As soon as I loaded this, it was mostly extremely biased political hackery. I'm sure there's a market for that, but the thing about Twitter is the views are diverse. That's why all the Right wing Twitter alts are not attractive either. The first account I saw was BrooklynDad who is a known left-wing troll account on Twitter, it's like loading up an alt and seeing MTG at first. Not a good impression.

I think it's hugely problematic that we are making even more siloed off partisan filter bubbles. I'd prefer not to be a part of that.

I host the following services via docker on my pi4:

- Main home PPPoE router

- 5ghz AP

- A pihole + coredns setup providing, LAN DNS adblocking via pihole pointing to a DoT upstream, a remotely accessible DoT server pointing to the pihole, a reverse DNS server for my IPv6 subnet and soon a DNS server for my domains :)

- A bunch of PHP telegram bots and static websites

- gitea

- woodpecker CI connected to the gitea instance

- mirror-to-gitea to mirror the projects I've still got on github

- invidious

- jellyfin

- plex (don't really use it, I prefer jellyfin but most of my friends use it so I set it up to aggregate our libraries)

- librespeed for LAN speed tests

- navidrome (really neat music player)

- nextcloud (mainly use it for the mail app via zoho mail)

- tvheadend

- a wireguard server

- vaultwarden

- a basic transmission instance, still gotta setup a nicer *arr combo :)

Yeah, you don't have to love it. But if the entire system is a stupid game, it seems pointless to get mad at any one particular player for playing by the rules.

But like, there's a reason Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs company will never be able to supply people on Medicare or Medicaid. If you actually advertise a real cost and Medicare says "we're only going" to pay 70% of that" you will be getting bilked for being honest.

The last part is right and is also why we have this problem.

Leap seconds are an architectural blunder that always belonged in the abstraction layer that lines up the sun with the rotation of earth (the time zone abstraction). It never belonged in the part that counts seconds.
The total drift is accelerating long term, because the tidal deceleration of Earth‘s rotation due to the moon is quadratic.

Some perspective, since I've been on the other side of exactly this issue, but for another bigco:

While there may well be a backend issue, in many cases, the HAR file contains tons of useful details (in my product's case) for things like "what were responses from other service calls, was anything failing locally, was any state in a weird... state" that can then let me better understand what's going on in the backend, or even know where to be looking in the backend. These large services are _so complex_ nowadays that looking at a slice of backend logs without the frontend to dovetail can often be a very partial view of the world, or be a needle-in-a-haystack scenario.

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here that it's similar to my project, clearly, they could maybe just be running a script (since we similarly request a HAR for all reports, since 99% of the time in practice it _is_ very useful), and you won't be harming anyone from trying to get a clear answer as to if the PG/triage group actually needs it to move forward and pushing back if they don't.

I also imagine that, if they're anything like us, you could request explicit deletion of all your support data from that case after the case is done, and they'd have to comply per GDPR/etc (We certainly would) and they likely already have to silo the information in ways that explicitly makes sure that sort of PII doesn't end up in buckets it shouldn't. I don't know if this moves the needle for you, CC #s are still touchy, but just thinking out loud.

Anyway, I hope this doesn't come across as apologetic for lax security practices, just wanted to give this perspective as I just remember the feeling of frustration of the customer refusing to send logs with a similar justification and my going "but it's going to be _much_ harder/impossible to diagnose your issue without that, and I have 0 doubts in my team's ability to properly handle and dispose of secure data as professionals, we are literally legally obligated to."
I now realized that the parent meant everything should have been TAI from the beginning, which is indeed a valid take. We can't switch to TAI today only because we are already using UTC.

Original comment: Only those who never tried to actually use TAI yourself can claim that you can use TAI instead of UTC without a problem.
For original code, might work. But if I'm making a bug fix to someone else's code, which is going to be most of the time in this situation, I'd try to adhere to the style of code that is already there. If it's shitty or I disagree with it, I'm not going to reformat the code and rename all the variables to do a bug fix. A: there's too much risk of me making a mistake and breaking something that works; B: I wasn't asked to reformat/restyle the code; C: what I prefer probably doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things
If you withdrew funds in the 90 days before the bankruptcy, even if you're not at all involved with FTX's operations, you might be considered to be a creditor of the bankruptcy and face clawback. Nobody will bother for the little guys, but anybody who got out 7 figures or above will get some attention. In which case you'll need an attorney. This is complicated.

For a guide to how this goes, see the Madoff recovery.[1] That took a long time, with payouts along the way. The big question was whether the amount owed was what customers had deposited with Madoff, or what customer's listed balances were with Madoff after years of fake gains. With the Madoff scam lasting decades, the fake yields were substantial. That was settled with a court decision that the amount deposited was what mattered. This controversy stalled payouts for some time.

