I switched from Jekyll to Zola because of my difficulty running Jekyll locally too. I chose Zola because it's a single binary and its template language (Tera) is similar to Jekyll's so my blog was fairly easy to port.

I'm still seeing the same number of attempts on my public SFTP servers. As a funny side note I found that by going through the hardening steps on ssh-audit [1], most of the bots can't even negotiate a connection. I only see them because I configured verbose logging. They seem to be using really old ssh libraries in the bot code that severely limit the ciphers available to them. Another interesting side effect is that my ssh negotiation is much faster on high latency connections after the hardening.

[Edit]: I forgot to add that if testing the ssh hardening from that site, be sure to do this locally where one has console access and the same version of sshd or if on remote nodes make sure that remote consoles are working first to avoid being locked out of the remote nodes. Modifying the client ciphers first and testing remote connections prior to modifying the servers is the lowest risk.

How do the multiple systems communicate with each other and with the mainframe?
I do find myself wishing for a candid assessment from NASA engineers & techs about this problem, and the set of problems plaguing the STS. Is there a forum where they can and do speak plainly (and perhaps anonymously)? If not, maybe someone should make one and call it "feynmanesque.space"

I forget the exact quote I read on HN once, but it made me laugh, all concurrent systems will eventually recreate Erlang. If you think of Microservices and even Kubernetes Clusters and company, they're all barely doing a fraction of what Erlang can do, because Erlang had the right concept, it was just 40 years ahead of its time.

Are you arguing that I should be sympathetic? The Evian conference demonstrated the depths of jew hatred, anti-semitism of the entire world.

While some partisans did attempt to frustrate Nazi plans ... many Europeans whole heartedly engaged and supported the Nazis in their genocidal ambitions. Vichy France. Collaborationists in Poland, Ukraine, etc.

Far more could have been done. At Evian, the bare minimum was to let some jews in to find peace. There have been movies made of this absolute minimum gesture which could have been, but was not, made.[1]

So, yeah. Not so much sympathy now.

Watching the UN and its organs in action, I remain, deeply, unsympathetic.

> But he utterly failed.

Maybe. If so, we're talking about a single investor out of at least hundreds that have similar, if not so insane, models. They work out fine, many of those posting here work for a company funded by such back in those days.

In the late 90's/early 00's it was interesting to see which sites took off and which did not. I owned a hosting company and was fairly active in the community. It was an open secret that the giant sites of today were simply losing money on a monthly basis due to infrastructure costs with rich investors picking up the tab.

Other competing bootstrapped companies with regular Joe founders simply could not keep up when their competitors could simply burn $100k/mo in bandwidth and server bills while instead they needed to be responsible with sustainable growth. I had more than a handful of founders/company owners who had previously perfectly sustainable models built up over half a decade only to be crushed by loss-making VC money.

I often wonder how much different the Internet would look like if a startup remained a startup, and not some high finance big business industry that took over the title.

This reads like a hint at AdBlock Plus, not uBlock. Or did I miss some controversy there?
I doubt Starlink is commercially viable in the long run if they don't get Starship operational. The Starlink constellation requires continuous maintenance, replacement of old satellites that have expended their fuel and fall out of LEO a few months later. To do this with Falcon 9 instead of Starship, they need something on the order of 10x more launches, and each time they throw away the second stage.

Furthermore the Starlink constellation 'only' has 3,000 satellites so far, but SpaceX has sought approval for 30,000 more than the 12,000 already approved. To launch and maintain a constellation that huge with Falcon 9? It might be commercially viable, but I doubt it, they already have a very rapid launch cadence with Falcon 9 starlink launches and they evidently think they need much more.
Advertising is a type of propaganda. One of a myriad of different forms of propaganda.

One leads to the other easily. For example taking advertising money for television commercials or magazine adds leads to "Native Ads". Native ads are sort of like product placement except that it's pretending to be a news story or whatever.

Like when people on CNBC or CNN start talking about Taco Bell menu items or new type of drug that might fight cholesterol. That's paid-for propaganda that is pretending to be television news.

Pretty soon you have a entire industry based on not telling the truth about drugs or food or other products they buy because that will piss off their advertisers.

This is the basis of the modern web. It's not a good thing even though it makes a lot of people a lot of money.

But yes that's the point, we do this on a case-by-case basis, after communicating, not generally because someone could show up and be allergic to nuts. Making a lemonade kosher is a no-brainer, so there's no problem with doing it. But if I had to go out of my way to find food with peanuts because we want to be safe by default, I'd have a problem with that.
This is some massive hyperbole and really makes me consider if online advertising should be abolished or massively kneecapped.

Maybe we should ask users for money because the alternative has become some kafkaesque hellscape where people think it's totally normal to have a dozen ad trackers when attempting to buy shoes. These trackers have an enormous costs and maybe their externalities should be taxed and regulated.

Maybe by the end of the century we will slowly realize that online advertising is the "lead" paint that was rightfully eradicated.

