It is bad packet loss, but is the sort of situations that people often find themselves in. Congestion, bad connections (which is a lot of mobile scenarios), satellite comms, and the like and it's a reality.

It's interesting how people often say HTTP/3 only benefits the megas like Google. A few years back I worked on a data centric system (fund administration) where we had a single centralized server cluster serving high value users across the globe. Because of the integration and real-time nature of the data, it wasn't possible to replicate to servers around the world, nor was local (relative to the user) caching of much value at all.

QUIC (which became HTTP/3) proved a significant improvement for users of the system. Users in the UK, Singapore, Australia, Germany, California, and so on, were all using a system in Toronto basically transparently, with great usability. That it was continents away suddenly didn't matter.
After the Edict. But also after the revocation of the Edict.

I suppose one could also say “After the Edict” as if “the Edict” were the period of time it was in effect.

>Most users today would only want to exercise freedom 0, so FOSS really isn't offering them anything that appealing.

I was aiming to address this in my previous post, as a non-programmer user, listing realistic examples that the other freedoms give you. Being able to use software at both home and work, or to share software with a friend without worrying about legal trouble is a benefit I think anyone can appreciate. Lots of software will charge [extra] money for commercial use, limit installs to x number of machines, etc. If you get used to using free software, you can avoid these issues.

Also, while not related to the license exactly, using free software, you'll tend to not run into ads like you do with a lot of freeware. I recommend apps from F-Droid to people with Android phones for this reason a lot. While grabbing a popular file manager or music player from the Play Store often seems to get you an ad-ridden mess, I never run into that with anything from F-Droid.
This is just an anecdote from an anonymous internet account.

I don't necessarily trust Amazon, but I trust anonymous internet accounts far less.

If Amazon does spy this blatantly, it should be easy to verify and reproduce empirically. Has anyone serious done that?
I think a lot of this is missing the point. The features HTTP/3 provides are features of value to datacenter and large scale deployment. Most sites deploying off-the-shelf solutions like nginx or whatever don't care. Most behind-the-reverse-proxy services don't care. So Cloudflare cares about HTTP/3, but their customers mostly don't, except the biggest ones.

Use the tool for the job. If a single-threaded Python server running HTTP/1.1 works for your IT app, then use that. HTTP/3 has nothing to offer you.

Show HN: Maho – modern open source ecommerce platform with Magento roots
Hello everybody! I'm Fabrizio, a long time PHP developer that always loved the open source world. After becoming a full time Magento consultant in 2011, I've being a maintainer for OpenMage for 3.5 years and then started a new project based on that beautiful platform that, I believe, still has a lot to say.

Here's a quick overview of Maho, from August 2024 to our release just a few days ago.

Philosophy

- Leveraging M1's core strengths while removing the technical debt
- Ditching outdated dependencies and optimizing for today's web standards
- Clean project structure with proper dependency management via Composer
- Embracing modern PHP (8.2+) and contemporary frontend practices

Technical Highlights

- Composer-based project structure with full autoload support, no longer you'll have any part of the core in your project's folder/repository
- No prototypejs nor jQuery not ExtJS on the frontend (backend is work in progress
- Native support for AVIF and WebP formats with one-click media storage conversion
- 2FA and PassKey support for the backend
- Self-hosted GDPR-compliant captcha module
- Full SMTP support thanks to symfony/mailer, connect to all major email services like SES, Azure, Mandrill, SendGrid
- Updated frontend layout: retina ready, flexbox, CSS variables, better accessibility via rem units and proper touch target, huge reduction in javascript weight
- Extended usage of SVG with a built-in 5800+ optimized SVG icons library based on tabler/icons, easily includable in phtml files and customizable (stroke/color/size) via CSS
- Built-in extensible CLI tool (Laravel's Artisan style, based on symfony/console)

Where Maho Fits in the Ecommerce Landscape

- Magento2/MageOS: Great for large or enterprise on-premise projects
- Maho: Perfect for medium-to-small on-premise projects looking for a modern, streamlined platform
- OpenMage: Good fit for more conservative projects
- Shopify: Best for medium-to-small SaaS projects

I'd love for you to give Maho a try in the hope to see our project grow with time.
I'm here to answer any of your questions, feedback, or, if you want to contribute, welcome you.

