I've really wanted one of these, but the price is what stops me in the end. For the benefits I get from using a VPS, the near wash in price in the end pushes me more towards using the cloud.

~$400USD in the used market for the chassis. Add another ~$100 each for four drives, maybe one extra as a spare, so we're at ~$900 for just the hardware assuming your used box had enough RAM and what not for your needs.

I have cheap electricity right now at ~$0.09/kWh. 0.035kW * 24 * 30 = 25.2kWh/month, * 0.09 = ~$2.27/mo in power costs. I won't add internet costs as I'd have the same internet connection with or without the server.

Over 5 years, the power cost adds up to ~$136.20 at my current rate, which will probably only be higher over the next 5 years. So total costs assuming I don't have any hardware failures outside that one spare hdd over that period is then $1,036.20, or $17.26/mo.

Comparatively, I spend $15/mo for a VPS with a large cloud provider doing similar tasks as what I would use that microserver for. For doing things outside my house, it has far better networking than what I could get at home. It has automated backups stored at that cloud provider. It has way more reliable power than just using my mains (I didn't include UPS costs above!) and generally more reliable internet services. Its running a way newer (more features) and faster processor than that Gen 10 microserver is running. It doesn't take up space in my closet.

There's definitely networking tradeoffs to consider. With the VPS, obviously I'm limited to my internet connection performance and increased latency between the two sites. But conversely, I probably get better performance on most networks outside my home to that VPS. It then really depends on what kind of access patterns you should prioritize.

At the end of that five years, I do technically still have that hardware whereas at the end of 5 years on my VPS I still have a monthly bill. I agree that hardware has an excellent chance of living way more than 5 years, but at the same time it might break somewhere along the way and last you less than 5 years. I definitely have hardware that's lasted over a decade though, so I'd lean towards it lasting a bit more than 5 years.

There's pros and cons both ways to think about, and I don't necessarily think either direction is the answer. The answer really depends on what you're wanting to prioritize.

I do constantly think about these Gen 10's though, they seem pretty awesome!
Certain fields are a lot easier to do novel work in. For a grad student in computer science/computational biology, you practically don't need any grant funding at all. You can download public data, work on the university hpc for basically free, publish whatever the hell you want, and pay your stipend with a TAship. Others, where you have to regularly buy reagents or maintain an animal model, you pretty much need grant support to buy these things.
I don't think London is cheap, American wages or not.
Where is the dark matter?
Sure - but that's true of every site on the web. Conflating mainstream media's reach with Twitter's is fairly disingenuous, since mainstream media also highlights basically every other platform in similar ways.

The brief exception to this is politics - where Twitter was an easy way to get a relevant soundbite from a politician on a topic. I think that era is waning very quickly.
A couple of things that come to mind:

- Mediawiki

- Apache Roller

- Apache HTTPD

- eJabberd

- SugarCRM

- Bugzilla

- Mosquitto

Those are the big ones we use that are self-hosted.
I have zero experience with bazel, but I believe it offers the possibility of mechanisms similar to this? Or a mechanism that makes this "somewhat safe"?
People will work an extra 100hrs to afford the ticket for "promoted big band" instead of just for visiting a local band show that would be not as flashy but still very fun. You just have to do a bit of research on your own. All it would take for people to defeat ticketmaster(if they are indeed so bad) is just stop choosing them for their entertainment for a little while, but they don't. Entertainment is not a scarce resource.
that is fair; my only real complaint is that if the software were just maybe 5% more clever, the headlines it generates probably wouldn't look as bad as they do.
I haven't seen any indicators of Twitter failing besides 2FA failures; but every time I read anything on HN, it is doomed to fail. I feel like some of the resentful people here will try to hack into Twitter possibly get caught and see jail time? May be they will do something bad because this kind kind of irrational hate for a billionaire is not normal. Hell, even Peter Thiel doesn't get this vitroil. It reminds me of hate for Bill Gates by far-right nutjobs.

Why do you guys hate Elon with your guts with such an intense passion?
Noooope. Slack isn’t providing the kind of financial controls or guarantees necessary. There’s no reporting. Presumably any admin can manipulate or delete messages, etc.
Yes, the investigation is independent. What I believe you mean to suggest is that it is not impartial and lacks the adversarial natural of a US legal tribunal.
You're still taking things too literally.

A human typed in something less precise than you'd like in a style guide. Find a bug tracker to request a verbiage change. It's not that big of a deal.