It's not "unpredictable" as in "stochastic", but rather as in "hard to reason about".

This may be compiler-specific. Say, Haskell does not give you much heads-up on laziness: whether stream fusion actually kicks in where you expect it to, or are you encountering quadratic behavior due to laziness [1].

If Ferret dives you decent visibility into issues like these, laziness may be usable even in hard-realtime setting, because it would become obvious and predictable for the developer.

I moved from Jekyll to Zola and it's been great until I started tinkering with templates and stuff recently. Single binary and simple themes were main reasons to choose this. Wanted a feature that wasn't present in the version I started with (about 2 years ago). So, I got the newest version and a few things broke subtly (ex: syntax highlighting). Which led me to tinkering (I don't know much about HTML/CSS/etc).

It was actually good to try a few things almost blindly and then slowly narrowing with a bit more thought process. Been a long time since I had such fun investigating unknown codebase. This even helped me move my post processing scripts to templates. And then I went a step further by reading about meta tags (things like image, description, etc) and adding them via an extra variable in the post frontmatter.
Based only on your comment, I'm guessing you're unaware of Palantir's work with intelligence agencies even when Tan was there. Also, Thiel's mission from the start was this kind of work.

I served in the Marine Corps. I've had some exposure to Palantir's 'offerings'. It's a fucking nightmare of a company, morally and ethically, and it always has been.

For your own safety and convenience.
I was with you until the 5G one. The only bubble I’m aware of related to 5G is the telecom people who keep hyping it.

I have never ran into anyone anywhere, cyberspace nor meatspace, who has claimed that 5G was actually useful for something.
Not related, but I came up with a workaround to add scrolling for Kindle on Desktop. Kindle doesn't support scrolling on their desktop app -- they only allow page-by-page reading for some wacky reason. Workaround is to install "Windows Subsystem for Android", then read it on the kindle app inside the subsystem.
Namecheap's primary business is as a domain registrar. Sensible customers don't let their domain registrar act as their authoritative DNS, you'd need to change something else; but maybe mild defacement of the contact name or address in whois would qualify, without being harmful.
Yup, but in a roundabout way.

For example, they'll inspect traffic and nab a session cookie. Then they'll use that session cookie on another internal API request to change a setting, and claim they were able to modify a setting by reverse engineering things.

They seem really scary at first, and then you dig into it and you're like "oh...".

I plan on writing a static site generator soon myself. And I briefly wondered the same thing and realized that I could very easily answer that question: ruthlessly build whatever I personally need and not what others need. I don't usually follow that line of thinking, but the static site generator space is so full of so many great tools that I don't think there's really anything for me to contribute to it.

Instead, I think the killer feature of my static site generator is going to be exactly what makes it difficult for others to use: its tight coupling with my specific use case. I'll be able to hard-code configuration knobs. Avoid dealing with edge cases. Bake strange non-generic and single-blog-post-specific logic right into the tool.

(The reason why I want to build my own is because I've tried using someone else's. And I just keep getting bitten: someone else's tool gets so big and moves so rapidly, that by the time I get around to updating my site, something about the new version of the tool has broken the way my web site works. And then I usually have to spend hours figuring out how to fix it, which is hugely deflating because I had just worked up the energy to write a new post. My naive belief is that if I have my own tool that evolves at precisely the pace I want it to, I won't run into that specific problem. I'll run into other problems of course, but I'm thinking that I'll prefer those problems to the ones I currently face.)
I don’t think it’s necessarily his, or Palantirs’ fault that the US government is evil.

There’s a lot of wisdom in that observation.

Knowing a lot of languages well is a super-power in some ways, but heavily polyglot environments create real pragmatic challenges. There’s a reason so many marquee shops carefully curate a (short) menu of production languages.

It’s been my experience that if (and it’s a big if) you have either the need or inclination to operate a big orgy of polyglot language interop, the hellacious learning curves on NixOS and Bazel are “The Way”. It’s a big investment and only worth it if you’re pretty committed/obligated, but there is a path for those whose needs justify the cost.

Nah, even the lightest macbooks can be opened with one hand. Has a useful notch in the bottom case too so grip isn't a problem.

It's not a big deal at all, I certainly wouldn't list it as a reason to not get a laptop like your parent comment does; it probably wouldn't even factor in to my decision. But it's certainly not a problem in all thin-and-lights.
Just a guess, but I think a lot of people immediately see the letters "GPL" anywhere and back out, rightly or wrongly. The nuances of licenses are poorly understood by many developers (and even legal departments) and there's a "I can't be bothered" attitude a lot of the time, even where AGPL makes a lot of sense and isn't particularly restrictive on the average end user. There certainly needs to be a lot more education in this area.
In fact, they used to allow people to create apps for the Kindle, but they took away that ability later.

No. Anecdotally, a lot of the people I know with long COVID were robustly healthy pre-COVID. One dude swam a mile every day, no drugs, no drink, no smoking, normal blood pressure. Now has continuous brain fog and can’t walk up stairs without wheezing.

