I have been using (and self-hosting) Umami for 3 websites for the better of a year. While good for my use-case, which is just having some 'fun' insights of how many visits my pages get and where that traffic is coming from, it's mostly aimed at my profile I reckon. Would never use it for a business purpose. Also the UI is somewhat immature still.

So all in all: total fan, otherwise I wouldn't be using it, but it's fairly limited in what it can do.
I moved away from Kobo because of the ancient USB port, and got my PocketBook with USB-C four years ago, and I am still using the PocketBook.

With USB-C, Kobo would be a very good product. I guess they use it now.

Same. The blog says, "Download & Transfer via USB" option will no longer be available, but "You can continue to sideload e-books on your Kindle via USB cable".

What is the difference? How is sideloading different from normal USB Transfer?
I don't know if it still works, but the last time I checked it was possible to un-DRM (de-DRM?), and convert amazon format to normal epub, and read it everywhere

As a Western Europe based, peace loving, tolerant, introvert software dev I'm highly worried by what's happening in the world but at the same time feel totally powerless (I admit to be - for now - selfish enough to not be willing to jeopardise my family and career above this worry).

The frustrating thing is that there must be so many 'of us' and I can't help but think 'we' should organize. Not sure if this (blog) could be a starting point for that?
Same here. My self-hosted instance is broken right now and I've not been able to find time to fix it. The pace of change was easy to keep up with when it was just 1 guy.

Why not just suspend payments if there is no traceable information of someone's personal activities - like credit card transactions - in some time, say a year, and then if the person is alive they just need to call a hotline if they stop getting payments, prove they are still alive, and have them reinstated?
Ok, based wage gains for the poorest segment. What about those who lose? Because Uber makes a ton of money while it's still cheaper to take an Uber than a taxi. Someone, somewhere has to lose, right?

Now imagine they did not abuse the drivers... it would possibly be even better for the poorest segment!
Bluesky is owned by cryptocurrency grifters. It's disheartening to see people flock to it like it's the greener pasture.

At best it's less toxic, but only marginally. They implemented even more dunk mechanisms that X has, so it's primed to be a terrible place long-term.

User-owned, federated social media is absolutely the safest bet if you want low toxicity and freedom from corporate control.
Have you tried the similar tools as well like matomo?

It is a valid criticism of VC backed tech, awash with free money and able to operate below the margins of other rental firms, thereby forcing them out of business. It is also a valid criticism of tech firms that decide they can disrupt a market by pretending the rules don't apply to them. That is until the law catches up with them, by which time they have degraded their competition.

We all know that Musk is not someone with a strong commitment to the truth. We all know he's a grifter. How long has FSD been coming now? What was the deal with the diver?

But so much of these DOGE criticisms are simply reflexive "Musk bad." There is no a priori reason why it's unlikely that a small amount of people are being paid benefits out of a byzantine bureaucratic system that's almost a hundred years old.

Just a few years ago, I was listening to a story on NPR about SSI fraud (also administered by the SSA) and how common it was. Now, apparently we're all convinced all government agencies contain approximately zero fraud, or at least detectable-by-Musk fraud, simply because it's the cause du jour. It's totally bizarre to read these HN stories (I flag most of them) and people are making totally unfounded claims on the processes, controls, and operation of government IT systems, apparently assuming they are just as good as what exists at Meta or Google. Well, I have personal experience, and maybe my program was an outlier, but these people seem to have extremely rosy expectations, and often have no idea how the government works even in theory ("there's an IG to find things like this!").

It's really exhausting and disappointing. DOGE can be a misguided operation run by a grifter that misreports findings and will never save the amount of money promised and a lot of stuff in the government can be awful, missing even basic controls.

>> Assuming that anyone in the government still cares.

Schneier hits the mark here.

Government only works at all if people care.

And if you tell someone that their job, and the organisation they work for - are of no value - then those people won't care any more.

I don't know what the outcome would be of large swathes of the government either being fired or not caring any more but we're going to find out and I don't think it will be good.

Or maybe not, maybe Trump and whathisname are right and government really is a complete waste of money. In which case there will be great money savings and the USA will be the better for it.
Whatever you're cooking up, I wish you luck! My life would be significantly easier if I could just completely ignore one network protocol, be that v4 or v6. So far I have mostly just ignored v6 and everything I do uses v4, but I have no strong preference (except that v4 addresses fit in my brain while v6 addresses do not, which is honestly a not-insignificant reason why v6 is hard)
It really does feel like this is the end of the US as the dominating super power and world police.

