I sort of get the idea, but the page doesn't really sell me on what differentiates it from the competition other than being serverless.

Why is this better than Tailscale, Cloudflare tunnels, Mullvad or just running a wireguard bash script on a machine somewhere.

Furthermore, because its severless, does that mean it has more latency than a typical VPN? For example, I know that when I connect to a Mullvad server, my traffic is going to be quite a bit slower than what it had been.

Show HN: Geolede – An interactive world news map
Hello HN! I wanted to share my first web application, Geolede, which presents country-specific news articles and geographical information using an interactive map.

This was born out of personal curiosity while traveling. I was interested in the local news of the area I was visiting, as well as surrounding countries. I went searching online for a fun way to learn about them, but nothing suited exactly what I was looking for, so I tried building it myself.

While functional, this is still a work in progress, and I have some ideas for new features - specifically search functionality. Though every country should have data, some are so small that clicking within their borders is difficult unless you know exactly where to look! I'd also like to get better and more local sources of news.

Happy to hear your thoughts!
> I know that's the conspiracy theory, but shouldn't we be asking for evidence?

No. This is about using reason to anticipate and prevent problems, not dumbly waiting around until the actualized problem stares you in the face and it's too late to do anything about it.

But if you want evidence, all that is needed is the evidence that China and the US are adversaries.
Is AIPAC a foreign agent (are they required to register with the US government as such)?
Just depends on how you define “winning”. Right now both Russia and Ukraine are losing a lot compared to before 2022.
>The government maybe? Whoever gets them, will they shut them down? No, they’ll keep those wells pumping, under some new brand name, because the demand for oil is systemic.

Not to mention a bunch of the biggest oil companies are already government owned:

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

top companies in the list are Sinopec, China National Petroleum Corporation, and Saudi Aramco, all state owned.

I'd have to reimburse them for certain costs, but it'd pay off in the long run, and on top of it, I'd be happier.
The only thing the Court says on the matter is:

>There are reasonable bases to conclude that intermediate scrutiny is appropriate even under these circumstances. We need not, however, definitively decide that question because we conclude the Act “passes muster even under the more demanding standard.”

It's possible that either Judge Ginsburg or Judge Rao think the strict scrutiny should apply, but if forced to put money on it I would say they both land on intermediate scrutiny.
You're writing that on a medium which is social which gets tons of engagement which doesn't have any images.

I don't get it. Surely every single thread that got even modest engagement on HN since the beginning of the place disproves your take?

There's a lot of people summarizing this whole situation as "the candidate who should have won didn't so they cancelled the election". I'm Romanian and I'll provide some more details on this:

The country has been a powder keg ever since the results of first round of the presidential elections, with Calin Georgescu coming out of nowhere to win the first round, with classical polling showing him below 5%.

The candidates need to report spending to a state organization overseeing elections and this guy reported that he spent nothing on his election campaign, which is impossible as there have been flyers with his face on them, plus ads on social media. This is against the law.

There are also a lot of TikTok influencers that have come forward claiming to have received payments through a third party company to present the candidate in a positive light, and the issue is that these videos should have been tagged correctly as "electoral ads" according to Romanian law, which did not happen.

With TikTok being owned by China and their imminent ban looming in the US, there is strong suspicion that state actors are behind this, pushing Calin Georgescu through the algorithm, though this is tricky to prove.

This is not a strong grass-roots movement supporting this guy, it was a targeted effort of massive network of bots spamming his name & tiktok page on random videos on Romanian tiktok videos to push his popularity (this comes from the Romanian equivalent of CIA & other security structures). Tiktok themselves when asked to comment have investigated themselves and found nothing wrong, though they do agree that there are bots on their network and they've removed millions of fake likes & followers in Romania.

In a video posted this summer, Calin Georgescu expressed anti-NATO sentiment which he recanted after winning the first round of the elections. He has also previously declared that we could do with some "russian wisdom" and he's a big fan of the Iron Guard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Guard), which killed a bunch of political figures in Romania during their time. This organization as well as other fascist groups are illegal in Romania.

Candidates have to declare their assets as part of transparency and it seems Calin Georgescu has not declared all of his assets, which is illegal. There's also suspicions about money laundering, with a house he bought for 250K in 2006 and sold for 1M in 2011 which is unusual. This is somewhat besides the current discussion, just adding some context that this guy is not exactly squeaky clean.

