Preface: I agree with you.

I'd be really curious to see an "aging report" for firearms that are used/involved in mass-shooting incidents -- I roughly know the answer for the most recent and most newsworthy (read: horrific) incidents. I'd just like to see more data on the topic, specifically 'time from manufacture to use as a murder weapon', to better understand exactly how much potential impact there is.

I'm aware private sales exist, and the implication that mentally ill people may turn to private sales, but I'd be curious to see the data on this nonetheless.

I'd similarly be curious to see a breakdown/data on "source" of weapons used in incidents like this (and even on attempted/homicides, domestic cases, etc), as well as an aging report -- to better understand how much "impact potential" legislation actually has.

While I do support legislation, I'd also like to better understand how impactful it could be and how quickly we might see an impact; I'm also aware of semi-mixed efficacy from (some) prior legislation (state & federal), though I'm personally still in favor of additional legislation, even if only because my 'gut' says it would be a net positive impact.
I remember seeing an online service that provides the functionality of Pi Hole, blocking ads, protecting privacy and significantly speeding up browsing. Anyone familiar with it? If you’ve tried it, did you like it?
I think it has something to do with the adoption of the meme beyond channer culture. To anyone using the site, it's obvious that some random tripcode user holds no more credibility than an anonymous one.

But perhaps baseless, pseudo-anonymous allegations are given an extra flair of "mysteriousness" and "intrigue" to those who are unfamiliar with the site. The media plays into this: recall the "hackers on steroids" incident.
Pedantic is being the friendly, correcting cynic. Native Spanish speakers use si as si in texts and informal messages all the time. It's understood from context; I think.
To be fair, if nobody tries to improve on something good, we’d never have something better.
May I use your help?

Background about my situation: I've only ever used laptops and Raspberry Pis in my life. Currently, my home server is a couple of RPis but I've outgrown them and need to upgrade.

Point being, I've never built a server from scratch or even opened one up. I am planning to go with this for now: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bzYZcb

What you are suggesting seems a better way for me to go about it. Can you share some links from Ebay or Amazon for the kind of servers I could get? Also, will these servers contain everything I need to get up and running (with the exception of hard drives, of course)?

(I am based in the US.)
Social media is today's tobacco. It's everywhere, it's cool, but people realize after a few years that it's bad for them.

Sugar too. Last generation was sugar subsidies. Now we have sugar tax.

Sugar alternatives are probably like lead. Things like sucralose which has some scientific evidence against them, and things like stevia which have some cultural avoidance, but don't seem like they're properly studied. Western societies seem to be increasingly avoiding it, and it's getting dumped hard into third world countries, in combination with sugar taxes.

EMF could be on the list. Pop science suggests it's completely safe. I've had a guy angrily disagree with me on the internet, posting a link saying it's safe, and yet the link literally said that it's hazardous in very short range.

Phones do have a legal restriction on how much radiation they're allowed to emit. But this all small stuff. Right now, everything is powered on wifi. We have neighbors running high powered routers and repeaters. We're getting Starlink and 5G.

We've established a safe line for EMF exposure but we should probably review it with all the environmental factors coming in at once.
Fantastic little piece of hardware. I got in somewhat late, especially as a content creator, but man has this tiny keyboard made managing my setup so, so much simpler
Not a native Spanish speaker, but i think they mixed up sino and si no.

This is a common typo and they are etymologically the same.

I guess by collapsing multiple words into a single token they collapse the two phrases. Eg. I look again and see finsi which seems strange from a Spanish grammatical sense (just like endif is clearly not English)
> I think what I really want is a work canteen, but open to the public. The economies of scale could make this price competitive and there’s less delivery overhead than the meal prep subscriptions. I like the social aspect too. I would definitely pay a subscription to a canteen.

This would be amazing yes. I don't know why it's not a thing.

It's normal not to do your own books. To fix your own heater. To milk your own cow. In fact I don't even do my own laundry, because there's a shop around the corner that washes, dries and folds a whole bag for 10 bucks. Nobody frowns at that. But not wanting to cook is viewed as really weird.

I just really hate cooking and when I do I do it irritated and in a hurry so it turns out crap.
In East Coast rap studios, MPC3000 was it for a while

SP1200 and MPC3000 were considered standard
Ain’t nobody running for example their company office or research symposium on a 4chan board. That’s the difference that should be obvious to anyone.
Indecent photographs of little puppies?
Agreed. I think it's a bad idea (for the stated purpose, not as a nice little project which is always good to see of course). There's already sort of a problem in spanish texts (articles, some books) where the author chooses to make up (often cringy) translations for terms that don't really have an accepted counterpart in spanish. So they just translate the thing literally, and without consistency. Each author decides what to translate and how. This is probably an issue too in other languages.

