I self host a couple things, but if I had to choose only one, it’d be this. So far the project strikes a great balance of stability (zero issues over two years now) and new features (ownership concept already available, allowing for multiple accounts in a pretty intuitive way).

I’ve killed my instance twice now and had to restore from backup, which is also surprisingly pleasant to do. Their document exporter makes that possible. Having everything in a single JSON and otherwise just the raw PDFs makes a ton of sense and has me confident my documents are “just there” and moving to a different system would be feasible.
Quite literally last week I was randomly watching The Today Show (mainstream Australian breakfast television) and I couldn't believe what I just saw within the space of 5 minutes.

It was the build up to the AFL grand final and there was a presenter on a football field with kids kicking footballs in the background.

Anyway, he introduces the segment and it turns out it's a paid promotion for Shell. The show then cuts to a 2 minute promotional video for Shell fuel.

Once the promo ends, he tells the kids that whoever kicks a goal gets a $1000 petrol voucher, as he waves a stack of these petrol vouchers in front of the camera.

I don't get easily offended, but I've honestly never seen anything more disgusting in my entire life.

Worse than that: running a home honeypot puts significant risk that malicious activity would be traced to you.

You would get seriously yelled at by my team if you did this in my company.

The corporate scanner are not there for fun or because security loves to do scans. They are there exactly because they are random wannabe sysadmins who will plug in a box that ends up compromised.

A scanner may help to locate it and possibly warn about the issue. And only maybe.

Do not make life difficult for people who already have they hands full of constant vulnerabilities, fighting corporate crap and being the bad guys because they audit stuff.

We have a life too.
I use LLM's daily but this is, well, refreshing.
There was a report posted on HN months ago showing the proportion of fraudulent vs legitimate activities on Tor vs non-Tor across a pool of websites. Tor users were (slightly, IIRC) more likely to be malicious, but they represented a drop in the bucket against all malicious users. Maybe some sites that do block Tor might be seeing different proportions, I'd wager most of them do it because Tor == bad for most people.

I'll add the source when I find it.
> Succumbing to pressure from big customers

I'd love to hear how folks here handle this. What systems have you used to decide that either did or did not work?

Where I am, we built things into our product for one of our three largest enterprise customers that no one else uses. And some of that work isn't aligned with the core product and strategy.

Yet, the contract with that customer is among our largest and also covers that customer's other usage that IS aligned with our core product.

I joined the company in the year after that contract closed. I look back at the decision (that I didn't make) and think that it completely distracted the company and product (and still does, just less).

But in that moment, would I have said no that particular non-aligned use-case, and potentially walked away from the $? We're talking about a $1M+ annual deal. I don't know!
That is what I see as well. Instead of kids picking up new video games, it is more like trey cycle through old ones - Minecraft, Fortnite, Apex, etc.
I've never really delved into wordpress deeply; but it feels like the ecosystem is fragmented, lacks any standards and is littered with proprietary plugins that are no longer supported by the authors; and create conflicts with other plug-ins on the installation.

If you care more about development experience than users, that's fine, but in the case of SPA, JS frameworks will be faster and lighter.

For me the problem with TypeScript is not the language, JS/TS are fine for me, the problem is the entire toolchain - NodeJS, all the node_modules, configuration files, the need to compile.

Maybe Svelte, where they got rid of TypeScript and the types are now in JSDoc, could be a compromise.
Tinfoil moment, there is genuine discussion and protest from Gen Z grassroots to hit them where it hurts, i.e. stop subsidies and tax breaks for Oil & Gas.

Both BP and Shell are likely aware of this and are now trying to target public transport advertisement and online communities, where they think they will probably win over Gen Z.
But are these things enough to warrant me a full switch of programming language and ecosystem? Not for me.

- I don’t think this is really that big of a deal.

- Using streams is actually preferred so you don’t cause a performance nightmare and kotlin you has to use asSequence anyway.

- I thought checked error handling was all the rage nowadays?

- Mutability is absolutely fine if you’re not going over a thread boundary.
At that point just stop watching those creators, or at least those specific videos

"even though heat record after heat record is broken."

It's not really strange that people don't get that argument though right? Since the heat records are only a few 100 years old at most.

If "climate change is real and a problem, because weather heat records" is supposed to be a logical narrative then I can totally understand that people don't follow that logic and just tune out.

I trust the science about global warming, but the logic in those papers is very very far from "climate change is real and a problem, because weather heat records".

I think you can look beyond studies and say if teachers can only afford used pinto's, and have to use their own money for school supplies, that maybe some more money would help.

If there are some heavily funded schools that perform badly, that isn't an argument that kids in underfunded schools should go hungry.

These studies really cherry pick scenarios to advance the agenda that we should get rid of public schools so we can have private religious schools.

I cannot understand, seriously, how we could have built a system where you have to have French documents in order to identify yourself to various services.

A friend's of mine dad is Polish. He is retired and worked for years in France. Now he cannot access all of his retirement data because some sites require France Connect and he does not have any French papers anymore.

When asked about that, France Connect's support basically replied "fuck you" (in French).

There must be thousands of people in his situation and yet, nobody cares.
I agree with this. Humans and AIs both need grounding in reality or we go crazy.

Unfortunately, our society does not understand this. If we did, we would value the opinions of auto mechanics far more than those of lawyers.

That I do not need consumer grade performance with the people I employ. Sucks but is true for internal apps.
A buffer is just a logical place in the address space, whereas a cache is a physical device that uses a relatively small amount of fast but costly technology to allow a much larger amount of cheaper, slower memory to just seem faster. I say "seem", because the trick only works by taking advantage of locality of reference

I once got into a shouting match with one of the founders of this company. In the middle of the argument, he said to me, quote, “you civil libertarian/liberty types are going to lose."

