At my last job, I implemented Firezone on AWS and it worked like a charm.

It was before the refactoring and the move to zero trust, so back then it was a simple admin panel. It was maybe mid 2022 I implemented it.

There was a terraform module I created for setting up the basic infrastructure, but there is no way the module supports the current state of the product. I guess it moved way quicker than I was able to follow LOL. The module was accepted in the Firezone group but later discontinued, for obvious reasons. I wish I had the time to contribute to the project supporting an official module for it, but I guess life happens to everyone haha

Good luck with the project! This is really good and very needed, the only other alternative being Tailscale, which is all closed source.
They hurt Firefox by giving them money. If not for the big fat google pay check Firefox would have had to be a good browser instead of the piggy bank for the personal projects of its former ceo.

If people don't have an uproar every time they're reminded, it normalizes and legitimizes it. The outrage forces them to operate it in the shadows.

As much as I hate it happening on any level, I feel that the forced secrecy must have some cooling effect on if not the collection, but at least the use and application of it.
Agreed.

Someone else is getting flak for saying the same as you, only summing it up in a single word: "gross". According to dang it's against HN guidelines to single this sentence out, even though it's the single most striking sentence of the (rather short) article.

It's a disappointing world where most people don't consider this gross.
A badly written eBPF program at this level could still prevent you from using your computer though. Not in this specific way, but if you use eBPF to prevent other things from running, and you accidentally deploy an eBPF program that, say, triggers on every process start - then you'll prevent every process from running, and the machine will be just as useless as one that doesn't boot at all.

Not an easy read by any means, but it's core hypothesis is spot on IMO: Google (and others) core business is aggregating and processing as much user data as possible. Every product they create and every decision they make aims to increase or protect their access to data.

You're doing it again, though: are "this particular problem" and "these problems" the tea.yaml spam? The million tiny packages problem I mentioned? The fact that people online will generically attack the ecosystem without being specific about their complaints?

Question for people in the US that use Hetzner. Billing-wise, do they show up as a US presence? With Fastmail I have to disable some security on one of my bank accounts for a day every couple of years to add credit to Fastmail as they are based out of the AU as it pertains to billing. Would it be the same for Hetzner?

Fastmail has earned some trust from me so I don't mind having two or three years of credit on my account. With VPS/server providers and registrars I usually stay under 1 year so I can walk away without losing much. This would be more of a hassle is why I ask.
These clocks fundamentally measure how long certain processes at the quantum level take. We can measure time now so exactely that on the scale of the age of the universe we are less than 1/10th of a second inaccurate. Or as another example clocks are now so accurate that we can measure the time dilation by raising a clock in the gravitational field of the earth by millimeters.

I liked an NPR article about how Mayans let their young do chores whilst young, when in contrast we tell them to go away and hand them an iPad. I read it before having a kid, and now that I do, if my daughter can help with a chore in any way, I let her, and encourage her for helping. She is so overjoyed for helping out.

I don't think that's irreconcilable with the author's point. Indeed, I find myself the "adult in the room" amount many of my friends and, frankly, most of my family. If something happens to me, it's usually my job to manage emotions. Likewise, if two people start a heated argument, or if one person wants to do the same with me, it's usually my job to de-escalate.

These aren't what I _want_, or what I _need_, for sure - especially if I am the more challenged of the two parties. That's the author's point. (You're sick? Why did you get sick?! You knew you needed to take precautions...!) But frankly the outcome is better for both of us if I choose to manage the situation on both our behalf - both of us "suffer" less.
There will be no competitor to advertising if Google is spearheading the effort. Micropayments have failed because payment processing fees for tiny transactions are too high. Google can subsidize that briefly with its enormous wealth, but eventually they will institute "bundle pricing" aka a subscription.

I work as a Web designer in Linux. I'm not sure that I could completely get away with it if I wasn't already pretty code / frontend focused. I reach quite a bit to web-based tools (Figma, Whimsical) when I need to do prototyping, and find things like Krita and Inkscape more than competent for actual pixel pushing.

Where things fall apart is when you're in larger teams where everyone uses the more common tools on the more common OSes. Collaboration becomes much harder, and there are certain walls you can't cross. The other weak spot is with video editing. There are options, but none of them are as easy to use as the ones you'll find on OSX.

Design requires A LOT of screenshotting, and for that I resorted to building my own workflows [0]. That sort of brings up the major benefit of Linux as a designer. You really do get to build out your "dream" setup, and my Desktop over the years is really customized to the way I work, not the way others work. That's part of the joy of design for me, and while it certainly will limit me to working with Startups or companies that are OK with individuality in workflows, it's provided a level of happiness I wouldn't trade. If anyone is interested, I wrote about my thoughts about using Linux as a designer over here [1].

> This article's brief explanation of how the process works seems somewhat misleading, as it claims that the ion substitution creates tension in the glass, which makes it harder for cracks to spread - but cracks propagate under tension.

The article uses “tension” informally, meaning under mechanical stress. I would not read too much into that. But yes, you are right.

> I am wondering if the chemical process is slow, which might be another reason for it not being adopted for ordinary objects such as drinking glasses.

The fact that such glasses tend to fail catastrophically and shatter in small shards is a problem, for something that is used in homes, often with children, and that is bound to break at some point. Not great from a safety perspective.
> Until people forget about it and buy cheap stuff again.

