Some meta thoughts on the general idea - not meant to denigrate this tool at all.

The problem I see here is that you will never learn to master the command line tools themselves. This may make sense for someone who rarely uses the terminal interface and does not need to feel comfortable in that environment. For the rest of us, professional admins or old-school hackers, it is not a viable alternative. They need the reference of a man page to get unambiguous clarity about a command or option, but also for discovery and exploration. In practice, a command that has already been used will be retrieved via your shell history. We do not want to repeat ourselves and we do not want to write verbose prose, IMHO that is the opposite of the hacker spirit. More importantly, we want to understand what is going on with each command, especially when it comes to long command pipelines.

In general, I wonder more and more if we are all losing knowledge about the lower levels of computer-machine interaction. I mean, going up the ladder from assembly to higher programming languages and now to natural language reaches its tipping point where you lose the deterministic chain of control. You can always tell what a computer program is doing, but you can never be 100% sure of what a human is trying to express with his words and whether his actions follow. I am afraid that the same feeling is now crossing over into the world of computation by using LLMs instead of unambiguous programming languages.

The dumbest part of that circus is that NYC is probably the last city in the US that needs to "encourage" companies to open up shop and use its real estate.
Sounds a bit like USB/IP (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/USB/IP).

Is this a new thing?
It reads like something a GPT model would write, they go all over the place.

I also wonder what would their point of view be if the internet truly was wilder, like 4chan or everything behind TOR.

On one hand, I kind of like the idea of spreading and atomizing the internet to the masses, a bit like it was at the beginning, but at the beginning the people that were part of the internet were a particularly well educated elite. It was definitely not for everyone.

Not everyone was online, what we had was people with disposable income to have a computer, usually with some form of college education and some technical knowledge.

Then the masses came, and social media thrived.
Every galaxy we know of contains a massive black hole in the center. Until recently, the widely held belief was that massive black holes are formed via the process of mearging smaller black holes in large timeframes. However, once the JWST came online, astrophysicists discovered early massive black holes close to big bang that could not be explained by that cumulative process. There just was no time for the cumulative creation to a such large black holes.

So the current working hypothesis for massive black holes in galaxies is that they formed directly from the gravitational collapse of "vast clouds of gas and dust" with such high gravitational pressure that the core couldn't keep up, and the entire mass of gas and dust collapsed into a massive black hole. There is no supernova involvement; merely a direct transition into a black hole.

Of course, take my laic simplification into account.

I was just thinking today that I should just start posting my stuff on a personal site. Photos, blogs, life updates, etc.

It gives me that control that I want, and I don't have to worry about Meta, etc trying to monetize it. Plus I get to unplug from those "n liked your post" dopamine hits.
I'm not sure if it was just me, but I struggled with the visual style. In some groups there were more rows than others, but then the rows would be of different lengths, making it difficult to intuitively compare the population sizes, especially when trying to break them down by color coding.

It felt like the "some adverse experiences" group was worse off than the "many adverse experiences" group, which I'm guessing is incorrect.

You have to disbelieve anyone who says they aren't a derivation of their previous person states. That's just physics.
It is surprisingly easy to set up a phpBB forum or some such thing, on a tiny VM tucked into some obscure pool, set up a nameserver for it, invite a couple of your friends, and start your own community, completely disengaged from any major corporate shenanigans.

Big things can happen with such a virtual machine.

Even better, you could a mailman server, and get yourself a proper mailing-list of like-minded subscribers - for any subject under the sun - chatting away on a regular basis.

Fact is, all it takes to set up a decent social network is to do some social engineering. Even real, meat-space activities can be completely divulged of their toxic mainstream membership in the info-spectacle industrial complex, and replaced with a couple smart services, on a tightly bound VM, somewhere functional.

Big things happen because of the people, not the technology involved...
The justice system's role in non disclosure of Horizon material
Is there a security assessment published?

For any not-too-security-obsessed readers of HN: this sends all of your shell commands to some server (ha, but you can choose which one!). We all make mistakes, we all once in a while paste a password in a shell by mistake, or private API endpoint, or you know, expose architecture of your system by history of your shell. Why would you use it?

Edit: Actually flagged it. I believe it brings more harm than help. Whoever is going to use it, they will not be able to assess impact. Whoever can assess the impact, they will not use it.
It's basically just a joke, so yes, everyone can do it.

