I absolutely love reading articles and I spend hours clicking HN links or reading things shared by people I follow on Twitter. But I have zero FOMO. I don’t download and organize music and video out of fear they will disappear from a steaming video. I don’t collect “read later” bookmarks (in fact I don’t use bookmarks for anything, ever). I don’t have a system for writing down notes or thoughts.

So if I have an idea I either act on it now, or remember later, or forget. And that’s fine.

To miss a great article, fail to realize a great idea, forget that great song that disappeared forever on Spotify is fine.

And I’m so thankful for feeling this. I think it’s basically another side of my laziness/ tendency for procrastination that helps me. But I like it. I’ll never be a person with an org mode full of random thoughts, a list of ideas for projects or blog posts, or a library of videos for watching later (or even more pathologically, or things I already watched).

Dungeons and Dragons' New License Tightens Its Grip on Competition
The only real way that these acquisitions make sense is "synergy" (eurgh), Slack just as a normal business isn't worth more to Salesforce than market value if it's just going to run Slack as if it's an independent company, but in order to buy it they had to pay 54% premium to the pre-acquisition share price. So why did they pay 54% more than Slack is worth as an independent company? Well, now they can bundle Slack into their other services and grow Slack that way, and vice-versa they can start integrating Slack into their other CRM services and sell more CRM software into Slack's customers. That's why Slack is worth more to them than it is to the open market. It's the same business model as Microsoft getting Cloud customers by leveraging their office suite etc. Especially in these large businesses it's often an enterprise sales game anyway, and all the real winning/losing happens in the Sales/Marketing and C Suite, not the engineering team anyway.

Semi-related, in LTTP, is this related to the corrupted graphics after performing Death Mountain Descent (performing a glitched room transition between two normally disjoint areas of the dark world map)?

You should not open its port to the internet at large (look up: open resolvers) but yes you can run it anywhere and access over VPN, etc.
I'd wager that's because a vast majority of Arch users are power users and KDE has power-user features.

GNOME's number is buoyed by the numbers of Fedora and Ubuntu (since they use GNOME or variant as their 'default' DE).
> The difference in length between the two rows is 100 times that 1um tolerance.

Doesn't tolerance work both ways? One brick is 1um longer than it should, another one is 1um shorter - in the row of 100 bricks those differences will mostly cancel each other out, won't they?

I too have the same problem.

I’ve always wondered “what if I simply just read them and took a note / maybe linked them to a word or Google doc or something?”

I had a friend who did a similar activity with books. Read a book, took notes on the ‘highest learnings’ and saved each book he finished.

He went back and found an old book with all of his ‘wisdom’ and realized he had totally change since he wrote those things. He didn’t really care about them like he thought his future self might.

Knowledge / link hoarding is vanity.
I did. I am completely not a omg lol guy, but I can become one!
Yeah, crashes from hardware driver are fairly common on Windows. And without any surprise, USB is the most common one (I'd say network devices (Ethernet, Wifi, or BT) are a close second).
My company is not FAANG and definitely doesn't pay the salaries but it is kind of similar.

* Lots of talk about making work visible and self promotion

* Lots of advice to devs that they should promote the business value of their work, cost savings etc. (although this should have really been defined and measured by someone else..)

* Like another commenter alluded to.. I've seen people take a problem and dramatize it. Then when they complete it they bask in the glory of having completed such a challenging problem.

* Lots of politics. You could be doing great work but it doesn't matter unless <main boss> thinks you're doing great work. So in the end people spend their time on powerpoint slides instead of work.

The only difference I see is that if you don't do it.. not much will happen. You'll get an average review but you won't be looked down on or in fear of losing your job.

I would love to see some real world use cases of level 3, both for machine to machine use and for human to machine use.
Hardware: old laptop from ~2012 and some external hard drives (~25W total).

Occasionally used for things like yahoo answers archiving, fishnet (distributed lichess game analysis), random big computations or downloads, and other things I want to run overnight but don't need a big desktop PC for.

Services it more permanently hosts:

- email for me and friends
- websites of friends
- game server (Factorio, OpenArena, custom games I made, etc.)
- SSH -D functioning as a VPN when paypal or some such is being a bitch again
- [web] blog
- [web] grocery list (custom. It syncs between devices, stores recipes, frequently bought items, etc.)
- [web] link shortener / pastebin / file sharing in one
- [web] a data explorer for some game (with associated scraper running every few hours)
- [web] a series tracker to note which episode file we're at because apple tv is garbage (for many reasons) and doesn't remember this
- [web] browser-based latency test thingy, both as plain HTTPS and websocket (they're remarkably similar with HTTPS connection reuse, the main difference being that websocket breaks when your connection is down for 0.1s or your IP changes, so I use websocket more as canary and the HTTPS version for actual latency testing)
- [web] proxies for certain sites, like to speed up the openstreetmap wiki by caching or to remove the 5MB unnecessary javascript from a news website
- data scraper that emails me when the local river does something that interests me (like get close to flooding or drying up or a sudden large change)
- other data scrapers
- Telegram bot
- IRC bouncer
- Gitea
- Restic backup server

And a ton of web things I'm forgetting, including little .php scripts not worth mentioning that I occasionally use to do this or that.

