That wasn't the intent of my comment at all. I don't hate k8s - I've never used it beyond experimental fiddling. I'm sure if I used it at work all day I would love it.

I'm trying to grapple with the fact that k8s is apparently ultra popular technology, yet every time I try to read up on it or start using it, it quickly turns into a suck fest in terms of learning curve and complexity. So my conclusion is that the people using it "for fun" must have acquired a taste for it first by using it all day at work and I wanted to see if anyone who acquired the taste might chime in as to what made them see the light.
Corporate publishers are probably feeling the burn of the enshittifcation of Medium and then Twitter, and annoyance from the Instagram ad volume and Threads uncertainty. I bet they would welcome an something more boring like a Wordpress blog that was totally under their control. The critical part that's missing is an easy way for end users to subscribe (e.g. a popular/easy RSS/Atom/feed reader standalone product or feature).
This feels almost analogous to asking an LLM to name the 55th president of the united states.
Yeah, I didn’t mean to suggest that country-sorts necessarily become totally numb to animal deaths of all kinds, and certainly not that they aren’t bothered by animal suffering, just that their ability to cope with it seems to be far better-developed, generally. There’s a difference of attitudes & culture, and simply having more exposure to animal death probably plays a role. Doesn’t mean they’re not sad when their favorite hound dies, or whatever, or don’t feel bad for a calf caught in barbed wire.
An average household in Croatia will need 3-5MWh per year, and this plant would yield 140GWh. Seems like the estimate of 10k households is actually conservative and might factor in public facilities.

Boox Palma review: A phone-shaped e-reader
The horror stories of Google support, across all of their products, is enough for me to never trust GCP. Even if someone told me today "GCP is the exception, they have great support" I probably wouldn't care - they are so organizationally incapable of providing good support that, even if they did so today, I wouldn't believe that it could last.

You can't MITM a passkey, you can MITM a TOTP challenge.

That is, passkeys cannot be phished. The only way to get into my passkey protected account is to physically gain access to my passkey device, which requires both physical access to the device, and a second factor like a face/fingperprint or PIN/password.

Additionally, the TOTP secret can be copied, while today passkeys don't allow that either.
WordPress is much easier to self host but much worse if you try to use it as social media. Most people who use Mastodon will want some Twitter-like experience. I don't think WordPress articles are going to replace toots any time soon.

On the other hand, Tumblr is supposedly working on ActivityPub integration, and that could become a major Fediverse player with the ability to replace Mastodon.

I use GCP, and it's hard for me to imagine something simpler than docker containers in Cloud Run which works for most of my use cases.
Individual machine failure is not likely, but we're hypothesizing the need for multiple shards for high performance. So now we have more machines and so the probability of failure increases. So we need to add replication, but then we need to deal with data getting out of sync, etc.... As others have mentioned though, these issues only really become important at a certain scale.
2) Being restricted to pure functions is not actually much of a restriction at all. Any impure input can be trivially replaced with parameterization over values representing that input and any impure output can be trivially replaced by including state updates or the updated state in the return value. Then your entire codebase can be entirely pure and you can let the language runtime or the compiler deal with that pure data at the very top level of the program, performing the IO as needed. This may be slightly more inconvenient than allowing impurity, but not enough that it would be by any means infeasible, and languages like Haskell have facilities which narrow the gap even further, so it's not much of a restriction at all.
It's a shame the people who settled the islands of the Pacific, the Caribbean, etc thousands of years ago didn't have written language. The stories they could tell!

Internet libraries are accessible to those with access to the internet, which happens to be just one of many services offered by your local library! When my laptop was stolen I accessed the internet exclusively through a local library for about a year. I'd go most days and play League of Legends until they kicked me out. Good times!

> If the purpose is finding books and information and obtaining it, comparing a physical library to online libraries is like saying it is better to eat using your feet instead of with utensils.

There's your issue! Libraries have much broader scope than just physical books. They offer free childcare, classes and meetups, digital lending (also free). If you're struggling to find something on the internet, an actual human is there to help! They can even offer suggestions on books or websites tailored specifically to you, and they won't collect and sell your personal info to do so!

The internet is great, I spend a lot of time here, but libraries are great too!
Great idea!

Observability (AKA, debug/proxy/statistics/logging/visualization layer) -- for LLM's (AKA Chat AI's)...

Hmmm, you know, I would love something for ChatGPT (and other AI chatbots) -- where you could open a second tab or window -- and see (and potentially interact with) debug info and statistics from prompts given to that AI in its main input window, in realtime...

Sort of like what Unix's STDERR is for programs running on Unix -- but an "AI STDERR" AKA debug channel, for AI's...