During the same conversation, he also implied that people who cared about liberty and privacy were dinosaurs. And companies like his were Chicxulub impactor.

I hope that in a few years, I can confidently say that he's wrong.
Fossil fuels are irreplaceable for what they offer at the price they ask.

Don’t ask the West. Ask India that had the choice to leapfrog fossil fuels and be energy independent, at higher cost.

People don’t care about our opinions. They want the cheapest options.

The only way to transition out of fossils for energy, is to make the alternatives cheaper and easily accessible. US transitioned from coal to gas within 10 years when the economics became favorable.
Looking through the setup, this seems like an insane way to package an application for users to install: https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/setup

The documentation itself is so full of implementation details that, as someone who is interested in the concept of this, I'm scared off even trying to setup and use this

The project would be much more approachable if there was a simple native installer. My parents could also benefit from this but there's no way they would ever even understand how to install this, much less troubleshoot docker things.
ROCm is great. We were able to get run and finetune LLMs on AMD Instincts with parity to NVIDIA A100s - and built an SDK that’s as easy to use as HuggingFace or easier (Lamini). Or at the very least, our designer is able to finetune/train the latest LLMs on them like Llama 2 - 70B and Mistral 7B with ease. The ROCm library isn’t as easy to use as CUDA because as another poster said, the ecosystem was built around CUDA. For example, it’s even called “.cuda()” in PyTorch to put a model on a GPU, when in reality you’d use it for an AMD GPU too.

I read about a paper[1] a while back, it was a rather unpleasant animal study in cats. Using two kittens, one was free to look around, but the other they immobilised in some way, and made it see what the other kitten saw as it looked around. They discovered the immobilised kitten's visual processing did not develop normally whereas the mobile kitten's did, suggesting that it's not just the sensory input, but it being feedback to some internal agency within the brain.

I suspect the same thing would be true for attempts to develop AGI by giving them an audio-visual copy of a human's environment growing up: that internal state driving (and getting feedback from) the action to investigate/interact with the world is key.

I've been using DEVONThink for just this for a few years, and it's very good at it. However, it's macOS only and has far more features than I need (simple searching, tagging, and organization). I tried paperless a year ago and the search and rendering was far too slow, and many docs just gave obscure errors. Perhaps it's time to give it another shot. I'd love to have something on Linux that could handle my large repository of documents.

Yeah, I was looking at the docs for this and it looks like a somewhat more featureful version of what I’ve stuck together.

How does it handle when you have digital documents you want to store (a la google drive or similar)?
Unfortunately there is currently no way to remove the X-Resolved-to header

It sounds like the wrong people are looking into this. Most MTA's have a way to drop a header. To your point this is something they could/should do on their outbound MTA's. In Postfix this would be done in /etc/postfix/header_checks and might look something like

/^X-Resolved-to:.*/ IGNORE

All outbound email servers sending to the general internet should absolutely drop all headers that contain internal routing and infrastructure information. If it's important for auditing or debugging it can simply be logged in syslog, ELK or whatever logging mechanism of their choice is preferred. If their outbound servers do not support this then this should be a feature request. Postfix also has content filters but I like the flexibility of header and body checks.

# Log to syslog
/^X-Resolved-to:.*/ WARN

# then drop
/^X-Resolved-to:.*/ IGNORE

I'm still not sure what you want to express. The CEO of MZLA technologies is appointed by, and reports to the Mozilla board of directors. Of course the Mozilla Foundation has influence on the Thunderbird project. Moreover, the employees of MZLA join Mozilla's yearly "all-hands", together with everyone else working for Mozilla. The progress of the Thunderbird project is reported at Mozilla monthly internal meetings. I have a hard time understanding what else you'd expect to call the relationship "not ceremonial". MZLA Technologies and the Mozilla Corporation are different, but their relationship to the foundation is rather similar.
I've done something similar although I had to jump through a few hoops to get it to work.

I have a Fujitsu ScanSnap which is one of those feed-through scanners. I have it hooked up to a Raspberry Pi which listens for the button press on the scanner. You press the button, the paper feeds through the scanner and once it has finished the scan a script runs to collate everything into a PDF and drops the result onto a Samba share that's running on the box where paperless-ngx is.

It's pretty neat and feels seamless. The worst part was dealing with SANE and finding linux drivers for my scanner.

At first they look a bit odd, but after a week they were almost invisible, turns out the brain is really good at hiding things we don't care to see. They are a bit of a pain to install but it is well worth the effort.
Corollary: The type of designer who likes to build space simulations also has little ability to self-regulate feature inclusion.

Solution: Never let such a designer run a project themselves, and instead pair them with a practical and empowered project manager.
Google Fi is free?
The article is suspiciously lacking in actual concrete examples. I'm not an expert here, but I can't actually think of a single historical example of a hack that was targeted at "normal people" and also relied on unpatched vulnerabilities in old iPhones. Those sort of attacks happen all the time for desktops/routers/etc resulting in worms and botnets, but my suspicion is that the number of old iPhones mostly makes them not worth developing and deploying exploits for, much like how Linux has less malware than Windows.

If anyone has a counterexample (software virus, for iPhone, reliant on vulnerabilities that were patched in the latest iOS at the time the exploit was in use, ideally not by a nation state) I'd definitely be interested to hear about it.
I like it. Fight fire with fire. Also every legitimate photo should be AI enhanced so that it is impossible for the creeps to tell real photos from generated ones.
