These are indeed the two to three things I miss about our chef based infrastructure we had before. Doing 200 - 300 things on a system with chef takes 2 minutes in a chef run either at next full half hour + splay, or when forced. With ansible, the very same system at times takes 15 - 20 minutes. And mitogen is kind of a thing which reduces the ansible run back to 2 - 3 minutes - acceptable even enjoyable levels - but it falls apart if the python installation varies across many hosts, or when connecting to many systems at once (though that might be our firewall), or for other reasons if it feels like it.

And ansible filters are just something else. I get how to use them by now, but compared to some simple ruby's select + map... yeah. In most cases, once we need two of the complex filters, we just introduce a custom one in pure python because that saves sanity points.

Ask HN: Are there any good hard blocking apps / mechanisms on Mobile
I use MacOS as my primary device. On it I have edited /etc/hosts to block most of sites which I find I am impulsively visiting (news, social media etc.). Since unblocking required editing the file which requires a password (and I have a long inconvenient password) and clearing the cache, this is a good enough barrier to block the impulse.

I use an Android device for mobile and I wanted to the same here - block at device level. Router level blocking is not something I want since on mobile I can just connect to the mobile network and I guess that will bypass router level blocking. Is there any similar process I can use to block the sites on mobile as well ? Used NetGuard for a while but it was so easy to turn it off.
I think they should design the walls to make this easier and folks should put wheels on the side. Let’s go crazy, that was awesome.

Would you say this is from within you or are people putting pressure on you?
I have a P4 CM, for which I have:
- Installed a 2TB NVMe m.2 SSD (with a PCI to m.2 adapter)
- Configured Samba and use it as a poor man's NAS, which is actually not so bad.
- Installed Kodi and hook it to TV via HDMI 0, another poor man's media center (as a side effect, YouTube plugin for Kodi doesn't have ads)
- Installed Syncthing, which servs as my major private backup system. (I know, Syncthing is not really a backup solution per se, but I just enjoy the dropbox-like convenience so much, and it has some basic versioning capability, good enough for my need)
- Installed PiHole (actually on another Pi 3 which I have for years and reluctant to throw away as it's still working) and my kid won't be annoyed by the ads while playing with iPad - I'm diverging, but some app still shows a "watch videos for in-game items" button even after I purchased the "remove-ad package", which I really hate for kid to waste time on, not to mention many App Store games/apps are heavily ad-ridden nowadays)
- Occasionally run the free Mathimatica that comes with the system for some very basic math calculation/demo
- Setup nginx and configured a DDNS with LetsEncrypt, it serves some very basic stuffs that I'd rather keep private.
- Used to run some cron jobs for some minor tasks.

In short, it's a low-power tiny linux server which I'm satified to tinker with, and I assume other good SBCs like BananaPi/ODroid/etc will serve the same perpose well also.
Call it Nitter, for short.
Germany has tripled its electricity generation from natural gas since 1990 from ~30 to 95 TWh.

Also, Germany is bringing more and more coal-fired power stations back online despite a combined 120 GW of wind and solar installations.

Neither wind nor solar provide dispatchable electricity and therefore cannot replace conventional power plants.
I don't remember twitter having a serious vibe. It's a mess of vibes. Tumblr is also a big mess, but more on the goofy side. I don't think it would change much even with a twitter diaspora.

We Need More Nuance
Thanks! You're right, there's currently no RSS. Might change that in the future, but I haven't given it much thought just yet.

I agree that blogs are making a comeback. It's about time. We're in need of some sort of detox after a decade of social media fuelled lives. Hopefully it leads to a more interesting, less overwhelming internet.

> No, I'm just not interested in any "neutral" discussion of human rights. I don't want to read or listen to nationalists, incels, or whoever offering up opinions on the "great replacement theory" or whatever.

You pick an extreme example to make the same point anyone says about "free speech". I do find it funny that you left out the other side of the extreme. I am equally uninterested in listening to climate extremists who spray oil on businesses, rioters, antifa, anti-gunners, etc. Turns out, the extremes don't groove well with journalistic integrity because they don't believe in truth anyway. In fact, many of these extremes are created by the exact "journalism" we are complaining about here.