I do have the idea, though, of letting the software offer to macroexpand people's links to past HN threads in this way (i.e. turn a raw link into an annotated one that mentions the title and date of the thread, and number of comments - because this makes the links more useful to the reader, who can more clearly decide whether to click or not). So maybe it will be more than a joke someday!
Yeah, good observation, that really annoyed me too. I tried to get HTMX to mess with the browser history, but that only seemed to make things worse...

Interesting aside on flamewar detection: you can visualize the comment embeddings in a 2d scatterplot, color coded by username. As you'd expect, a great deal of dang's comments occupy a distinct position in comment-space.
Ah that's right, miscounted the blues
I noticed that the no adverse group had very few people who said they were happy most of the time. I think this could come down to the weight of debt and maintaining a "stable" lifestyle. The more adverse effect group is probably generally lower income and less likely to have a lot of debt.
Yeah but I'd say that's more luck than ability at this point though.
I'm using Gitea locally. I haven't come across forgejo before. It seems to be forked on the basis of providing a fully open source solution (it states that some Gitea enterprise features are not present).

Do you know what the main differences are and whether it is worth switching?
Comments posted by my account are always ones that I personally write and personally post. Never automatic. Even though a lot of the moderation comments are repetitive to put it mildly, it would feel wrong to do it any other way.

I do have software the makes it easier to find past threads and to create the text of the form Title - link - month/year - number of comments, as well as to speed up countless other repetitive tasks, but it's all software that I'm using personally.
"Dr Andrew Green argues that ... material relating to the Horizon computer system and Fujitsu’s role in selling a defective system have been concealed in secret court hearings where Post Office lawyers argued that it would not be in the public interest to disclose it."
I think the hardest aspect of learning German as an American from native German speaking instructors is due to the manner in which the language is taught.

One part of this is the assumption that Americans have some/any familiarity with the language, and that is simply wrong. We are simply not exposed to the German language at all, for obvious reasons.

Tangent >> it's also funny how Austria is coded as a Category 3 language while Germany is Category 2 :o
I actually saw that video, but I had heard of Wireless USB for awhile. My manager at my first job after dropping out of college the first time got it for his computer and he was super excited.

At least according to Wikipedia, it was encrypted.

Right, the stores would actually pay a little less than market value+tax on any "presumed used" gold.

Charging taxes on a consumer resale is hard and unpopular as it is double taxation, the only example I can think of is weird places with house sale stamp taxes and such.
There's a lot of technical measures that prevent people doing harmful actions. Even in spaceships, where pilots are highly trained, focused, selected professionals.

For example, most cars prevent fiddling too much with its entertainment system while driving, even though drivers are expected to not do that while driving.
Couldnt have put it better myself. The sheer incompetence is staggering and frankly it's depressing that these giant corporations are so good at selling their steaming piles of shit to companies who should really know better.

What better way to move fast and break things?
Sorry, but this really comes off as victim blaming and "domain knowledge"-eliteness.

Victim blaming because AT&T shouldn't be doing these things in the first place. Yes, you're right, you should set things up in a better way to prevent this from happening, but you're excusing the bad behavior by placing the blame on the user.

The elitism comes from the fact that we live in a specialized world. Not everyone is an expert in everything. If you think you are, I'm here to tell you you're just lying to yourself and thus undermining yourself. There's even plenty of good programmers and people who work on other technical domains that don't have all the knowledge around DNS. This is true for any technology or any specific task. If you're an expert is any domain you're probably quite aware that getting things right ends up being very nuanced. So if you recognize that, then you should recognize that's true outside your main domain.

Now if your intention is to help people and educate them then may I offer another way to formulate the comment?

