Neat, its always good to see people experimenting on a better DNS system. As others have mentioned, there are alternative systems to IRC, and I think you should consider them and what system of incentives are created by what choices you make.

You are using someone elses infrastructure, and even if you have done everything possible to minimize their overhead, you are still planning to use them for free. I think the other suggestions made here regarding options all have merits that I am not qualified to speak on; but I do know that decentralized/federated DNS is something highly sought after in bitcoin circles like on stackernews and nostr. You could use nostr very similarly to how you use it with your current implementation; I would very much love to use it to make remote access to services on my home network more accessible, and to allow others to use those services as well. There is a built in userbase of people that would like to host everything from cloud backups to online marketplaces to browser games, but using a centralized DNS is simply not an answer for them.
I don't understand this thing about shutting everything down. I have a VPS that costs me £1.20 per month, so at the very base level if it is a service that nobody is using, then its maintenance cost can be extraordinarily small. And if people are using it, and you have a significant cost because of that, then that's a clear indication that it's too early to shut it down. Seriously, internet server bandwidth is cheap these days, especially compared to when these services were first put in place.

The only logical reason I can think of to shut these services down is to try to drive people towards new kit.

I note that the article mentions that the peak was in 1970, perhaps earlier than most countries.

I think that this may be linked to North Sea gas and conversion from coal to natural gas. And also the decimation of industry that occurred during the 70s and 80s.

> DNS costs money to use (which I argue is not suitable for all uses.)

This kind of thinking is a trap that I see many people fall into. Domains cost money because they have to cost money. Human-friendly names are a scarce resource (there can only be one google.com and one @johnsmith). They have value, and the market tends to reach equilibrium. If a scarce resource costs (or is given away for) less than some people are willing to pay for it, speculators will grab it and resell it for the "right" price. Free domains for everybody actually means free domains for an enterprising businessman who grabs all of them with a simple Python script in 24 hours, and then resells them for $10 a pop. We already see that with normal DNS, short and memorable domain names go for astronomical amounts, but because every registration costs money, registering more unusual domain names if you don't actually have a need for them is not a profitable strategy, and so good enough names can still be registered somewhat cheaply. You need to increase prices to make speculation unprofitable while still remaining affordable to end users. It's a balancing act.

If you don't create the barrier to entry yourself, the barrier to entry will be created for you, and not in a way you like or can control. Such a barrier doesn't have to be monetary, it can be (difficult) proof of work, centralized identity verification and abuse prevention policies, legal consequences for scalping, invitation / vouching requirements etc, but a barrier always exists, whether created by the system developers or the free market.

This only applies at large scales of course, if your system is used by 10 people and all of them trust each other, "grab any name you want for free" is totally fine.
It is also a good idea to test the restore procedures and documentation as well.

Don't have the grizzled old storage admin / DBA test the backup. They know a million and one weird necessary workarounds and just execute them. However, if you need a restore and they are currently exploring caves or something, things turn dire. Have a chipper junior restore something based off of the documentation (and prepare to spend a few days updating documentation...)

And make sure to test backup you don't regularly touch. And very much test those backups you really don't want to test.

This article discusses the reasons why APM cannot achieve real observability, analyzes why eBPF is the key technology to observability, introduces three core functionalities of DeepFlow based on eBPF, and further explains how to inject business semantics into eBPF’s observability data. Afterwards, this article shares nine real-world use cases of DeepFlow users and summarizes common questions that users had before adopting eBPF technology. Finally, this article further analyzes the significant implications of eBPF for new technology iterations.
Yes, I worked such jobs, unionized even, with the same sort of rules.

But that's the way of it. Different jobs have different requirements, and different cultures. Assembly line work obviously cannot have people wandering off whenever they choose. Most white collar workers, have more choice, and the longer lunch, is part of the pay.

> PI's have a lot to do, she admits that she wasn't focusing enough on the work that was being developed.

Her name was on the papers and she presented the work at conferences.

If she was not really involved in the work, then it was scientific fraud to have presented it as if it were hers.

If you were so out of the loop as to not realize that no experiments were being performed and the data was being fabricated wholesale, then it is fraudulent to put her name on the scientific paper as an author and to present as an author. She is not conducting research but is a renting out a paper mill.

That kind of behavior needs to be strictly condemned
> depend on software packages like Dynamic Windows

That was the reason for specification&development of the "Common Lisp Interface Manager" (CLIM), which was a portable reimplementation of Dynamic Windows to Common Lisp and CLOS. It supported to build the presentation-based user interfaces of Dynamic Windows. Implementations of CLIM were available for Lisp on Genera, Unix, Mac and Windows. CLIM 2 then was an attempt to blend better into the other GUIs.

https://github.com/franzinc/clim2

https://mcclim.common-lisp.dev (McCLIM is an independent reimplementation of the CLIM 2 "standard".