A criminal investigation has been requested by The Supreme Council of National Defence, which is the autonomous administrative authority in Romania invested by the Constitution with the task of organising and coordinating, by unanimous decisions, the activities related to the country's defence and national security. This is right now in the first stages with no single person being put under indictment.
> You may prefer non-acid characteristics in your databases in general.

No. Quite the opposite. However the multi-database case strikes me as a very limited edge case, I would be surprised if double digit % users of sqlite even knew it’s an option let alone used it, and the concern is further lessened because afaik things like FKs do not work cross-db.
I so wish I could do this with my old iPhone 8. Has anyone attempted this, successfully?

Has anyone attempted that successfully?

My ideal would be to run *nix on with a web server and NAS. I don't care about borked camera or bluetooth, just wifi would be fine.
This news shows exactly that the constitutional court was not asleep. They took a bold decision.

Running a VPN out of cloud services pretty much guarantees recaptcha prompts at most sites and denied access to most streaming platforms. Plus, paying per-GB adds up fast. If you're trying to evade region restriction or sail the high seas, stay away from cloud providers.

Apparently that's the recommended way from Tesla to do it, per that thread. Do they not make extension cords you can use with the charger cables so you charge from other angles?

This is a bad assumption for the agile premise in many large non tech orgs. Many cases internal tech tools just do not have users with this mindset.

Here’s what I wanted, why isn’t it already this way, go fix it, stop showing me stuff that isn’t done yet.

Or the other flavor where every touch point changes their feature of the week such that you are always behind what they actually want.

It’s entirely possibly to iterate such that no one is happy with delivery.
"seamlessly create a VPN server when you initiate a VPN session, and delete the server when you end the VPN session"

So it's not serverless.

"One license provides you 3 installations"

Fifty bucks for a Docker compose file and it's intentionally crippled to 3 installs?

As an extra special bonus, now my self-hosted ultra-private VPN has telemetry that phones home all the time to track every install??

No thanks.
so someone decided to build around docker + wireguard + a web UI dashboard + use buzzwords like serverless (which it isnt btw) + wrote some third-party API handlers and this is it?
this is how you make $50 (once) per customer?

If this is society then perhaps it should breakdown.
He wasn't exactly super popular before the race, polling below 5% so nobody was really concerned about him, plus the court needs to be called upon to act, as they can't intervene without a complaint being lodged.
Super helpful, going to look into those! I too only care about the fitness part, in an even narrower scope - literally only the usecase mentioned here, giving some VO2max-ish or other "stamina level" number (even if of questionable accuracy) that I can slowly see improve over time to help with motivation.

In some sense less data might be better to make it clearer which number to focus on, so sounds like the Forerunner may be the right fit. The Training Readiness does sound a bit intidimating for someone who's starting from zero (or really, minus), but I can always strategically ignore that ;)

Thank you.
Yep, you can try to counter outside influence if you see at the time but elections are a process for peaceful transition of power first and foremost. If you just throw out the results
of an election you've undermined the only thing they're actually for.

Funny enough, the EU is currently calling the election results in Georgia illegitimate because they passed a similar sort of law (https://www.cfr.org/in-brief/what-georgias-foreign-agent-law...). This is not doing a good job of dispelling the accusation that the media now uses "democracy" as code for outcomes that are desirable for US globalists and their allies.
That's a fair analysis, but I'd argue that you are being too charitable to the US government. I think they simultaneously have legitimate security concerns, but also wish to regain control over some of their narratives w/ respect to foreign policy. But really that's just a matter of opinion.

Sorry, I wasn't really intending my comment to be any kind of criticism of your comment, but more of a kind of humourous (to me anyway) addition.
I've never understood this part of it. There's a disinformation problem on all of these platforms, so why not just kill all of them? The only argument I've seen is basically that it's better for the West to be the ones manipulating people in the West vs. having people in the East manipulating people in the West. And that just doesn't feel like a good argument.
Never bad advice to get your eyes checked, but I may not have described it well enough.

I used to see a similar thing with a flatbed scanner that used RGB LEDs instead of a CFL tube. You could often see the flicker of the PWM signal they were likely using to control the brightness of the LEDs as solid flashes of red, blue, or green.

