Yeah, having my own UI, and having it be consistent across everywhere, is the thing I miss the most about the old internet. I mostly used Forte Free Agent because I was a kid without a lot of cash, but I remember there were much fancier options.

I could swear that somewhat recently (in the past 5-6 years), I saw mention of some forum software that could also provide NNTP access, but I can't seem to locate it now.

I feel like accessibility of forums would skyrocket if people could use their own interface, with whatever adaptations they want. That might be an angle to pursue...

I think there's an interesting social conflict in these stories.

A state wants to maximize the output of its working population. More output, more taxes, more power. A company wants to capture all of the produced value of the employee's time and labor.

So, if an employee is underutilized, the state should want them to get another job and produce more, while the company would prefer they sit around and do nothing because they might get bored and produce something for the company's benefit.

Who will win?
yes. it's a no brainer really. you get GKE and in return you may lose your business if you hit any snags. we're past the point where K8s is this exotic thing where people are not sure exactly where it is.

Human “Plant Blindness” – New Study Identifies Cause and Cure
I own a RBP and several mini computers. I once had to set an office up with network scanners which didn’t have integrated networking. Otherwise, over the many years, I never actually found a use for these.

When I need an experimental box I usually setup a droplet on Digital Ocean or a local VM.
It’s usually a safe bet that the state will preference companies over both employees and taxation unfortunately.

Good luck! I don't think you're ever gonna get your account back, and I'm not sure if you should. The world is a better place without Facebook.

Anyway, I had a business account on Facebook. I was paying them for page reach and they still flagged my pages as 'not following community guidelines'. After a year, the situation remained the same. My pages were still flagged yellow for no reason at all!

It's better to just leave Facebook and delete your accounts than to deal with it because in all fairness, you just can't deal with it.
You don't see the CIA or the police using this?
Target’s cameras have facial recognition. They can even identity people by gait. When these people return to the store, they can probably tell with some level of confidence they previously robbed a target. Why not stop them from entering? Or try to inconvenience them significantly?

Drop a bag of slime on them as they exit? Make the floor slippery as they try to run out? There are smart people working at target; they need to be less shy about protecting their store, which is an American treasure
Ugggh reading stuff like this is painful… this is the stuff that ruins remote work for everyone. I’d be more understanding if you spent your free time working on personal projects. It’s a different deal when you are misrepresenting yourself to multiple people and teams

Thank you for an extremely thoughtful reply! I’ll be honest, I don’t have the time or attention span to go back and forth again but I also don’t think that’s necessary. You’ve given me some good things and valid reasoning to think about, and I will! So, a good discussion and exchange of ideas. Thanks!
Ok, since you are such a big fan of lightning network, can you help me with some quick maths? Imagine we get everyone on the world to adopt Bitcoin + lightning. That means we need to open at least one payment channel for each person. How long would it take to create just that one payment channel per person, if we ignore all other transactions in the Bitcoin blockchain?

[Spoiler: it's more than 30 years just for onboarding, for those who are curious. For the unaffiliated bystanders, next time you hear "Lightning network solves all issues, layer 2!" chant from the cult, remember that Bitcoin is still a tired old database at the bottom of it that is still looking for a problem to solve.]
They usually perform well, but get put in a drawer and forgotten about because the software compatibility is generally atrocious.

At this point I am having trouble understanding who would consider GCP. I mean maybe something along the lines of: something something, multi-cloud strategy, no lock-in options, let's also use GCP so we have multi-cloud. But I never see it as the option to pick. It's sad really.

The danger is sliding the Overton window so that society becomes accepting of theft, which makes life objectively worse for everyone including the thieves.

Look at things like food deserts for an example of why allowing high theft is bad. Crime is so normal in these areas that its not even viable to bring in food in exchange for money.
This can’t be real!!???!!
An even more perverse chain is: (thief) -> (fence) -> (Amazon) -> (delivery) -> (thief) -> (fence) -> (Amazon) ...

At least it's Amazon losing money then rather than Amazon benefiting from crime against competitors.

I write it again: I am so glad that the geizhals.eu (.de/.at and skinflint.co.uk) website exists in Europe.

It's probably the best price comparison website that I've seen, and it has soooo many dedicated filters for each category.

I don't know how to buy hardware when geizhals is gone, because both amazon and ebay are the most ignorant searches that I've used. No matter what you type in there, no matter how often, no matter what you "quote".

