I think the point is that it builds on existing infrastructure that almost everyone already has in their life. Whether you self-host, use a niche provider, or a mainstream provider, email provides a pretty interoperable starting point which isn't a walled garden and doesn't have to be owned by FAANG.

Are there some compromises? Of course. But creating new accounts, or using new services isn't one of them. Email-speed instant messaging is good enough for me.

And to be honest, as much as I like Matrix, it has plenty of compromise of its own - including speed/reliability when using their own servers.
That's because the point of this article isn't really investigative journalism about this one case and whether or not it actually happened (or at least, it's not only that). It's using that as a jumping off point to inform someone about some of the ways banks operate. If you are not interested in that, then the article isn't for you, but it's not "overwritten".
To be frank, its both societies' and a parents job. But I want to see solutions that don't make me, a free adult show my identification to websites. I will not support for hamfisted legislation that deprive adults of privacy and freedom.
Not much more diverse than the US. Yes, a melting pot, but Europe is now a big melting pot too. The most important axes is City versus rural communities which boils down to rich vs poor. And the USA and Europe are very similar in this way.
I don't see how the anonymity of the maintainers of Librewolf are at all relevant to this discussion. You're just doing a gish gallop argument and undermining your credibility.
Not really. It seems unitree didn't open source anything. Not anything useful.
27. I don't think you do disagree. Read point 29: Hire and rely on product engineers. They have full-stack technical skills needed to build a product along with customer obsession. Yes, this means they need to talk to users, do user interviews, recruit tests for new features, collect feedback, do support, and respond to incidents.
Ukraine does too…
> Let the Ukrainians decide.

With money and military/economic tensions for EU and US ? EU might have some interest in stabilizing the border and preventing future threats, but US literally has no interest there. And the only EU member that possibly had to worry about Russia is Finland, but they are in NATO now.
You may be right, but I think China specifically has learned something from Russia.

Before invading Ukraine, Russia held assets across the world and they were frozen (some of it USD).

Now imagine you are a large holder of US treasuries, would you take some off the table and purchase this other asset (gold) that can ensure you're less susceptible to your enemies sanctions?
We’re using Tailscale for our internal network, and it’s amazing. We’re a team distributed across multiple countries, and with Tailscale, it’s like we’re sitting in a single office, connected to the same router. And on top of that, we get centrally managed ACLs for everyone, TLS certificates, and SSO with Microsoft accounts. Amazing stuff!

My main gripe, though, is DNS. It’s great to be able to reach prod-db-1, prod-db-2, and prod-db-3, tag them as „db“ and create a rule to allow TCP on db:5432. however, it’s annoying that all of this is supported, but not the obvious extension - DNS records for the tags, so I can point apps to a group of servers belonging to the same tag.
Still more expensive than signing up using an Argentinian VPN for ~2EUR/mo (they found out after 2 years and downgraded me - now I’m not paying anything anymore)
> is the exact line of thinking that Hitler used to justify WW2

Hitler argued that he lost WWII because external powers were limiting the Nazis through diplomatic channels?! (Also, since when do we care about how Hitler justified things?)

> Ukraine never had a shot at winning this war

A significant amount of Russia’s naval and air assets were vulnerable to Ukrainian drone and missile fire in ‘22.

> it’s only with massive international support

You mean like the American Revolution, WWI for the Allies, WWII for the Allies and the Cold War for Europe?

I feel like Apple and Ubiquiti have a missed collaboration opportunity on the latter point, especially with the latter's recent UniFi Express unit. It feels like pairing Ubiquiti's kit with Apple's Homekit could benefit both, by making it easier for Homekit users to create new VLANs specifically for Homekit devices, thereby improving security - with Apple dubbing the term, say, "Secure Device Network" or some marketingspeak to make it easier for average consumers to understand. An AppleTV unit could even act as a limited CloudKey for UniFi devices like Access Points, or UniFi Cameras to connect/integrate as Homekit Cameras.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't use that feature (I prefer self-hosting it all myself), but for folks like my family members, it'd be a killer addition to the lineup that makes my life supporting them much easier.
Macron has been advocating for tighter European collaboration for years, insisting that there should be an integrated European army in 2018 and calling NATO "brain-dead" in 2019. The question is whether other European countries want to be integrated, and thus far the answer has been that they do not.
My understanding is that if you can store 1/Nth of the weights in RAM on each of the N nodes then there's no need to send the weights over the network.
Have you even read the comment you're replying to?
I'd prefer that a credible journal do that as that would be even better. Also the idea of "journalists try not to be part of the story" should preclude product testing on verifiable claims is a really bizarre stance to take.

