, it is a self-fulfilling perception of the world. It is an excuse for personal inaction.

I was deeply depressed with this attitude a year ago, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. What helped, was helping. Specifically volunteering and volunteerism. Realizing that the world doesn't revolve around my experience, and that I can make a positive affect on people's lives.

If you're worried about climate change (like I was, like I am), join a cause to address it like Citizens' Climate Lobby, the Environmental Voter Project, or something local. If you're worried about food insecurity, help at a food bank, at your local urban farming project. If you do this, you'll quickly realize that we are not alone in our feelings, and through that togetherness we are powerful.
>but I still question whether the average person in the average country is better off with the risk that their government mismanages target inflation

In recent history (say the past 50 years), how many countries have experienced serious inflation problems that were caused by orthodox, well-founded attempts to manage target inflation?

As far as I know, the answer is none. If you have a country where the leadership (usually dictatorial, autocratic, one-party or some variation thereon) has adopted policies that are already leading to economic disaster, then hyperinflation is something you tend to get along with - it's a symptom, not a cause.

I've integrated keycloak for SSO between several self hosted apps and boy I had no idea what I was doing but copy paste config from left and right from various sites which worked in the end but does SSO have to be this complicated?

Can someone recommend a simpler solution to integrate SSO with online tools (like NextCloud, Discourse, Wiki.js, Gitea etc)?

Does anyone have experience with Authentik?
Yes, I can stuff a sack with straw for $2 and call it a mattress, but it's not going to be as comfortable. Making a better product—for some measurement of better—often makes it more expensive.
> Bitcoin is deflationary, a CBDC would not be. This is the biggest pro-Bitcoin argument.

That's not actually a pro-Bitcoin argument. It's just an artifact the peculiar ideologies that influenced Bitcoin's creator. Deflation hurts economic activity, but benefits hoarders.
> Production might be declining but it’s not because we are running out

More pointedly, it's declining because we're swapping it out. American oil companies are returning cash to shareholders. Not investing in new wells. OPEC, similarly, sees the writing on the wall, preferring to cash in now even if it means cannibalising future demand through sustained high prices.
If I understand right you are saying that the # of symbols Perl employs makes it hard to understand or read, correct?

TL;DR; I would say that you assertion is context sensitive.
- For a junior Perl programmer or an outside expert those symbols are stumbling blocks.
- For an intermediate Perl programmer and up, those symbols are tools that make the code more readable and expressive.

I got two ways of looking at that. First, I would look at Perl in the context of language. It is a more context sensitive language than some of it's close competitors. When you understand those \ $ % @ & sigils you gain the ability to know at a glance the context in which data is being used. Understanding @_, $_, allows you to write shorter code without sacrificing meaning. Part of the Perl philosophy is TIMTOWTDI. Most of those special variables also have an English equivalent. Instead of using $) which I never remember I can use $EGID, or if I think that's not explicit enough then I can use $EFFECTIVE_GROUP_ID to really spell it out.

The second way is that Perl has a steeper learning curve than it's close competitors. I see this like comparing Vim to Notepad++ and Emacs, or Haskell to well most other functional programming languages. Just because it took longer to learn, that doesn't mean it's better or worse at creating good code. It does mean that armchair pundits are less likely to be correct in their hot takes. They lack experience and understanding.
It’s also massively unsafe to drive in general, so we should probably ban the usage of cars wherever possible.
I'm quite optimistic about the future, and most scenarios I'm preparing for, both including and not including collapse, involve me owning my own hardware, software, and data as much as possible, because I've been burned by version creep, planned obsolescence, and hastily retired services, etc. way too many times to count.

So, as much as possible, my "CollapseOS" involves only languages with stable runtimes, data formats readable for many years already, and hardware which lets me access the filesystem, leveraging the Lindy Effect as much as possible.
In what way is it twice as good? Even if it were somehow objectively twice as good, is it really a good value to pay 12X for something 2X as good?
I really don’t agree on the underwear either. If you’re used to having something next to your skin and it doesn’t bother you, that’s great but there are very noticeable and quantifiable differences in fabrics, cuts, and fit if you pay a little more.
Bombas was founded in 2013. They’ve definitely been around a while at this point.
i wanted to to use tailscale really bad, but since you cannot login without the given choices they provide, i am not sure any security minded person would mind using it.

i rolled my own with a simple vps, a haproxy and ansible.
The fact that a FAANG spent hundreds of man years on their bespoke solution, already implies that theirs is not a solution for small problems. Small problem solvers should not look at FAANG for solutions, but at other small businesses.