I'm really amazed what I can do with some hardware that would otherwise be thrown away or disappear into an old drawer never to be used again. I could probably host twice as many things and it would still work (CPU and network are basically idle the whole time, only RAM would be getting tight then... I could upgrade to 16 GB DDR3 which is cheap nowadays).
Indeed, but I wouldn't put it past them. lol
The dusty brains of the first backer of Spotify
mine's really vanilla.

a half width 1U supermicro, sitting on a filing cabinet in the office's closet, with 128 gig of ram. I put the free esxi 7 hypervisor on it. This has let me consolidate almost every weekend experiment down to a single host.

On it, I have an RKE2 cluster on ubuntu 22.04 VMs. Mostly this is so I can learn some kubernetes because the environment at work is so locked down, it actually helped me to just have my own.

I host a few other VMs, mostly just as scratch pads for shell/ruby and an MPD server for streaming a private web radio off my NAS music share to a raspberry pi that is always streaming random music into my office. I have a single volume knob amp that lets me just turn it up, or turn it down, and that's all I can do to pick what I am listening to. It's cured my decision fatigue for music, and I really recommend it.

It's way better than 20 years ago, when it was a museum of clutter.
Thanks for the response. I understand that fraud is a very real thing and that crooks will do anything to work the system, but the crooks have very little to lose and the merchants have so much to lose, and Stripe wields a lot of power in both instances, so the power imbalance is very real.

Imagine for example that your personal bank account was closed and the moneys held by the bank and you had no recourse other than emailing a general inbox or talking to customer support who can't do anything other than sympathize. Without that bank account you can lose your house, car, and assets. It's a very scary and very real thing. The bank can say that 99% of the time, the accounts are closed due to fraud, but you're that poor 1% (according to the bank) and therefore you're just a casualty of the process. There are harms from crooks and fraudsters, but there are harms to the individuals too.

The main issue is not that Stripe is working hard to protect itself and its customers, but the merchants feel very powerless in these situations. When it takes a massive effort to get attention, especially if you're small and powerless, you feel that you have no control, and that your issues (which might not be fraudulent) will go unanswered. What can the average, powerless merchant who doesn't have the weight of social media, HN, @dang, or others on their side do when their hard-earned money is being held, locked, or otherwise prevented, and when the cause is not fraudulent, or if the merchant is unaware of that activity? The problem is that accounts are just shut down, moneys are held, and there's no quick or clear communication, with customer support simply saying it's not in their control. It's this feeling of powerlessness that's the issue, regardless of whether or not Stripe is in its rights or doing what it feels is in its and its customers best interests.

What can you do to help empower the powerless merchants when their livelihoods are at stake? Can you provide some way to not instantly assume fraud or malicious intent on behalf of the merchant and provide some quick and direct way for the merchant to feel empowered?

If someone is ramping up a new business, say a subscription business that will go from $0 in January to over $1M in just a few months, that would easily trigger a fraud system, but it's not fraudulent, it's just a business that's seeing success. How can the merchant work with Stripe in advance to provide signals that there's something legit happening?
> I swear apple started thermally gimping them several years before releasing the M1s

I'd certainly hate to have had an Intel Mac that was louder and hotter than it already was.

I think this conspiracy theory could go the other way: they let the thermals go nuts in old intels to make the M1s look better.
I have a box sitting under my router with my old gaming config inside:
Ryzen 5 1600X
32 GB RAM
So i have 12 cores to do basically whatever i want, connected to what is supposed to be 5 Gb/s fiber with a static ipv4.

I virtualize with promox (very happy with it):
- my personal matrix instance (@Themoonisacheese:poggers.website)
- my static homepage (https://poggers.website)
- a minecraft server that rotates between modded and not whenever the crew feels like playing minecraft again
- a discord bot that plays music, since the big ones get taken down
- recently added a Magnetico host. Magnetico is a bittorent DHT explorer that finds publically available torrents and indexes them. This enables me to stop relying on public torrenting sites.

My router (ISP provided, name of the isp is "Free") also does:
- router and firewall jobs
- SMB server, sharing the contents of a 1Tb external disk
- BitTorrent client, downloading to said disk, and that i can control from my phone or my browser. Both are registered as magnet link handlers so it's as seamless as a native client but works from anywhere using my phone.
- Various file servers that i currently have off, but could turn on as needed.
- DNS-level adblock (not pihole, just a built-in thing)

Over the years i have added and taken down services, such as a ShareX image host because i didn't use it, and various game servers that we no longer play. Notice also the lack of monitoring at all. I'm a sysadmin by day, so i'm familiar with monitoring tools, but i havent felt the need. Some day i might deploy nagios+thruk for the fun of it. Notice also the lack of DNS. I have found at this size i am able to recall IPs for everything that matters. Logins are also set in my VM templates and are standardized, so i don't use a central login solution.

