If I have trouble finding something, recoll normally does the job. It indexes thunderbird too. And should you have a ZIP attachement in thunderbird, it will index the content too. :-). I think you could even set up up with cuneiform that a PDF inside the ZIP attachment goes through OCR should it not be plain text.

Can't disagree here. If you have time and a member in your team who can cook it, own hardware is worth a shot. But should get prepared for a lot of things to cook. You still have to maximize your server utilization together with security: running containers on a single host with 128 cores works seamless only if your workloads are trusted and the amount of processes is dozens, not hundreds or thousands.

I have used both Regus and WeWork while traveling and compared to signing up for a local coworking space, both were a million times easier. Don’t underestimate how convenient it is to stroll into a foreign city’s WW/Regus, swipe your card, and be working two minutes later. Signing up for a local space always takes longer.
>Wouldn't there be basically no dogs left in a couple year?

No. Plenty of people still won't sterilize their pets and abandon their litter in the street or some just run away or are lost or abandoned by their owners, therefore the stray dog population will never be absolute zero.
I don't think his reputation is so tarnished that he can't get other investors to continue to give him money.
You can't choose how you will be identified by people as being of some race, gender, religion, political beliefs... which all constitute illegal discrimination for employment in some countries (France is an example where it's illegal to discriminate on political opinion, or in our case, supposed opinion I shall say).

A hard pass on crypto means passing on people who

- wanted to bank the poor

- wanted freedom

- wanted self sovereign identity

- wanted border-less transfers for their family abroad

etc... Many people want to do good with crypto.

Questions: is it immoral to be in it only for the money at a carbon sequestration startup? How do you tell, from a resume? What if this startup is just greenwashing bs in the end? What if the money is to help his grand parents in the Philippines?

I think there's no clear cut way to judge the morality of someone from their resume: not from their skin color, nor from their previous work places. And I think it's unethical to judge people on what you presume of their own morality.

I think these things usually come down to perceptions of human intervention as basically bad. If you actually witnessed the death of every individual dog in your scenario as compared with euthanasia, it's not clear that it would be more pleasant at all. These dogs will die diseased and malnourished by the roadside. Again, I am not really at odds with your emotional position, I'm just interested in the moral foundations on which we sit, if that makes sense at all.

If I may make an attempt at the moral underpinning, it is something like "survival as intrinsic worth". There are flaws to this position, as with any.

Whitewater kayaking! I got into it late (26), been doing it for 2 years now. It’s a multi faceted passtime, of course at the core it’s a physically demanding sport, which helps keep in shape. But it’s also a social accelerator, meeting people with the same niche passion is amazing. I personally love the travel aspect, you get to seek out and find new wonderful places on earth that can’t be accessed otherwise (some rivers don’t have footpaths following the banks).
I also sometimes think most people could train to be an entry-level dev over a summer. Yet that seems demonstrably wrong.

I wonder if it’s similar to how a musician can’t comprehend how I can barely hear a beat.
Is something like AES useful for field encryption?

The problem is that IV should be unique for each message/field. But that makes querying impossible or very slow.

If IV is same for all fields, some querying is possible, but that is not how AES is supposed to be used.

How bad is having a constant IV (for all fields) per column?
Governments are taxing: salaries paid to employees, sales of products and services, profits made by the company, dividends paid and capital gains.

Also the great majority of value created by a company is captured by the society in improved productivity, products and services. Only a small part is retained by the capital owners.

Finally, these days anybody can easily become an evil capitalist with just a few bucks and a smartphone app, and anybody with a pension plan already is.
Don't most fly-by-wire systems have such a limiter? (unless they have a specific mode where it's disabled, like the a320's alternate-law/direct-law systems)

No idea if there's toggle or breakable wire somewhere to let you exceed these design limits on this plane though.
You can also get your own domain, and have FastMail host your e-mail with that. It has the benefit of not tying your e-mail address to any single e-mail hoster: you own the domain for it.

FastMail has excellent documentation to get this set up. Migrating there from GMail (were I already used my own domain) was a breeze.
To be fair this was a long time coming. It was a clever concept, clever execution but then it was all downhill.
Hmm. Didn't 6000-4000BC Northwest Africa was part of Green Sahara? The Sahara drying up was part of the Civilization building in the Nile. Maybe Egypt had some myths about the earliest eras and remember a large, very large area of fertile savanna and forest of pre-Egyptians and pre-Berbers, and Plato got Atlantis from that?

And? Per-employee profits are far higher than salaries or taxes, yet the source for both is value produced by the worker's labour. Somehow you're ignoring the majority of what is stolen by capitalists from workers, yet focus on a minor side-effect.
Yes it becomes a matter of interepretation. But to make an analogy, I enjoy my work through the same mechanisms as I enjoy solving sudokus. It's not that I need to actually keep or use the result. The reward comes from the mental challenge.

