I want to consume HTTP headers at the lowest possible level. The webserver would output a custom log file for direct consumption.

There are certainly off the shelf options, but I enjoy reinventing the wheel and dislike dependencies. I'd like to use C because I have interest in OS level webservers.
The flight in question, by the way, occurred on Monday: https://www.facebook.com/ElonJet

And Musk is blaming it for an incident that he claims to have occurred on Tuesday: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603190155107794944

An incident that was so serious that to this date, no crime report has been filed to the LAPD: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FkD6LcVWIAEr-cC?format=jpg&name=... (and curiously, the reporter who first reported this fact was suspended from Twitter shortly thereafter).
Yes! I think the reason people struggle with Mastodon is they implicitly understand that picking a server is, whether they want it to be or not, a reflection of their online persona, and they don’t know how to find or gauge servers to see if they might “fit”.

I think universities should immediately make official instances for students and faculty. At least in academic twitter circles having an official institutional home would probably help a ton with migration; it would feel like a natural place to be.
That's a really good point. I missed mentioning it in my post above. That "sense of loss" is definitely an issue. That said, I do wonder whether people would be experiencing such a "sense of loss" if market power, political clout, and economic gains hadn't become so highly concentrated. That is, if more people in rich countries felt that their lives have changed for the better, they'd probably want more economic integration, not less.
Oh wow.

I had thought this was, "I simulated it in a high level HDL and synthesized it to gates".

No, this is... I built it with physical chips. Brilliant build and write-up!

Edit: This is beautiful for a second reason... The lack of regard for doing things "correctly". The ugly clock circuit is horrifically unreliable... But just reliable enough for it to still work.

It reminds me of Muntzing.

I think this is a nice reminder that not all business moves at the frantic pace of the valley.

Sure sounds like, this time, Betteridge is wrong and the answer is "yes". If so...well, it was both legal and cheap, and plenty of people with money would have had good (as in "self-serving") reason to do it.

Sadly - but predictably - the Washington Post story ends with "whoever did this horrible thing had a good lawyer, and covered their tracks well". Zero hint that anything could actually be done to guard against more such bad things happening. Let alone that anyone should get off their "click headline, read story, get angry, repeat" butt and try to do something.

Pro Tip: If you're selling / downsizing / closing a web site that's full of important information (for history, public interest, etc.), then you should consider donating it to a library with the resources to keep it on-line. Or at least keeping a copy, and put in a clause into the sale contract about free & easy public access having to continue. Or any public library being allowed to also host it, free, if they chose to do so.

This is pretty much the bible on the topic. At least on sockets programming in general, I don't think it covers HTTP.

You might find my epollserver interesting.

It multiplexes multiple clients (sockets) over a thread, so you can write an event loop in each thread and serve far more requests per thread than you could if it was one thread per client or one process per client. (epollserver_threaded.c)

It uses a thread safe multiconsumer multiproducer ringbuffer to communicate between threads.

This sounds like a ton of fun. I would have enjoyed this educational path.
And of the twice (now thrice) that it happened to yourself? Who profited? Was it yourself?

To quote your reply "If my wife loses her job or I lose too many clients we will have a problem." Ask yourself this - Cui bono? ("to whom is it a benefit?")

(I presume the 'guys flinging themselves from buildings’ refers to the Black Friday 1869 Stock Market crash?) [From Wikipedia] The crash was a consequence of an attempt by financier Jay Gould and railway magnate James Fisk to corner the gold market and drive up the price.

Perhaps it was a reference to the 1929 Wall Street Crash? If so perhaps a quote would help - "How can a very serious Stock Exchange collapse produce a serious setback to industry when industrial production is for the most part in a healthy and balanced condition?"

Consider both points and wonder whether or not the people like yourself are being played as pawns.

[Edit to update]: When I refer to the global elite I don't mean any particular race or religion because at the end of the day the only true global religion at this point in human history is who has the biggest bank balance. Consider this - Elon Musk's top position has now been displaced by the CEO of LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton). In every single recession the profits from luxury goods has increased. Ask yourself why.
His response seems perfectly reasonable to me: no real-time stalking. If your main critique of him is his (hypocritical) carbon usage, post a weekly or monthly summary of his emissions. Or, as he is allowing, post the flight details with a reasonable delay.

To conflate real-time stalking with free speech is pretty absurd. He’s not even speaking in hypotheticals —- a nutcase intercepted his car.

I see that I forgot to mention, I write my small projects from top to bottom after reading The Clean Code because I had too many repeated codes, meaningless variable names etc.

“needs to be the last straw for everyone left on the platform who is not a far-right troll or neo-Nazi.”

