Western media is not controlled by the goverment, so they are free to report on anything they want. I saw them interview pro-russian people in those regions right in the battle areas.

On YouTube I follow Denys Davydov, a Ukrainian pilot that reports about the war. A few days ago he showed a video of a Ukrainian helicopter flying close over traffic, and he was critiquing how irresponsibly and dangerous that was. He claims to know that road and that is was far from the battlefield. So even him as a Ukrainian is able to try and be as objective as possible.

News can be objective. The claim that western media is full of propaganda is just kremlin propaganda.

You can also do this with a Particle board or some other similar embedded device running code on bare metal instead of an Android phone. The advantage being that you won't fall victim to a Java crash or software update, and you can probably set up a watchdog reboot on it.
Why not just use AP and Reuter ?
When you say "News" (just "News") I don't see what FB and Twitter has got to do with it. For "News" I think newspapers. So, over breakfast I check my country's equivalent of BBC first, sometimes the shortlist, to see what the lunatic has been up to since last night. What happens over there is not that far away from any place in Europe. Then I read two local newspapers, online versions, and then the actual BBC. If I still have time I read two Japanese newspapers, English edition. I sometimes read those later in the day too because in addition to news they have some interesting short stories now and then.

That's "News" to me. I read HN on and off during the day, when I'm waiting for a test to complete or there's some other reason for a break, and there's also some technical stuff I follow.

So no, I have not stopped reading news. Can't do that, I'd rather know what happens before I get it in the face. But I mostly get my news at breakfast, then I (mostly) concentrate on other stuff the rest of the day, and I may check news again after dinner.

I never touch FB or Twitter. I did have an account on FB once, just because someone said "You should make an account so that others don't make one in your name" so, well, I did.. and FB blocked me after a while, presumably because I never posted anything. Anyway, FB? That's not what comes to mind if someone says "News".
I hope none

I'd rather have people divide into smaller sites, forums, news aggregators

I think its a bit of systemd's issue since it's attempting to cover a large range of functionality. The way it provides that functionality is important.

Re: the binary logs - true, but the core point that its not text by default is still a (small) issue IMO. Not ideal default behaviour.
everyone has the same additional power allocation and everyone has to go through attack mode twice in a race -- it's a strategic call of when you want to use the additional power, and when you can stand to lose a second or two going far off the optimal line to activate it. this is essentially similar to the overtake system in indycar or super formula. it's certainly not much worse than DRS.

now, the "fanboost" which gave certain drivers (almost always the same handful for years one end) an additional "push to pass" option based on social media voting -- that shit sucked. it's also gone next season.
I have my syncthing configured to not do that.
If one follows PRC econ news from subject matter experts (both PRC and western) who full time focus on PRC, they're common discussion points.

Li Keqiang index, Context from wiki:

>According to a State Department memo (released by WikiLeaks), Li Keqiang (then the Chinese Communist Party Committee Secretary of Liaoning) told a US ambassador in 2007 that the GDP figures in Liaoning were unreliable and that he himself used three other indicators: the railway cargo volume, electricity consumption and loans disbursed by banks.

Total Social Finance - do a quick google for summary, another composite indicator because up until 2010s PRC just had shit tier data reporting without even factoring in central gov lack of trust of local gov reporting. LKI became mainstream when he became premier in 2013, both LKI and TSF gets reported in domestic and foreign analysis on PRC econ since.

GDP smoothing: https://www.economist.com/free-exchange/2015/07/15/whether-t...

>There is a difference between smoothing data and totally fabricating it. Evidence suggests that China is guilty of the former (the lesser charge) but not the latter (the more serious allegation).

There's better academic writings in past decade that goes into why PRC smooths GDP, but TLDR circles back to GDP is more politically useful as setting a "target" for growth (for both local officials and to inform foreign media/investors) than actual "measure" for growth, which is better gauged with other indicators, that can still be gamed but less so than cells on a spread sheet.

>NBER study from 2017: https://www.nber.org/papers/w23323
Also discusses LKI and other background in PRC gdp reporting. As well as a country specific analysis vs Martinez let's crudely apply blunt metrics to every country generalist approach. Note this was published same year as Martinez study.

CSIS analysis: https://www.csis.org/analysis/broken-abacus
The reports seems to be removed/for pay now, but there's podcasts from author that summarizes the study and degree of potential underreporting.

As for incentive to under report, that's more conspiracy theory but IMO well justified. PRC benefits structurally from being treated as developing economy much than transient PR of reaching high income per capita. If one believes PRC is under reporting GDP, or overreporting population, especially by some of the higher end numbers, then PRC per capita GDP may have reached higher income, which has been a contentious issue by other (developed) countries at the WTO who wants to strip PRC from benefits reserved for developing countries.