No one is asserting that variables are in fact file scoped.
Pretty much. Ask anyone to name top pop artist from top off their heads from 5, 10, 20 years ago and the list of those names will be very, very short.
Correct. More people need to be aware of this. The 1 billion termination fee was never on the table
I don't think there is any website I care about checking regularly that does not have an rss/atom feed. All wordpress (and pretty much every other blog engine) sites do, subreddits do, https://hnrss.github.io/ for hacker news...

That said, I personally only use rss for slow-updating sites (pretty much just for personal weblogs and the news/announcements for some projects).

Wow. This truly cannot be connected, but so glad you posted this.
> Wikipedia is not a reliable source for any controversial topics or people.

Maybe this is true for certain modern topics, but I was able to learn most of 20th century history due to Wikipedia. Want to read about MK Ultra? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MKUltra. Want to read about Japan's human experimentation program and how the US offered them immunity https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731. Obviously this stuff is never going to be taught in school (maybe in undergrad history program, but who majors in history?). But it's on Wikipedia.

In terms of non-controversial topics, there's tons of value on Wikipedia as well. There is a broad collection of informative math and physics articles, I have read many of them and would argue they're useful. And also like one for every species of butterfly and virus.

In terms of modern AND controversial topics, I agree that Wikipedia is sometimes the target of some bullshit psyops and corporate whitewashing. But if you're willing to cut through that, lots of articles have useful information, like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Ukrainian_War. Even the title is relatively unbiased (unless you're in the west :) ). You don't go to Wikipedia for a peer reviewed article that's 100% accurate and defensible, you go to get a straight answer that's 90% correct, when every journalist and public figure is spewing a load of hot shit. And that's why, for example, when you Google "Darrell Brooks" the top suggestion is "Darrell Brooks wiki".

So yeah, I gave them 100 bucks. I don't care what they do with it. If they donate it to the Dr. Evil Foundation for Evil or somebody, fine whatever. As long as Wikipedia stays up.

I have a backup as well. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download
This is almost always incorrect. Many (most) people objectively are bad at communication. If you cannot make your point of view clear to anyone but yourself, you are bad at communication.
Been using vikunja recently too, it’s great!

Why Meta’s latest large language model survived only three days online
I've always fantasized about a facebook like dirty laundry website. basically a place where people freely and anonymously perform slander and indicate all the wrongdoings of everyone. Not unlike what we have now, but organized. It would either completely break some people, or show how incredibly hypocritical mob justice is with their public shaming.
I love this concept. It seems closely related to an idea I had: "IRL Adventure Club". Will check you out.
This is not immunity with respect to a criminal case; it's a civil suit.
If "most Republicans including DeSantis also support the program," why did Musk supposedly have to spend $44 billion to buy Twitter to influence them? This story makes no sense.
Excuse the harsh question, but how many people using this have actually died yet? As far as we know, you could just collect money and never trigger anything. It's also very hard to collect reviews for this service. I love the idea and I would like to have it, but I find it a hard sell to actually rely on it.
If they're "seething," what are you doing?
I just run pi-hole and Tailscale for now. Tailscale modifies the DNS config on every device, and lets you specify the pi-hole server as the primary DNS server on the tailscale.com admin console. Much more convenient than figuring out DNS config for the 4 different OS's I use.

I switched to BitWarden a few weeks ago from LastPass. I want to self host VaultWarden which is an API compatible rewrite. I chose VaultWarden due to smaller memory footprint (its written in Rust) and it includes some paid BitWarden features for free.

Using Tailscale, it'll be awesome to test my site on my phone using https://macbook:8080. It was also fun to run `ping iphone` on my server and it works, but only when the phone isn't locked.
I think this is highlighting an important point. People seem to be using different definitions of "free speech."

It appears one side is arguing against what we might call "Free Speech (tm)" while others are arguing in favor of the moral/ethical principle of not restricting the free exchange of ideas. Thus the two sides end up talking past each other.
Also "X implies Y" isn't commutative, so even if Y is true X may not be.

Plus colloquially if asked a two part "or" question, there is some ambiguity in a single part answer, but usually a "yes" will refer to the second part.

"Shall we go to the shop or the café?" "Yes." -> café.

This drives computer programmers nuts because we're so used to thinking in boolean logic terms but it's very common.
The Mastadon hype here has serious "year of the Linux desktop" vibes -- technical people getting excited about features that don't matter at all to the average user.

Until journalists, politicians, musicians, artists, and brands can have their posts go viral into the feeds of tens of millions of (unwilling) users, it doesn't replace what makes Twitter valuable.
You'd love a service like that, until you have some weird stuff working in CI but not in local (or vice-versa), that's why things are built from scratch all the time, to prevent any such issues from happening.