Who wants to buy weapons from the US when you won't get permission to use them to defend themselves?

Who wants to make deals with the US when they will just get torn up and the US will even threaten their allies with economic sanctions and even invasion?

Who in their right mind will lean on the US to protect them, when they're showing how incompetent and unreliable they are?

The answer is obvious.
Twitter was a net positive for many. Millions of people around the world relied on it for timely news and updates in the absence of other avenues. This was particularly pertinent in places like Africa where state infrastructure wasn't able to provide or indeed, the middle east, where censorship prevented accurate news being disseminated.

So your assertion that "Twitter was _never_ a net positive for anyone" is not only false but an absurdly biased and frankly wrong view on how the world accesses information.

Also, the Arab spring overthrew several decades-long brutal dictatorships. Given that overthrowing The Taliban (lol) and Saddam is hailed as a positive of the trillions of dollars and millions of lives spent on the GWOT, at least give the people of the Middle East the courtesy of acknowledging the overthrow of Ben Ali, Assad, Mubarak and Gaddafi.

Bluesky is neither decentralised nor federated.

I wouldn't let that stop you from signing up for bluesky -- in my experience it is definitely the best of the options for a twitter alternative -- but you should know exactly what it is you're getting into before you get into it.

Pippo: High-Resolution Multi-View Humans from a Single Image
We present Pippo, a generative model capable of producing 1K resolution dense turnaround videos of a person from a single casually clicked photo. Pippo is a multi-view diffusion transformer and does not require any additional inputs - e.g., a fitted parametric model or camera parameters of the input image. We pre-train Pippo on 3B human images without captions, and conduct multi-view mid-training and post-training on studio captured humans. During mid-training, to quickly absorb the studio dataset, we denoise several (up to 48) views at low-resolution, and encode target cameras coarsely using a shallow MLP. During post-training, we denoise fewer views at high-resolution and use pixel-aligned controls (e.g., Spatial anchor and Plucker rays) to enable 3D consistent generations. At inference, we propose an attention biasing technique that allows Pippo to simultaneously generate greater than 5 times as many views as seen during training. Finally, we also introduce an improved metric to evaluate 3D consistency of multi-view generations, and show that Pippo outperforms existing works on multi-view human generation from a single image.
The point is that social media was used by people to connect and organise which led to the overthrow of a number of dictators/military junta.

What has happened since is the old order has mostly reasserted itself - with a clamp down on social media, and mechanisms put in place to cut access if things get too fiesty.

Take Egypt - they kicked out a miltary juntu - forced elections - then the 'wrong' people won the elections and the military took over again, clamped down on the media and are in still in place today ( president has been in power for 10+ years with no signs of stepping down ) - and they are so representative of the people that the US think they might be able to persuade the Egyptian leader to take part in ethnic cleansing of it's neighbour.

Whether that's a good thing depends on whether you think people like el-Sisi know what's best for their country, whether the people agree or not.

I have checked them out and decided not to go with it since it was overkill for my situation. Like I said, I don't need a whole lot more than visits, geo, referrer, and track events[1] which work really nicely. If I ever do need a GA4 alternative for 'serious' purposes though, I might consider Matomo as it seems a lot more complete.

Yup. Basically that and the president being the executor of laws and having a standing army that he is chief of … effectively makes him a king. Especially since Congress is bought and paid for and won’t impeach him.
Yeah, we also use the delta. However, you can send a custom event on close to update the session duration. The session won't be counted as bounced in our system then and the time is updated.

In most cases it does work and there are no problems. But especially medium-sized businesses who run their own email through some crappy mailfiltering middlebox file anything that comes from or through an IPv6 endpoint to spam.

I don't understand your question. I meant IP address reputation, which is what many mail filtering systems use to estimate spam probability or outright reject email. See for example https://www.spamhaus.org/ip-reputation/
Great news for Iran, which might not need to assemble its own nuclear warheads and instead could buy them off some shady salesperson in Bulgaria once they've been pilfered from the US.
Well, Instagram never claimed to be a free speech network. Also Instagram is covered with content that sexually exploits children, and Telegram links to CSAM were pretty common.