I do want neutrality in the truest sense. If news could be a list of facts derived by good journalism with sources, interviews, etc then I would be content. I don't want spin, I don't want an editorial disguised as a front page article. I want a person with a mundane droning monotone voice to tell me what happened, read off the interviews, and then close out the show. I want a set of facts that I can then derive my own conclusion from. This leaping off point would let me take this to my friends or family and have a meaningful discussion on what they think, or how it effects people, etc. Instead everything is an emergency. Everything is extreme. Every news outlet on whatever side you believe is telling you what to think, not what happened. You can't even listen to the big 3 news outlets in America, average their opinions, and end up anywhere closer to the truth. Coincidentally, this is the same problem with so-called "fact checkers", which is just a clever rebranding of yellow journalism, where the "fact check" is just a re-link to another disguised editorial or speculation on the meaning of something with enough filler to feel "truthy".
That way Cellular Operators / Government can't see what you're doing (assuming VPN, no leaking, etc.) but they still can track where you are, very precisely, every second your phone is not in airplane mode or off. And with location, they know a LOT about you, potentially can infer identity at some point.
I wish authors like these would put a bit more effort and research into these posts. There's a big gap between something being clickbait and something being worthy of the title heading they dared to slap on it. This post probably harmed AGI research more than it helped.

The author shows profound naivety by listing these in supposed "progressive difficulty" order, without evidence of such, all the while proclaiming that such a list is more important than the AGI itself. And I'm curious about why this was decided to be published in groups that are known for readers that are AGI-aware but AGI-laymen nonetheless. It's wonderful that more people are reading about AGI in 2022. Great stuff. But please don't waste those gains on this drivel.

If you want to read about AGI, there are better places for that:

I enjoyed the Three Body Problem series despite its flaws. I found it refreshing how unlike typical science fiction it is. It's much more idea and plot-oriented than character-oriented. Second book was my favorite. First spends a bit too much time on Chinese history, and the third goes too far off the rails.
Thank you! I'm not a designer, but I try. I took some creative inspiration from a few other minimalist blogs on the internet, as well as some stuff I saw on pinterest.
I recommend Memeorandum[0] if you can't pull the plug entirely. It's "an auto-generated summary of the stories that US political commentators are discussing online right now.", and you've got a zillion sources right there at your fingertips if you want to see the various sides of any given issue.

My wife asked me about this just today; she's trying to wean herself off of Twitter, but it's useful to her for keeping on top of "news" (you can get it to do that if you set your feed just so). I didn't really have a good answer for how she might do that without Twitter other than something like Reddit; the mix of human interest + culture + news is hard to reproduce.

I've got an itch in the back of my brain telling me the next winning "social" media app will be one that can capture that "news feed" aspect of Reddit, Twitter and Facebook, but without enabling the direct interaction that ruins those platforms, but I'm kind of "terminally online" at this point so my PoV is likely skewed.

(Because I'm terminally online) Kind of like somehow disabling /all chat in LoL -- a way to consume the news/content without the toxic infighting and abuse the Internet apparently triggers in people.

Germany produced about 30 TWh electricity in 1990 from natural gas. In 2021, it was about 95 TWh.

Even the current government in Germany was planning to build more natural gas power stations to replace coal plants.

Wind and solar do not provide dispatchable power and therefore cannot replace any conventional plants.
The way the Internet is built, it's very difficult (maybe impossible) to ever tell if a client app is being operated by a human or a bot. There are various ways to make automation harder, and there are heuristics to guess if the operator might be a bot, but neither are absolute.

The best we can build today is an environment that "feels" like everyone is human but where we don't actually know and where that's almost certainly not true. (Think about Snapchat's "no screenshot implementation" as a real-world parallel.) The only bots on the platform would be the most nefarious actors who are willing to invest in the arms race.

Any platform that solves this problem will have to take a different approach - probably assuming there are bots and then providing tools to allow humans to only interact with other humans they can reasonably trust.
The only authentic news source for me now, is two private twitter lists I maintain, one named "left" and the other, named "right." These are loose terms - not fully indicative of the accounts that form the lists. These two feeds give me a range of perspectives on any current happenings from (loosely again) far left to far right, with everything in-between. And then, from that and the counter-arguments that I see on both sides, I can mostly tell what actually happened.

