> What's unsustainable about Matrix? I've really enjoyed running our community on Matrix.

Many of us in the Delhi OpenStreetMap community are associated with projects like the Free Software Community of India, and run public instances of federated services, including Matrix and XMPP.

It has been our experience that XMPP has a dramatically lower server resource footprint than Matrix. We've actually had to close down a public Matrix service because it was economically unsustainable in this sense.

Yeah I believe GOLogic’s designs have the ERV exhaust in the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry, and the fresh air return in the living spaces and bedrooms. I definitely like the idea of that, especially with filtration.
Don’t people go to a website to find their specific doctor, department, or treatment options?
That's one approach and a defensible one but I think that might hamstring efforts to build a company to the point where sponsorship is an option. Another approach is providing services or products for a fee. But this is really a grey area and risks must be managed against the ability to be an entrepreneur and create valuable business and technology.
I'm starting to think that the magic of the '00s Flash era was not just the tool itself, but also that it existed in an era of the web that wasn't completely deluged with platform ads and affiliate links.

You're also mistaken. Qualcomm rarely used "generic" cores. Just like Apple, they had their own custom designs(Kryo) based on the generic specs(Cortex), which were instruction compatible but more efficient, that being one of the reason why they were ahead of the competition using generic ARM cores on TSMC, like MediaTek.

I don't think there's any need to be sarcastic about it. That's a very real possibility at this point.

Hey - I've been following the steady stream of articles and discussion here about heat pumps, so I have a question that is tough to answer from the articles.

Is heatpump popularity regional? My understanding was that heat pumps are the technology behind residential AC, heating, and commercial HVAC. Thermodynamic 4 step cycle of a working fluid with expansion, compression etc. Every house I've lived in has had one. The cycle is reversed to cycle between heat and AC; dumping the heat to one side of the system or the other depending on need, as controlled by the thermostat.

What is the alternative? I've seen in (new and old!) England they use natural-gas radiators sometimes, and have no AC, or window AC units. Is that it, and now areas with those are switching more to heatpumps? Or is it new, more efficient heat pumps? Or do I have a misunderstanding of the existing tech?
I'm taking "the internet" to mean "the web" here.

I think that the web has certainly gotten worse. It's not just my outlook.

However, the things the article talks about aren't what I think are worse about it. If those are the complaints, then I agree with the article.

What I think is worse about the web is all around monetization. Commercial sites, ubiquitous spying, the decline of the ability to find sites of interest, all that sort of thing. By those measures, the web is substantially worse than it used to be.
Good questions and a not-uncommon situation. This is very specific to your situation so please email me.
It might be a generic "beep" error that a dirty sensor or paper would normally indicate. People get used to false positives quickly and start ignoring them.

Maybe it was a different alarm with a distinctive indicate that "I read this fine, but it's a duplicate" and they would stop and start checking the ID.

I think a lot of projects have adopted a ritualism around an ideal that only exist in renders vs actual learned pragmatism as well. Despite these glaring shortcomings that I really must not be the only one to realize, the system still creates new stations or other infrastructure beholden to the same shortcomings. Pro transit journalists have their work cut out for them: it's so easy to ding these builds on a usual laundry list of items, but somehow the engineers are like automatons who blindly follow prescription probably from a higher form of government and one again, never seem to test the system beyond simulation I'd presume. How do you fix this? It seems so fouled from the top authority mandating stupid infrastructure to the bottom subcontractors who are hired to implement these plans and use their influence to perpetuate such byzantine planning, where they will be the most qualified contractors to bid on future projects. The inertia of these maligned incentives seems insurmountable. Everything seems so rotten and hard to fix without a total reset.

It's a little weird that we can induce addiction remotely, through the sense of vision, using purely computational means. Maybe not as weird as memes, but close. By putting a person and a neural net in a control loop, I wonder how much you can influence, say, their hormone levels. Surely the media have been hacking fear-attention and cortisol for a long time.

NIST does not refuse hybridization, they will be publishing guidance on hybrid schemes in the draft of SP 800-227 at the same time as the final standards. They don't impose it though, because at a large scale it's more efficient to run just (fast) ML-KEM instead of (fast) ML-KEM + (slower) ECDH, which more than doubles your computation time for what they see as no benefit.

Losing Taiwan fabs would have only minimal military impact. Military hardware uses older computing tech, built on larger nodes (its development takes many years / decades). It's also relatively low volume and military can outbid almost any other customer.

I believe the importance of Taiwanese fabs is very overstated. Taiwan is mainly a (geo) political matter.
Nope. Loongson is building on 14/12nm nodes and competing on performance with first-gen Ryzen and Coffee Lake. Zhaoxin is still on 16nm AFAIK, but they're matching modern architectures on IPC.

I agree with the persistence part for sure. Auth I think is debatable on a per community basis, but probably the spec could allow for more than it does. UX though I think is mostly on the client side and for any open spec you're going to have a multitude of clients. Or at least you SHOULD have a multitude of clients least you simply be open in name only.

The argument of doing so is the same as Nuclear Non-Proliferation - because of its great abuse potential, giving the technology to everyone only causes random bombings of cities instead of creating a system with checks and balances.

I do not necessarily agree with it, but I found the reasoning is not groundless.

The specific way sshd was infected would not have happened with libxz as dlopen library.

Debian's sshd only uses libsystemd for the notify api. I.e. it doesn't need any feature that uses libxz. If it's dlopen()ed, it does not need to be loaded into the process context to use an unrelated feature.