Too easy or too difficult sudokus arne't rewarding. The easy ones are basically just writing digits without thinking for a while (i.e. boilerplate work). The difficult ones are often frustrating and too much work for little progress. The sweetspot is something that offers some challenge but not so much that it's frustrating.

A simple solution to a simple problem will always be just boilerplate. It will be work that can often effectively be automated (But you can't try to automate it because then you have traded your simple problem for a more difficult problem of automation!).
To me it sounds extremely boring and unrewarding.

I didn't quite understand the gist of this article. What is the left out bit of the title? "You don't need to work on hard problems to...."?

I immediately thought "be happy". I didn't think "be successful" (or similar).
The fact that it is free software shouldn't make things different since it's a matter of copyright law. It's fine to copy the interface - the implementation not really. There would certainly be NO problem if a close reimplementation was under the GNU GPL (as a derivive work). But a close reimplementation can't have a different license.

When I was younger, I used to think investment success was about 80% the fundamentals of the business and 20% your social connections and ability to get in front of people with decision making power. I now think it’s closer to the reverse - especially if you’ve raised money before.

I can’t find the link now, but there was a good piece in Money Stuff about how previously being a CEO is a major requirement for future CEO jobs, even if you lost millions and did your job horribly.

My point being that the recurring cost of a developer license can easily be diluted on one-time payments.
In theory you can migrate between BGSes, but you can always just use one at any point in time.

In practice no one will switch because it makes no sense to do it. If there happen to ever be more than one real BGS contender, it will be from something like Cloudflare that will just replicate everything Bluesky Inc decides.
> the hyperbole felt like something bordering on a scam as I grew older

I think with the benefit of hindsight we can recognize techno hype as a kind of creative writing genre in itself. People got pleasure from reading it even if they never bought any of the products. And part of the joy of all but the most utilitarian product is always the fiction around it. People sell pans with dreams of Tuscany. Maybe it's good sometimes to hang on to the suspension of disbelief and enjoy the show. You know if you're going to the Barnum circus you're going to get scammed, but you're getting the privilege of being scammed by the greatest show on earth.

Key management and ability to support SQL/searching are the 2 biggest considerations.

`pg_enquo` uses Block ORE which is reasonably secure but results in very large (like 100x) ciphertext sizes. For an alternative (also written in Rust) check out https://ore.rs. It will soon support variable block sizes for smaller encrypted values.

If you want to do partial text queries or LIKE, you'll need a Searchable Symmetric Encryption (SSE) or Structured Encryption (STE) scheme. There are literally dozens of these schemes out there, each with their own tradeoffs so it can be hard to choose (Seny Kamara alone has published several: https://cs.brown.edu/people/seny/papers/).

Amazon KMS (and Google/Azure equivalents) all require a network request per encryption unless you cache/reuse keys. To put that into perspective, 1 query with 3 fields encrypted and 100 rows returned would result in 300 separate network requests.

You can use data-key caching to reuse a data key for many records to improve encryption performance. However decryption performance tends not to improve much because data-keys because they likely won't be uniformly used across your data set. Not to mention that you lose the ability to apply controls to records based on data key.

At CipherStash, we created Tandem (https://cipherstash.com/products/tandem) which uses a revised version of ORE, STE and fast key (bulk-ops) management to encrypt columns of your choosing. The core encryption is AES-256-GCM and the whole thing is written in Rust. It runs as a Docker container or standalone binary. We are working on WASM support as well as a separate Rust SDK. Most SQL queries "just work" and performance overhead is tiny (< 10ms per request).

Tandem is in preview and will be generally available at the end of November.

For some other gotchas when doing encryption in Postgres, I did a talk at Linux Conf last year (based on some ideas from Paul Grubbs et al paper of the same name): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD8dtLjhmAM

It's a bunch of conspiratorial nonsense.

Reading your comment and the dead comment from the other guy, I can't actually tell what the grievance is. One of the lead devs stepped away from social media? Okay?

From what others have explained, graphene OS is fully open, has a number of provable security improvements over AOSP, and has notable improvements in controlling how apps access your device.

Some healthy skepticism in security software is fine. But I don't think there's anything to what you or the other person are saying. Is there a specific portion of the project, some specific lack of reproducibility in builds or some binary blob injection you're worried about? And if a minor personnel issue is enough to make you question an entire project, maybe you should buy a dumb phone with a Faraday cage, and run slackware on a Thinkpad.
But if you're using pull requests, you can just look up the PR to get the reasoning and details of the squash commit. I would argue that if you need it to be separate commits after merging, you should create separate PRs most of the time.

Yes, it refers[0] to dos.library and complementary software such as the shell, cli commands, scripts.

exec.library is the kernel, which used to be called "ROM Kernel".

The ROM portion of the OS is called Kickstart.

The disk portion is called Workbench, but is also used to refer to workbench.library (mostly a file manager) today.

The whole system became AmigaOS at some point, probably around the 2.x release (1991).