More often than not, small problems require small solutions...

What a travesty of exploitation that has occurred on most of the African continent.

Beautiful land, beautiful people, exploited for labour and commerce for centuries.

That bill is going to come due at some point. In the meantime, the people suffer.

Plex
Audiobookshelf - Kind of like plex, but for audiobooks
n8n - automation tool
Heimdall - browser start page with shortcuts to all of these apps
Nginx Proxy Manager - Reverse proxy and wildcard cert hosting.
Bookstack - note taking app.
Pihole - ad blocker and local DNS.
YoutubeDL-material - archiving youtube videos.
FileRun - gdrive replacement.
iCloudPd - sync's pics and videos from iphone to local server
Gitea - git server
Code-Server - webbased IDE/VS code in browser.
Shiori - like pocket or wallaby or read-it-later bookmarking.
Seeing that this is turning into a comment section with answers to the question in the title of the article, instead of comments on TFA, here goes my list:

* Miniflux as an RSS reader

* Home Assistant for home automation stuff with various door/window/movement sensors, Hue management, workflows like bedtime and welcome home

* AdGuard for DNS adblocking

* An OpenVPN VPN for me to get into my home network, and another to a VPS in another country that my network gets routed over when connecting to geoblocked content ( ip sets are awesome)

* Not really self-hosted per se ( just local) and as a replacement for what some here self-host, Obsidian for note taking and wiki.
Sorry, not trying to be rude, I wasn't sure what the links were intended to convey.

I think some people (such as HN users) would like that. The closest client to that description that I've seen may be:

> the markets rose because everyone was piling to get that same post-911 dip

What? The market (SPX) dipped 35% within a couple weeks in March 2020. Yes, it rose afterwards, because the FED opened the floodgates, but there was a very significant dip first.
I have a home server running Plex, but access is local only. I'd love to run some other applications as well, but I need to access these remotely.

Anyone have a simple, straightforward and secure process for remote access to a home server?
> Replacing sfh lots with multi use buildings doesn’t affect the access to nature in any way.

It may if it just pushes people who prefer sfhs farther outside of the urban core, thus increasing the distance between urban core and nature. Maybe if you can pass zoning laws to prevent it, but that seems like a politically uphill battle (if there's already an existing state or national park or conservation area, it's probably not at risk of becoming a subdivision, but it will be hard to keep a patchwork of farms, acreages, and privately owned timber from being parceled off to meet the demand for single family dwellings).

You are awesome and cool and raking in the kudos and bucks if you are piling yet more stuff (especially big, complex, and unstable stuff) on top.

If we're going to be cheeky, it's almost certainly BIND (behind unbound and nsd, driven by blacklists fed by minemeld), followed by ISC DHCP and other plumbing running in the background like mrtg/sflow/pnp/netdisco.
If we're going to just talk about user interactive self-hosting then it would be a toss-up between my private searx instance and kodi via diskless netbooted openelec. Roundcube, sandstorm and invidious get honourable mentions
> English [is] three languages in a trenchcoat

I love it.
I think there are people who understand economics who think that inflation is often a good thing. Here for example is a quote from Investopedia’s article on Inflation:

“Most of the time, deflation is unambiguously a positive trend for the economy, but it can also under certain conditions occur along with a contraction in the economy.”

Now deflation caused by a deflationary currency is probably not unambiguously good in the same way as deflation caused by increased production.

But are there not any respectable economists who would argue that a deflationary currency might not be so bad?
Few of the comments seem to focus on Lit, the "anti-framework," which is a very valid alternative.

In Lit, there are *no* pre-built components. No boxes or buttons or controls or routing. None. You make what you need.

Sounds daunting but, as the author points out, it frees you from cruft. You make only what you need. YOU design the API and syntax. And you add/remove whatever you want, whenever.

It would be hard for me to go back to canned components after Lit! Try the interactive tutorial:

I wrote my first web scraper in Perl. It was a great experience. I miss the community mostly.
I'm working at https://dice.fm, we're an entertainment ticketing platform (gigs, festivals, comedy, etc). At it's core we're really just an ecommerce platform but do have to deal with larger events that will sell out extremely quickly.

We've found it tough to hire elixir engineers because there just aren't that many but we're really happy with the tech choice none the less. We're quite a small engineering team and managing to support a global platform and build out new functionality at a really great pace even with our small team. We don't require elixir experience, just an interest or desire to work in it full time. We're forunate that we have a good pool of senior elixir engineers who've been using it for several years so we have a good codebase for people to learn from.