In service terms

- p.v. and home automation, suffering with Home Assistant and it's design, but since I found nothing better (and few even worse)... So far it serve as a mere web dashboard with few controls and automation, that is limited to regulate hot water heating, for sanitary and home heating usages and limited car charging, in more practical terms just switch-toggling via Shelly Pro 2/Raspi Zero GPIO etc;

- my mail system, local mirror of a hosted one (classic IMAPs/SMTPs on my domain) with mere storage in maildirs, indexed with notmuch, synced to few Emacs/EXWM desktops via muchsync over ssh, I plan for a web frontend (MailPie or Modoboa or Roundcube undecided so far) but done nothing more than few experiments so far;

- a limited prototype of home surveillance and communication, few cams and a netatmo dorbell. I plan to have a real SIP/RTP entryphone but all I found on sale are simply absurdly priced (700+€) and more cam and sensors but so far I can just take a look from remote without cloud crap in between;

- raw file sharing (webdav), NexClound and so on are simply monster in my sysadmin vision to be useful for my needs... I drop files individually in a cache like tree and share links as needed;

- tmate terminal servers to support sporadically some family/friends who are behind NAT when a full remote desktop is too much/not available;

- a small PBX wrapping a "commercial/physical" one simply because find a PCIe asterisk card is equally expensive and also hard, while my ISP do not offer VoIP settings forcing me to pickup it's router FXO...

- a TT-RSS istance for my feeds, I use them normally on deskop but decide to move the instance to the serve for casual on-the-go usage;

- a mere ssh + fwknop shell to access other stuff if needed from remote;

- home backup.

In hw terms a single personally assembled 4U small Celeron based machine with 8Gb ram and 4 sata ssd storage. I have a spare mobo+cpu and I plan to buy a new machine leaving the other as a real ready spare. No real redundancies so far but also no real downtime risks...
Motorcycles are unavoidably far more dangerous than cars, that's the reason it's not seriously considered in nations that are rich enough to use cars. I used to ride. Had a major crash and got lucky.

Excellent. GitHub is in my opinion crossing a whole pile of lines here that should not have been crossed without the authors explicit permission, regardless of the utility of the tool they built. Copyright is not something that can be signed over by a terms-of-use change of a hosting provider, the expectation is that your host does not automatically claim the rights to anything that you store there.

Such projects should always be opt-in, not just because it is the law but also because it is common sense and the right thing to do from an ethical perspective.

From some LIRs you can get an ASN + a /40 for life for $50. And even less if they decide to do a sale.

And the /40 would be an actual "ASSIGNED-BY-LIR" sub-allocation that you could also sub-allocate as you see fit.

This seems to ignore the widely repeated claim that GitHub's terms of service explicitly grant them a license beyond the actual open source license attached to the code and thus transfer the burden of liability to the uploader when it comes to code they can not control the licensing of.

So either this is about code authored by people who did not use GitHub (in which case GitHub would be immediately liable, though they could try to sue whoever uploaded that code to GitHub for damages) or it's going to have to argue that the terms of service can't smuggle in a provision that effectively sidesteps even the most permissive open source licenses.

OP's condition is likely very common among hn readership. Looked at positively, it is indicative of a desire to remain abreast of the very fast moving technology curve on various fronts. The issue is, in part, our bandwidth limitation.

Tools may help to some extent and the heavy lifting bits are already done by others (e.g. https://typeset.io/). A simple browser extension could use such services and provide a more compact information package to consume. And a bit later down the line, we'll likely can train AI to learn our informational preferences (and/or goals) and further package and curate 'what you need to read', etc.

a p.s.

After playing with GPT-3, diving a bit into the LLMs (to understand the magic), the thought occurred that if a primitive information processing network -- primitive compared to the one we have in our cranium -- can do this, and this magic is mainly and principally due to massive data consumption, then 'read everything you can get your hands on' is a sensible imperative.
Default, I think.
> The economic models assume consumers have more power than they do.

That is a fair assessment. But what is the cause of it? What I am saying is we need better models. Better theory.

> It's easier for industry to convince (or force) people that they want (or have to take) what they produce, rather than produce what people want.

And what is the cause of the bandwagoning? I generally do not think it is a case of industry wide collusion (though in some cases it might be). Why is a company going the opposite direction of a trend and marketing that difference a somewhat rare phenomenon? At least partially, I think the cause is marketing driven development. But that still doesn't explain why marketing departments are shy to market going against a trend. It's as if marketing departments of companies buy into the marketing of the trendy company.

How many smartphone companies actively advertise they still have phone jacks? How many car companies actively advertise they are still using physical buttons? They could but they don't. Samsung used to make fun of Apple in their ads but even they became apathetic. Apple used to make fun of the rest of the industry with their Mac vs PC ads. Sony could easily make an ad showing how a DJ takes their Sony phone and plugs it in literally everywhere using the jack to play music to a crowd.

> The slippery slope here is that all apps will get a click through that is ultimately ignored by the user.

The key part is that the click-through should give you an option to decline, and the GDPR mandates that you can't use dark patterns or any other methods to sway the choice either way, so it should be as easy to decline than to accept. That seems good.

Yes. Maybe there's a sense of duty and reciprocity involved, since the canary is the one saving miners' lives.