Given that Telegram has very publicly failed at that kind of moderation, it is pretty defensible to block it. If only they would do something about the weirdo Instagram mommies that flood the network with pictures of their preteen daughters in swimsuit and leotards... It's gross what some people do for anything resembling Internet clout.

Good point, and I strongly hold if you can explain something by incompetence, it's profoundly more likely to be true than cunning.

My heart rate would also go up quickly for the first few months. I would slow down and still find myself at a threshold level effort. After 3-4 months of consistent efforts my heart rate started to come down and I would only reach threshold if really pushing it. It may be that you need to slow down and give your body time to adjust. I also bike and for a long time there was a huge disparity in my on bike performance compared to my running performance. However, over time my running performance has improved a lot and I finally developed an easy gear.

I’m still slow when running, but then my goal is just to be able to run and not get injured. I built from 5k, to 10k and now can complete half marathon races on trails, which is a lot of fun. I’m a big advocate for minimal footwear and building strong feet. We are born to run, but modern footwear is silly.
> Measurement choice impacts the field equations, because you are field equations too.

This sounds nice, but doesn't actually work if you try to apply it in practice, because however many experiments you'll perform on classical objects, you'll only ever observe properties for one basis of measurement, whereas you'll get different results for different bases for quantum objects.

In other words, how come when I observe a single atom, I can see it in a state like (1/sqrt(2))|spin up> + (1/sqrt(2))|spin down>, but I can never observe a basket ball in a similar state? If it were just a matter of my field equations happening to only match certain kinds of states, that should apply exactly as much to a single atom as it would to ~6,022*10^23 atoms.

Feel free to replace "NAT" with "the kind of NAT that permits you to share an address between multiple devices" if you feel the need to be pointlessly pedantic about it. The point is that any device that allows sharing a single IP between multiple devices will necessarily implement connection tracking, and will therefore be capable of functioning as a firewall.

(Are you going to point out that statelessly blocking a fixed IP range used to be called "firewalling" so a device without connection tracking can still technically be a "firewall" next?)

> yet very few even manage to find one that lasts more than a few years? [...]

> The first few years tend to feel perfect for most relationships, even those that turn really sour after that. I would wait at least 10 years to reach any conclusions.

In my opinion that's mostly because labor gets in the way. Once you perceive relationship I'm terms of labor you no longer ask yourself "am I happy?". You ask yourself "am I getting screwed?" and since it's superhard to balance things that don't innately tend to equilibrium there's always some imbalance which brings resentment. In this framework lasting relationships are only the ones where both parties are feeling like they are getting at least 110% of what they are putting in. But since it's reevaluated constantly and economics and attraction evolves it still most often eventually lands on less than 100% for one or both parties which breeds resentment and makes the relationship fall apart through negative interactions.

Labor actually harms relationships because while it might raise the evaluation of what the other person is getting from you it also rises the evaluation of how much you are putting in which might make your perceived return drop below 100%.

When you abandon the concept of labor you do things for yourself and if those things happen to be benefitting the other person enough so that being with you is easier than being alone they will stay in that relationship. And the other way around. It still may fall apart of course at any point if you doing things for yourself starts making the life of the other person harder than it would be if they were apart from you. But at least you don't have this narrative layer of being responsible or indebted to each other which makes not only relationship more amicable but also severing it. That kind of hostility that you see in divorce is what happens to people brains when perceptions of unsettled debt are involved. This state of mind can turn perfectly ordinary people into vindictive monsters.

> If you did find a perfect partner: how long have you been together?

14 years, she wasn't perfect but she instinctively had the right framework and taught me it through living it with me, I sort of investigated it, distilled and verbalized it since she was gone

Since our relationship didn't involve labor it only got stronger with time. It was never off balance because no one was keeping score. And when you are living with other person having positive interactions with them your brain includes their benefit in your own reward circuits. This can also happen in transactional relationships but I believe labor narrative gets in the way. You don't like the smell of your nice car so much if you believe to be overpaying for it 25%.

If you're interested about what I have to say about relationships or for more context please check my response to a sibling comment.
I think the rich are using culture ways to deflect attention away from that conversation. Americans have the richest people in government positions now, the most wealthiest cabinet ever assembled. They literally took over the government to make sure they fixed the debt problem without them having to pay for it and are attacking their own people. They literally elected a billionaire (though only recently) to lead their country. Thats how much they got played.

The fact remains, America needs to fix its debt problem. Its either through the rich or through the people. The rich seems to have their way at the moment.
