It might be enough. Google says a human needs 300-550 liters of oxygen a day. That equals to about 6.8-12.4 cubic meters of air for the 3 of them for 36 hours.

The space does seem like it could be large enough to hold that much air, especially if it's compressed a little.
Wrote my own in Elixir, needed some features like auto-star. I'll possibly release it in the future.
Force of organization is an interesting phrase, never heard that before. Reminds me of catalyzing crystal seeds, or how at the quark level mass arises out of information/order/entropy in the complexity sense. The more ordered the heavier it is. (Maybe this is fringe/kook/IANAPhysicist).

I guess before social media there would be other sources of order, churches, political organizations, youth groups. Maybe in the absence of that Twitter is all the revolutionaries had left (but my above conjecture is, there were greater sources of organization in Tunisia, Egypt and elsewhere than that which was legible online. (As an otherwise unaffiliated American I have no way of knowing.)
In the vein of: the web is already decentralized and social by it's nature, I built an RSS reader-and-feed-in-one for Hey Homepage (a DIY website pack that I made). So there's one place for reading posts and for publishing your own posts, just like the timelines from big tech.

Combine that with a list of shared links which functions as a blog roll and consists of the feeds that you follow, and you have yourself a Really Social Site. You can even download the OPML file that contains all the shared links and start following some feeds from it yourself. So discovery is also possible with RSS feeds and OPML lists, albeit it works slightly different than you're used to from big tech.

After that I built a Newspaper module that automatically collects new posts from feeds that I selected. This is my main way to get news without some algorithm deciding for me.
The only wish I have is that more of your personal sits/blogs (most websites I follow come from HN) offer more 'photo feeds', just an enclosure-element in your item with a link to a picture or other media.
Yeah, I mentioned 三体 in a parent comment. It's a great counterpoint to the "high fructose" Netflix version. And interesting to see the American character portrayed by an American actor...dubbed by a Chinese voice actor. (Just be prepared to fast-forward the musical interludes.)
The Hacker News folks do love their RSS. I also added support for RSS[1] to my site when one of my posts hit the front page, and a few people reached out for an RSS link.

I came to the industry way later than the Web 2.0 inception and didn’t even know about it until a while back.

What's the issue you have with high DPI monitors? I've used 3200x1800 14" screens way back (on Fujitsu U904 when that came out: I found a review from 2014 online), 4k 24" Dell when it still required two DP cables for 60Hz, and more recently 4k 14" screens on X1 Carbon: while you need to configure scaling (I prefer 125% or 150% for UI elements, and fonts further increased by a factor of 1.4x), most programs work well with that (including non-native UI peograms like Firefox, LibreOffice or even Emacs).

For a long while there was an issue with multiple monitors which you want to configure with different settings: you couldn't.

I believe that is also fixed today with Wayland but I mostly stick to a single monitor anyway.
I have been using RSS since early 2000s and currently I am settled on Feedly.

> Either the built-in web support is poor or it stops fetching the feeds or renders then poorly.

I guess I am good with Feedly, and Google Reader and everything before that, is because I dont use the RSS Reader to read the content. I am only using RSS as News Headline [1]. And then will either Command Click, Right Click Open New Tab, Simply Click on it, depending on which OS and browser I am using to open them in a new Tab inside Browser.

Which is also the reason why I could end up with hundreds of tabs open. And I read them one by one. For these type of heavy browsing usage I recommend Firefox > Chrome > Safari.

So for my usage I actually think RSS should be a function inside a browser. But I know a lot of people use RSS reader differently.

[1] Which is also how I use Twitter as well. I simply have a list of people I follow and read those list only. So for me I dont ever understand why people are so upset with the For You Tab. But I guess I am the minority and I use it differently.

Have you ever thought about, why eg. teachers choose bad salary and worsening working conditions?

There are many examples that hint to other motivations then simple greed. Over all, cooperation is the foundation of our society.
I was once asked a very similar problem during a job interview for a position of a software engineer. I was offered to solve it on a piece of paper or orally. We ran out of time and they offered me to take it home. I did and I spent a few hours thinking about it. Google and ChatGPT were not able to produce better results than the intuitive answer, so I built a test program that confirmed the weird behaviour. After meditating for a few hours I was able to find the correct answer and I was indeed fascinated by this.
Do you also think it's too much for a usual interview?
Wow, good eye. You can see the PCB is designed to take either magnetics or series caps, but the caps would have to be DNP’ed.

