Self-Signed locally trusted certificates with cert-manager
Hello folks!

Thought I'd share some insights in how I set up test frameworks using cert-manager for generating self-signed certificates. And then making them locally trusted using mkcert for easy install.

I think it's neat, but it does have its caveats as everything I suppose. :)

Thanks!
Yet another scar on Tesla's public image. For context I'm alluding to recent reports of extremely high injury rates in Tesla's German factories, rumours about Chinese factory conditions.

[Cynical] Might be beneficial to outsource the this type of dirty work to subsidiaries or subcontractors, the way Apple offloads to Foxcon?

Accelerating the switch to NACS on the car side won't work. The unspoken part of "automakers standardize on NACS" is the update to the Superchargers themselves. The signaling is basically CCS, not the legacy Tesla protocol.
Gear Acquisition Syndrome is tied to compulsive buying and hording, both are recognized illnesses (in ICD-11).

Of course, just buying an oscilloscope in the course of learning electronics is not getting you in psychiatry. I mean, it is part of the basic toolkit, plus, you are actually using it. But if you start buying 5 different soldering irons with 10 different types of solder, every kind of pliers known to man, some very specific tool for some obscure use case you don't have, etc... it can negatively impact your quality of life, for example because of the clutter.
Well, that’s where we started with them (PRINT “HELLO”), so it’s nice to see we’ve come full circle.

Ok, but that's not the competing option here. However good being a bodhisattva is, being a bodhisattva and saving someone from kidney failure is even better. And most people, of course, aren't going to become bodhisattvas at all: we're only choosing between being ordinary flawed people... and ordinary flawed people who also saved someone from kidney failure.
Almost certainly wouldn't be an issue. There's a huge amount of plasticity in embodiment. Think about how easily we can control videogame avatars of many physical forms, or adapt ourselves to a musical instrument, or even learn 'pilot' an artificial limb.
Evolution doesn't imply a cause to every attribute. Totally plausible that having one kidney is advantageous, our bodies have general bilateral symmetry of organs, there is no strong selection pressure against having that symmetry result in two kidneys, hence we have two. Most of your DNA is "non-functional". Evolution does not have a plan.
> I was given them from various places

Mmm. That does remind me of the quite nice social interaction some types of collecting gives. For example, a neighbour was a thimble collector so whenever visiting somewhere, we would look for a thimble. It gave us some entertainment as a tourist, like a treasure hunt, and then the nice moment to give it to the neighbour and show we were thinking of them while away.

It can go wrong though. I've known a few friends who have become associated with "a thing" because their family saw they owned one of "the thing" and now it's the exclusive theme of all presents but they don't have the heart to correct them and reveal all their presents were unwanted!

It may pick up when EU join? I think there's room for a better, less toxic twitter. Seriously, 15 min on Twitter really drags my morale down. So much negativity and hate. There are people who are interesting to follow but they are buried in an ocean of garbage. I don't know how otherwise smart people would spend so much that on that platform. My hope is that threads manage to provide a better culture, if it's even possible with this format. I like what HN has achieved in terms of moderation. I wonder if this could be replicated at Twitter scale, probably at the price of banning certain topics.

The person responsible is the one who pulls the trigger. If a murderer runs into a crowd of people it wouldn't be OK for the police to just mow down those people to catch them. And that's an exact analogy here, just because a terrorist hides within a community does not mean you have any kind of moral justification for killing with impunity. Blame the community? Sure, does that blame extend to the kids growing up in that community who know nothing about what's going on. No, it doesn't.
I'm going to put it out there..... if I had a trillion dollar company or whatever facebook is, then I think I would have done a better job getting Threads built.

And now its built, I'd have done a better job advertising and marketing it.

Let me ask you - when the latest Mission Impossible movie came out, when the latest Spiderman movie came out, did you see ads absolutely fucking everywhere? Yes you did - bus stops, TV, YouTube - everywhere you turned, that message was being sold to you. When the latest Apple phone came out, were you even able to escape the Apple advertising on radio, TV, YouTube, magazines, whatever? No, you were not able to escape.

Let me ask you - how many slick, stylish, compelling ads have you seen for Threads? Is the answer "absolutely everywhere", or is the answer "nowhere, never, none"? Or is the answer "damn facebook is pushing Threads down my throat".

The incompetence firstly of the technical build then secondly of the marketing is startling.

The conclusion has to be either facebook genuinely doesn't care about Threads, it's just a distraction from trying to make the metaverse, OR they genuinely care but they genuinely have no idea what they are doing, despite having all the money in the world.

I say I'd be better at making Threads than Zuckerberg because almost anyone would be better - for gods sake all you need to do is picj up the phone to the top ad agencies and tell them to pitch for a $500M adverting spend. It's not rocket science.

As someone "extremely online" I find that Reddit, Threads, Twitter all post a lot of regurgitated or previously posted information. It's nice the HN prefers calling that out, either w/ a "previous discussion:" comment, or pointing out the year, i.e (2018) in the title.

An obvious answer would be PL/Python, though is not available on most managed services because they prefer to prevent file system access. An exception is https://docs.crunchybridge.com/extensions-and-languages/pyth...

On the other hand, it's quite useful to have a pure SQL cron that cannot do everything, but can run safely in managed services or under a restricted database user. That's probably one of the reasons why practically every managed PostgreSQL service offers pg_cron. Doing more things, like running shell scripts, might limit its usefulness.
> “What incredible inconvenience are we trying to solve?”