So if you don’t leave Twitter because we his guy told you to you are a far-right troll or Neo-Nazi? Why is this on HN?
Tracking down hardware/datasheet bugs like this is the worst. There's going to be some random, obscure, undocumented register being set in the Windows driver, or some subtle register initialization order or delay missing.

Hardware often gets developed in parallel with a driver for a particular platform, and the two are weirdly intertwined much more than you would hope. It's sometimes cheaper to just add a software tweak than fix a hardware/timing bug and just ship it.
> is it somehow proving it by it being a clear exception with special circumstances

Essentially yes. I would wager that if Putin could go back in time, he would not invade Ukraine. The economic consequences have been too severe. It really serves as a warning to other countries.

So Russia is now an exception to the “McDonald’s rule”, but it proves why the rule is generally true.
> Musk comically overpaid for Twitter and can do anything he wants with it.

No, he can't violate anti-trust (or any other) laws.
It's not like Microsoft just convinced a single judge about this either.

You'd have to be deeply delusional to think that this is not how the internet works, as this very clearly is exactly how the internet works.
It would be great to submit new locations to this. I know my community has one that isn’t shown. Crowdsourcing would work well here.
Without offering my personal view on the matter: there are individuals who believe that social networks, such as Twitter, have a non-trivial impact on public life (e.g., through political influence). These individuals likely believe they are essentially engaged in political activism by putting effort into this. There are also people who think he has enough on his plate with Tesla and SpaceX, and that these are more valuable ways to contribute to society than putzing around with a social media site. They'll put effort into this as well.
it was the 'suppliers' of course
I think there will always be some kind of tension. This forces everyone to agree on a particular choice, which may annoy some people but makes it easier to build on top of it. I think that as a matter of fact emacs is highly opinionated, starting with its very extension language, elisp.
Idk why you think Musk should be treated like someone's shitty Dad trying to skip town. He's a literal billionaire, who could be trying to gain political and economic favors through who he meets. His actions have a very real material effect on the world, just ask any of the (now fired) Twitter employees.
Quite bs points. Downsides only, where are the upsides?

This is from a company which offers an enterprise cert management product. Is this a coincidence?

Come on, this is not hn quality material. Pure marketing.

Discuss pki complexity, ca distribution, non-domain clients where you can’t deliver your custom ca.

Discuss monitoring.

Discuss the governance of your public ca.
Who is going to hold the keys? Are you going to issue sub-cas? Who’s going to handle and monitor those?

Come on. Private CAs are an hassle. Welcome public CAs everywhere!
Yes and no, passwords are an implementation detail.

There’s a reason why bank cards can securely use 4 digit numeric pins but banking websites need much longer passwords.
>Before this, monetization attempts focused on positive endorsements: "promote" a post, "sponsor" a submission, super-upvote with "Reddit Gold". Positive, like the advertising industry. But these were rooted in outdated ideas of what social media is or how it works. Misery is the most powerful force. If you're a FAANG, you have to monetize on the negative engagement to profit on a grand scale.

I don't have anything real to add, I just want to point out that the movie Monsters, Inc had a redemption arc for the monsters, and it was the opposite of this.
In the last few years I've moved away from JavaScript and frameworks in a lot of cases because writing raw HTML and CSS was not cumbersome, involved vastly simpler tooling, and didn't involve other folks needing to learn some obscure framework that may have gone out of fashion. HTML and CSS are here to stay and currently they serve their purpose very well. I don't agree with your take (J|T)SX obscure the HTML whose trench coat it's trying to wear with arbitrary rules that produce unexpected effects. If author HTML is considered a burden, I'm not sure how keeping something XML-like is going to make the ergonomics or readability better.

“Public” generally means publicly traded. Musk’s purchase of Twitter was “taking it private”, meaning it was removed from stock exchanges and all public investors were bought out.

You’re using it to mean publicly owned in the sense of a utility or transit company. Both valid uses but very different in meaning.

Twitter is probably here to stay, for sure. Musk has just made the business decision to focus on the Fox News crowd, which is probably a smart business decision, but a catalyst for this “screeching” you note.

Probably just a miscommunication. The actual improvement is more like 10K times, but this moves from the 'gigahertz range' to the 'petahertz range' which differ by 1e6.

The decoupling caps are there in the schematics shown alongside the symbols for the IC power inputs which is a common way of doing things.

IDK why something as fundamental as decoupling caps should be mentioned here at all though, anyone sufficiently knowledgeable to make use of this information would know that they're required already.
Why would your server get banned though? It's not going to happen to moderated servers. If you pick some small, weird, or insurrection aligned server, that might be an issue. Otherwise, you're just stressing out about something that won't happen.

Ask HN: Industries in need of better consumer protection
Hi all,

I've been debating with friends and wanted to get HN's perspective about the industries for which consumer rights need to be better protected.