TI came up with a UIMS (User Interface Management System) based on Common Lisp + CLOS + CLX , called CLUE (Common Lisp User Environment) and CLIO. That one was then also used by LispWorks for its GUI and IDE as the low-level UIMS system. LispWorks later replaced CLUE with their own UIMS, called CAPI, which supported/s Motif (now obsolete), Gtk, Windows and macOS.

To expand, the software industry moves fast, and you have to keep learning to stay afloat, or risk stagnating and ending your career early. look at where software was at 5 or 10 or even 20 years ago. There was no react and no rust 20 years ago, nor was there even git! Whatever you know now is going to be out of date in a matter of years. good luck getting a job if that's all you ever want to learn.

I write both code and prose for a living.

They are not even close to being the same.

Can there be analogies, some very far fetched? Sure.

Do those analogies mean that the two are the same? No.

Is the reader's brain like a compiler? No. Compilers are very literal. Readers' brains build an imagined world from the hints given by the author.

One huge difference is the feedback. With a program, whether it compiles is a hard feedback. It either does or it does not, no wiggle room. Same if your unit tests pass. Does this sentence work? Maybe. Are you done revising that chapter? Well, I guess it's better now, but it still seems a bit wonky.

This does seem to be one of those places where you would have to prove intent to get a conviction but IANAL.
It's the security aspect. Nothing runs on an island, so there's the entire OS layer, libraries, and everything else. These require regular security upgrades, as vulnerabilities are discovered. Eventually, things are deprecated. Python, php and so on, have versions that are end of life. And so, you have to upgrade to an entire new stack. Often that requires upgrade to frameworks, and therefore code.

And beyond that, there's uptime monitoring. Security alerts. Logs to be read.

Bandwidth and bare metal costs are trivial, compared to labour to keep such things operational.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of two things happened. Some piece is now obsolete, and that requires a large amount of work to upgrade. Maybe a partial code rewrite.

Or someone key left. And training isn't seen as worth the effort, when #1 is close on the horizon.

That's why I hate this new breed of computer idiot who presumes to be equal in everything, in order to elevate themselves above the futility of their control structures. And also the reason why I'm actually completely wrong on this platform and will be considered an outsider.

No, computer programs (and code) neither solve existential problems nor do they resemble a poem or a story.
It may be that for a developer 'meaning and code' coincide and have a special "artistic" meaning, but that does not mean that the emergent result is of general importance or has anything artistic about it. Running a loop and checking conditions a thousand times per second may give you a certain feeling, or even "Microsoft Word", but in the end it's just repeating the same thing over and over again. The only artistic thing about machines and programs is their speed.

Actually, for speaking to a machine one has to think like a machine, and for writing a poem, one has to think like a human.

'Ah, so you feel proud to have programmed a new 'service' that no one needs?' Congratulations! Be happy that there is also art, to which you have now turned to in order to experience something different from what you claim to be the same.

I get angry when I have to read such nonsense.
I was not saying we have to be all on renewable perfectly. We are too far from even reaching a reasonable level. Power generation at night is dominated by coal plants.

The linked article is interesting, and it kinda confirms what I was wondering that it is probably wind farms that we need way more, not solar.
Yes, they should be class compliant devices. When I mentioned drivers I was talking about the possibility of an alternate driver that would simulate the 'jiggling'. I was just throwing one possibility out there. Mainly just to illustrate the point that anything running on your PC would be subject to some scrutiny from the bank.

I think this conclusion might be totally unwarranted: I suspect they did not control for how much the study subjects used their brain over the years of the study, let alone other correlates of jobs involving more physical labour.

It's described in the Wikipedia article on the 286, under "OS Support"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_80286#OS_support

It was discussed here on HN earlier this year:

Be sure to follow all the links and read the contemporary accounts.

The comments are very amusing in a sad way. I recently discovered that it is a meme for we 40+ year old people now to have the experience of 30-somethings passionately telling us that historical events we personally witnessed never happened.

The angry denials in many HN threads are a perfect example.

I've had many examples myself, but then, I'm a published writer. Right now the Reddit discussion of this article is full of angry (I presume) youngsters telling me I am totally wrong and frantically downvoting me.

Do you have any advice as to HOW the average home NAS user can affordably backup modern NAS devices?

I wonder if it's a similar effect like after the German reunification, but caused by Brexit instead? Total emissions for Germany as a whole dropped by around 35% during the 90's because the non-competitive East German industry was essentially shut down overnight. 35% emission drop looks great in headlines, but only if one ignores the economic side effects (of turning the lives of 16 million people upside down).