I would actually be really angry to discover a USB Ethernet dongle I bought didn’t have magnetics built in.
Oh, really? My bad. I don't see ads over there.

Auto-discovery for RSS is simple enough to explain here: just put the following code in your head element (at least on the homepage).

To add, there's a huge politically motivated anti-China movement going on right now, to the point where anything Chinese sounds scary or suspicious. This has been going on for years now, but only came to my awareness with the Huawei scare (as of today, no evidence was found that they did come loaded with backdoors and the like - but do correct me if I'm wrong, this is based on what I remember, not researched facts).

I mean I don't trust the Chinese, but neither do I trust the Americans so it's choose your flavour of evil.

Anyway that said, I'm sure it's politically and economically motivated, as for decades China has played catch-up in the global economy and they are rapidly overtaking, with financial interests worldwide. The US is trying to slow them down by trying to keep e.g. chip technology out of their hands, but other than that all they can do is to stop Chinese companies from earning money in the US.
This is cute, but there should be some kind of affordances for wall mounting or hanging it inside a closet. The emphasis on portability is… OK, I guess, but unlikely to ever be relevant for most people doing homelabs.

There’s no adversary here. There’s no ongoing war. In fact, up until the US started imposing restrictions on China, the US was one of China’s largest trade PARTNER.

US social media is banned in China because it doesn’t comply with local censorship laws, nor because it is American. They impose the same censorship on local individuals and organisations too.
Did you also consider a thermionic setup before settling for thermovoltaics? I assume it would be trickier to design and run.
I agree that to succeed RSS must be properly managed right in the browser.
The problem is that it was not properly implemented inside Firefox, so I personaly didn't want to use that system.

What I want is a simple counter that show how many new posts there are of the RSS, and that's it. I only click for new content.

Compared to what?

For cars fires there have been some articles showing there’s not much difference in the amount toxic stuff in the smoke between EVs and ICE. So batteries aren’t that bad.

If we’re talking burning factories I’m sure there are other factories that would emit far more nastier stuff. And some that would be much more benign of course.

So again the question is, compared to what?

I guess I'm thinking of the Guy Fawkes era. I'm scarcely aware of what anonymous means outside of what was reported in mainstream media about it. Now that I think of it that too was a case of one group choosing not to correct anyone when credited with the accomplishments of somebody else. They would produce all these cringe videos about how any day now they'd spill the beans on the powers that be. Kind of a WikiLeaks fan club more than anything.

But you, then, were referencing some other front in the info war with folks that had access to higher tier tools than a Low Orbit Ion Cannon?

And yes plausible deniability goes a long way, perhaps even enabling people to collaborate when they may otherwise be on opposing "sides" as far as states are concerned.
> makes it much harder for them to monetise.

On the other hand, RSS definitely provides extra opportunities to monitise. Imagine your business provides a customisable "offers" feed so you can tell interested parties when a sale occurs, etc. Businesses should be falling over themselves to get that kind of engagement.
> Is Tiktok genuinely manipulated by the CCP

I can't say it's not at all

But I can say it's far beyond CPC's capability, Americans like talking abt CPC like it's some kind of secret darkness powerful villain in Gotham City, no, it's not that good.

If CPC executed any order to a company operated in US by Americans, there'll be clear and strong evidence about it, CPC is not good at hiding schemes, if you didn't see such evidence, it means there's no such thing, at least for now

I configure password login for root on on standard port for all servers I personally control. Moreover, they all have the same root password.

Over the 20+ years, I witnessed a few security incidents. None was related to ssh, let alone a break in via a weak password.

But I ran into many situations when I needed immediate access to the server and this setup saved my day, my money and my nerves.
I allow password from the internet only alongside a TOTP code.. Still gives me a backup in case of unforeseen situations but a step above plain password auth.
While that's true, you'd also expect USB network devices to be standardized and have builtin drivers under all the main operating systems.

Why 5G in the UK is so bad
Not much at all. If you are using a static site generator, they usually support it out of the box.

Recently, one of my posts hit the front page here, and a few people emailed me asking for an RSS[1] feed. It turned out that it was just a simple config update to enable this on Hugo.

Other SSGs usually support it out of the box too. Plus, it’s not too hard to build the XML from your HTML if you want to build it yourself from scratch.

Making things up is inherently vastly cheaper than flighting misinformation.

