One of my favorite science fiction threads is the ulta rich building personal homes in LEO, and creating a service industry as a result. I find it more believable than colonizing Mars for altruism.

> you should not assume that it's better than around 25Mbps down and 3Mbps up This is spot on for me. I live in a low-density community that got telcom early and the infrastructure has yet to be upgraded. So, despite being a relativ

I think we have the new top target for hackers everywhere.

Not unexpected, sadly. Plenty of training material with manipulation, delusion and such.

I have to admit, for a bit I wasn’t sure if that was a parody or the real video.

Do you use TCP for everything, and if so why not UDP?

I put my DNS service on a non-standard port. I’m the only one using it so standards be damned. Windows doesn’t allow setting a nonstandard port for DNS, but pretty-much everything else does. Do ISPs do deep packet inspection to get lookup d

Absolutely. The investment in HTTP means I can setup a website or API in a few clicks and pay nothing (or nearly so) for it. That has made it possible for me to try many, many things over the years. It’s fabulous. I would very much like to

If you are using WireGuard between endpoints your traffic if opaque, but yeah if/where it exits it becomes (depending on the encapsulated protocol) visible.

> The most important part of DoH, etc is that it allows you to make a choice. So does UDP based DNS, and TLS based DNS. It’s all the same in that regard.

If you’re going to be hacking, why not just build your own DNS?
402.
by mlhpdx 1y ago
Not really. If motivated, building a bespoke DNS for personal (or whatever) use is easy these days. The hard part is the infrastructure to make it reliable and maintainable.

Yes, but it won’t be easy. Heavy investment has gone into HTTP and we have great tooling and support for it as a result. That has a lot of benefits and I’m glad for it. But there is a cost. HTTP is a blunt hammer and computing sometimes nee

I’m not sure how to take “open source” when there are closed source commercial things on the trends list.

Not only open source, but extremely well documented.

On the producer side I’d expect to see change data capture being directed to a queue fairly efficiently, but perhaps you have some intermediary that’s running between the system of record and the queue? The latter works, but yeah it eats co

We build applications very differently. SQS queues with 1000s of clients have been a go to for me for over a decade. And the opposite as well — 1000s of queues (one per client device, they’re free). Zero maintenance, zero cost when unused.

> As Mark Twain said, “A lie can travel around the world and back again while the truth is lacing up its boots.” Actually he probably didn’t say that—but everyone keeps saying he did, illustrating the point perfectly. Well played.

I’m not sure I get the connection? Designing systems for sub-linear cost scaling is just an engineering problem.

by mlhpdx 1y ago
Everyone doing multi-tenant SaaS wants cost to be a sub-linear function of usage. This model of large unit capacity divided by small work units is an example of how to get there. The tough bit is that it’s stepwise at low volumes, and becom

I tend to put more attention on repos with 15-75 (ish) stars. Less is something obscure or unproven maybe, and above ~500 is much more likely to be BS/hype.

The signal here is how many unpatched vulnerabilities there are maybe multiplied by how long they’ve been out there. Purely statistical. And an actual signal.

VHS for maritime communication. It’s necessary for practical purposes, and safety but audio is often indecipherable.

For the sake of clarity, I’m not being nice and don’t expect it from others. I do however respect your contribution to the conversation and opinions.

Have you checked that? As it turns out, public radio is very popular in rural areas. May I also point out that your assumptions and stereotypes only serve to reinforce others’ entrenchments.

> Their objective was "drive at the speed which is safe for this road" Not really. The problem people are not prioritizing safety, they are rushing in an ego fueled spasm of disobedience and disrespect.

Let’s start by copying the German requirement that all new cars have intelligent speed assist systems.