I've been running PiHole on Pi Zero with ethernet hat i.e. whole network stack is going through the GPIO pins and it works fine. So there should be no issues running this on basically anything.
I despise systemd.

Having shell scripts that you can read and edit makes so much more sense.

Putting a script in a directory to have it run at startup makes sense. Systemd's approach of "registering a service" is hell.

Having logs in plain text is beautiful. Having to use special software to read logs is hell.
I tossed mine (in a case) into a tiny, unventilated drawer where it’s happily running Pi Hole and Home Assistant (~15 ZigBee switches, lights and sensors). I don’t think a Pi 4 would thermally enjoy that, plus it’s impossible to get one, so no retirement for my Pi.

edit: it’s a 2 B, the first one wouldn’t be able to run Home Assistant, I think

Consider the ransomware case - while all the files are being encrypted on your work machine, those encrypted versions are also syncing across live and overwriting your "backups". Or if it synchronizes deletes, accidentally deleting the file on your work machine also deletes the file from your "backup" once sync has completed.

File versioning / version history would help, if you have sufficient disk space for all the versions. But you can be more confident in the backup integrity if it is taken offline once completed - eg cloning a drive to an external drive, and then unplugging that external drive and putting it in storage until needed.
There is so much potential in WhatsApp.

With a few baby steps they could move into the Discord/Slack space, Telegram channels, Twitter type interactions etc. And that’s before you get into a WeChat everything-app.

I’m not saying to add it all and change what makes WhatsApp good, but it could encompass a lot more social stuff (with small groups being the niche) and it’s absolutely ubiquitous.

It could also be a cash cow for Meta.

I'm soon leaving a company after having seen it grown from a mere startup to what it is today. It had a goal at the beginning, had to fight an entire industry to get an idea across which is accepted broadly nowadays. But there is also a strong inertia towards making these non-goal "goals" more and more important, which in turn define more and more how this company operates inside and what comes out of it in the end. It requires strong and really good leadership to see this problem in the first place and then prevent such a construct from sliding down that slippery slope.

The problem with stuff like socialism, communism, but also capitalism is simple: Humans. You create rules, you have conceptions of how something could work. You add humans, and things go sideways. Even if you aware of the issue, there is potentially no way to create something stable, it requires humans to stop other humans from being dicks, as sad as it sounds. It only needs a few dicks to break pretty much everything into pieces. Worse, more often than not, there was not even real ill-intent in the first place, like with the company I've written about above.

The only way we can change things on a larger scale is to change the incentives, to change the overarching goals. Check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th3KE_H27bs (TED talk Nick Hanauer)
Every time this DIY reply comes it misses the fact that the platforms take care of commenting (account management, moderation), something that's more or less impossible for a DIY solution.

Twitter/FB/etc make commenting painless because everyone has an account and is already logged in. This at least has the potential to get to that position. DIY doesn't.

My pet peeve here is that they should be forced to change the "buy" button to a "rent" button or something.

All of this digital assetry we're "buying" isn't actually ours, and that's one of the greatest annoyances of the "digital future" for me.

I find it difficult to get my head around mastodon and federated messaging in general.

It seems like a lot of effort to go to when all I want is a social messaging app. I want to make an account once and be able to message anyone else on whatever app I'm using, not have to worry about whether my chosen node happens to be connected to theirs, not to mention that something like this [0] can happen and then apparently you need to personally handle migrating your data to another instance. These are technical details, not things that users should need to think about.

I don't see any federated messaging platform becoming popular until it reaches the point where users don't even have to understand what "federated messaging" means.

There's no need to "inherit" a steam account. If you have the credentials to log in, you can update the payment methods with new ones and just continue to use the account. Everything, including save files that are stored on their servers for supported games, will continue to simply work as long as steam exists. People actually can and do swap accounts and sell credentials all the time. There are third party sites that are made selling steam accounts for money

So far, I've been too young to actually set anything up but with all these things stored in my 1Password and other storage accounts, I need some way to legally hand down credentials to my next of kin
I think ultimately the biggest question people need to ask is: Is it more important for Mozilla to fall in line behind Chromium and track compatibility with their ecosystem or is it better for them to support their own extension ecosystem and not make busy work for extension developers?