If your ISP is making changes that break resolution of your local LAN you can do some configurations to prevent this. You should probably do this anyways. OpenWRT will perform this for you out of the box, but if you can't or don't want to flash your router you can <insert explanation here> or I found this guide [<insert link number>]

Even if you think people are dumb (__especially__ if you think people are dumb) this message will get more people to fix their problems. You may want to get in the habit of writing like this because we all know that there are things that other people do that affect us. Or chose to do/use things that move the markets and politics and whatever that we then become subjected to. Attacking or blaming them doesn't help us get what we want. Being nice does. At least being nice is the easier way (and you'll probably be less stressed too).
Agree. The place I went to HS had a 4.0 grading scale. There was no other high school in my town. Several towns over, their school district decided that AP classes should get weighted grades, putting me at a comparative disadvantage within the same curriculum.
This is true. If someone says "I just want something that works, and Virtualbox works" it doesn't really raise any eyebrows. It's really the tone of "I am unable to make QEMU/KVM work, since I am not a rocket scientist" that implies, maybe they would use QEMU, if only it wasn't horrifically difficult to get working. I think if your experience with QEMU is this bad, you may have just gotten a bit unlucky and gotten off into the weeds on a detour you probably did not need.

That said, are there reasons why someone who just wants things to work and doesn't want to tinker ever would choose QEMU over Virtualbox? Definitely. Here's a good one: the Virtualbox kernel modules were notoriously problematic. Back in the day, loading the vboxdrv module would add TAINT_CRAP in your running kernel[1], because the kernel developers were tired of dealing with bug reports that are the fault of the vboxdrv. Presumably it's better nowadays, but out-of-tree modules are generally a source of headache. Another good one is features: Virtualbox has a lot of great features for desktop end users, but QEMU can do a whole lot more; it supports absolutely tons of architectures and system options. You get access to a wide range of paravirtualization devices through Virtio drivers, including VirtioFS, a dramatically superior solution for mounting directories into VMs versus Virtualbox's Shared Folders feature, in my opinion. It's also possible to do a lot more advanced things, like setting up a discrete GPU passthrough and Looking Glass, or passing a portion of your Intel iGPU using GVT-g.[2]

Of course, some day Virtualbox may support a KVM backend, just as virtualization tools are starting to support unified hypervisor backends on Windows and macOS. There's even an existing patch, though I do not know what the status is and whether or not it could ever be merged upstream.[3] So maybe in the future, choosing between Virtualbox or KVM will become unnecessary.

For now though, it's definitely not clear what you should recommend to someone IMO. (For this particular use case, I don't even recommend a VM at all; I think for Windows 95, 86Box is a better solution.)

>And yours are the words of a contemptous, snarky Internet troll.

Mildly contemptuous and somewhat snarky, I definitely can be, intentionally, in some justified contexts, such as in the context of replying to your original comment, which was intellectually unsound, vague and vapid (using your own word against you). Weasel words, like I said elswhere in this subthread. (And don't pretend that your words to me are not contemptuous either. Can't handle tit for tat, or an eye for an eye?)

A troll I am not, although I don't expect you to agree with that. Opinions, bro, opinions. Mine is as good as yours. You don't get to lay down the standard for what is right or wrong, even though it might be a wet dream of yours.

>You might find Reddit a better place for your edginess.

He he, I left Reddit a long time ago, so as to come here and trouble passive-aggressive people like you (just kidding).

>It's not welcome here.

Neither is your kind of crap talk. In fact, I'd hazard a bet, that my kind is more welcome, among the HN cognoscenti (a.k.a. the sane ones), who exist, although they are probably much fewer in number than the hive mind or echo chamber crowd here.
Normal distribution and all that, y'know.

The MariaDB database server was never relicensed. As a fork of MySQL, it is GPL, and as far as I understand must always remain GPL.

You may be thinking of their separate MaxScale proxy product, which uses the Business Source License, which MariaDB created.
They are extremely different states of being.

You are happy to receive good news, or for something to turn out well, or whatever else. But it is not a resting state. It's a liminal state. Contentedness, by contrast, is a resting state. You can awake contented, fall asleep contented, and spend your days contented. You may rarely, if ever, experience happiness - yet find yourself able to find satisfaction in life nonetheless.

By contrast a pitiful, depressed, self loathing individual, can experience happiness as much as anybody else. But he is most certainly not content nor satisfied. Perhaps a junky would be another example. A junky certainly experiences happiness when his poison enters his veins, yet he almost certainly is far from content or satisfied.
I've stopped worrying about it, I now use the heat with a packet of bio-enzyme to help dissolve any random bits of lard blocking up the waste drains, this is one of those unintended consequences scenario. I recall reading about California sewage got clogged up when enough people bought low flush toilets but the bigger street sewage pipes were never designed with so little flow.
Somewhat of an aside: I've grown tired of Roman mythology being foisted upon our planet names. But I'm even more tired of hearing NASA spokespeople talk about e.g. "exploring the heavens". At least they don't say "firmament" or refer to the Earth's mantle as being infernal.