Example: "arreglo". Why would you call an array that way?

Learning a programming language is already hard enough (especially the first one) to add another axis to the process, and you'll get much less out of the experience if you are limited to a "vainilla" universe.
The reason I built this was because I think that there might be quality content on TikTok but I simply do not want to use it. This is because I'm afraid of their addicting recommendation algorithm. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.

This project is quickly put together so it's pretty barebones but hopefully enough for its purpose.

It's OK, it's hard to keep track of which mass shooting is which at this point. Maybe we should name them like hurricanes.
Plenty of ad-serving companies have found their way around DNS adblocking, including the top players in that market.

Encrypted DNS looks like any other encrypted stream, there's no reason for subversive apps to rely on DHCP provided DNS servers when they can be guaranteed to serve ads without them.
Is there a public page/link which mentions that they're not removing V2 support? Please share. Thanks.

All I can find is:

We have not yet set a deprecation date for Manifest v2 but expect it to be supported for at least one year after Manifest v3 becomes stable in the release channel.

https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2021/05/27/manifest-v3-updat...

So they will eventually remove it sooner than later.
maybe, if you don't succumb to some industrial disease prior to the walk.
Wettest May in 40+ years in Western Washington.
GitHub Releases can host files up to 2 GB, for free.
How big is it and how do you know?
Your suggestions sound nice if you're a foodie. But as someone with zero interest in cooking it's just horrible having to think about it in the evening.
Glad it helped! I’ve been fighting with it for longer than I’d care to admit.
Thanks for the tips and feedback. I’ll stick with Software RAID. I wasn’t sure that the system would have enough resources to support ZFS but I think I’ll try it out before I commit large amounts of data to it.
Instead of financial instruments they are actual contracts for purchasing a commodity in the future from a local purveyor.
The reality is it's at most a minor inconvenience since these days youtube's recommendations can be controlled by telling youtube you don't want something recommended. You can depeterson yourself fairly easily if afflicted.
Crypto is about making sure the supply of something stays limited. Seems pretty contradictory to the spirit of free creative expression the Web Revival is going for.
Well, Discord also has its own styles of memes and things. And 4chan is actually also made of multiple communities, like other people said.

Reddit is probably a closer comparison, or maybe Facebook, with the difference that Discord requires an app and login and is not really "web". It's complicated.

Sure, nobody is running their workplace chat on those, but it doesn't negate that Discord is sort of a Reddit-like aggregate of communities for many people.
You're right about sino, most likely they collapsed it for parsing purposes.
That’s a very interesting example you choose. I wonder if you’d have a choice of mobile phones today had the US government not exercised its anti-monopoly authority with the Kingsbury Commitment and later the break-up of the Bell System.

Prior to 1983, nearly everyone in the US and Canada had to lease their physical telephones (wired and wireless) from Ma Bell, and if you didn’t like the phone Ma Bell gave you, tough luck. Your other choice was to simply not have access to the PSTN.
For college football and basketball I just use some JSON endpoints that the ncaa.com frontend hits, and they're actually very good. Literally all I had to do to support Women's basketball in addition to Men's was change "men" to "women" in the url. I haven't checked the data for baseball, but I'm sure it's more than adequate. That being said, I personally don't have any interest in college baseball, and I don't think it has a huge following, so I'm not going to invest any time into it, especially when there are higher profile leagues that I still haven't added yet (specifically, all of European football).
It’s understandable why they do this. Given the complexity of a home automation set up with countless error modes across devices, sensors and connectivity alone, reducing any potential problems on the software side at least is logical.
> Without doing this, you can’t install add ons from the store.

Usually you can do it yourself, because yes they are just docker containers. I don't use them myself as I don't find much use for most of them. The more important addon tool is HACS and that works in the stand alone docker container.

> But from there, it seemed extremely GUI oriented… I had to install an add on just to see my config files

Yes it's very GUI focused now, you can usually get to the basic yaml config in any screen though if you click through to manually configue that component. This was generally done because the yaml config method was a pain even for the tech literate... because yaml.

If you want proper code in HomeAssistant have a look at AppDaemon https://appdaemon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/HASS_TUTORIAL.htm... Makes it easy to use Python in HomeAssistant.