Nope, but I do trust that Intel / Apple companies aren't attempting to trick humans so they can escape confinement.
I had a parallel thought when a loved one was in the hospital. I noticed the nurses were so busy that small requests like an extra blanket were often forgotten entirely. How incredible would it be to have a voice system that would build a task list and capture other notable bits of information that the hospital staff could review on an integrated device (like a phone)?

Sadly, I don't see this ever happening due to the insane number of regulations you'd have to satisfy and the major players in this space only doing it to collect PII.
> Yeah, but why do people still trust corporations?

When most of your time is spent ensuring your material needs are met, then whatever time remains is precious. Telling someone hustling two different "gig economy" jobs sixteen hours per day to give a shit about the long term privacy implications of the stupid smart speaker he got his kid for Christmas is asking… a lot.

This is why change through popular political action peaked in the US in the late 1960s/early 1970s. People, on average, had more leisure time on their hands than ever before. More leisure time ⇒ more time to think, organize, unify, and give a shit beyond the immediate here & now.
For me the really cool thing with these XIAO modules is that they support charging a lithium cell via the USB port directly without any additional circuitry. I have turned one of them into to a wireless doorbell that get recharged via USB-C.
As an Akamai user I already serve all my DASH traffic (video) over http3. Akamai itself return to origin only supports http 1.1 LL-HLS forces me use HTTP2.

The problem here is Akamai really in only supporting HTTP1.1 to the origin.
Cloudfare I think only supports HTTP2 to origin.
Does Fastly yet support QUIC to origin? Does Cloudfront, I could only find information about it supporting QUIC the last mile.

Maybe more CDN support will drive web server support.
I think they mean these intercepting firewall/proxies that many big companies use to spy on their employees don’t work (yet)
Do you have an example of a meaningful breakthrough in that field in the last 25 years?

What's more likely, that we are nearing completion of understanding, or that our approach is misguided and in need of Newtonian revolution of method?
Not especially. The flow is natural, if you will.

- Me: "Do this"

- LLM: "Ok, let me try do this.. nope something's off. Let me try another way".

Occasionally, I do have to abandon a run but in general it seems successful.
I want any theory to predict what actually happens, which is individual dots at detector.

Or at least some clear statement how comes our reality is not like that.

Your registrar is scamming you.

One question I had in college was if learning inhibits our ability to learn new things. We can gain knowledge but is that the same as learning? I'm not sure where the line sits between questioning and obstinance.

Looking back at Theranos, lots of "experts" (at Stanford, etc.) told her her idea was impossible given the small amount of blood but she convinced people she found a way. It was all a fraud but is there a way to do blood testing at that scale? Do we just need people to keep failing and see if anyone ever gets there? Should academia stick to things that aren't known to be "impossible"? I don't have any answers but find it interesting to contemplate.

I agree that you must go through the motions to push to the maximum extent of judicial recourse. But, depending on your threat model, you must be prepared if recourse through the legal framework is not forthcoming. An injunction or favorable determination by a court is of little use if you're dead, for example (lots of other examples of irreversible harm, which needs no enumeration here).

Well, for starters, I guess keeping the "do not send voice recordings" toggle would be a good idea.
The connection to your local tower can have a negligible latency. The connection all the way to the datacenter may take longer. Then, there is congestion sometimes, e.g. around large gatherings of people; it manifests as latency, too.
Only in circles that don’t understand technology and frankly logic. To prove that it’s happening _one_ hacker needs to show that there’s constant flash drive / network traffic while the mic is enabled that also correlates with the entropy in the audio.

Does beginning a submission title with "Genomic study:" provide an air of credibility? As in, before any reference to what is being studied, genomic study is mentioned. I'm actually curious.
> It would be a bombshell revelation and you’d see it everywhere.

What a strange idea. From what I remember about the "privacy nightmare on wheels" disclosure [1], Americans have apparently already consented to being recorded at all times by simply being within range of cameras and microphones in cars they don't own, passengers consent to losing control of their DNA by sitting in the car, etc.

It's better for Europeans for the time being. But short of collaboration with extraterrestrials to beam up millions of New Yorkers for medical experiments next Tuesday, it's pretty hard to imagine at this point that any example of corporate abuse will qualify for "bombshell revelation" ever again. The overton window has well and truly shifted, and most people will basically argue with you that they enjoy the abuse.

Not having to deal with the monstrosity that is ESP-IDF is a huge benefit.
thanks for taking time to write a feedback :)

> That's a false contradistinction: Redis is also disk persisted.