So from our side, we're not working on any "ground breaking new technology", we're just building something rock solid that offers a lot of value to partners and fans vs the competition. For the record we're super happy with our choice of Elixir!

I have seen a bunch of blockchain companies hiring elixir engineers over the past year or so, I suspect quite a few of elixir engineers are working in those startups as well.
They are absolutely VPNs. If you don't like my term "general purpose" that's fine, but they 100% fit the definition of VPN.
I'm not even arguing the product has merit. I'm arguing the only that would be remotely interesting about what you're saying is if you took the time to do even a cursory amount of research and justify the position.

It's much easier to compete with Calvin Klein. People aren't buying Calvin Klein for quality, they are buying it for the brand. Fashion is a fickle beast, with constant churn and changing tastes, where a young brand with its finger on the pulse can make a name for itself. The purchasers are less price sensitive, which is ideal for small brands who don't have economy of scale and deep supply networks.

On the other hand, Fruit of the Loom competes primarily on price. To stand a chance here you need scale. You'd need to bootstrap massive production capability, source cheap materials and labor, and try to find a way to either sell directly with a razor thin per-customer acquisition cost, or to build up relationships with massive distributers who will further cut your margins.
I also use random email aliases for my domain. The random username is because I don't want people to be able to search my username for a service and link me to other accounts online.
This kind of discourse doesn't make depressed because of its content, but because of how BORING it can quickly become.

These sort of articles are so boring. Give me a date, or a year. Otherwise Doomers will continue to be vague and when something does happen, maybe, they’ll all come out of the woodwork saying I told you so.

Until then I’ll enjoy the unprecedented prosperity we’re enjoying here on earth.

It’s the same with stock market doomers, housing doomers, etc etc. no one ever gives a specific date. People just make unfalsifiable claims.

The first time I used XSD was in 2001 I think, for a format we were developing to do human rights violation reporting.

In one part of the document would be a list of people committing violations, another part a list of people witnessing violations, and then in another part violations.

The violations part would have attributes saying what people had taken part in the violation, and who had witnessed. These attributes were a comma separated list of ids.

This structure is of course easy to represent with XPath, probably via Schematron. But there is no real way to represent this kind of context dependent structure in the first version of XSD (I have not kept up for reasons that shall become clear).

Which led me to declare that XSD sucks. Although I have to admit that Henry Thompson is a great programmer, and one of the most worthwhile speakers on technical issues I have ever had the pleasure to here, and while his model of XSD validation as a finite state machine is also elegant it still does not make it suck any less because the standard could not validate many common markup structures.
Given what you explained, it seems to me that the cloud was an excuse given by the new overlords to just get you out off the way. Cloud is fashionable now, but any excuse would work for them. This seems to be a power grab.
I don't wear Bombas, but i do wear Darn Tough socks, which are in a similar price range as Bombas. I can say, all their socks, especially the thinner socks from Darn Tough are 1000x more comfortable and durable than any 'traditional' sock brand.

That said, I consider them a luxury and not a necessity. If I had a tighter budget, I'd have no issue wearing traditional brands, but I do enjoy the extra comfort.

Also, with Darn Tough the socks have a lifetime guarantee, so in theory I shouldn't have to ever buy socks again. Generally the socks I've gotten from walmart/tj maxx/any department store the elastic starts to go after a few years.
It looks like there's not a textual query interface to it at the moment. Do I have that wrong or are you interested in adding a high level query interface in the future?
> Bitcoin is deflationary, a CBDC would not be. This is the biggest pro-Bitcoin argument

Except Bitcoin is not deflationary. It's fixed supply. Those are separate, if related, characteristics. In the last year it's been roughly flat, with the word "roughly" doing a lot of work, given its volatility that would make a Zimbabwean central banker blush.

Russia has nuclear weapons, but seemingly nothing else sitting around to use. They’re over extended in Ukraine already.
I disagree. With web and distributed computing I could anything I wanted by putting together “turds.”

I think Sun failed because they thought that expensive, complicated hardware and software was required for business. And it was for like old business. But new, Internet businesses meant lots of small distributed tasks that didn’t require anything that Sun made and could be done on el cheapo hardware and software.

It’s like those old people who complained that mp3 wasn’t as good audio as whatever. They’re right but it doesn’t matter.

Obviously, Sun hardware was better but it was like 100x the cost for 3x improvement. So everyone did the math and skipped Sun. And people sound funny complaining about turds.