The mainstream media's coverage is often worse than those feeds, and definitely and deliberately lacking in the truth, with a clear intent to skew public opinion to one of those sides, depending on the publication. The ones that pretend to be neutral are somewhat worse than those that wear their biases on their sleeves, because of an additional layer of deception.
No, they don’t. But they also don’t listen to people who’d have FF still be the slow-as-molasses version with XUL it used to be.
That would just load each global variable into registers and write them back to memory, swapping them.

If the compiler had decided to put two locals located already in registers, and had the swap in a branch, like so:

if (foo()) {
bar();
(a, b) = (b, a);
}

Then the registers might get swapped with an xchg instruction or something, I don’t know. The compiler’s goal is to have pipelined execution be as fast as possible, so there’s no way it’s going to use bit-mangling operations that would get in the way of that.

Just plug the phone charger in a power outlet timer that turns on the power just 2 hours per day. That would simulate normal daily phone charging.
I have stopped following national and world news. I do learn about major events such as wars at some point but other than that here is the type of news I follow:

Tech/science news, local/city news, reddit threads on specific topics/hobbies

National news is full of sensational drama and I don't have much influence on the outcomes anyway.
- It's also "big" in the sense that it's all-encompassing and hard to replace

- It makes alternating between systems harder because so much is Linux + Systemd specific.
This is something I've struggled with a LOT in the past so I can imagine how you must be feeling. First of all, two things to think about:

1) Not everyone who seems passive is passive. People are more stressed than they let on.
2) What does work mean to you? Do you view it as something that pays the bills? Is it your passion and you adore what you do? Somewhere in the middle? Have you become more engaged because you love what you do or because you feel like you have to pick up everyone's slack? Those are good things to think about.

Some things that helped me (maybe you'll find them helpful too):

1)I literally tell myself every day that this is just a job. That I'm replaceable at work but I'm not replaceable at home. That my work projects don't matter in the grand scheme of things but my personal ones do. That it doesn't matter what my boss/coworker thinks of me but what my family/partner/friends/I think of me.

2) Do the things that you know are good for you. For me that's yoga, running, ballet, playing the violin etc.

3) Have times where you don't discuss work related things with your partner/family/friends (e.g. stop talking about work after 5 pm)

4) Take dedicated breaks. Don't scroll through Instagram and call it a break. That's mindless stimulation. Make a cup of tea. Go for a walk. Celebrate yourself.

5) One of my favorite quotes: "There is no audience to perform for, there is no approval, no admiration to attain. There is no role worth playing, there is no one to convince. Let it go."

6) Think about your bigger motivation behind work. While I don't like my current job at all, I try to view it as a stepping stone to something I want to be doing in the future. Some people find vision boards helpful. I haven't tried that yet but want to do that next year.

7) Your self-worth is not attached to your job. You spend a lot of time at work and it is so important to remember that you are a wonderful, wholesome, lovely person whether you work at that job or not. Sense of self can get lost when we're stressed about work. Please surround yourself with people that just love you no matter what. That hype you up.

Letting go of work stress can be so damn hard but I really found that with some strategies (whatever they will be for you) it does get better. Hang in there! And also, no shame in quitting and looking for something else if you can. Life's too short.
>The idea that the the current economic order is the most efficient is... idealistic

Nope. It's a fact that the current world economy is the most efficient yet seen. Imagination is not implementation. There remains plenty to discuss on how to do it better going forward.

>The global economy is about expanding the wealth and consumption of the.01% while maintaining a standard of living well enough that the next 20% won't murder them and guard then from the bottom 80%

Not worth arguing with it goes nowhere interesting, the gloabl economy isn't designed. Billionaire influence is quite limited for we rail that it exceed our own. Whatever. And yet somehow, despite what you think and I think about the global economy structure the bottom %80, hell the bottom 20% are objectively much better off in terms of food and health than Mill's time. While the sheer numbers of people have expoded. We've never had so many in absolute numbers and perecentage lifted out of sickness and poverty. That isn't nothing. Continue hating billionaires by all means. I do.

>We're well well beyond this capability.

So by design or accident even you acknowledge it has "worked" for those who would otherwise be sick and hungry.

>Westerners need to eat less meat, waste less electricity (more fuel for fertilizer etc).

Maybe? Why not? This has absolutely nothing to do with feeding 7billion and treating their diseases. Really. Nothing at all.