IMHO exec.library is great, but dos.library was a huge mistake.

It's not really an arms race, it's more an inbalance between different categories of citizens.

Employees can hardly avoid taxes (as long as they're regular workers), while autonomous workers ("partita IVA") and small companies/entrepreneurs can easily avoid large amounts of taxes.

The latter are a huge source of votes especially for rightwing parties in Italy, so it's not uncommon for governments to make it easier to avoid taxes for them.

The current rightwing governemnt went as far as calling taxes "state's pizzo" (where "pizzo" is the payment Mafia asks for protection), it raised the limit for usage of cash, and it's discussing measures to forgive debt of tax evaders ("pace fiscale").

So no, it's not an arms race, it's just that it's convenient to let it happen for some political parties.
If you're using AES in GCM mode? Bad...like catastrophic. An attacker can reveal the key.

If you want to use constant IV for deterministic (exact) lookups. Make sure you use AES in SIV mode which is resistant to IV reuse or CBC mode with an HMAC tag. Its slower than GCM unfortunately but one of the only secure options when you want to use deterministic option.

This stuff is hard to get right and can bite you in subtle and unexpected ways.

The only problem with KMS in this model is that to get that auditability you need a data key per value/record. That means every decryption requires a request to KMS as it does not (and likely won't ever) support batched requests. We tried this for ages and the performance was terrible. < 100ms queries blew out to over 3 or 4 seconds.

I Failed to Raise Investments in 2023
Hello everyone,

I want to share my journey through 2023, a year of tough lessons and unyielding perseverance.

Six years ago, we embarked on creating a no-code website builder with a tiny band of developers and designers. Throughout this time, we've poured our heart, soul, and savings into making https://siter.io/ come to life. Despite a successful public launch a year back, our attempts to raise funds hit a wall this year.

We kicked off 2023 with high hopes, pitching to investors, dialing into calls with top VCs, and networking with influential industry figures. Our project sparked significant excitement, particularly after clinching 'Product of the Day' and 'Product of the Week' on Product Hunt. Yet, the buzz didn't translate into investments.

So, why didn't Siter catch the financial wind it needed?

The answer seems to be a cocktail of global economic crises, market instability, and concerns about our team's focus.

Many advised against fundraising this year, suggesting we continue bootstrapping and bide our time, as the climate for young startups to attract funding has turned icy. These voices aren't just anyone—they're heavy hitters in our field, and their insights carry weight.

Then there's the issue of the team. Investors shy away when founders are juggling multiple projects. They question our commitment. I get where they're coming from, but isn't there a silver lining? A multi-project founder can leverage a vast network and resources, acting like a Swiss Army knife—versatile and resourceful. I'm in this camp, working not just on Siter.io but also on https://designmodo.com/ , https://pulsetic.com/ , https://static.app/ , and supporting my wife's project, https://absurd.design/ .

Ignoring the chorus of caution, we continued to pitch relentlessly, but fate wasn't on our side. A few months in, we decided to pivot our focus solely on the product—and it's a decision that's starting to look wise. We're now on track to hit profitability by Q1 of 2024, and I'm optimistic about sustaining growth beyond that.

In our latest push, we've launched a Figma plugin, both here on Indie Hackers and on Product Hunt, aiming to turbocharge our growth. Check it out here.

I'd love your thoughts on this. What could we have done differently? Is it a strategic misstep to be a multi-project founder, or could it be a hidden strength? Are VCs right in their cautious stance?

Looking forward to your insights.
Understanding Language Disorders
Language disorders encompass a broad spectrum of challenges, including expressive and receptive language disorders, articulation difficulties, stuttering treatments, aphasia, and more. These conditions can manifest in children, adults, or the elderly, affecting their ability to comprehend, process, and express language effectively. https://worldstopstuttering.org/
But surprising nonetheless! I just thought of 15 times my city population and it is astounding.
That's absolutely wild. If you really only needed vpshufb, the throughput is the same in terms of values, because there are twice as many values per register and you get to retire half as many instructions, but it takes a bunch more instructions to combine the two inputs and apply a LUT of 256 values :(
I was once in Marseille, where there is a big Ferris wheel in the port.

My friend and I bought tickets to ride it at a kiosk, then walked up to the attendant checking tickets, who was standing directly in front of the Ferris wheel.

The attendant took our tickets, ripped a small notch on them, and then gave them back to us.

My friend asked, “What was the purpose of ripping the tickets and giving them back to us if we immediately get on the ride now?”

The attendant answered: “So you would ask me why I ripped it.”

The moral of this cryptic story being: the purpose of the fence may simply be to remind you to ask why it’s there.
Similar experience. One of them even tried to go for my leg. Had a very very bright flashlight which I used to blind them. After that I walked with a sharp ended walking pole and would not hesitate to stab them with it. It was a very hairy situation. Did not encounter the pack again since I stopped moving around the town at dark.