Alternatively there is Node-red https://nodered.org/ (js visual node programing automation) and huginn https://github.com/huginn/huginn (Python automation)

They will never offer as much integration as HA so I tend to find using HA as a dashboard/device integrator and then Node-red/AppDaemon for the actual automations to be more optimal.
It's influential with a certain demographic. You'll likely find few if any young white men radicalized into white supremacy who didn't start out as edgelords on /pol/
Too confusing to parse vs IP address specifications. Can of worms no one sees a need to open.
In 2008 monetary and fiscal policy was not constrained by high inflation. Not it is. Anything that depends on inflows of cheap new capital will suffer. That concerns unprofitable companies as well as assets that generate no cash flows like anything crypto.
No, sexually explicit artwork depicting sex with puppies, kittens, etc.
If you were to do the same thing with children it would be extremely illegal in any civilized country.

Also this kind of imagery leads directly to animal sexual abuse, which is a huge but little-talked-about problem.

It's despicable and has no place in our society.
Ah, okay. Thanks, I missed that.
It was kinda hip the first several years, back in the 90s. I remember that epic Neal Stephenson piece about transatlantic cables: https://www.wired.com/1996/12/ffglass/
So if I'm reading this correctly, and please correct me if I'm not, you support... universal homogeneity in web presence?
Oh hey! We talked over Twitter once about the site a few weeks ago, had no clue you were on HN :)
Already happening, Google products like the Chromecast serve up plenty of obnoxious ads these days, and hardcode Google DNS. Even blocking Google DNS still allows ads to get through.

This is a big reason why I will never buy another Chromecast branded product, or Google product, again. Congratulations on successfully monetizing my time and annoying me into swearing off Google products altogether.
Wait this article is from May 12th. It’s not “the hottest May on record”, because May isn’t even over?

What the article says is the average high/low of the first 11 days is hotter than the hottest month.

Uhhh… statistics don’t work like that?

You cant compare a part month to a full month and make that claim because your selectively comparing some days to an average of a whole month.
I run 2 raspberry pi zeros connected (and powered) to my router as usb network devices both running pihole. I've been running this for years and have had zero issues.
Seems like there is a grafana add on too?

https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-grafana

Yeah, if you want to have it 'just work', a dedicated Pi seems fine, though I'm considering moving it onto my NAS if I get a usb Zigbee stick (I have one sitting on the pi's gpio pins).

I know I ran the motioneye service on the nas (docker container) as the Pi was struggling a bit, and to have more room to write the files. If you are already familiar with docker, you can totally run the add ons yourself.

You can also write your own automations in python with HA
https://appdaemon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

And if you wanted, I think you can configure appdaemon to run without Home Assistant if you have something else running the MQTT service, so you could add the Zigbee2 add on (just a docker image https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/) and interact with it directly.

Zigbee2Mqtt does a great job supporting lots of devices (IKEA stuff for example), so I think you might just want to get a zigbee stick and go nuts on the MQTT instance yourself. Shouldn't be too hard to log the MQTT events into your custom dashboards.

You might not even want AppDaemon if you want to just code up an event loop yourself...?

But I'm pretty happy with the gui/yaml home assistant experience, as I mostly want fairly simple and predictable automations, and the dashboard is good for the whole family to use as well.
The real advantage is another layer of complexity, so you can write a blog post about running PiHole on a home network, which done by a billion other people (conservative estimate).
don't remove it unless you know why it was put up in the first place
It's a joke to 4chan et al but not the people who fell down that rabbit hole. I don't know how many people actually believe in it, but based on watching protests and other political activity over the last few years, it's substantial.

My experience over the past six months of using Home Assistant is mixed.

With every monthly update, something breaks, stuff gets deprecated, then removed. I report those issues, but they get quickly closed without being resolved.
It never occurred to me but inflation is not necessarily a political problem, and perhaps even might be considered a good thing. Who doesn’t love the stock market going up?

However inflation in consumer staples, energy, and gasoline is an enormous political problem. So what to do?

The “solution”: expansive monetary policy is completely okay so long as most people don’t get any of it.

Inequality is a substantially smaller political problem than the price of gasoline being too high.
Play with the devil, complain when you are hurt. It is no longer news that social media platforms flagging and censorship are broken.
Excel formulas are a perfect example of how horrible localized versions can be for coding.

I hate them, all the good guides and docs are in english but if the application is in spanish then all the function names are different. I have everything in english in my computer because of this and to avoid context switching, but when my gf asks for help I have to google every corresponding function name. Terrible design choice IMO.
Some native Spanish speakers make abhorrent mistakes when using their language. That doesn’t make it okay.
Desalination plants and solar at scale are not cheap. Spend billions and get some drinking water for a city. Supplying industry and agriculture though, it is cheaper to move production somewhere else and truck the produce in.
Cool, I think we mostly agree. Thanks for the explanation!
I was under the impression that bikes are stolen all the time in Netherlands. There was even a joke that if you bike gets stolen, just steal another one.

