The author is the CEO of one of the companies they say has the solution to this "problem". I guess they technically say that in a footnote, but it's pretty far below the fold. How can you criticize hosted cloud services for m

Nice! I assume if it was over the WAN you probably had to unicast it? I've experimented a tiny bit with the builtin pulseaudio RTP sink/source, but I've not used it extensively. I'm not sure if cutting out ffmpeg would b

You can do something similar with ffmpeg -stream_loop -1 -re -i gettysburg.wav -f mp3 udp://239.0.0.1:1234 on one device, and ffplay -i udp://239.0.0.1:1234 on another device. You can also play the stre

I absolutely agree in principle, but unless pay is in some way linked to performance I really don’t see how. The existing seniority based pay system completely decouples money as an incentive, doesn’t it?

Well, I think it’s probably fair for users to expect a site advertising itself as a great web host for git to not serve stale files over web protocols. It’s kinda the entire point of the website. Maybe it’s a bit questionable to use the raw

Seeing as it’s git, can’t you just do content based hashing through the commit hash? And I’d assume the GitHub api has a way to get the hash for the head of a branch? I don’t know, I guess the entire point of GitHub is to be able to obtain

One thing I don't fully understand is why single family zoning is necessary to make this a reality? Won't density naturally fall off as you move out of the core? Since area increases with the square of the radius, it seems to me t

Isn't what you're describing basically a unix "shell" like bash, csh, zsh, etc? I agree that something like bash leaves a lot to be desired in REPL functionality. Its ubiquity is convenient, however.

I’m not sure I understand why broadband should be a problem anywhere there’s electrical infrastructure.

I will try building it, since I also want to get some experience for making it run on my Mikrotik RB5009. But if I run into issues I may take you up on that offer! :) Thanks!

Huh, I considered BSD to have a good reputation for stability and I believe network stack performance as well. Too bad. I did very much like the debian base of VyOS. I've had pretty good experiences with OpenWRT. But it's command

Wow! I'm excited to hear someone has the WAX206 running openWRT. I've been trying to get more of my networking gear running that, but since the WAX206 isn't officially supported I hadn't looked into things further. How m

Is there something that puts VyOS in a separate class than openwrt/*sense? I really liked VyOS when I tried it out, but OpenWRT seems like _mostly_ the same thing. A bit less polished, but more likely to run on different vendor's

It blows my mind the ways MS Teams finds new and creative ways to mangle and destroy my chat history. Just about the most important thing a business chat app could do, right?

That's fractional reserve banking, right? It works, but there's a reason it's regulated.

by ahepp 4y ago
Docker uses container functionality specific to the Linux kernel. So on Linux, you can install a relatively lightweight engine. But on MacOS or Windows, you need to install the entire "Docker Desktop" app, which secretly spins up

Ok, I can definitely agree with that. They could do a lot more with the window manager. I think there are a couple other pain points I've had along those lines (things that should be in the base system, but aren't). Stuff like, ho

However degraded the Apple UX is from the glory days, as someone who recently converted over from Windows I can assure you the UX there is garbage. Compared to 2022 Apple.

How is this "not legal advice"? You're _selling_ summaries of legal documents.

Does HN really allow posting just a purchase link? Not even a discussion of why anyone would use this over vim/VS code + LSP? I have to scroll below the fold to even see what it claims the features are. Sorry to be that guy, but this o

Well, it seems like the problem could be solved by treating “normal” 911 calls normally, and attending to automated calls on a “best effort” basis.

Is there a way for me to export if I decide to self host later? I don't have the time to set up a Mastodon server right now, but part of the appeal of Mastodon is having more control over my data.