Then, over the years, there were some big clawbacks, followed by distributions to victims. Many of the clawbacks involved people who were insiders in some sense, and they were deemed to have profited from the scam. The Madoff recovery got back about 75% of what people had put in. That's unusually good. Most of that was from clawbacks.

Madoff, though, was a regulated broker. The Security Investor Protection Act applied. Small investor losses (up to $500,000) were fully covered by SIPC insurance and paid out early. The SIPC ran the recovery process.
There was an accelerated process for hardship cases. In crypto, there's none of that.

I agree with you quite a bit here, although I'm of the persuasion that this one minute a century drift is nothing, you already deal with orders of magnitude worse when you go visit family in another time zone for example, and you're fine.

I think this goes along the lines of the great DST debate, the US is going to do away with the changes next year and make DST permanent. Not do away with it, keep it, forever.

Fundamentally we create these abstractions and begin to rely on them and then decouple how we operate from the real world. We created the clocks to measure the position of the sun in the sky, now we ignore the sun entirely, the clocks are god now. I don't think it's a good thing generally speaking, but on this particular issue, I don't think people are going to really feel anything different happening, it will decrease the engineering burden to constantly maintain and update systems, which means decreased resource consumption, with no noticeable impact on the day to day lives of anyone except those engineers relying on exact time measurement.
> The point about determinism is correct, but since wavefunction evolution is unitary, the universe is fully deterministic.

A problem: if you consider the contents of the universe (and the precise state of the contents at a given snapshot in time) to be part of "the universe", you have the hard problem of consciousness to tend with (in that humans are a part of the universe, and they rearrange its contents on a regular basis).

> Only if you take some interpretation that there's real physical process of measurement which we don't understand and is indeterministic you can get randomness.

Randomness is not the only means to achieve a non-deterministic universe, there is also the possibility of non-deterministic forces being in play, like human activity.

Of course, one can assert that human cognition is deterministic (no other option may even be available in some cases!), but science strongly suggests that simply asserting something to be true does not necessarily cause it to be true (though it does often cause it to appear to be true to pre-trained instances of human consciousness, a phenomenon which science has well demonstrated).

Abstractly(!), humans seem to be in a very similar cognitive state as they were when they ran on sub-perceptual religious axioms.

I agree. I see this as heading back towards something like Miracast, which really birthed Chromecast in the first place.

That said - I'd really like for genuine screen sharing to still exist, outside of the confines of merely opening an app on the device in question and directing it at a specific URL, while sending user input. That's fine for a lot of uses - but is not really a comparable feature set. So far at least - I don't see that in the matter protocol (I've also not spent a ton of time looking - so if someone knows it's there, please point me at it!)
This is a great thread. I have had a home server for almost 10 years at this point for files & media, and added a second dedicated dev server this year. They both run FreeBSD and I honestly couldn't imagine my life without them. I recommend to people all the time that they get a home server, even if its just a used NUC, but not too many people do for whatever reason.

My file / media server has roughly 20TB online and has movies, games, books, personal files, etc served with NFS & Samba. I don't use anything fancy like Plex or Jellyfin, just XBMC which works fine. It also runs the usenet stack nzbget, nzbhydra, etc and has a virtual machine running transmission through a VPN. I also have a custom ruby script that transcodes files to x265.

Once you get into the home server biz, the most important thing is to have a great case. Mine is the Fractal Node 804, which IMO is truly awesome - a big cube that holds a microatx board and 8 drives, and its actually pretty affordable. For hardware specs, I started dirt cheap and then upgraded too much, building a 12-core / 64GB setup that sat at 10% CPU utilization most of the time. I've since downgraded to a i5-10600 w/32GB RAM which is more than capable.

This is beyond the scope of the question, so I won't get into details, but I would also encourage any developer to have a dedicated dev server as it helps you to better understand performance and deployment.

I went through a summer of running about ten years ago when I ran many 5ks. Thats it. No history of playing sports at any level. I've followed training plans religiously this year and that helped "do it right". My first half marathon was using Nike Run Club which is fantastic because it "teaches you how to run". My next plans were with Hal Higdon and Garmin.

Once a FOSS ecosystem exists, it can always be maintained as such.

What may theoretically happen is that the same client won't be able to join both an open-source controller and a controller from Tailscale-turned-evil.

I suppose that corporations, especially those without huge IT departments, will and do happily pay Tailscale the reasonable money, and have their secure VPN just working. For them, it's no different than paying for Zoom or Office365, only cheaper. They totally do not want to depend on in-house networking expertise.

So I think Tailscale will be doing well financially,

I wasn't preparing to ban you! I looked at your history quickly and what I saw was mostly pretty good. I'm just asking you not to post things like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33643127 for what ought to be obvious reasons.