Npm was (still is?) famously bad at installing dependencies, where sometimes the fix is to remove node_modules and simply reinstalling. Back when npm was more brittle (yes, possible) it was nearly impossible to maintain caches of node_modules directories, as they ended up being different than if you reinstalled with no existing node_modules directory.
Hardly new. Every US president of the last 20 years has ordered the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent civilians through drone programs and wars. It is worth getting angry over, but the rot starts at the top.
Amphetamine addiction can cause impulsive behavior and allow a person to work abnormal hours
I’m curious to see how k8s isn’t a good fit for this? I’m not a k8s advocate for production code but at the CI level it seems ideal.
If I may take a moment to appreciate the art of the headline:

On one hand, this headline is so densely obscure, I had no idea what the article would be about until I started reading it.

On the other, it is absolutely dazzling, in the truest, entrancingly disorienting sense of the word. The cocktail of eyebrow-raising lexical connotations it whips up is sublime.
I wrote:

> I am saying anything more complex than forms requires web component tech

Which is true, creating anything more complex than forms *without a framework, as the OP mentions* would require web component tech.

You wrote:

> No, web components are not required to build a web app

What I wrote is not the same thing as saying "web components are required to build a web app".

Occam's razor: I suspect you genuinely made a mistake, and may speak English as a second language, but also are very young or not well developed, so rather than admit the error you're trying to argue with me about something I never stated.
Why is that not good? Twitter can communicate to people directly without the media middleman.
>Anyway, for me, TikTok is scary. It is deeply optimized to savagely take advantage of every thing that is wrong with the human mind and use it to keep you inside the Skinner box.

Also describes Youtube, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, etc. I've seen a bunch of slippery slope arguments here but no justification for Tiktok being any worse than the previous generation of social media. I'll agree Tiktok is more addictive than radio, sure.

If the argument is "all modern social media is optimized to take advantage of human psychology" I would agree, but if the argument is "tiktok is worse than the previous generation of social media" then I'd need to see some data/studies/evidence supporting the claim.
It is probably less than years ago, but its still a thing. In fact i heard youtube and other big sites (e.g. Reddit, etc.) still have rss feeds. Someone also told me that there is a bit of an uptick....buit this kind of thing is likely difficult to concretely quantify. As a single data point, I'm a fan of sites with RSS feeds...so i will frequent these sites more, and would be williung to pay for sites to have such a feature!
It's the great philosophical question of our time. Do our smartphones work for us or do we work for our smartphones?
No, you bombed them out of life.

Gheddafi in particular, he was killed like a rabid dog when was hiding in a hole in the ground and was harmless.

But I guess that if you buy enough billion in weapons from the US, you're fine.

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kDWcjB2-OXA/maxresdefault.jpg

What both Saddam and Gheddafi together have done is peanuts compared to what SA has done in the middle east.

The US are becoming more and more a problem, they do not understand anymore that power means using it responsibly.

There are people all over the world banning the access to American cultural products to their children, must mean something.
For completeness sake what I meant by deception:

> In order to process the murder of thousands of people, great pains were taken to deceive the victims concerning their fate. Jews deported from ghettos and concentration camps to the death camps were unaware of what they were facing. The Nazi planners of the operation told the victims that they were being resettled for labor, issued them work permits, told them to bring along their tools and to exchange their German marks for foreign currency. [0]

> They made you believe that life was normal [in concentration camp Westerbork, a waystation to death camps]. A lady gave birth premature, and it looked—even though Westerbork had one of the best hospitals in Holland, they didn’t have an incubator. They looked all over Holland to find an incubator, and when they found one they said to the lady, “See how good care we take of you?” Only six months later, that same lady with the baby was sent to the gas chambers. [1]

> Kurt Bolender, an SS guard in Sobibor, testified to this fact: “Before the Jews undressed, Oberscharführer Hermann Michel [deputy commander of the camp] made a speech to them . . . Michel announced to the Jews that they would be sent to work. But before this they would have to take baths and undergo disinfection so as to prevent the spread of diseases . . . [2]

> Wilhelm Pfannensteil, a German physician and hygienist who visited Belzec and Treblinka, also described the particularly innocuous exterior of the gas chambers in Belzec:

"The whole extermination centre looked just like a normal delousing institution. In front of the building there were pots of geraniums and a sign saying ‘Hackenholt Foundation’, above which there was a Star of David. The building was brightly and pleasantly painted so as not to suggest that people would be killed there. From what I saw, I do not believe that the people who had just arrived had any idea of what would happen to them." [2]

Silk Road did like $50-100 million in volume if you measure by bitcoin prices at the time. Tenderloin and a few neighborhoods in San Francisco alone probably have more annual volume than that.
> Although, sometimes people ask me a question where I have to work out in my head what the answer is and it feels weird to sit there in silence for 15 seconds as I do so.