Can they maintain MV2 while supporting MV3 their own way for easier porting of Chromium extensions? Or is MV2 support getting dropped and all MV2 extensions have a EOL coming up next year?
I do use facebook and twitter, but generally ignore political posts, reshared posts, ads and news.. what's left you ask? good question, not much.. It's sad that, for me at least, it's still the only place where I can keep a casual link to the people I know, where I don't have to be very active to seek out those connections, or work to maintain them, but I still find comfort in knowing that IF I wanted/needed to, I could reach out to an old classmate or acquaintance. It fits my type of personality well, not having to be actively maintain a casual connection to a hundred people, yet still be able to have a slight sense of what's going on...

For news, I don't seek them out much, HN is my daily source of new interesting stuff.. (I find it similar in some way to fazed org back when.. though more technically focused).

I have subscribe to a few RSS feeds, worldnews and a few others on reddit that I peruse once in a while, but not even weekly.. Along with hackaday feeds.

I do visit gossip sites daily, to glance over the headlines, but I rarely click on them, it's more of a meta-thing, getting some idea of what society is interested in, rather than trying to find out what's actually happening (which I don't think you can from those sources anyway)
In war you're either for us or against us. No gray zones, no "love thy enemy", no nuance or fair analysis even. It is a social psychological mechanism, because if you try to distribute blame on both sides you are potentially aiding the enemy, resulting in potentially greater losses on your own side (i.e. your neighbor might die).

It has little to do with the quality of the news, more with the psychosocial mechanisms of any polarized conflict that involves life and death. One may lament it, but only from the outside and at some distance.

As a side note one might wonder if this is not a main purpose of war: to create a polarized environment where dissent becomes impossible.
Generally there's a building that's useful and the local government have designated that people are allowed to live there.

I tried syncthing on a pi for a few days in 2014 or so. It would take something like 2 hours before the GUI would even be accessible for me. I bought an Intel bay trail micro-ATX system without any moving parts, and it's still chugging along without any problems.

Not a knock on the author. All power to him for doing this. I worked on similar small side projects years ago. But I'm not convinced. And not of nicheless, just of anything attempting to fill the void where Twitter once was. I think some of these services might find their community and build something with network effects but I couldn't tell you which will make it as much as I couldn't say 3 years into Twitter if it would still exist a decade from then.

But something just isn't sitting right with me in this entire space. As I sit and watch the mindless babble of the Twitter billionaire owner and his groupies, it's causing me to fade slowly into the background of life. Spaces for idle chatter turns out to be a total waste of time. Whether it's about movies, gaming or politics, there's really more we could be doing with our time. Twitter is a void and trying to fill that void with another one isn't the answer. I don't really know what the solution is beyond knowing some sort of community platform is definitely missing. But it's likely to focus on some active component, not idle chat.
We did this for a while in our house, but with Bittorrent/Resilio Sync on later Pi models, and it was a pretty miserable experience. I/O is terrible on most models (which is somewhat important for storage). IIRC there is no acceleration of crypto primitives, so AES encryption used by Resilio Sync and Syncthing is slow. Finally, we found that even with a proper power supply, the Pi does not really provide the stability you'd want from a storage node.

We ended up replacing the Pi(s) by an Intel NUC, which was just over 100 Euro in 2018 without memory and storage. For relatively low cost, you get SATA speeds (or NVMe if you are willing to spend a bit more) and an AES-NI capable CPU. Our current NUC has been humming along for 4 years.

Ps. Syncthing is not backup, even with a read-only node. You are just one Syncthing bug or sysadmin failure away from erasing your data. Having the files on btrts on a single SSD only makes it worse.

Just get some redundant block storage somewhere that supports object lock (to prevent accidental deletion or ransomware encrypting all your files) and do incremental backups with something like Arq or Restic. There are some good services where 100GB storage costs $1 monthly.

So their role is increasing the scarcity/cost of property?

Remember a landlord is not a developer or builder - they generally buy property that already exists.

I think what you are saying is that the property wouldn't be available to rent, BUT would be available to buy at a potentially lower price (as buyers wouldn't be competing with rent extractors/landlords)?

I know we are talking commercial property here, but look at the market in Sweden, where renting property to live in for more than a month is illegal in most cases. The cost for a young person to buy their first flat (often with family support) is low. The country operates fine with very limited rental. People still build property, young people still get to live.

Conversely, maybe some Twitter clone does replace Twitter! Using TikTok as your example, it killed Triller which was (and still is) moderately popular. Even further, Triller was mostly just an iteration of Vine. Vine was definitely the first of line though, I can't think of any earlier mobile-first video sharing social media platforms.

Why use femtocell over Wi-Fi? It costs same as normal mobile data usage (maybe it depends). It's generally slower than Wi-Fi because not much bandwidth is assigned for it. No LAN connectivity. Its routing isn't optimal for just internet access because it routes home-ISP-internet-mobileISP-internet, instead of home-ISP-internet.