> how do you know how often to poll?

I would guess a combination of frequency from sitemap.xml, last modified http header, and past heuristics. Previously viewed items would, I think, need to be cached in the client (unless the RSS URL uses some kind of token to identify the user, which sounds ripe for abuse).

Depends on your usecase and preferences, I guess. I have a dedicated PC connected permanently to my TV and amp. During the day I use it listen to webradios, without turning on the TV. For this, I just press play on my remote, and it's on. When I leave, I just press stop. You get the idea.

In the evening, when I watch a movie, it's just my personal preference - I like to kind of disassociate from computers. A remote helps. Also, being able to change the volume blindly, without looking at the remote is something that other interfaces have yet to emulate.

Of course not saying that everyone should use it - if a mouse is better for you, go for it, what do I care :D But remotes definitely have a place with today's HTPCs also IMO.

It goes much further than that: as the name suggests, it's coupled to a specific, obsolete brand of device.
For me it works in Firefox, on mobile that is (didn't try it on desktop). But it worked once. It guessed "spiderme" in ~22000 tries, but ran for longer than my patience allowed (and I'm very patient) on "hderhfsd". For some reason, it correctly guessed up to "hde", started to show some confidence in the following 'r', but then degenerated into hd... Then h... And then started guessing 'o' or 'h' as the first letter more and more.
Yeah I first wanted to use this bug to scan their IP ranges and figure out their internal network (e.g. make requests to 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, and so on). But then I realized that it will hallucinate an answer for every IP it is given :)

RSS can be polled as frequently or infrequently as you like, it's just a bit of XML hosted by a site which lists content or links to content.

Tracking what's been read or not isn't done by the RSS feed or whoever hosts it, it's performed by the user's feed reader, which be just a local app on your phone or PC, or it might be a cloud service, either hosted (like Feedly) or self-hosted (using ie. FreshRSS).

I don’t think you’re keeping in mind what these batteries are replacing.

Coal power plants and gasoline cars release harmful smoke as part of their regular operation.

ICE cars are several times more likely to catch fire than an EV, and contribute much more fuel to a parking garage fire (usually an EV battery caught in a fire will not itself ignite)

And the incidents related to the fossil fuel industry are orders of magnitude worse than incidents like this. Have you forgotten about deep water horizon?

There are also thousands upon thousands of old oil and gas wells in the US that haven’t been properly decommissioned, slowly corroding and leaking nasty stuff in the environment. The cost of properly plugging all of them has been estimated to be in the trillions of dollars.

Is there some name for the kind of fallacy people make where they’re so concerned about the dangers of whatever the new thing is, while completely glossing over the glaring issues of the old thing that’s being replaced because they’re so used to it?

I find it particularly baffling when it comes to EVs vs gasoline cars. People should know how dangerous gasoline is… right? It’s like, super basic knowledge for anyone born the last two centuries..

Maybe we should start asking very single tribe/minority across the world if they want to be independent. We would very quickly find that current states are rather fragile conglomerates sometimes holding together by surprisingly weak forces.

I can see few parts in US for example wanting independence under certain conditions. Or US could have given kurds Kurdistan in the middle east with all that crap it caused in past 2 decades, largely stabilizing (big part of) the region. Clearly not policy US cares about much, so lets stop pretending actual wants or needs of Greenland population are anybody's concern here.

Things like this is exactly why we don't trust US media and data management. This is only just enough close to the truth so it doesn't sound absolutely absurd but still is so far from it.
Urgh sorry EFF but you’ve lost me on this one.

There is actual harm done to democracy on these platforms. A democracy requires informed voters to function and the platform does the diametric opposite by misinforming them. Any attempt to regulate this or promote or moderate has failed simply because an actual structured funding source is misinformation. The only option to keep democracy standing is to kill it.

I’d expect the EFF to have some well read social or political staff. Apparently they don’t and are quite happy to spout absolutes.
I'd say that the only thing that reliably differentiates a _podcast_ from a _radio show_ is just that the podcast's method of delivery is RSS.
If the argument for a password login is being able to log in from anywhere, just store a spare ssh key (password protected) in your gmail or similar that's reasonably safe and accessible from anywhere.

But I'm having hard time imagining those "anywhere" machine scenarios. Strangers machines that you trust enough to connect to your servers, and are able to install putty or your preferred ssh client of choice on? Better just have SSH on your own phone and laptop.
