Any chance that, by limiting RAM usage, you forced your application to heavily swap, clogging the disk and making your machine slow?

I have run a public gateway on 2GB of RAM. Later 4GB because it was subject to very heavy abuse, but it was perfectly possible. Perhaps it is a matter of knowing how to configure things and how to not inflict self-pain with wrong settings.
I would tend to agree, unless pinning is enforced/the default.
This field was a blocker for me as well. If the channel field was an async select that helped autocomplete lookup channel urls by channel name, this would be way more convenient.

My use case would be for ham radio. Lots of ham radio YouTubers film their QSOs (conversations) and mention the callsigns that they make contact with. I want to find the channels that mention my callsign and I'm sure lots of other hams would want to know. Anywho cool project. GL 73
The problem with a system like this, is that the criminal justice system and educational system is now being politicized. If you want some specific people not to assert power in the system, then you create an educational system that gives them low grades or a criminal justice system that ensures they have a criminal record.
I was talking about Microsoft being an offender in general, not necessarily anything specific to this deal.

That said, each new datapoint a large data broker like Microsoft gets adds that much more to their ability to deanonymise you, regardless of whether you're logged in to any of their services or not. This can happen more directly (e.g. shared, long-lived cookies), or indirectly via techniques like fingerprinting.
In this context, I'd imagine cheaper from an R&D + Manufacturing side. But equally this probably is the case - if adding a screen requires adding a much more powerful microcontroller to drive it, it probably adds a fair bit of cost

That is likely a consequence of a requirement of the Fair Credit Reporting Act under which you must be told when information in your credit file is used against you to deny your application for credit, employment or insurance.

I haven’t been denied in a long time, but my recollection was the refusal was from the lender and included “we may have used information from <reporting agencies>; here’s how you can get a free copy of the information in your file…”
This article would be better if the it provided concrete examples at each level. An example of "leveling up" an idea would also be useful. Otherwise it's a little too vague.

Tangentially, "factoid" is one of those words whose meaning is changing because it doesn't sound like what it means. The actual/original definition is "something false that's repeated so often it becomes true". Ironically, the definition of factoid is itself a sort of factoid.

> that logic has been hard-coded inside

The thing is what some things are literally hardcoded. I have a whole bunch of network gear circa 2010 in production.

It does support IPv6, but for the most part it is extremely rudimentary. What do you want from a box what implements SSH by running a telnet session over a no-auth SSH session?

And while I can run the latest Windows/Linux/Whatever on my server gear, the network gear is not that simple to upgrade.

>The same thing is true with the calendar/contacts there is no cardav/caldav sync.

The lack of CardDav and CalDav are absolute deal breakers for me. If I can't get my contacts and calendars into my preferred apps on my phone there's just no way they'll get adoption from me. I stick with Fastmail because it just works for mail, calendars and contacts across all of my devices and apps.

For context the company is Floqast, accounting software SaaS. They raised $110M in July 2021 at 40x revenue (with an aggregate $93M raised over the 4 years prior). They’re proudly waving that Unicorn banner everywhere they can. 180 employees end of 2020 and 500 today on the way to 725.
It was always been like that in properly configured enterprise systems, that is why we used to connect to UNIX development servers, instead of having a worstation on each desk.

> Swedish garages are never used for cars.

A bunch of American garages are the same way. There are lots of 2 car garages in suburbs that only have enough empty space for 1 car, if any at all. I suspect that this may be more of a widespread phenomenon than I had realized.

Growing up, I'd hear of all of these big tech companies that got started in some guy's parent's garage. I considered my parent's 1 car garage: mom complained when she couldn't put the car in it, and the rest was filled with tools and the lawnmower. No way a company other than a car shop could get started there.

> especially so since the entire concept of UNIX is that everything is a stream of bytes.

I consider this an archaic, anachronistic, ancient, outdated, primitive (they all mean the same thing; I just used a thesaurus to really drive home my point) file model. While it made sense for the limited computers of the early 1970s, it is extremely hobbling today and the fact that no one really complains about it is... quite astounding. If every file is merely a bag of bytes, then every native program shall have its own file-parsing/byte-parsing routine. What a waste of effort, writing and rewriting parsers over and over again.

