I knew those protests were going to fail as soon as I heard on the news that police were throwing down their weapons and joining the protesters.

The way to defeat a dictator is not by painting yourself as a defenseless victim. (That is only useful as the first step to gain support.) The way is to show him you have a greater potential for violence than him and if he doesn't flee, he will be punished (usually killed, sometimes tortured first).

They had huge numbers and if at least some police were on their side they were on the right track to escalating the threat of violence. At some point the dictator would have either broken or the violence would have materialized. But that requires the good people to keep their weapons and use them.
They always list it in the line items and in the renewal but whatever. In fact, it looks like I forgot to turn on auto-renew on their domain privacy product so it's sitting there in the 'grace' period. They work as a registrar so I use it.
I get the joke, but whois is super valuable for abuse report contact and for registrar and even ip block info!

One motif of Allinsky's message is the importance of organisation. Triggering tear gas against your peaceful protest is one thing. Losing control of it such that stores start getting looted is not.

> It may be that this protest in Serbia got a bit rowdy and riotous (see "diversity of tactics") and now the headline is about the government's use of a disproportionate weapon against protestors

This is the first-order effect. They got a tweet. (Not a headline.)

I'm sceptical they'll get a second because this isn't a clear case of a nonlethal weapon being used against a peaceful crowd, it's something more muddled, and as a result there are zero comments in this thread discussing what the protesters are protesting.

So a bit of background - generally techy young guy who's done a bit of everything from web development to getting deep into LFS/remixing Arch Linux to rock climbing and shooting. I was trained as a 25U Signal Support Specialist in the US Army and got my first dip into RF communications there, though we focused primarily on using the systems, not necessarily the theory behind them.

Fast forward a couple years, and I was told to study for and take a test to become certified and get into HF as there were a slew of contests coming up I could help out with (Winter field day, state QSO party, etc.) Coincidentally, I was asked to teach a class for my company and spearhead radio maintenance for the unit the same day I got my Technician license, which, after doing a week-long deep dive into the FCC's test, helped a lot.

So yes, I am now certified as a Technician in the US (Callsign KR4AUW, [1]) and am working on upgrading to General class at the end of the month. It's been good to get back into radio stuff after being focused on an IT help desk, and nearly 100% of the material carries over to better job performance. Plus it's a good hobby, and it's shown me what valuable training is out there, primarily RACES, SKYWARN, and the FEMA incident response method.

If you `ping`, your recursive resolve (like Google DNS, or your ISP DNS servers) will do the recursive lookup for you.

WHOIS data are irrelavant to resolving the host IP address. The SOA will be used to find the primary name server (for an AXFR lookup perhaps), but generally, each NS entry will work in a round-robin fashion and SOA isn't queried.

Most resolves just ignore duplicate records, but I imagine some resolvers may change the "odds" to likely pick the duplicated NS entry.

Finally, most authorative resolvers do not want to spend resources on ANY queries and almost always don't return all records, or like you saw, do not de-duplicate answers.

I read the analysis. I think he's being far too dismissive of the doctrinal considerations in his analysis. Frankly, he is also not an expert on modern warfare in any way, too.

There is a good book called "eating soup with a knife" (and the author has given talks on this) that talks about the importance of doctrine and culture in constructing a fighting force (in this case, the book is mostly about counterinsurgency doctrine and how the American and British militaries are uniquely unsuited to it). An American-style doctrine simply does not work in Russia, even given unlimited resources, because of how the culture and the military work. The weapons are then built to fit the doctrine, not the other way around.

In other words, the "static system" actually is the way to get the Russian military (and the Ukrainian military) to work. That difference in doctrine, by the way, caused a lot of headaches because US weapons are not made for it.
AIUI the main limitation with early PC graphics was (1) it was a dumb framebuffer and (2) bandwidth from the system to said framebuffer was too low to replace the entire screen in a single frame. This only really got solved comprehensively in the late 1990s or so, hence prior to that timeframe you were always more or less relying on some kind of "trick" to achieve smooth video output.
They've had stuff in the OS to hook into Microsoft's data centers in Windows since Active Desktop, MSN Messenger, Microsoft Passport, Hearts Network, and more.
In practice it will round-robin because all of those guys have the same performance characteristics but through whoever else is upstream of you in the DNS chain. The SOA isn't used for resolution so it doesn't matter there.
National stockpiles also include known resources .. material that has been sufficiently sampled and measured to have a well enough known to near certainty layout of various densities of the ore of interest ..

Resolution Copper counts to some as part of the USofA national stockpile of copper, albeit as yet unmined, contested for environmental and native title reasons, and with mineral leases held by a transnational company.

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

Rio Tinto has reported an inferred resource of 1.624 billion tonnes containing 1.47 percent copper and 0.037 percent molybdenum at depths exceeding 1,300 metres (0.81 mi).

The proposed mine is one of the largest copper resources in North America.

Following the passage of the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act, many Native American and conservation groups oppose the copper mine because it will destroy the area above Oak Flat and around the deposit.
It's much cheaper. Read the book "The Dead Hand" for details.