Re the word 'troll', the link I provided points to a thwack of explanations of how precisely we use that word. It doesn't have to do with impugning someone's intent (which we have no way of knowing); it has to do with the impact that certain kinds of posts tend to have on the threads (which we have plenty of ways of knowing, as they are externally observable). I'm not accusing you, by implication or otherwise, of anything more than making such a post. That's why I asked you not to do that!

I think they go hand in hand to a degree. There aren't many "non-processed" (picked off a tree, animal products, etc.) foods which are as calorie dense as processed foods. Having access to something like twinkies or a powerbar makes it way easier to consume lots of calories.
I'm not sure I support your "hot take" — it is hot and requires a lot of contemplation. But that's not the point, IMO.

The point is, that there ALREADY EXIST both TAI and UTC. TAI is true monotonic (whatever it means in a relativistic universe) and doesn't make any compromises. UTC abolishes monotonicity in order to keep both the length of a second and the time relationship to the orbital rotation. They both work. For whatever reason (for obvious reasons that is, but doesn't matter) UTC was chosen in virtually any software system to keep time.

So, ok, if there is a suspicion of leap seconds being unnecessary. How about moving from UTC time to TAI then? Let's keep UTC as it is, keep adding leap seconds and just make it a best practice to rely on TAI for all datetime operations and world clock synchronization? Maybe it will work out, maybe it won't, but at least you won't be breaking a perfectly working alternative (currently — mainstream) system.

The more I think about it, the more outrageously stupid abolishing leap seconds seems.
EV Sales Sticking Point: People Still Want Manual Transmissions
No honor should adhere to those who purvey hate, especially in an official capacity.

Tear their statues down, rename the streets, municipalities, and telescopes.
As spacecraft start making return trips to Earth we'll run into similar adjustment problems because TAI doesn't progress at the same rate at different altitudes and accelerations, so there'll need to be a re-sync at some point. Satellites already have a similar problem but can just use direct synchronization with Earth since it's so close. In theory spacecraft could do the same direct synchronization to Earth time, but e.g. a computer on the dark side of the moon would need additional relay(s) to stay in sync.

I'm not sure why we don't define an intergalactic time standard and approximate that everywhere with NTP-like protocols; one monotonic clock at rest (with respect to CMBR) in free space. The second is weirdly defined/tracked in Earth's gravity well.

Sounds like they transferred the title but it wasn't "by a dealer", so it was illegal. In addition:

it's only a graveyard if it's next to a church.

Not true. You can have cemeteries with a church or graveyards not. There's a connotation of "graveyards" as older than cemeteries, and most older ones were near churches, but it's never been a strict definition.

While we're on it though, "graveyard" is a recentish word ("grave" and "yard" are both old Germanic words but the compound word only comes from the 1700s). The Old English word was "licburg", meaning "corpse town". ("lic" is the source of the D&D/fantasy game "lich")

No on-chain solution is ever going to prove that your exchange doesn't owe a trillion dollars to a third party.

You need an audit for that. An audit. One of those things that has been done for centuries and millennia. It's not rocket science, it just consists of paying an accounting firm to look at your books.
While I respect your opinion, I'd like to offer another perspective.

Renaming a (recent) symbol of human progress is not the same thing as erasing history. That would be removing James Webb's name from the wall of NASA's former leaders, removing him from history books, etc. No one is proposing that.

Instead, it is holding our symbols to a high standard. We should pick those who truly stood out and above. There are plenty of historical figures that made great contributions to humanity at NASA. I doubt they would struggle to find an alternative.

That being said, based on the conclusions of the report, I think the name should stay.

Because they need to keep the cars on their lots on their books. If car prices drop 25% they lost 25% of the value of their inventory.

At the same time, Pixel phones represent a minuscule slice of marketshare. I doubt the Pixel division is making a significant chunk of profit for Google.

They might, but not under the current management.

The product that stands out to me is Stadia. As a technical achievement, Stadia is impressive, but Google managed to maximize all of the downsides to fully online gaming and minimize all of the benefits. No amount of engineering is going to save a company if the management is deluded or consumed with infighting.

One could also look at their history of undermining their own social or communication networks by throwing up a series of incompatible clients like Chat, Hangouts, Allo, or Duo. Same for Buzz, Orkut or Google+. Any of these could have been successful if they just stuck with it, but their behavior makes it extremely clear that we should expect these to be very short lived.

There are major business opportunities out there and Google is in a sound technical position to capitalize on them. But this would require a a degree of foresight and backbone that's absolutely anathema to the current management culture.
They will lose money if used car prices drop because they will have to sell their inventory for less than they paid for it.