Everything gets pushed aside for the sake of useless ads that have nothing to do with the things you are searching there.

With geizhals, you see the price history, a lot of similar products, and a lot of feature based comparions that you can do when you're undecided on what to get. And a lot of private/ company online shops that are included in their dataset, so you can support them.

For example, take a look at the filter options in the CPU categories. It's insane what kind of development went into it. [1]

I don't think it's illegal to work multiple jobs at once. At most, this person might be violating a company policy at one of their jobs (or, more realistically, any would fire them without cause as an at-will employee/contractor).

That isn't meant to be a defense of this (I think it's unhealthy on a personal level, and immensely risky on a reputational level); just that fraud might be the wrong nail to hammer.

Edit: On the other hand, some of their other posts imply willful deception of their employers (like outright lying about being unable to attend meetings[1]). It's possible that would constitute employment fraud.

My hypothesis is that we have a collective knowledge that we tend to forget and that the new generation often doesn't understand, or takes for granted, the foundations of the infrastructure we use and sometimes tries to apply concepts they've just learned without understanding the subtlety and complexity of the ecosystem as it exists. This tends to happen with younger people which is why I was asking the age of the OP.

You being the OP that you're referring to yourself in the third person? And you're trying to insinuate that I'm an idiot criticizing an expert? It'd be nice to say so instead of saying this so obliquely. I've insulted you. Sorry. I was and am arguing in good faith. Please show me the same courtesy.

It's great that you worked on all these assemblers, macro languages and operating systems but I stand by my point. There are many DSLs in and around "operating systems" that you've failed to identify.

Maybe the crux of disagreement is that you have in mind a particular type of DSL for a tranche of operating system engineering that you haven't properly articulated. Considering your oblique insult and response, I would guess this is the case.
Culture change takes a LOT of effort and time.

It needs persistence, it needs to be drive from the top down AND from the bottom up and everyone needs to be committed to to cause.

You need to be ready to dump people and not hire people that are not compatible with the desired culture.

Just sayin it, and posting out some emails about it will not change anything.
Thanks for the thoughtful question. Signal to noise, spam, sybil attacks etc. is probably the hardest problem to solve for this project, so I suppose it only makes sense its not really solved. But I hope that Chatter Net offers the tools which can be used to, if not solve, then at least make progress on the issue.

The short answer is that Chatter Net routes messages to you only from people you follow. If this was just messages authored by people you follow, it wouldn't be a very interesting platform. But in fact, whenever a message lands on your UI, you emit a View (https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-view) event on the message you just viewed. And so people who follow you will see that view, and that's how content makes it way around.

The long answer is.. well long. And it's not an answer so much as a conversation. I see this as all relating to trust. And it's not really possible to discuss trust without implicating the debate of anonymity vs. privacy.

In real world communities, you trust some people, and so you are wiling to spend time listening to them. These could be family, friends, actors, politicians etc.

On the internet, the mechanism for trusting someone is actually a bit odd. You believe that when you connect to a known domain, there is some trustworthy entity behind it serving you content of interest to you. And if that domain hosts a social media platform, and that platform trusts a user by allowing the user to create an account, then you sort of extend the trust you have in the platform to that user. But this is all very anonymous and leads to all sorts of issues such as bot farms and domain parking.

When things are framed that way, it almost seems the current efforts around moderation are really trying to treat the symptom, not the cause. Does it make sense to trust an anonymous user on some platform? The place this seems to work best is Wikipedia. But even there the implicit trust in user accounts is sometimes abused (https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/08/wikiped...).

I think somewhere along the line the concepts of anonymity and privacy got confused. In the real world, if you walk around hiding your face and otherwise concealing your identity, people don't trust you. The things you want to keep private, you discuss in a private setting (e.g. in the comfort of your home). But when you are in a public forum, your identity is what you use to get others to listen to you and interact with you.

In this sense, Chatter Net is a public forum, while something like Signal or Matrix Chat would be a private forum.
Amazon barely knows who is listing products on their site, whether the products are even legal, and sometimes they can’t even tell what a “product” is.

Any segmentation is garbage because instead of making the best product possible a company instentionally makes it worse.
That's good to know, thanks. I've had pretty good luck over the years with ordinary RPis (I keep a couple around for random projects); the most serious problem I ever have with them is the long-standing one around slow SD card corruption.