GP post said: "if you are sensitive for temporal hijinks" - I think I'm just really sensitive to temporal hijinks, especially in my periphery. I suspect most people are, as our eyes have higher concentration of rods to detect movement in our peripheral vision.

I've noticed that the quality of light I get out of a constant current light meant for videography is fantastic and has none of these "temporal hijinks", and I think it's because it simply doesn't flicker.

Still - none of this is said to undermine your good advice.
For how long? Russia isn't doing a mobilization despite needing it because they are afraid of the blacklash.
In my experience dedicated VPN providers aren't really any better in that regard. Their IP addresses have abysmal reputations for exactly the same reason that public cloud IP addresses do, if an IP address is open for bad actors to use then they absolutely will use it.
Ok, how about address logs?

If the provider logs your IP when you connect, they have enough personal information to identify you. Unless you use a real VPN when you connect to the server running your "Serverless VPN".

My reading is that they were evaluating leaders on their introversion/extroversion, intuitiveness, and overall success. So you could have both introverted-intuitive and extroverted-intuitive leaders, and overall, the introverted-intuitive leaders were _more_ successful.
>As Enron and FTX both show well, personal criminal responsibility for high level executives and a "corporate death penalty" already exist and get used when circumstances warrant.

Hardly. Enron and FTX fell because they were insolvent, not because a "corporate death penalty" was levied on them.

I mean, the US cold war had several "real" wars as a result of it. Korea and Vietnam were actual wars with humans shooting at each other, but they're considered part of the "Cold War" because both of them were sort of indirect, since the real enemy was the USSR.

How does one write that with a straight face?
But as comments have said, even acknowledging interference after the fact and rejecting the result is a failure in democracy, because it's ripe for abuse. Thus, the Russian interference has still succeeded.
I don't question people's projects. Creator obviously thinks there was a need and that they could do better than PocketBase. It's the same as asking why BSD when we have Linux. Why Wayland when we have Xorg. Who knows, maybe this will succeed PocketBase. Since when has competition been a bad thing?
The candidate ran a large campaign just days before the election without declaring a campaign budget. It took the services and the constitutional court a few days to figure out what happened and take this decision. Give them some credit, this is not an easy problem to navigate.
I may be missing something, but I thought that each context token would result in an 3 additional parameters per context token for self attention to build its map, since each attention must calculate a value considering all existing context
Shoddy and useless according to who? I take it you haven't been to any of these African countries, where a Chinese-built dam generates the electricity millions use, or where a handful of bridges open up vast stretches of the country for trade.

Speaking of loans, most of Africa (and the developing world's) loans originate from Western lenders. They never cared about the borrower's ability to pay back or the fact that a huge chunk of the capital would be stolen. They'd simply demand payment anyway.

So, how is China responsible for loaning money on the same terms? In which specific cases has China demanded payment or strong-armed governments into making concessions for loans? Just one example, please. And don't mention the Hambantota port since you'll lose any credibility left.

If any African country lets their leaders steal dev. capital, it's not China's fault, and it's not different from what has happened with Western loans. In fact, with Western loans, there's an understanding that it will not get to the people, but is seen as a payoff for the puppet leaders to stay loyal.

China builds usable infrastructure that can be used for decades, and you can't argue against infrastructure.
Yes, the F-35 costs just $34,000 per flight hour.

That's much cheaper than, say, Pat Gelsinger whose total comp was $86,000 per hour in 2021.

Does Romania have the equivalent of US PACs? In the US an organization not related to the campaign/party can receive donations and make flyers, ads, etc.
They only call it interference if it supports the wrong people. Russia taking out ads on Facebook: election interference. Various state sponsored media outlets and foreign politicians and officials disparaging Trump: free speech.

Yeah! We like our organized disinformation campaigns to be made in the USA instead.

It's frankly an embarrassing look for the US if we go through with this on these grounds because we're basically saying we can't weather targeted disinformation and propaganda while simultaneously deploying them in our own house.

You can't make people in the US believe anything. We had the full force of US government pulling every lever they had access to get people to get vaccinated and wear a mask and it still didn't work. Even when (arguably) they had the truth on their side. There's no way we're admitting China outclassed us.