The performance gain mentioned was vs. Redis in memory. so we weren't claiming that Redis can't be persisted (which of course it can), but we were saying that Redis without persistence (which performs faster that with persistence) was still this much slower than HPKV with persistence.
But you're correct that we probably should have been more clear in explaining this :)

>Did you just benchmarked against only single Redis instance and claimed performance win?

Signle node of Redis vs. Single node of HPKV. so it's an apples to apples comparison

>Even if so, how do benchmarks compare against source-available competitor DragonflyDB?

Benchmark with DragonFly coming soon :)

Rather than gatekeeping the quality of being a philosopher, it may be better to criticize the issues with their philosophies.

On the other hand, summarizing news is one of the exact things people have been pushing back on, since AI can misinterpret what happened or outright make stuff up[0] (like saying someone had come out as gay or that someone had won a tournament before it began.)

The slow adoption of QUIC is the result of OpenSSL's refusal to expose the primitives needed by QUIC implementations that already existed in the wild. Instead, they decided to build their own NIH QUIC stack, which after all these years is still not complete.

Fortunately, this recently changed and OpenSSL 3.5 will finally provide an API for third party QUIC stacks.[1] It works differently than all the other existing implementations, as it's push-based instead of pull-based. It remains to be seen what it means for the ecosystem.

Are pre-emptive blanket pardons traditional? I can see how Trump or some future president might abuse that, especially if autopen is allowed so that thousands or even tens of thousands can be pardoned at once to prevent subsequent political lawfare.
Picking Theranos as an example in favor of ignoring conventional wisdom is really a bold choice. I know there are better examples, based on actual results instead of wishful thinking.

Show HN: Optimize manga/comics for eInk Kindle/Kobo/ReMarkable with KCC
Kindle Comic Converter optimizes comics and manga for eink readers like Kindle, Kobo, ReMarkable, and more. Its main feature is various optional image processing steps to look good on eink screens, which have different requirements than normal LCD screens. Supported input formats include folders/CBZ/CBR/PDF of JPG/PNG files and more. Supported output formats include MOBI/AZW3, EPUB, KEPUB, and CBZ.

------

Hey everyone! I'm the current maintainer of KCC since 2023, thanks for using it! I’ve been reading manga on Kindle ever since I got the big 9.7” Kindle DX from 2010 using mangle, and upgraded to the even bigger 10.2” Kindle Scribe 2022 using KCC.

The biggest contributions I've made to KCC are:

added modern macOS support and removed homebrew requirement

ported code to run on native Apple silicon M1 chip and later for a 2x speed boost (qt5->qt6)

free open source windows codesign with SignPath

fixed Kindle Scribe support

and tons of other various features and bug fixes and developer friendly changes

created a legacy Windows 7 build with 300+ downloads…

The biggest community PRs were:

huge 2x speed boosts due to various CPU/IO optimizations

Kobo/Remarkable support.

Enjoy using KCC and let me know if you have any questions!
That is true and it works. Response times however are worse compared to the paid ones. If this is not a concern it works really well.
I've run into production bugs with Go HTTP/2 at multiple different jobs. They are now fixed, but I'm personally not confident that those were the last ones. I could look them up and link them if you're actually curious, but I'm not sure that will be convincing, you can obviously link to bug reports for anything and claim it's unstable, I can only speak of my personal experience.
Can confirm that autocorrect still mentioned my coworker JSON in 2025. (don't remember where though)
They have a lot of ways they could’ve built trust without a full negative burden: which of them, if any, are they doing?

Open sourcing of their watch word and recording features specifically, so people can self-verify it does what it says and that it’s not doing sketchy things?

Hardware lights such that any record functionality past the watch words is visible and verifiable by the end user and it can’t record when not lit?

Local streaming and auditable downloads of the last N hours of input as heard by amazon after watchwords, so you can check for misrecordings and also compare “intended usage” times to observed times, such that you can see that you and Amazon get the same stuff?

If you really wanna go all out, putting in their TOS protections like explicit no-train permissions on passing utterances without intent, or adding an SLA into their subscription to refund subscription and legal costs and to provide explicit legal cause of action, if they were recording when they said they weren’t?

If you explicitly want to promote trust, there are actually a ton of ways to do it, one of them isn’t “remove even more of your existing privacy guardrails”.