I'm guessing (but not knowing) that in the future, there will be standards defined for debug interfaces to AI's, standards defined for the data formats and protocols traversing those interfaces, and standards defined for such things as error, warning, hint, and informational messages...

Oh sure, a given AI company could pick a series of their own interfaces, data protocols and how to interpret that data.

But if so, that "AI debug interface" -- wouldn't be universal.

Of course, on the flip side, if a universal "AI debug interface" were ever established, perhaps such a thing would eventually suffer from the complexities, over-engineering and bloatedness that plague many "designed-by-committee" standards in today's world.

So, it will be interesting to see what the future holds...

To take an Elon Musk quote and twist it around (basically abuse it! <g>):

"Proper engineering of future designed-by-committee standards with respect to AI interfaces and protocols is NOT guaranteed -- but excitement is!"

:-) <g> :-)

Anyway, with respect to the main subject/article/authors, it's a very interesting and future-thinking idea what you're doing, you're breaking new ground, and I wish you all of the future success with your company, business, product and product ideas!

Smlight SLZB-07 – A low-cost, compact Zigbee 3.0 USB adapter
I’ve had a lot of fun over the years with a 424 mk1, which I picked up at a garage sale for very little, probably 20 years ago.

I recently used it again for a period, and this time invested in some other analogue gear, preamp, decent mic, few reverb and delay effects, compressor.

There was something about the limitations that just made it more fun. And the simplicity of having just a few pieces of gear to experiment with.

It’s unfortunate that they’ve become such expensive items to buy. I’d never pay $1000 for one, which they seem to go for on reverb.
Parts, yes. In reference to the specifics mentioned in here though, those services run on Infra Spanner, not Cloud Spanner, but they're the same stack. The main reason things like Gmail, Ads, etc haven't swapped into GCP is because of the internal tooling that's built up around the infra spanner relating to those services specific to Google that don't make sense in Cloud Spanner.
From my understanding they don't dogfood a lot of gcp products internally. That's how you end up with janky integrations between their products. It's really frustrating at times to see their cloud architects pitch some grouping of technologies that you should use to find out the integrations aren't well tested at scale. For example, pushing for pubsub to be used with dataflow for near real time processing just to figure out at scale global pubsub has high latency, above 1 minute sometimes 5 minutes, on 1% of messages at scale.
I miss being able to say "re" (re-hi or re-hello) instead of WB (welcome back).

Wow, almost content-free presentation! How obnoxious!

This wasn't the first time Gmail has replaced the storage backend in-flight. The last time, around 2011, they didn't hype it up, they called it "a storage software update" in public comms. And that other migration is the origin of the term "spannacle", because during that migration the accounts that resisted moving from [[redacted]] to [[redacted]] we called barnacles.

If you're looking for something but more production ready, Authelia seems like a good option. Vouch and oauth2-proxy are even simpler but more specific in what they do. If you can provide more details of what you're trying to accomplish I might be able to give more specific advice.
I'd like to see a study such as that described but not limited to Americans. See what people experience when you cut across cultures and whatever expectations of what death is supposed to be like are less similar.

My wife had a near-death experience about seven years back and she described it to me later, saying there was indeed a tunnel, but it was filled with cartoon Satans holding dildos and our cat was there beckoning her to come. It seems like this is almost a kind of Rorschach test of whether you're a Christian, a foxhole atheist who deep down wants there to be a Christian-like afterlife, or an honest-to-god true nonbeliever.

It also recalls to me the first time I had a true night error experience. I'd been tremendously into UFO lore and alien abduction scenarios as a teenager thanks to the X-Files, so had read up so much on some of the possible explanations that I'd had it drilled into me by then that night terrors were one possible explanation, and probably similarly for experiences people had of things like succubi in centuries past. Then when it happened to me, I did indeed wake up totally paralyzed and my bed was surrounded by ghostly alien-looking figures. But I'd read so much about it at that point that I knew exactly what was happening, knew it wasn't really aliens, and didn't even really find it scary so much as frustrating because I could neither move nor fully wake up.
I'd love for that to be true, but social media has been trending away from blog-type textual posts for a long time. Last stat I saw, wordpress.com published around 77 million posts per month. I think twitter needs less than 4 hours to hit 77 million tweets.

Also, the brand is in really bad shape. Super outdated and stale. I know a lot of people wish it didn't, but that kind of thing really matters when you're trying to get lots of people to think your product is worth investing time into.

I'm aware of those frankly tragic episodes. But ask yourself this: is the problem the fact that simply misinfo was put on FB or the fact that there wasn't enough counter-balancing information available? I'm not trying to be sarcastic or downplay the situation, but the fact is that a lot of places suffer "from misinfo" because the only info available is misinfo. The human mind is inherently a curious mind. And as i've stated in my first comment, people tend to follow info from trains of thought that make sense(are logical)[yes, even if we're talking about religion/etc.): the contents of the information matters, how cohesive it is, how it attacks the false claims. I would argue that a big lie does not even need a "big truth" to be debunked, it only needs a well-thought question to instill the skepticism required for the lie to not be taken as plain truth.