Yeah, as I said in most way things are better now than they were in the rose-tinted memories of the late 90's and early 2000's. Now if you want to say something on the internet, you can open up a Substack, or a Bluesky, or a Medium, or you can find a niche Subreddit. You don't need to know anything very technical, and that's a good thing.

I'll acknowledge that the old web was ugly, even at the time. I guess I just liked how much of it was, for lack of a better word, "custom". Most people were pretty bad at HTML, common web standards really hadn't caught out outside of "make it work in Internet Explorer", and CSS really hadn't caught on, so people glued together websites the best that they could.

Most websites looked pretty bad, but they were genuine. They didn't feel like some corporation built them, they felt like they were made by actual humans, and a lot of the time, actual children. I was one of those children.

I posted about this a week ago [1], but my first foray into programming was making crappy websites. It felt cool to me that a nine year old could make and publish a website, just like the grownups could. I didn't know anything about style so I had bright green backgrounds and used marquee tags and blink tags and I believe I had a midi of the X-files theme song playing in the background.

I guess it's the same sentimentality that I have when I look at a child's terrible drawing or reading one of my old terrible essays I wrote when I was eleven years old that my mom kept around. They're bad, they're embarrassing, but they're also kind of charming.

Thanks! Do you know why the name servers are part of the WHOIS data?

Same question for SOA record. If the NS entries are used in a round-robin fashion, why is the name server present in SOA record too?

>Ironically, many Free Software projects are almost indistinguishable from "look but no touch" software - while in theory you can make changes, in practice you can't because contributing to it is next to impossible and the project structure basically spells the definition of NIMBYism out.

These projects still allow you to make those changes locally - and that's the entire point. FOSS has never guaranteed that your changes would be incorporated by anyone else, distributed by anyone else, or recognized as legitimate or valuable by anyone else.

We're just vastly more conscious of that in the 2020s, in our era of internet celebrities.

>There's a strange dynamic here where if you want to earn money from your project, then FOSS is not a business model, but if a megacorp wants to earn money from your project, then it's okay because everyone wins and you don't lose anyway. Or something like that.

You're perfectly permitted to charge for the software, just as the megacorp is. The fact that people are willing to pay the megacorp for it and not you is unrelated to FOSS philosophy.

>The Free Software movement rejected all ideas which could have contributed to a solution to the ecosystem thriving - non-commercial licences, usage-based licences, dual-licences (in the sense of different terms applying to different users) and countless other things in favour of strict textual interpretation of founding principles

There is actual philosophy behind these principles, not just literal dogma. For example, applying different terms to different users requires them to agree to a different license because that's kinda just how law works, and you can't withhold the option of the OSI-approved licenses from anyone because non-discrimination is part of the philosophy.
Goodness this is such a perfect response.

Seeing more and more of this now, where even in "these parts" anything short of "AGI IS HERE" even a few months ago would have you labelled as "Luddite" "skeptic" and "left behind".

When is the general public going to start asking questions? It's really not a game--people's 401ks have been propped up by the "Magnificent Seven" (disproportionately by one company) for some time now.

I fully support targeted use of violence against oppressors and aggressors but it needs to be said that materialized (as opposed to threatened/implied) violence only works if you are able to deliver sufficient amounts of it.

Up until that point you need to paint yourself as the victim (the just/right/good side) to get more support to deliver more violence later what the time comes to materialize it.

Premature materialization leads to the oppressor/aggressor painting _himself_ as the victim and you as the aggressor. And because most people are uninformed, not terribly intelligent and conditioned to prefer peace over justice, they are more likely to take his side.
> In practice it will round-robin

Which data though? Is it the WHOIS name server data that is used for round-robin? Or the DNS NS record data?

Do you know why the name server is present in SOA if it isn't used?
And the fact that authoritarianism is on the rise everywhere means the ruling oligarchs KNOW it.

> If the authorities are willing to point something that permanently damages hearing at thousands of people in the name of "crowd control" or "protecting property" then they don't deserve to be the authorities anymore

There are absolutely riots where deploying such a weapon would be justified. On one hand, you have loss of hearing. On the other hand, you have the possibility of loss of life. It has to come from the perspective of protecting the people, including those who are rioting, which is a difficult judgement call to make in any case.

> Rural people who aren't poor still live there because... it's their home. You don't just decide move away from your family, friends, support structure, and entire way of life, because you want easier access to a pharmacy.

It absolutely is all of that. It's also the money. $10k in flames is the low end of an interstate move. Supporting yourself and arranging all the pieces (ex:training) into a job that pays the bills - maybe quadruple that. Maybe more.

And all of that assumes luck.
"Non Plus Ultra"

Firebase, is basically a back-end server in a box. Authentication, check, file storage , check. Databases, check. Firebase functions which allow for complex logic written in JavaScript, check. Hosting, check. Supabase comes really close, but has been much more difficult in actual use.

I'm working on a fully open source game right now, and I can't ethically tell people to hook into a closed source service. But I must admit, having to use supabase instead of firebase has made this much harder than it needs to be.