PS: looking at the graph the sharp downward turn already started in 2006, so probably not Brexit...
> As noted in another comment, some of this can be attributed to manufacturing being done elsewhere and the UK becoming more of a service economy.

This would be an interesting metric... instead of carbon emissions being calculated by the location of "chimneys", a better metric would be a total carbon emissions by all consumpton of the country. Sure, EVs are clean if you buy them in (eg.) UK, but all the polution is done elsewhere, from the dirty lithium production and dirty rare earths production, energy intensive metalworks, etc., but the car is still bought and used in UK, and the UK consumer is the cause for those emissions.

Also many even local policies don't take that in effect, because many things where we 'force' users into 'greener alternatives' are not so green if you count the manufacture (which is done elsewhere, and again, noone cares about that). In many cases, extending the life of a device (car, appliance,...), even with bad energy usage and/or emissions is still greener (looked globally) than buying a new appliance/car and disposing of the old. Sure,the new small EV is "green", but driving your old VW golf for 5 more years could have been greener (again, depends on the distance driven, etc.).

> City of Portland alone spent approximately $500,000 installing anti-homeless benches around just one park.

I can understand a business or rail/bus station that puts up hostile features to prevent people sleeping in that location so others are not put off the using the facilities, but a City surely has the means, budget and responsibility to try and solve the cause rather than the symptoms.
My manager is well aware and pissed. I only really became aware after getting pulled onto the project a little over a month ago, seeing how little existed followed by being able to get basically zero feedback on how things should fit into the project. It was easy to not see (for me) when we were supposed to be heads down on separate projects.

We’re given a lot of rope when it comes to what we’re working on so other than hearing about what others are working on in standup, often I’ll never see it.

That said, I’m not sure he knows what to do about it. I’ve worked under him for over a decade and this is the first time we’ve had a real problem like this. I suspect he’s working with his own manager on how to handle it.

I don't interact with the PDF output myself, but I can compile and email PDFs if I need to send work over to people who do not wish to receive LaTeX themselves, a fact I used throughout most of my high-school education, where LaTeX knowledge was rare. This is why I eschew formatting where possible, I can do enough to make my symbols look right and be understandable to a sighted reader not familiar with LaTeX, but not necessarily to make things extra pretty. Not actually seeing the output makes it a lot more difficult to check your formatting work.
The quality of projects that succeed is pretty odd considering youtube music.

There's a list of public bootstrap nodes, similar to how Tor bootstraps. Nodes report their own IPs as part of a signed (and timestamped) record, which can change over time. Once you've found one node, you can query it for information about its peers. Because connection information ("dialinfo") is signed, it can be re-shared with other peers.

There's also support for nodes that don't have public IPs at all, which connect to the network via some other node acting as a relay. In this case, they report the relay's node ID.
I had thought economists generally agreed that spending money in a way that makes some people worse off and the rest no better off is not exactly efficient.
Yes. I've described some of the flexibility characteristics elsewhere in this thread, but here's how you could do it:

1. The ROM stage measures the first mutable application stage A1, and makes the Compound Device Identifier (CDI) available to A1. CDI=Hash(UDS, Hash(A1), USS).

2. A1 creates a key pair for itself using CDI.

3. A1 measures A2 and creates a key pair for A2.

4. A1 signs A2's public key. This is the attestation.

5. A1 scrubs CDI and its private key from memory while ensuring that the attestation as well as A2's key pair is available to A2. Note that the TKey only supports two-stage boot chains at the moment.

A1's key pair could also be signed by the vendor before shipping. We do it like this: https://github.com/tillitis/tkey-verification
I believe it’s actually quite expensive to keep a service in a working condition. You can’t just leave a system connected to the internet running for years with no oversight.

I think the peak was achieved earlier than most countries because of the switch from coal to natural gas when North Sea gas started to be exploited, combined with the decimation of industry at the same time and later. Further down the line, the economy has stalled since 2008.

Sure renewables are growing like they do everywhere, but overall the energy policy, if there is one at all, is chaotic.

So, to me, praising "environmental progress" and how well the UK is doing is pure spin.
Indeed, great points.

Generally these articles use 1990 as a frame of reference. To be fair based on the initial graph shown alone, the UK has almost reached 50% of 1990 values also, though perhaps other countries have already achieved 50% of 1970 values.

My claim is not that public transport is perfect everywhere else in Europe, only that the preconditions for good public transport are much better in the UK than in most other countries, such as France or Germany, yet it isn't vastly superior. In my personal experience, public transport in the UK is definitely worse than in Switzerland, the Netherlands and Denmark, but I would argue it's worse than in Germany, France and even Sweden. Mind you, I don't restrict this to trains, buses make more sense in scarcely populated areas and their reliability tends to be highly affected by local politics.