FWIW, IMO upstream systemd should split their monolithic library and allow users to pick better that way, but this has other implications on DX.
My guess was also the ease of building safe extensions along with numerous vector and time series extensions, and it's recently improved replication capabilities.
I agree with ngruhn that the integration of Nix with my entire development environment is much more seamless then docker images. I think what chriswarbo is getting at is that docker and Nix often have very different use cases.

In my case, I have a few different computers, and I declare all of their environments with NixOS in the same directory. Then I use syncthing so that all the builds are automatically updated and in sync. This means that I can develop something on my desktop, and open up my laptop and run it without configuring anything. If it works on my desktop, it works on my laptop and vise-versa.
I haven't used it, and only going off what is written, but:

There's few use cases outside of placebo. Torrenting without your ISP yelling at you, for one. Getting access to region-locked content, for another. Maybe regional pricing?

You're right that at the end of the day, it's just someone else seeing where you visit. And frankly, I think VPN users would be a higher target of surveillance anyways.

And if the VPN's company is from any 5-9-13-whatever-eyes country, you can assume all that information is being collected by them anyways.

I feel a bit like everyone is missing the point here. Regardless of whether law A or law B is ethical and reasonable, the very existence of laws and the state monopoly on violence suggests a privileged position of power.

Standard PSA: Do note that storing future times only in UTC can lose important information for almost everybody at some point. When a country changes its daylight savings time dates (as happens regularly and has happened before for the US) or decides to stay in daylight savings forever (as the EU and US are both proposing), any future events stored as UTC may then be at an incorrect local time.

The safest format for a stored future timestamp is a local time, an IANA timezone name, and, if you need it for efficiency, a derived UTC time. But you need to rederive the UTC time whenever the timezone database changes (or whenever the related entity/user changes their timezone), or it may become incorrect, as above.
I have mixed feelings about this.

Most health care can be had more affordably outside the US. There are places where it is relatively cheap and relatively high quality. In fact, life expectancy is lower in the US than it is in, even the UK, at every income level. So for some level of medical care you may actually do better outside. Granted, if you get cancer you probably want to return to the US.

And you do trade time, life, sedentary time at a desk, for the money that pays for the location. What happens if you work less, go someplace cheaper, and use your decreased stress and increased time to look after your health more?

I'm not sure about any of this.

This is an individual in a specific situation. I can think of a few reasons off the top of my head why they might have done what they did.

Most importantly, there might not even be a standard process to follow here - remember this passenger was properly ticketed. There previously was a glitch. The agent probably didn't want to deal with angry passengers (there was a fight between passengers and a Delta agent in the past couple years).
That could work. There also might be other visa options.

>[paraphrasing] Certain virus particles lack rNA-abducting protein-coding information (mutation), so they must "cheat" to reproduce: they overtake co-virus' rNA polymerases, and manufacturer their own genetic information more quickly than the victim's own sequencing (because their encoding is shorter, lacking instructions for creating own polymerases). Without a co-virus, their fertility is zero; but with a co-virus, their fertility exceeds "normal" viral rates.

Because git and the PR is the common choke point that every one knows and loves. A lot of dev's look down on "patches"... there are tons of people who happily use linux who think that all kernel devs are stupid cause of bugzila/patches and email could not possibly work.

I think it's also relevant that the xz exploit made use of the fact that by running code before main, they could modify areas of memory that later get turned read-only. Any library that does get loaded with dlopen can of course still attack the process it's in, but it has less tools available to it for evading detection.

You could always look at an E2 visa if you don't want to invest $800,000 in an EB-5 project; however, investment amounts vary from $150-400,000. The range is based on what USCIS would consider a "significant investment" based on your country of citizenship. E2s don't lead to a green card or US citizenship, but you may find a USC/PR spouse or another path while saving some capital.

Either E2 or EB-5 will have significant fees associated with them. Typical EB5 "administration/syndication" fees will run $80,000. You may be able to reduce this by going to the EB-5 Project directly and negotiating. Most of the time, 90% of that fee is used to pay a foreign agent(aka finder) for bringing the investor
When I look for evidence of small farms using fewer chemicals, I see the opposite. Random example in China where smaller the farm, the more chemicals: https://sustainability.stanford.edu/news/overuse-fertilizers...

And we're supposed to regularly drive out to farms to monitor their use of chemicals? You'd have to spell that scenario out to me because it sounds ridiculous and rather naive. For example, all of us who eat food also have our own jobs and lives to worry about, and we can't spy on every producer of every good we consume, though I'm not even sure what the spying accomplishes.

Tell me what this stakeout looks like and what kind of info it's going to gather.

Sounds like something we'd offload to a representative, authoritative body...
I think this is an important point. As posed, the question was about whether or not everyone should be subject to a wellness check just because they didn't log into something one day.

I think that idea is ludicrous and potentially dangerous.

The way these things should work is individualized. Presumably, the people in a person's life know their circumstances and usual habits, and would have a reasonable notion of when that person is throwing off red flags that indicate intervention is required.

Being absent from the internet could be one of those red flags, but that's about the particular person, their situation, and their habits more than the internet.

For example, I routinely go days at a time without being on the internet (or even contactable via cell), so my absence would and should alarm nobody. To say that being absent from the internet is a serious enough red flag so as to require intervention for everyone is nonsensical.
Figuring out whether the upgrade is safe is a hard problem. I've found renovate most successful in frontend JS projects where you have a ton of dependencies all with new versions coming out all the time, most of which are non-breaking, and where the danger of a bad upgrade is not that large.

For backend work or once you've gotten the easy stuff out of the way you really need to review the changelog, assess the risk, and do the upgrade safely (disclosure: my startup Infield is in this space).