My ISP (USA, Metronet) will give you a static IP (instead of their CGNAT) for $10/mo which I happily pay.

Tailscale is great but direct is always better IMHO.
He's asking if the first world will allow non-rich non-european countries that don't already have nukes to develop nukes while insinuating that there's a racial element (there definitely was historically) to such decisions.

Very handy, thanks again for that.

It's wild that this isn't a thing. As a US citizen, I graduated from a Canadian school and was immediately given a work visa, no questions asked. I never looked into it but I'm surprised that the US doesn't do this.
"What if every country on Earth violated everyone's rights" isn't really much of an argument against standing up to countries that try. If that actually happens then we're all screwed anyway. Until it does actually happen, why roll over and allow it to happen without even trying?
I agree. This wasn't a defense, it was disappointment. In a lot of ways, this is worse than the true believers out there.

Who NEEDS Bitcoin? Sure, lots of people have got in on the speculation, which is really an argument against using it as a currency (can you imagine using a deflationary asset as a countries coin?), but why is there a need? What common use case does Bitcoin make better for the everyday person?

Makes me wonder if I should get the hell out of New York.

Seriously, if someone decides to nuke the US, where would they start? Almost certainly Washington DC and NYC. The US is too big to bomb in its entirety.

Maybe I should move to Boise, Idaho or something. I don't think they're going to get bombed, and it seems nice.

It's called nuclear latency https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_latency

Japan is considered a "paranuclear" state, with complete technical prowess to develop a nuclear weapon quickly, and is sometimes called being "one screwdriver's turn" from the bomb, as it is considered to have the materials and technical capacity to make a nuclear weapon at will.
/r/conservative absolutely bans people that make too many anti-conservative comments.
Even at home, many home wifi routers do not have IPv6 enabled, and there are many in-home devices that still don't support it.

Google's numbers for IPv6 connections used are significantly (about 40%) lower than the percentage of homes and other locations that have IPv6 enabled by their ISP to their location.

Librewolf is judged by its track record of being open source, rapidly fixing security issues, and strict stance on user privacy. Why do people always attack these projects on "Hacker" News?
Is there any simple FOSS alternative to tailscale that you can self-host?

The only thing I need is to simply connect to the home network and I dont want to need to open and forward ports etc in routers and firewalls for it to work, just something simple plug and play and is secure.
Ah, so if doing this once can net tens of millions, all we have to do is repeat the process a few million times, and the national debt is covered. That's where automation comes in.
No, we don't have that feature yet. Users can vouch for [dead] posts, but that's not the same thing as [flagged].
You know the more I think about it, the more I consider that even without US support, their primary adversary has already demonstrated their impotence as an offensive military power. Maybe they simply don't need to do much more than they're already doing.

Yes, it's ridiculous. They should really only grade-skip in math after giving the student take-home exercises during the current year that will serve as a replacement for the skipped grade. It's irresponsible to do otherwise, imo.
The same argument applies to gold i.e. governments and central banks buying gold is just like a hedge fund making bets while paying off gold retail holders with taxpayer money.

This is Status Quo Bias.

If you accept that Bitcoin, like gold, is a hedge against devaluing currency, then it makes sense for China or US to stock up on Bitcoin just like they stock up on gold.

Unlike gold, Bitcoin has a non-zero chance to supplant (or at least become a viable alternative to) US dollar as a global currency. In which case it's strategic for a country to own as much of such asset as possible.
"Would be a run on the pound" is forecasting, just like expecting that Brexit will eventually be neutral or slightly positive. The article reports agreement on past/present facts.
>UK users would not be beholden to Apple for E2EE if their clients had legitimate alternatives to the first-party iCloud service.