Chromecast products, in particular, will not work with self-signed certificates, and you can't adjust their trust stores.
While not addressing explicitly, modern languages do already perform cache-size aware optimizations. Namely, .NET runtime will base its heap sizes and allocation behavior based on CPU's cache size so that data is allocated closer together and further reads, and subsequent garbage collection are friendly to CPU's memory prefetching behavior.
On the other hand, register allocation is a much more complex problem to solve because there is no single heuristic that fits all CPUs (and even operating systems!) sharing the same micro-architecture. As a result, "good enough" sometimes is chosen unless the language relies on LLVM/GCC logic.

While I never investigated it personally, my understanding is that the quantization on the MPC60/3000 series was a big part of the feel. By definition, a quantized sequence is not a sample-accurate reproduction of a live MIDI perfomance.

Also, such idiosyncratic quantization is faithfully simulated in software nowadays, anyway.

Contrarily:

I challenge the notion that it is impossible to model the A/D, any DSP, and the D/A of the MPC3000 in software. While modeling non-linear response dependent on factors such as gains and impedances is not trivial, it is certainly feasible. Much of the pro audio world has moved on to plugins for their ability to reproduce the desirable aspects of analogue hardware while removing the undesirable aspects (such as noise).

A hardware sequencer/drum machine offers things that can't be modeled: tactile feel, low(er than some computers, still to this day) midi latency. Even the limitations such as a slow UI synchronously coupled to slow offline processes (which could be conceivably be modeled) affect the creative process in non-intuitive ways.

Similarly: reel to reel creates a smell that affects the vibe. Limited tape and no undo button affect the creative process as well.

DAW's are great but are essentially unlimited. This opens up horizons, but it does remove musicianship as a requirement in a recording context.
I guess the snarkers will always regale us with their snide dismissal, but as someone who has lived in one place for going on a half-century, I witness the change: winters had feet of snow and now have inches. Temperatures drops are harder, temperature highs have gone from 40C to nearly 50, which is insane. Rainfall patterns have changed markedly, and they’re interfacing with snowmelt and now flood events happen like never before. Because of that, forest fires, too, have gone nuts, because the summers now dry out to an extreme.

In this area we have indigenous families that have histories that go back for many hundreds and even thousands of years. I live in an area that had been idyllic for as long as any family can remember, a claim backed by geo/biological evidence. There is no record of the area climate behaving like this. The change has been abrupt and extreme and, frankly, dangerous.
This presentation is a great example of why slides are a horrible format. It's either too much or too little information per slide, context is lost if you're not in the room, and it allows escape hatches for handwaving at the charts without the ability to dive deeper or question the data.

Suggestion: the replacement for the new keyword should be crear, not nueva. This makes more sense as a verb (even when translated back to English!) and side-steps the gender issues.
I remember being completely mystified the first time I heard "arreglo" at my first job.

I have a theory that the frequency of the use of those translations (arreglo, aplicativo) in a workplace is directly proportional to the amount of bureaucracy in it.
my functional strength, particularly as applied to my chosen sport (cycling), skyrocketed after I included a weekly yoga class. vinyasha/ashtanga, emphasizing isometric & isotonic stuff. I was already on a regular training programme in a Friel+Coggan style, this added a new dimension. I attribute a couple of race wins to the increased power-endurance under stress (i.e. in the drops chewing bartape), a lower & narrower ITT position, and even improved bike handling.
There may be a reason to remove it, but there may be a stronger reason to keep it. Don’t remove it until you understand why it was put there.
I switched to node-red, node-red dashboard and Mosquitto mqtt. Those run just fine runs in an lxd container.

Almost all my devices are flashed with tasmota or have mqtt in them.

Maybe there is a lot less hardware support, and certainly much worse google home support but the 30 devices I have around the house work fine. All family friendly. The light switches just work. The doorbell works and no one knows it goes via an RF bridge to a home made/written mqtt to mp3 player.
I use mine daily for a few things, and I'm not a content creator. The Zoom buttons are great because it's one tap access to mute/unmute or video on/off regardless of what window I have on top at the time. I set my other buttons to common websites that I use, so I don't have to go hunting for the Okta tile or bookmark.

Could I do these things with other tech? Sure, but this was pretty affordable, is really attractive and customizable, and has software that works really well out of the box. Hard to beat for someone lazy like me. :D