This feels like you're nitpicking the language, not the thinking.

Imagine someone's contribution to a business increases revenue by $1000 and the total cost to employ that person for the same period is $800. Do you think most businesses would go "nope, we only hire highly leveraged people who produce $2000 in revenue"?

There are inefficiencies in scale (like communication/bookkeeping overhead) that might disincentivize a business from growing, but generally speaking, I think it's fine to model decisions as rational cost/benefit ones.

Workers who are only "worth it" at some wage. Nobody is going to pay you a million dollars to go sell a hundred dollars worth of stuff. If the value you can earn on the market is sufficiently lower than what someone is allowed to pay, they simply won't hire you. That's bad for everyone.
Oh yeah, this has been understood logic for like... ever. I felt this way even back when I self-identified as a libertarian. Now as a lefty I feel similarly.

But people in the states especially and even in parts of Europe are so hard up on this notion that the criminals are just criminals from birth, barely even human, just waiting for some way to exploit larger society or worse, them personally, somehow to "steal" their way to "the easy life" and it's just so detached from reality. Are there people who are just remorseless psychopaths ready to harm anyone at a moments notice for their own gain? Yeah, sure are, most of them end up being cops. The rest are people who are given few if any options to get by, and if crime is your only option to getting a meal, of course you're going to commit a fucking crime. It's like these people expect the homeless to just lie down and await death instead of stealing food.
It's hard to look at visualizations like this and reflect on the experiences of the individuals living through hardship. Even those who 'make it out' may struggle in ways not fully captured in the data or this visualization.

I grew up in a 'high risk environment', and experienced all the adverse experiences with the exception of gun violence (yay Canada). I'm one of the few that 'made it out'. Many of my childhood friends are dead (usually overdoses), suffer from substance abuse, or are still stuck in the poverty cycle (on average it takes 7 generation to break the cycle).

I look at this visualization and I can feel, to my core, what these folks feel. Even for those that 'made it out', I feel for them. I struggle with my mental health, I've had to actively reparent myself, and I feel pretty lonely. Many of the people I'm surrounded by don't know what it feels like to carry all the weight from your childhood.

I do agree that the government shouldn't just throw resources at the problem. There are some things the government can do, though.

1. Teach conflict resolution skills to young children. This mitigates adverse experiences and prepares the children for adulthood (especially if they 'make it out')

2. Address addiction as a health problem and not a criminal problem. Children don't need to see their parents as criminals, they need to witness them get better.

3. Reduce the burden of poverty. For instance, the poorer you are the further you have to travel to the grocery store. The people who often don't have the means to easily travel for food have to travel for food.

4. Access to education. The people I grew up around who have found success did so because our schools were really well equipped.

You'll notice I didn't list access to support systems. Honestly, they are kind of useless. As a child you understand that if you open up about your experience there is a solid chance your parents will get in trouble or you'll be removed from your home. No child wants this. You end up holding it all in because you can't trust adults.

These are just some of my thoughts. Definitely not comprehensive, I could ramble on about this for ages.

All hyperscalers have an SDN that essentially spoofs local ARP/DHCP inside the hypervisor and does not support broadcast or multicast by design (there are some caveats here, since some telco protocols that require them can be made to work).
A theory of why Sufism is popular is that it gives its followers pleasurable feelings (spinning in circles causes pleasure). Similarly, it seems like revolutions gain followers by offering pleasurable feelings too. Forbidden fruits are a great source of pleasure. For example, being attracted to someone of the same sex used to be a forbidden fruit. Then people said that the forbidden fruit is actually OK, and that led to a revolution in civil rights. Right now we have a couple of nascent forbidden fruit revolutions. One is based around becoming stupider, basically: doing psychedelics, believing in magic. The other is based around finding the truth, basically: reading about genetic differences between populations.

Whether it counts as a collective sacrifice would sort of depend how it balances against the benefits of living among a population with a lower desparate/safe ratio. It may well be a collective investment instead.