Any sufficiently popular alternative would be subject to the same issue: you can't backdoor encryption without making it insecure.

Your framing of this seems to blame Apple, and I don't understand why.
Advertising has gotten out of control. What's bizarre to me is that the people violating us are literally the ones who want something from us. Is there no way to boycott anyone advertising in our car? AND the car itself of course.

It is a bluff putin is continuously repeating. Because he knows western countries are eager to bite.

Look: at this moment Ukraine is using western arms to occupy part of Russia. What putin did? Same as before occupation.

Strategic bombings of oil refineries - no changes in putin actions.

This is actually the only language Russians understand: strong actions to show power.
It really depends on the specific story. I agree that most of those threads are as you describe.
In the US most places have a little reader thing that scans the barcode and tells you how much you’ve won. This helps cut down on the time it takes the cashier to scan each one. You know instantly if you’re a winner, no need to look at symbols.

For a visual version of the above. Go check out Mr Beast’s video where they scratch off 1,000,000 dollars worth of scratch offs. The ending wasn’t surprising to me but may be to some.
Eh? CGNAT is purely a cost saving measure. I have no idea who would try and run a pure IPv6 network for (i assume given Roku etc) home use and then get mad that some stuff doesn't support IPv4.

The 71% is almost certainly because Roku consumes a lot more bandwidth doing video streaming than the other services. Even if Roku did support it I'm sure the users wouldn't be happy that xx% of the web was unreachable.
I have a brother printer. I swapped out OEM toner for 3rd party. The printer stopped working with a mysterious error message. Support told me to replace with geniune toner. Taking the DRM chip off my empty (OEM) cartridge and installing into the 3rd part cartridge fixed the issue (and it has remained fixed for many months at this point).

Brother is lying. It might be that not all of their printers have this restriction. But I do not see another explanation for my experience other than DRM locking of the printer.

-edit- I experienced this with both a HL-L2350DW and an MFC-L2690DW

AI winter means ChatGPT is a figure of our collective imagination or that past performance doesn't predict future returns or the rate of scientific developments?

Maybe you have a real thought on that instead of an arbitrary comparison of numbers that don't really relate.. I.e. Quantum research investment would be at least be a faith number that says something about the number of believers in something. What that has to do with the possibility that it falls apart I don't know.
This is what I love about Fossil[1]. You get all of those extra tools (wiki, chat, forums, bug tracker) in the server that is also in the binary that you use to manage the repo.

So, if you want to serve it, just `fossil server file.fossil` or serve a whole directory of them. Or, if you want, you can just `fossil ui` and muck around yourself, locally. The server supports SSH and HTTPS interactions for cloning and pushing.

All by the same people who make SQLite, Pikchr, and more.

>> I had some $115k at the time in it.

I'm sorry, but you are an order of magnitude out of touch with the average American consumer. Average savings balance under the age of 64 is below $73k.[1] Median savings is below $9k. Most people will, outside of their retirement savings, never have access to an account that has over $100,000 in it.

Never.

Not one day in their life.

Median household income is $80k/yr.[2] Personal savings rate is under 5%.[3] As is noted in the title of the article, there are two Americas.

This is awesome! A good weekend project for me. :-) I see an old phone I have supported on LineageOS.

I am assuming once the alternate OS is flashed, there is no way of going back to the original? Or would a factory reset get the original back?

A game of learning your homelab into a cyberpunk mystery adventure
From the author on r/selfhosted:
Ever set up a bunch of services, then completely forget how your network is configured a month later? I got tired of boring documentation - cause I didn't do it, and I built Network Chronicles - a "game" that turns exploring your infrastructure into solving the mystery of a missing sysadmin. The rest of this I summarized with the bot from my game:

The game hooks into your shell and turns normal Linux commands into game actions:

Run ip route → "You've discovered the network gateway! +25 XP"

Check log files → Find cryptic messages from the missing admin

Run nmap on your network → Unlock a new area in the mystery

As you explore, the game builds documentation of your setup while advancing the story. Everything is represented with retro terminal UI - no graphics, just ASCII art and styled text.