The fact that one has to write a shell script that is interpreted, and itself calls not one, but three other binaries (cat, grep, awk) with arcane, not-easily-remembered flags just to extract out certain words in the last several lines of a file is... ridiculous. That you have to call 'file' instead of directly querying the OS or shell for file attributes is farcical. Consider PowerShell or Python as alternatives to shell scripting. In the former, the entire .NET library is available; in the latter, the default libraries may be imported as one sees fit, and additional libraries are available online.

> defeats the purpose of the OS abstracting it away for the user

The UNIX philosophy does a poor job of 'abstracting it away from the user'. For well-abstracted OSes, see any smartphone today (especially iPhones).

Furthermore, not every UNIX/Linux user interacts with their computer solely over the command line; I use KDE Plasma, for instance. In general, when I see a file on Linux with no extension, I expect it to be a binary; I am surprised when it is, in fact, a shell script.
There's yet another credit score type system that has significant effects on the ability to participate in the financial system that's much less known:

https://www.investopedia.com/what-to-know-and-do-if-you-re-l...

It's known (quite infamously) to essentially keep unbanked populations unbanked. Long story short if you've had overdraft fees, bounced checks, etc opening new accounts at banks that utilize ChexSystems becomes nearly impossible.

On one hand there have clearly been people that have taken advantage of banks being siloed and abuse overdraft protection, etc to essentially get loans they can knowingly abscond with. Just move on to another bank. Repeat.

On the other hand, ChexSystems is much less well known and a bit more "shadowy". The old story of "I use my debit card, mismanage my activity against direct deposit/balance, get hit with overdraft, then overdraft again once the fee hits, etc and next thing I know I'm $500 in the hole because of a $2.50 debit at a convenience store and now I'm essentially banned from every bank."

In the case of the debit card example (or credit cards) banks could do what they used to and actually decline the charge. However they've clearly figured out it's much more profitable to allow the charge and just hit people with (often excessive) overdraft and over credit limit fees.
> There has been a major computing cycle every 10-15 years.

> We believe blockchains will power the next major computing cycle, which we call crypto or web3

> For example, with mobile computing, the golden era was 2009-11, when companies like Uber, Venmo, Snap, and Instagram were started.

> We think we are now entering the golden era of web3.

Prior cycles were pushed by demand after a key innovation (computers, internet, smartphones) changed our habits. Uber became popular because taxi companies were slow to adapt to smartphones. Venmo become popular because the banks were slow to adapt to smartphones. Snap and Instagram become popular because everyone suddenly had a camera on them.

Cryptocurrencies became popular due to distrust in the economy, but they did not prove to be a viable replacement. The dream of buying a pizza with Bitcoin is still a dream. At some point venture capitalists realized that they can pump and dump shitcoins, they just have to convince greater fools that they are useful, that they are the future. This is why we have this NFT and Web3 bonanza. There is no demand for them, they don't solve any problem, nor they try to. They are just shiny things for bagholders to look at. Rather than blockchain technology, it's distrust, desperation and greed what's behind it all.
Very much possible. Non street level dealers tend to prefer repeat customers vs large volume of random people. Because of that they tend to monitor quality of their own products. I've met dealers who go as far as actually wash the product. Funny enough, the only time I bought from a random guy, I got baking soda instead.
In that case I would be curious if these differences show themselves in people from different cultures that consume Turmeric en masse. For example, my aging parents consume significant amounts of turmeric (approx. 250 mg) for 2 out of 3 meals every day.
Getting a 3.5x multiplier for a charity that is mostly waste puts you more or less back at 1x.

Which is not to say you shouldn't help people. It is to say that the best way to help may not be registered and legislated charity. Mutual aid is a powerful thing - you can enable communities around you to be self-determining, rather than funding a bunch of salaried assholes to decide what they need.

Go find a mutual aid organization near you. Set up a big chunky recurring contribution. And if you're feeling intrepid, get to know some of the people and learn how you can help out on the ground.
I'm fortunate that Mom and Dad have been considering this and have been actively thinning their possessions as they age.

- You need 3 clients, minimum—Web, iOS, Android—or you're not an alternative. None of them can be way different from or far worse than the others.

- Like 90% of the benefit of Zoom (and other large video & voice chat providers) is their backend infrastructure. You cannot justify replicating that for a small single-customer or small group installation. It'd be far too expensive. So your open-source solution is ~always going to be worse. ("We've also had mixed results testing with team members far away on rough connections, where audio/video was workable in zoom but sometimes unworkable with our internal setup.")