>Rishi Sunak

Who? Be careful whose leadership you follow. I somehow doubt you'd accept him as an authority on anything you didn't like the sound of. Myself, I sure wouldn't on anything at all... Billionaire by marriage or not adds nothing to the quality or thought.
I'll try to repeat ? read this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events

The above link is the "News Portal" of Wikipedia. I'll assume that -like me at 1st- you didn't even imagine it could exist.
It depends on how you interpret the parent comment, but my guess is no. The autorotation you're speaking of happens in a plane roughly parallel to the ground. This is a very powerful and stable way for a wing to generate lift: https://www.av8n.com/how/htm/spins.html#sec-samara

There's another option, which is counter-rotation along an axis parallel to the ground, and orthogonal to the direction of travel. This mechanically induces circulation, which produces lift (by the same principle that a curveball produces sideways lift.)

Yes they can. Currently, the only way to DM a person is to reply to a post. Each post lets you toggle the Likes and Reply (DM) feature for that post. So if you leave the Reply toggle off for all posts, you won't be able to receive them. Folks that have already replied to earlier posts that had the reply feature on will still be to continue the conversation though. I'll probably add a Block feature at some point in the near future though.

I also have a B+ running PiHole. It's perfectly usable, and even the web interface is genuinely very fast and usable, even on this single core Pi with the limit memory it has. It's very impressive. The only thing that broke in over 5 years is the power supply (phone adapter).

Article misses one element of great markup language: to reduce complexity, there should be only one mechanism for expressing things. HTML-style attributes are unnecessary. Anything you can express with an element, you can also express with attributes. Attributes are there probably because the overall model of XML/SGML is so complex.
I have pruned my feeds so I get almost no news about celebrities, sports, or random market movements.

For other news, I try to keep things balanced as far as the culture war goes, and I try to keep in mind the ultimate sources of the stories I read (press release, leak from government employee, etc).

The fact that Pi is so underpowered that it cannot even make full use of the SSD is probably a contributing factor to the overall stability.
> We just don't know enough to say it is political.

If you read my comment again you will realize that I did not say whether the attack was political or not.

I said the defense of the attack certainly is exactly that: political.

So it does not matter anymore whether the attack itself was political at this point.

The question now is: Why would anybody defend an supposed "non-political" attack like this one? This is literal "supporting-horror-movie-villain"-territory. Or as I said: If they made me defend that, I would definitely reconsider why I let them manipulate me into this. I am not sure what I would gain from letting them do this to me, other than offsetting the realization that they duped me for yet another day.

On a side note: given what we know this attack was indeed political. If you are consume actual news outlets you might know that the attacker is quoted to have said to the police he wanted to wait for the speaker and "break her kneecaps” to show other members of Congress there were “consequences to actions".

Attacking a public representative for their political actions is as political as it gets. If you don't like what your representatives do in a democracy, you vote them out. What you don't do is this psycho killer bullshit.
>Who knows what sort of tech aliens would have? I don't think this whole foray into general purpose computing was necessarily pre-destined.

It's sometimes fun to think that technology is a function of the intelligence that creates it.

What if the aliens have some vastly different perception of reality than us? Things we consider obvious to them may not be, and vice versa. The underlying desires and motivation different.

Humans for example, often tend to invent things for the sake of it. Imagine a species that doesn't do that. Or an organic FTL drive conjured into existence over eons via distributed intelligence. Weird.
I used to do something similar with hook scripts from DNSMasq and sending notifications to my phone. The next step was to allow me to click a button in the notification and kick that device from the network, but I never did get around to figuring out how to do that; I expect it wouldn't be done in DNSMasq, but I don't know which service _is_ responsible for kicking/blocking devices (by MAC presumably)?
second this, dealing with it myself.

gave my number to bank to send me TOTPs, and then moved away literally dozens of thousand km away to find out that roaming is not enabled by default (had to buy a new sim card from new carrier), you have to visit office in-person, and on top of that, bank wouldn't send SMS to foreign numbers, so my card is good to cash out basically, forget the online payments
In its current form, in addition to the lack of public comments, you can also turn off the Replies (DMs) on each post, which will stop trolls from reaching you.

I'm hoping this will be sufficient, although it will end up blocking out good conversations/replies as well.

I'm not sure how to handle it better.