What it looks like in practice:

You get mysterious messages from "The Architect" (the missing admin)

Your shell prompt shows your level and current quest

Running normal commands sometimes triggers discoveries

An in-game journal records everything you learn

Challenge scripts create puzzles that teach Linux skills

The core idea: What if documenting your homelab felt like playing Hacknet or Uplink instead of writing a technical manual?

The real magic: It actually integrates with your REAL infrastructure. If you have services on specific ports, the game will incorporate them into the story and challenges.

This is a personal project I've been working on - not publicly available yet, mostly due to hardware constraints on running multiple models simultaneously; but I'd love to know: Would something like this motivate you to better understand and document your setup? What features would make it valuable to you?

EDIT/UPDATE: How do I stress that this is way way under-developed and in development and not advisable for you to install just yet? I guess the best way is to provide a link. https://github.com/Fimeg/NetworkChronicles

This is CONCEPT. Its what I always wanted my tech to do. It's hardly feature complete - at best alpha 0.0.4
To gain a FULL understanding of what this might be - see the premise file: https://github.com/Fimeg/NetworkChronicles/blob/main/premise...

The alternative is to allow this site to burn itself to a crisp, an irreversible outcome.

Perhaps you think the this-time-is-differentness of this time is different enough to justify it, but (a) none of us can actually know that in advance, (b) the impact of getting it wrong is existential (if one can use that word about a relatively trivial thing like an internet forum), (c) people have often said such things in the past and it's clear that we were right not to pull the plug when they did, and (d) my job hasn't changed.

Can they take the car back? I'd want to return it. No one should reasonably be expected to ask if their car is going to shove ads in their face before buying. Was this something they saw during test drives?

> But the point about Europe is right, but only in the sense that Europeans don't pay nearly as much in income taxes as most Americans think they do.

Why do you say this? Middle class Europeans pay significantly higher taxes than middle class Americans.
This sounds like a great sob story but it's more like "people who aren't competent to run an ISP attempted to cut corners and encountered the inevitable consequences".
Similar to how you would use keepalived to get a virtual IP and broker between addresses under it?

One of the hardest problems you can face is getting a community of disparate developers to do the right thing at scale; sometimes the easiest solution for that is a monolithic integrated blob.
I got put into some “smart kid” activities in grade school, but as a poor kid with zero advice from parents, I really had no idea what to do with it.

No one told me that math is really 90% about writing proofs, all those homework problems I did were just the weed-out stuff, the academic equivalent of Leetcode.

So when I got put into some “real” academic math as a teen, I crashed and burned hard. I didn’t have a tutor and it never would have occurred to me to ask for one, so that was that.

When I was 18 years old in my first year of college, after my first semester grades came in, a guidance counselor set up a 1-on-1 with me to talk about the Rhodes Scholarship process and what my research interests were.

My response was: 1) what the heck is a Rhodes Scholarship and 2) how could I possibly have “research interests” as an 18 year old college freshman.

That was the final chapter of society considering me “gifted”, but it was just as well, I couldn’t imagine any greater success beyond getting a job and being able to afford my own apartment.
I don't know Brother, but Xerox and HP do their own toner/ink R&D and both have in-house labs.

Inks are not "simple science". I don't object people using 3rd party replacements, but if/when quality goes down with 3rd party refills, blaming the manufacturer is the easy way out.

I prefer to use original cartridges because even if my printer's color inks are dye based, they do not fade and change colors after 5+ years under normal conditions (I print photos with it sometimes), and I don't know the dye/pigment quality of the 3rd party cartridges yet alone their color rendering.

Heck, even something relatively simple like fountain pen inks have thousand different properties, and they all behave slightly differently. Some inks do not work well with some pens, even.

Everybody has their favorite pen, without even noticing, too.

Thinking that a much more complex assembly to work as equal to its first part counterpart is a bit optimistic. Esp. if you're going for the cheapest.