- "they can't really do department meetings or let alone an all-hands type of meeting with ~1000 people on the call." Those should be broadcast as one-way streaming video, anyway. Set it up like a live video "podcast" or twitch stream with text chat for questions from the audience, if needed.
I like the idea of it being possible. Just because it's a feature doesn't mean you have to use it.

For one thing, I assume such a system would have the ability to pin certain versions/hashes. If I (the user) can pin a set of hashes that are allowed to run, then I don't care where the actual resources are downloaded from.

Alternatively, if I can give a certificate I trust of someone else to give a 'realtime' list, that would also satisfy my needs.
It would work if you are all fine with using the same login.

If you want separate logins, take a look at Tutanota, it's 1€/month and you can add each family member as a full user.

As to the location, there is no issue, Tutanota is based in Germany, but both options (Switzerland or Germany) are fine for usage from the US. At least I've never heard about anyone complaining.
It's a combination of factors but the gist of it is that they're not preventing anyone from doing it -- nobody wants to do it because they can't justify it.

Designing and selling long-lived consumer products is a tremendous effort in terms of regulatory activity and logistics. And if you're just entering the market, you're entering a market where established players have been sitting on standardizing committees, lobbying regulatory bodies, and have had special deals with manufacturers, transporters, TV channels and shopping malls since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, and have been able to leverage them when dealing with online shops since the days of the dotcom boom.

Furthermore, getting that "more of the market share" requires actual first sales to happen in the first place. Selling fewer, better, and inherently more expensive products by claiming that yours are really good and last a long time is not very straightforward at all: it's not like everyone else is openly advertising that they're selling cheap junk that's worse than their 1980s versions in every way except maybe power consumption (because we can make better power supplies now). If you're selling kitchen stoves that last for twenty years, it's gonna be at least seven or eight years before anyone really believes you.

So all this requires tremendous initial investment in a pretty hostile environment. Consumer markets are already perceived as low-yield and under tremendous price pressure. But, worse, some segments -- household appliances in particular -- also suffer from a "marketshare = dead market" problem: if you sold someone a washing machine that lasts fifteen years, you're not going to sell them another one for fifteen years. So if you're selling things that last for fifteen years, you gotta convince the folks whose money you're depending on that you can keep selling things at a reasonable pace for fifteen years from now, and you won't really know if you've succeeded at your basic value proposition ("we make better things that last longer") for at least seven or eight years into it.

That's not just pretty risky, it's on a timeframe that's about an order of magnitude higher than companies/investment funds/people willing to throw that kind of money into things that run on electricity are able to work with.

That's not to say no one has been entering these markets. They have, but they've usually done it through other value propositions -- stuff that's even cheaper, stuff that's ethically sourced and so on. New premium brands do pop up but they either target prosumer/super premium markets (slang for "super rich people who want to brag or impress"), where the rules are slightly different, or go straight for the professional market first, where the rules of the game are very much different, and use whatever reputation they can make there to start selling home appliances too.
I've leveraged credit quite a lot in my life and paid very little in the way of interest. That leverage has netted me quite a lot of money be it actual return on investment or being able to position myself to earn more, by moving countries.

I tried on this channel which is in Spanish [1] and it returned very fast with no results.

Then tried on GeoWizard channel (English) and it worked great.

There is a somewhat related tool called Youglish that works on subtitles, it's great for checking the pronunciation or usage of a word or expression in many languages, but it's based on a curated list of channels with known good subtitles. I thought yours could be a great complement to this as it works directly on the audio.

For a lot of people involved in the making of networking equipment, there is no scope of influence over increasing the global reach of IPv6. Maybe the documentation and sales folk.

I agree it’s more important that IPv6 rolls out faster and is more widely adopted today.

But as to your original claim “ Any effort that may be applied to reclaiming v4 address space will always be better directed to expanding global v6 connectivity.” is a false dichotomy.
Gotta have a system, and it's likely you're the only one who can build one that works well for you.

The "Tools for Thought" communities on Twitter and Discord are great resources too. For digital tools I spent a year using Roam but switched to Obsidian.md maybe 18 mo ago and love it. Obsidian's Discord is friendly and helpful, v highly recommended. Good luck!

This is a meaningless statement when you consider there is only one president. The person cannot disagree with themself. The executive branch does not have to debate and compromise with itself.