If reducing traffic death would be a priority, we could reduce the speed limit (would also help with resource consumption and climate change). We could also have smart phones go into sleep when in motion. That's a trivial technical problem. A much bigger challenge would be to allow smart phone usage for passengers while in moving vehicles, but until that is solved, cry me a river. Using a smart phone in a moving vehicle isn't a god-given right.

"misunderstood the concept" but rather found it wanting and moved the
discussion on. The focus was your precis of the term "hinternet" which
I found very interesting and so addressed.

Where it landed (perhaps thanks to TeMPOraL) was actually quite
exciting in my opinion, that, in the words of The Jam:

"the public wants what the public gets."

That's something different from the tired old "internet ain't what it
used to be!" trope. Isn't it? : That the entire "market theory" of the
internet (and maybe technology in general) is mostly myth.

> real communism has clearly never been tried!

Not sure I follow how a vibrant, diverse, bottom-up, self-governed

windmills to tilt at too.
That's quite bad kind of reasoning. Using something from time to time in a context is different than using something all the time, so it should give different reactions.
Complaining? What do they want: you only calling when you need something from them?

A shame that article dismissed this so easily - doesn't paint a good picture on the author and makes me question what else did the author skim over.
Satire or serious? Often hard to know. :-/

If not satire: especially in the early internet, sites were university hosted. It was not uncommon for a site to live at, for instance, http://galadriel.mathdept.universityname.tld

The web server could either be a forgotten SUN pizzabox in a closet somewhere, or the new-fangled http 1.1 thing where you could have several domains on the same server! Crazy, I know!

It was not uncommon for these early relics to just chug along unatteneded for years after anyone even know what they were for, and no one cared much either.

If a DNS record disappeared, the server may still have been running for years, but effectively nobody would have known how to access it.

If satire: perfect score.
this take is not fair to the community. almost all games auto set graphics settings as per your hardware since many years now.

any good developer would test these configurations on common hardware combinations (at least on the popular GPUs) before shipping. other than maybe the graphics preset, why are we expected to change all the dials just to start the game from the menu?

in the crossplatform era, PC has been treated as second class citizen with optimization. forza motorsport is also another example where even having above their minimum requirements give a slideshow on launch, despite lowering all settings.

expecting every gamer on PC to be tinkerers is just a myopic take that does not help with development priorities.

My brother has a pretty intense case of ADHD and is nothing like this. Some of my in-laws too and they also have no problems with weird hobbies and collecting random stuff. They certainly are no "makers".

They do have trouble holding down jobs and not hyper-focusing on their leaky faucets for two weeks straight without eating or sleeping much and talking about it non-stop while somehow not fixing it.

Yet, myself, no ADHD in sight. Other things, sure, but no ADHD and I have a knack of disappearing into black holes and emerging with "stuff"/"knowledge". I dislike synth music, but have programmed a modular software synth because I wanted to know how it works. Never touched it again. I know it now, there is no pay off in using it. That's boring and I'm no musician.

I'm not completely convinced this is an "ADHD" thing. I think this is a personality thing. INTP or something like that? You are just a "tinkerer". Getting stuff done is boring. Learning how stuff works is where the fun is at.

I have GFS, to a degree that's probably way worse than the article's author.

I have had an amazing career in tech. (not over yet). Most of it has been self-propelled by the things I've learnt because of GFS-type propensities.
UK regulator proposes cloud monopoly remedies
Really long article so I will only comment on one of the points that came to mind. He talks about the whole EA castle thing, and that it was actually mathematically calculated to be better to buy the castle, but it seems to me that something is always left out of the EA calculation. That is, the PR. It's better if there are more EAs, but the PR has been so bad that the number of EAs probably decreased quite significantly, but shouldn't that have been part of the calculation? If you only optimise for immediate effect and spend all of your PR to do it, this is just bad EA.

This is a WebKit vulnerability in the face of surprising microarchitectural behavior. For one, they put a website into the address space of another, which is a bug under Spectre.

I was a bit shocked reading all these comments, because many reflect exactly the issues I had with microwaves and I always thought I'm alone with that. When we moved in 2019 I had to buy a new one, living in Germany, you would usually go with BOSCH or SIEMENS, but at that time, all their models below 100 EUR looked almost identical! And of course had a loud beeping that you couldn't disable and generally looked low-quality. It took me quite a bit to find a decent microwave for around 100 EUR.
It's a Samsung! A brand that in Germany is not used for kitchen appliances at all. Just TVs/phones etc.
The exact model: Samsung MS23K3515AW/EG (not available on amazon.de anymore)
There is a bit of a hit: The beeping returns on power loss. And you have to press 2 buttons for 3sec to disable it again, took me a while to remember them, since we have power loss only like once a year. I guess you could do a small sticker with the instructions.
I count the "beeping off" not as a "great feature" - it's just common sense to me.
But there is a great feature: the "endless wheel dial" to precisely set the timer in 10sec intervals! That thing is awesome. It's very smooth to turn, but has small clicks for each 10sec interval AND you can use it WHILE the microwave is already running, for example when your wife tells you "but the food has been out of the fridge since 30min" - so you go 10-20sec less.
Pressing the START button immidiatly starts the microwave with a 30sec runtime. Press it again and you add 30sec or just use the "wheel dial".

Wanna heat up a cup of milk from the fridge? 70sec. Only half a cup? 40sec. Wife wants the milk extra hot? 80sec. Milk wasn't in the fridge? Minus 10-20sec - and so on. For families it's really useful.

It's 4 years old now and used 10 times a days, and runs still fine. It's a bit loud and the glass is very dark so you can't peek inside (probably the biggest disadvantage).