I've had to train myself to actually respond in this situations "let me think about that for a second". Because although the silence is awkward it is way better than rambling off and getting something wrong or having someone interrupt your train of thought by trying to ask again or saying something else before I've actually had time to think about it. For that last part, I've also found it helps if you make really exaggerated "thinking gestures" (look up with a very quizzical expression on your face, tap your had, stroke your chin, etc.).

Hello,

I am the author of this blog post. I found it while scrolling Hacker News.

I think this thread is really interesting. I actually spend a good amount of my leisure time reading. But I don't think that one of those activities is more virtuous than the other.

Here's screen caps of my phone usage for the last 2 weeks: https://imgur.com/a/XUaIxaF

Does this fit the dystopian picture you painted of how I live my life? What if instead of TikTok, the app was Netflix? would that be better? Should my overall screen time just be less in general? How should it change to make it less profoundly sad?
Does Joppin has a server? Or do you simply have a place for the mark down files? That's what I do.
I don't think he's been involved in a startup. Usually people like this get involved in big bankruptcies. Usually startups aren't big bankruptcies.

Most startups work like this(minus the fraud). It is what it is. Approving things via chat is completely valid, for example. Several bot products have flows for approving expenses etc. All kinds of things are approved via chat these days.
Definitely interested in Immich. Google Photos is one of the few Google services I haven't ditched yet.
This is a huge part of it. Most people just can't keep track of what people outside their own heads would know. So they end up over explaining things that don't need it and not explaining at all things the other person doesn't know.
Are these services using textual-inversion? If so, I have to wonder how well they would work on a stable diffusion model that was trained with the filter in place from the start, so that it couldn't generate anything close to the filter.

As it is right now, stable diffusion can generate adult imagery by itself, however it seems like it's been fine-tuned after the fact to try to 'cover up' that fact as much as they could before releasing the model publicly.
Small potatoes when at the end of the day wikipedia is one of the few great websites we have left.

No ads, tracking, or megacorps. Plenty of transparency.
I'm not a vegetarian either, but like you I prefer straight forward foods.

Breakfast for me is eggs, avo, toast, some light veggies (spinach, other leafy stuff). Tasty, probably alright for me.

I'm not good at the diversify part though . . . I tend to eat this every day :)
>Saudi Arabia is key in keeping global energy prices lower by increasing global supply, and is also a key ally in a historically unstable region which impacts those prices.

The key to keeping energy prices low for the US is to stop giving away our oil and then focus on shifting our economy to an energy source that can't be manipulated by foreign powers trying to influence our elections.
Oh yes, it’s an entirely objective observation. /s
> My gripe with all CI systems is that an an industry standard we've universally sacrificed performance for hermeticity and re-entrancy, even when it doesn't really gives us a practical advantage.

The perceived practical advantage is the incremental confidence that the thing you built won't blow up in production.

> even with caching, COW, and other optimizations

Many CI systems do employ caching. For example, Circle.

I think your reply is the joke, the Poster comment is making good point, Saddam Hussein & Gadaffi were removed by US war machine. It's just a war that suits the US.
It's more than that.
A child entering this prompt is probably expecting one thing, but the internet is filled with pictures of another nature. There are possibly more adult 'my little pony' images than screenshots of the show on the internet.

So everyone has to have gimpy AI just because parents can't be expected to take responsibility for what their child does and does not see? Why the fuck is a child being allowed to play with something that can very easily spit out salacious images accidentally? Wouldn't it be significantly easier to add censorship to the prompt input instead? It seems like these tech companies see yet another opportunity to add censorship to their products and can hardly hide their giddy excitement.
Yeah, but the next paragraph indicates disbursements included entire houses.
> the music is simpler and less interesting

If you listen to top 40 only, then maybe. (Although a lot of top-40 music back in the 70's was pretty bad too. We only continue to listen to the cream of the crop from back then, not the average radio station song.)

But if you're listening to top 40 music these days, well that's your fault. Outside of it, there's never been more complexity and variety and interest and genre-mixing in the history of music than today. You're not stuck with the radio, you've got Spotify and the stuff you can find outside of the mainstream is amazing.