Your comment helped me want to click through and read the post. I'm very tired of all the recent Rust fanboy posts, but level-headed and earnest comparisons against real implementations make for much better understanding of a new concept or language.

Here are some select quotes from the article:

> Please note that this is not to say that Rust this [sic] much faster than Haskell, instead see it as a comparison of two implementations. I’m sure someone could make it super fast in Haskell.

> I don’t think it means that Rust is simpler or easier than Haskell, it just means that I personally had an easier time to grok Rust than Haskell.

That's like saying that words are trivial to write, so books have no value. While it's trivial to write an "if", it's not trivial to know how to write a lot of "ifs" to make an IA that people find useful. And that knowledge is where the value of software resides.

Publishers get 96% as much revenue per impression for non-targeted display ads:

The ad networks get a lot more for tracking based ads, and the advertisers supposedly get more conversions (though targeting fraud is a real, well-documented thing).
You do realize that many of the greatest scientific minds and advancements are from people that have a Christian religious background. Some that immediately come to mind are Galileo Galilei, Blaise Pascal, Leonhard Euler, Michael Faraday, Charles Barkla, George Washington Carver, Charles Babbage, and Samuel Morse. And many in that list believed they were better scientists because they followed Christ.
A few weeks ago I saw a vulnerability reported for an FTP server that claimed they could put a file on the remote server. With FTP! What madness! I wish I could find it but I cannot, still makes me chuckle.
I think this article points to a missing product in the market - integrated cloud services but with the cloud located on a private server in the home. Specifically for a company like Apple (who hand waives at being pro-privacy) to enable all iCloud functionality to be hosted on a personal mac. From a high level (and likely ignoring important but probably not insurmountable technical details), the idea would be for everything to look exactly the same to the iPhone user, but for all data and processing to happen on a machine the user controls. No Apple accessible or hosted user data, end-to-end encrypted in transit, etc.

One might argue there are products that can fill this niche and certainly many on Hacker News are capable of setting up their own home servers. However, that is not nearly as convenient or realistic for the average person to do. Those setups also don't integrate directly into default services like iMessage, Photos (including both storage and things like photo tagging), etc. Modern desktops and many people's internet connections should be powerful/fast enough to handle this.

To the extent user data is used to feed big-data algos/machine learning/etc, this might not be practical. That's why I suggest Apple do it rather than Google (Apple already claiming much of their ML services are handled on-device).

One might argue that's essentially something iTunes handled (still could?) but again it's not nearly as integrated as modern iCloud services. And that only works over a local network or direct wired connection.

The basic idea is just to move data hosting and processing from third-party servers where users have no direct control over how their data is used or accessed to hardware sitting in their home.
That's what the first site is. Wtf is the second one??

Where in the Caribbean? In general it's not a super attractive place for year-round living.

I'd personally go for St Barth, it's the best place in the Caribbean. If you're an EU citizen, you can just go live there without any limitations. If you're an US citizen, you're theoretically limited to 90 days but this isn't actually enforced. In any case, visas are the easy part.

If this is a serious question and you are wealthy, https://reddit.com/r/fatFIRE might be the best place to ask.
Google gets all the flak but frankly Samsung has been the point of the spear for years on adtech shit - they were one of the companies caught mining application logs from other applications to bypass permissions that you denied them, causing Google to have to go back and implement iOS-style application sandboxing.

Similarly, their TVs are known as probably the single most obnoxious devices on the market right now, and are always in the news for finding some new and obnoxious way to push more ads or more intrusive ways to spy on you in general.

Everyone always asks this about Apple but really it's never seemed more relevant than with Samsung: why are you purchasing hardware from a company that very very obviously does not respect you as a customer? Aren't there any other android vendors you could patronize instead?

(to be fair, if you aren't interested in budget hardware, and you won't buy a chinese phone, I suppose that list isn't all that long. you have... google and sony, I guess?)

In the absence of SpaceX,"worth" was basically defined as "how important tax payers find this vs what it costs." Now we actually have a market framework capable of answering this question. Assuming Starship works, then the answer is obviously "no."

Show HN: I made an app to create Spotify playlists from music festival posters
Hey HN, I'm Brett and I'm an iOS developer.

LineupSupply uses Apple's Vision framework to read text from an image and then the Spotify API to create a playlist using that text. So if you provide a music festival poster, it will grab the artist names from the lineup and make a playlist for that music festival.

Often when going to a music festival I want a playlist to listen to the artists that will be performing. I couldn't find any other service that automates this, so I made one myself.

The app is free to create as many playlists as you want, but does have a one time in-app purchase of $1.99 to unlock additional features (control over how many songs per artist, custom app icons, etc). You do need to login with your Spotify account, but Spotify Premium isn't required.

I made this app with SwiftUI and its available on iOS and iPadOS. You can technically download it on macOS too, but it's a port of the iPad app.