Closing thoughts: in third-world regions: the ones you've mentioned, russia, "china"(on the freedom of information/liberty front), etc. the issue of misinformation is not really that misinformation exists; but actually that it is mainly the only information that exists, and there's not enough balancing "truth"/skepticism. You might think i'm silly or that i'm arguing for misinfo(that wouldn't suit me by the way), but I live in an ex-communist country: I've had some relative contact on how the centralized government used to push actual misinformation and how people took it as blind truth. After the said government(s) failed, people usually became more skeptical about all kinds of information(a good thing to do). Those people are the generation of my parents for example, a dying breed, and it should not come as a surprise that every subsequent generation that came after and took all news as "facts" became usually dumber, less rational, and more naive.
Out-of-body experiences are real. My wife had one. Because of special circumstances I am convinced that she didn't know about them. It was an unknown and completely new thing for her. When I told her that some people also experienced out-of-body, she was stunned.

I came to the realisation that science has limits. I have the hypothesis that the set of measurable effects is smaller than the set of all true things.

In other words: Scientific experiments about some things are inconclusive or just limited to what is scientifically measurable. The world is larger than that.
Any good reasons why they don't put it on get up to get many more contributions?
Within a VLAN, sure, but that is why you should use separate VLANs. Because when you use the same one, you explicitly say: I want those devices to be able to connect to each other.

I just use two.

One for IoT, guest WiFi, etc.

And one for our server, laptops/PC, and mobile devices.

But ideally I'd fine grain it further.
I don't see the game in my library anymore, so I guess I ended up doing that.

My concern is really of a more technical nature: 2G-5G are somewhat "chatty" on their signalling channels, as far as I understand.

Even when a given network does not support your operator/SIM card, your device will attempt to connect to it at least once (and hopefully cache the resulting rejection permanently and not keep trying in a loop).

But in case your device does support the satellite-based service (e.g. as a T-Mobile customer in the US), it would then attach to the satellite network if no terrestrial service is available and send periodic location updates etc.

That's normally not a problem, since cell sizes on earth are limited (either by geometry/physics or intentionally by network capacity planning), and by extension also the ratio of signalling chatter per cell.

I'm just not sure if unmodified LTE clients can be convinced to be less chatty only from the network side.
Inkscape is good for many things, but not for painting.
You would need a server application of some kind for two things: sending your new posts out as activities to your followers, and accepting activities (at least Follow) from the outside world. That application would also need somewhere to store the list of followers and their inboxes (endpoints where you send activities). That's basically it. The actor object itself can be a static file, just don't change its URL.

I encourage you to try building your own minimal ActivityPub server — here's a tutorial to get you started: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/how-to-implement-a-bas...

The sending and receiving parts aren't required to run on the same machine. You can send activities from your laptop, but the receiving side needs to be on a server with a public IP, a domain, HTTPS and all that.
It’s sad that racking and maintaining your own physical hardware is becoming such a lost art… I appreciate the up-front simplicity of cloud offerings as much as anyone, but there’s something to be said for owning your own hardware and avoiding the continual rent payments you’re sending the cloud providers.

The wisdom is that cloud providers are better at infra than you, and that the economies of scale make it better to piggy back on what they’re doing, but… AWS is the most profitable part of Amazon for a reason. They’re overcharging you.

Hacker News is not the best crowd for something like this. Everyone here most likely already has their own optimized workflow for something like this, including me.

This is probably best suited for digital creative types who use Windows and Mac and aren't comfortable with the terminal. Animators, illustrators, video editors, 3d artists, music producers, youtubers, streamers, etc.

It's not clear to me that that second group wants something like this. To be fair, from your marketing I have no idea what your software does and I doubt that group would either. I get that you're trying to communicate this is a "universal" file experience but what does that mean in concrete terms? Users shouldn't have to install your software to understand what it does. I also don't see them caring that this is open source or works on Linux.

At this stage I would totally refresh the marketing and optimize it for that second group. Work with a PR person or marketing expert that understands how to concretely and efficiently communicate the value of what you are building to that second group. I would also take down the source repos and discontinue the Linux version (or keep it private for now, until there is demand) to save your team effort at this super early stage.

Good luck
Every time this comes up, I want to remind you that the world today is much better overall compared to decades ago. It is a much safer world in general and people are usually better off (overall). So it is not all doom and gloom as you think it is. Just different times with different challenges. I would rather live now than say 100 years ago. or even 50 years ago.