IRC did this for me. Seeing that the #warez op who owned breasts.com was making $50k a month for reposting titty pics back in 1995 made me realize I had to rethink the whole future plan my parents had in mind for me.
Sounds reasonable to me and I suspect certain parts of Wikipedia might be better for it. I am also reminded of many different cases where content providers need to be legally compliant and take down certain materials (child porn, revenge porn, torture, gore, DOXing, etc.). Do I want to be doing that for my mastodon server? Sounds like a fucking nightmare, yet very important for the web I want to be a part of.
I find the environmental angle pretty hard to buy.

The ideal customer for this sort of scheme is "I'll buy a 16-core today, and if my business needs grow substantially in two years, I'll unlock it to 24 cores."

This would, under the current scheme, involve opening the case and swapping a CPU. I don't think this happens for any number of reasons:

* Service contracts (and associated obscene costs for manufacturer upgrades) discouraging people from DIY upgrades. Maybe selling it as a service reduces some recalctriance there, but it requires absolute 100% "this will not void your warranty" reassurances.

* Upgrade needs outside the CPU (i. e. new networking or drive interfaces)

The logistics are also sort of ugly. Even if you find a willing customer, the ceiling of the upgrade is presumably the top of the line of that generation. After a few years, this might not be compelling, without some very aggressive pricing. In desktop terms, if you had a Ryzen 1300 today, how much would you be willing to pay to "unlock" it to a 1800X knowing that there are far better 5000 series parts available for cheap?

The idea of "sell everyone the top CPU, and fuse it down in software" also assumes high yields on top-end parts, something Intel has had problems with in recent history. If you're only producing, say, 10% of your parts hitting top specs, will there be enough to go around for both "people who will pay up front for the full chip" and to stock the "upgradeable" pool?

Didn't downvote but I've owned most of the OrangePi models over the years. Many of them require you to run their non-mainline kernels because of drivers that aren't upstreamed (and likely cannot be due to quality issues), and they never really update those kernels. It's quite annoying. Nowadays for routers and other utility boxen I often use Intel NUCs which are a bit more expensive but much more pleasant to work with (decent UEFI firmware, perfect mainline kernel support, etc).
How is holding multiple jobs anything close to fraud?
AFAIK in the US you can buy/sell a house with an anonymous LLC. It's not clear to me you would even need an ID in the process, although that may vary by state. Definitely wouldn't need the rest of the stuff, except the money.
this is not about how tiny you are. it's about having a system in place to fix issues and help your customers.
No. The killscreen was 29. They couldn't go past it. With rolling they can potentially go much further. To limit the length of games they decided to stop at level 49. Then recently the official kill screen decreased to 39. Any points after level 39 does not count.

Fans and players generally prefer having a lower killscreen, while keeping a high level of gameplay.
As a Chicago resident I’d say it’s mostly “quite quitting” by cops. You never see them working anymore, and the people I’ve talked to about their experience with police basically all say that they never even showed up, and if they did they refused to even fill out a report.

The union even officially called for work stoppages due to vaccine mandates.

Not sure fraud is the right word, but the companies are expecting him to be working 40hrs a week and I'm guessing he is not doing that, which is at the very least dishonest. Perhaps he is actually working 80hrs a week in which case this is not fraud for sure.

But he mentions someone had 7 jobs and was working 20(??) hours a week which means he's basically scamming all those companies.
It's like that in San Francisco and Oakland too, although the suburbs in the bay are mostly much more chill.
If you get paid by the hour, would it not be fraud to lie about how much time you spent on the project?
aGameScout is a pillar of the community.
The RPI is sort of the exception; I have a couple of them doing odd tasks around the house like displaying security cameras, but that's an outlier due to the massive amount of support it gets.

In boxes in the basement are all sorts of SBCs, from the original A10 Cubieboard from 2012, to many Hardkenel boards, to all sorts of bizarre barely operational SBCs from various sources. They all had the same issue of being basically unsupported unless you made it your life goal to dig through obscure datasheets and compile kernel patches from some forum post you found.

A good holistic replacement for the RPI is the APU2, a x86 board of similar cost that has a bunch more peripherals, real support for booting from SATA, ECC memory, and that sort of thing. Absolutely no video support, but I have years of uptime on the things with no issue.
In my experience they are only worthwhile if you are utilizing the GPIO pins.
This is amazing. Congrats and keep going. We need more of this spirit in the world. You saw a place of optimization and optimized it. Well done.