Until they cut themselves on the sharp edges when it breaks. Duralex is safety glass but some people only see "wow many peaces normal glass only breaks into a few".

Proper cuts from Duralex look like you had a hard fall, proper cuts from normal glass require a trip to the hospital for stitches.

Show HN: A Simple Directory Website for Unique Personal Websites and Blogs
I absolutely love personal websites!

Ever since I was young, I have had a deep appreciation for personal websites. There is something truly amazing about having a corner of the internet that is entirely your own, where you can share your thoughts, passions, and creativity with the world.

I think reading/browsing personal websites and blogs is still, a pretty elite way to use the internet. You find real gems and get to know interesting stories directly from the person involved. One of the best examples of this is entrepreneurs sharing their early stories.

That's why I decided to create this directory website. I probably have a 1000+ personal websites/blogs bookmarked but its a pain to keep track of so this should be a fun little side project for me.

Please take a look and submit your favorite personal websites!

It's probably a combination of the surface being black in colour (charcoal), plus a surface texture that absorbs light.

It brings to mind the way feathers and insects often have brightly-coloured parts that aren't due to pigment but rather the microstructure preferentially absorbing/reflecting specific wavelengths, giving a colour.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_coloration

Similarly, I wouldn't be surprised if the microstructure is tuned to work best (lowest reflectance) in the visible light range.

EDIT: limited wavelength range also applies to other "super-black" materials https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_black#Technology

> it is somewhat rubbish for user experience with the friction of getting files in and out of your app

It's not worse, generally, than the average experience of using a NodeJS program that won't run because the dependencies didn't install correctly or it's the wrong version of the runtime, or... (cf Armstrong; or, to borrow a saying by Ousterhout (with a small tweak): the greatest improvement to a program of all is when it goes from not-working to working).

The two worst rough edges for file saving for browser-based apps are:

- if you consider, say, a paint program that you're using to work on an image, it can't implement the ordinary save behavior where some keyboard shortcut or menu items saves (overwrites) the current file you're working on; to do the same in the browser requires the user to do the equivalent of a Save As every time (instead of a Save)—i.e. complete with a prompt to double check that the user really wants to overwrite the previous file

- some browsers have changed the default download behavior so it automatically saves to a downloads directory without asking the user and allowing them to change the path/filename with a conventional filepicker; this setting has to be changed by the user themselves to get the old, circa 2005 browser download behavior

These are both issues that can be fixed and don't require something as expansive as Chrome's filesystem API proposal.

I've had many Duralex glasses break (it has the same "issue") and exploding is a massive exaggeration. They break into many peaces yes, but they are less dangerous than normal glass. I also do not like cleaning up normal glass since you need to handle it with care. Especially around drunk people.
Story time: many years ago, user testing of search ranking worked with a process called "side by sides". This where for a certain group of people they would compare search results in production with an experiment and they would see which were preferred. The goal of Google is to make the result the user wants #1 on that list. So you would have known searches and you could compare the old result and the new.

This was actually labor-intensive on Google scale and thus expensive. It also had problems. For example, certain results might be time-sensitive. Searching for "Simone Biles" now should have her Olympic results near the top of the list. Run that same query in 2 years and the desired result will be different.

Also, user behaviour changes over time. If you had user search data from 2000, how would you deal with Reddit search results now? Or the SEO content farms that came later?

You need ongoing user behaviour data to continually refine search results. It's a constant arms race.

So along comes Chrome. Originally then-CEO Eric Schmidt didn't really see why Google should get into the browser business. This was in the 2000s. But we were still in the grip of the IE dominance although it was waning and Firefox was floundering. In the 2000s browser support was a much bigger problem than it is today. It's why we got things like jQuery.

But Chrome went ahead and even from Chrome 2 or 3 it was so much better than anything else. One big innovation was a process-per-tab. FF was known for freezing the entire browser because each tab was a thread.

But why did Google invest so much in this? Search results.

Chrome gave Google insights into how users interacted with search. Side by sides no longer became necessary because Google had direct insight into how users interacted with search results, whether they clicked on a link and immediately left (ie bouncing, this absolutely hurts how Google ranks your site and Google uses it to downrank SEO content farm sites) and what link gave the user the result.

This accumulated knowledge and insight from the user's browser is something that no one other than possibly Microsoft could theoretically compete with.

Why did I tell this story? Because this article talks about Google's search dominance and doesn't mention Chrome. You cannot talk about one without the other. If you don't mention Chrome, I really question your knowledge on the subject.

I think the QA issues are by far the most important part. A security component of this type, by its nature, has to be able to prevent your computer from doing anything at all, since any part of userspace (at least) could be compromised.

The "fail safe" for a security component is in fact to prevent any user space code from running at all - better that than having it actively harm other systems, exfiltrate data, destroy connected hardware etc. So, no amount of clever design can prevent the CrowdStrike sensor from nuking your system if bad security rules get deployed.

For example, if a bad definition file makes it think that the legit libc or win32 libraries are compromised, it should prevent any userspace program from running, which is just as destructive as failing during boot.

That is why appropriate QA is critical for this type of program. I would expect any definition update of any kind to be tested on dozens of systems with a wide variety of Windows configurations and known-good software far before ever being deployed to any customer system. It seems that CrowdStrike thought the exact opposite of this, and in fact their customers were the first to ever run their new code end-to-end, not the last...