There's a huge amount of weapons hidden away in attics, even after several campaigns to get rid of illegal weapons, no questions asked. There's also a huge amount of it in the region (Montenegro, Bosnia). I used to live first in Serbia, then Montenegro.

I've personally been to weddings in both Serbia and Montenegro, in the early-mid 2000s, where they fired full auto weapons with live rounds into the air. AK variants and such. I remember us kids collecting shell casings and stripper clips.

I'd say that it's mostly handguns and hand grenades, some AK and SKS variants, obsolete 40s-50s SMGs given out to territorial defense decades ago, some bolt action rifles and some Zoljas (anti tank rocket) and AP mines from the war.

I remember a guy in Podgorica, Montenegro (local football hooligan and drug dealer) firing a Zolja at a department store at night. He had obtained it for 200 euros in Belgrade, Serbia and "had to try it out". [1]

I also remember them catching a 15 year old with an AK in 2017 in Podgorica, Montenegro. [2]

I loved frequenting the local flea market and you could regularly see stuff like helmets for sale, also some magazines (I remember seeing one for an MP40 or similar SMG). I also witnessed a transaction, a guy buying a small pistol from another guy at the flea market. The gun quickly changed hands and dissapeared in his jacket, but I saw it beyond doubt.

Anything else I could write would just bring into question my credibility, so I'll keep these stories for us who lived through it. It recently happened to me that I started quesioning my childhood memories (age 8 or so), like "did that really happen or did I imagine it", so I asked people I remembered were there with me, and yep it sure as hell did. I even forgot some details and people involved. But I'd have a hard time beleiving it if I heard it.

Also bear in mind that a lot of the people who have these weapons actually support the government and loved Vučić's old party from the 90s. For example, one of the people firing an AK at his son's wedding was a policeman, and his grandson is now a policeman and Vučić sympathiser in Belgrade.

>bump allocate

The term isn't familiar to me, and when I try to look it up I get almost exclusively Rust-related results. I guess you mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Region-based_memory_management , which I grew up calling "pool allocation".
That seems very wrong conclusion. How did you come to that?
> Unity was actually better then GNOME at that time,

+1. Still is.

What Unity really demonstrated to me is that despite the constant "Vim gives me editing at the speed of light" mantra, most Linux users do not in fact know how to drive a Windows-like or Windows-compatible desktop GUI with the keyboard.

Knowing all the keyboard controls for one editor does not help someone with anything else. If anyone is a keen keyboard user and has the time and inclination to learn a single app's keyboard UI, then it's a good use of their time to learn the keyboard UI of the underlying OS.

There is a standard. It works on Windows and has done since I first met Windows in 1988 with Windows 2.01, and it still does. Decades ago most Linux WMs honoured it, and it still works today in Xfce, Metacity, much of LXDE and LXQt, and some of MATE. And in Unity.

Not just simple stuff like Alt+F4 closing a window, but richer stuff like Super+1--9 opens the nth app pinned to the taskbar or panel.

If you use the keyboard, Unity works great and the cosmetic resemblance to Mac OS X can be largely ignored.

If you don't... "OMG it's so different aaaaargh where am I noooooo I hate this!"

GNOME >3 threw keyboard UI in the bin along with 30Y of HCI R&D.

KDE... never bothered to learn to properly replicate Win98 so it invents its own. Or, more typically of KDE, half a dozen slightly different versions.
I think it's less about credibility in general rather than the source of the information. It could have been some sort of archaeological evidence instead.
I have plenty of friends who went down that path. They’ve done very well as lawyers. But suffice it to say that if offered they’d readily trade places.

That's why I wonder, who is this device being sold to?

I do understand why RISC-V appeals to enthusiasts - I've been eyeing a couple RISC-V SBCs to potentially add to my homelab - I just don't understand the form factor. I sure as hell wouldn't carry two tablet/laptop-sized devices with me. Doing systems work in-system is a recipe for bricking the device until you can carry it back home. Doing integration work is much more productive if you can play with a dozen different CSI or DSI peripherals, rather than being stuck with one of each. I linked Chimera specifically to point out they've been building/porting apps thru an emulator, since it was more performant and readily available.

We've already ruled out using it for consuming media, and all but the most basic work. So what kind of hacker/enthusiast stuff can I actually do with this device specifically? It just looks like the worst of all worlds to me?