While it's tempting to say "all of them" I'd like to solitic your specific examples.

Is it our data?
Is it our behavioural patterns and privacy?
Is it the insurance industry - which exact part?

What about new technologies or companies (besides the obvious giants) that hold great power / monopoly power?

I know it's an open-ended question but I'd really value your thoughts.

TY
It absolutely is problematic. It’s a term adopted primarily by white people to articulate a racial hierarchy that places certain groups as “first among equals.” Most people won’t take issue with it only because they don’t know what it is. (My entire family is “BIPOC” and I don’t think any of them are familiar with the term.)

“People of color” is only modestly better. It’s also a new term adopted primarily by white people. It lumps together groups that have little in common except from the perspective of white people. Virtually no minorities outside of white-dominated spaces (universities, etc.) identify as “people of color.”
When, pray when, would ReactOS go beta? Or am I a dreamy fool to look forward to that day?
> This is a different argument.

Part of it, maybe. But the point about it reducing risk by very little is true.

> Did you see other comments in this thread, for example someone bought a drive online and turned out it still had some backblaze data?

Backblaze data is encrypted, or so they claim. Backblaze is also not hosted on AWS. I've also yet to see any evidence of that claim, though I don't dismiss it.

Data is sharded/spread out over multiple disks, you don't have one disk per customer and have all their data there. You'd get fragments of data. If Backblaze was running their servers on specific disks that were not encrypted, not zeroed, and not destroyed, that'll have to stand for them. Backblaze is hosted in a shared data center/colocation, while AWS has their own data centers with their own personnel. Backblaze is a separate company from AWS.
> I'd also be interested in opinionated writeups/positions.

Ok then! Writing a web server in C is bloody stupid. A web server's performance is mostly limited by concurrency issues and various IO latencies, not by how fast the machine code runs. Thus, there are zero advantages to writing a web server in C and mountains of disadvantages. Save your time and write your web server in a good language, Java, Go, Python, Nim, but not C.
Point 1 doesn't make sense. One doesn't recommend GIMP or ImageMagick to Paint users just because you'll eventually run into limitations as you want more control from your image editor. You can still start to use those things if and when you run into limitations. It's as much work to switch as it is to do the more complicated thing in the first place, so you might as well start with the simple default.

Point 2 is the same as 1: once you want to do something and it turns out you cannot, you can always still go for an internal CA.

Point 3 states the obvious: if you send internal hostnames to third parties, third parties will know of them. Perhaps it could be made more obvious that your domain names will end up in public logs (protip: wildcard), but how many people run publicly reachable services meant to be accessed by systems outside their control (not having a common internal CA, like a friend or business partner) but aren't meant to be used by the general public? This issue isn't specific to internal infrastructures.

Users clicking past certificate warnings makes life as a security tester so much easier that I would say: please use a valid certificate and don't listen to anyone saying you absolutely need to do an internal CA and shouldn't use a public one, if that means you'll put off the task or if there are any end user systems where the CA won't be deployed (e.g. pentesters part of a larger organisation will often have a corporate laptop with Windows and all the policies, and a proper system running *nix for doing their job, which typically wouldn't have the CA).
The PIA codes can only be used on domestic flights, they are not recognized internationally.

(so my point is narrow one, use of the public codes on international flights does not indicate much about what codes are used on US domestic flights)
> Russia-Ukraine war will end.

The interesting part will be how and on what terms...
All platforms other than Usenet started out as a minority of previous platforms... but Twitter is leaking 2-4,000 users an hour while censoring all links to said platform.
Who would ever guess that there would be a massive amount of birds near a river?
And people who host their own email server complain all the time that Google and Microsoft centralized email and set their own (often opaque) rules on what gets delivered.

Therefore, 'Gmail for Mastodon' would seemingly just swing the pendulum back towards centralization.
Here's a fun webserver I wrote 20 years ago. It uses a pool allocator to make allocations easy to track (gives you a lot of the benefits of garbage collection, but from pure C), and it also uses an interesting "inversion of control" (similar to "green threads" or coroutines) allowing the server to be written as straight-line code but actually being implemented using poll.

It actually ran a production site at an old company I worked at until fairly recently.

Twitter is here to stay, like it or not.

This comment won't age well.

I'll be polite and characterize Twitter and FB demographics as, well, different age-wise, than the demographics of InstaSnapTok and communities like them. We've seen how that works out long term with past social media companies. If Twitter wants to be "here to stay", they need to make serious changes to their format. At the very least, video content has to be more naturally integrated. And even that will likely not be enough.
>I wish there was a stable diffusion equivalent for ChatGPT alternative.

I agree, we'll only really start to get an idea of how far we can push this technology when there's a version of it that's available to use as the user sees fit. I wonder if there's any projects like that in the works already?