It won't allocate in this case because it's still a vec of foo at the end, so we know it has enough space. If it were a different type, it may or may not allocate, depending on if it had enough capacity.

Yeah, it's hard to overstate how good Valve Proton has gotten. I almost never bother checking compatibility anymore, most Windows games, that I try to play just work right out of the box...sometimes even better than their native Linux versions.

Granted, I don't generally play the new AAA games, so I might not be the best litmus test for this, but between Wine and Proton, I haven't had a ton of problems with compatibility. I also don't do professional video editing, or photo editing, or music editing, so it's possible I'd have different opinions if I did.

I've been running NixOS for awhile, and I'm at the "I'm annoyed this isn't the default for everything" stage for it now. I have no plans on going back if I have any choice in the matter.
It's far more ominous: if no intensity of tariff brings down the street price of copper, Trump will have to either pronounce out loud that it's failed, or turn to the threat of military action.

One bright side of ICANN being a California non-profit is that when they tried to sell off .org to their own confederates so they could juice up the prices they were stopped from doing it. If they were in other places, I imagine it would have gone through.

I don't think we're using the term semantic in the same way. I mean "relating to meaning in language."
ICANN accredited domain registrars (so any registrar selling generic TLDs like .org, .com, .design etc) have contractual obligations related to technical abuses like phishing, malware, and botnets, insofar as they intersect with a domain name.

Content/expression related harms are outside of ICANNs bylaws and any obligations related to what a domain points at are not from ICANN, but from the laws in the jurisdiction in which the registrar operates. This is generally good. There is no global standard for acceptable limits on expression, with the possible exception of CSAM which is illegal everywhere.

Requiring domain registrars to arbitrate what content should be accessible via the DNS is perilous.
Thanks for the suggestion! I initially went with that approach [1], but eventually opted for on-screen QR code scanning. Suggested networks have lower connection priority and don’t always auto-connect. Also, passwords for suggested networks can’t be viewed or shared later, unlike regular WiFi connections. This is inconvenient because I often need to connect my Mac to the same network later.

One thing is for sure. These technologies don't make protest or revolution any easier. They give asymmetric power to whoever wields them (the state) against whoever doesn't (a loose collection of angry people on the street without the same tools).

This isn't the 1800s anymore where the most powerful tool was a gun, and you could distribute these symmetrically across state and people to keep the state in check.

Surveillance, crowd control weapons, access to banking, control over media, eventually AI and widespread robotics, have properties that empower the state. In the context of mass protest, the status quo gets harder and harder to dislodge.

None of this matters much while democracy is still existing, but it's a risk that's there. It makes the fall of democracy more of an absorbing state that you can't escape from.
> but we now have 3 countries with the ability to erase entire cities or make the world functionally uninhabitable by humans

Just for the sake of the thread, these are "anti-corruption" protests. It is essentially a mass vote of no confidence in the government. The immediate inciting incident was the collapse of a railway station in Novi Sad that killed a bunch of people, but it has turned into much more.

It's been going since November. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the prelude to a civil war.
As a random passer-by I can look up the registered ownership of any building on the street.
Looking at your previous post, this looks like a disguised ad for waitfast.

It's fine to post your own stuff in HN if it's interesting and you don't repost too much, but trying to hide you are the author will make people angry and flag your posts and write angry emails to the moderators to complain.
> Do you know why the name servers are part of the WHOIS data?

The NS returned from the registrar's WHOIS server reflects the registrar's view; the NS returned from the TLD nameservers reflects the registry's view; the NS returned from the zone's authoritative nameservers reflects the registrant's view. These should typically be the same, but can differ.

> why is the name server present in SOA record too?

The NS in the SOA record is used for RFC2136 dynamic updates and RFC1996 zone replication.
I never heard of a graphics card for the Amiga until a decade later. In 92 I bought a IBM clone that cost 1/2 the price of an Amiga. One of my roommates had an Amiga 1000, and he got another 600 when it came out. In 96, I got one in trade for a Macintosh, while the roommate and I both got Lucas Acellerators and IDE interfaces for pennies on the dollar. We played games that used the serial ports. We had 1mb of chip ram and 2 mb of fast ram, the price of which was falling fast.

I think the lucas boards were 25mhz MC68030,and within a few weeks,we had gotten 33mhz parts w/ FPUs and soldered on new crystals. Such an incredible source of cheap fun, while the I world was struggling with widows 1,2,3. The Amiga was, as was claimed, head and hands above the PC until the 486s became cheap 8~10 years later. Amigas ruled. Too bad commodore were such schmucks.
> One language could combine the 2nd and 3rd level though. A language that can be interpreted during development for fast iteration cycle, but compiled for better performance for deployment. There isn’t such a language popular today though.

I'm not sure if Dart counts as "popular", but it otherwise fits this bill. It has a JIT and can startup pretty quickly and interpret on the fly. You can also hot reload code changes while a program is running. And it can ahead-of-time compile to efficient machine code when you're ready to ship.
