Awh man. This is so sad. His dachshund collection was my favorite -

When I read the AWS infrastructure the agent setup I about fell out of my chair laughing.

I shamefully have some Facebook Marketplace notifications for some Massy tractors. I'd love one. I don't even have land to use them, I just think they are neat.

Likely: Scan everyone's home while en-route to the 911 call with an infrared camera. Or scan all of the license plates and faces of people along the way.

Possible: Perhaps crash into someone? Or worse.

If you check their telegram channel they have some humorous photos and his resume.

So, I'm not a dev nor a project manager but I found this article very enlightening. At the risk of asking a stupid question and getting a RTFM or a LMGTFY can anyone provide any simple and practical examples of software successes at a big scale. I work at a hospital so healthcare specific would be ideal but I'll take anything.

FWIW I have read The Phoenix Project and it did help me get a better understanding of "Agile" and the DevOps mindset but since it's not something I apply in my work routinely it's hard to keep it fresh.

My goal is to try and install seeds of success in the small projects I work on and eventually ask questions to get people to think in a similar perspective.

I use a lot of Kodak 35MM! They are still kicking around. They are kind of hard to find in my neck of the woods, so I mostly stick with Fuji anymore.

I legit wish I had known about you a few years ago when writing my thesis. It was about community run broadband internet. I was trying to identify repeatable models for communities who wanted to run their own ISPs to use. This would have been so helpful!

Side note, truly inspirational an something I would love to do in my little village in Ohio.

Here are some benchmarks from a few months back. Seems promising. https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-arc-b580-gpu-compute

Whoops - included the wrong link! https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-arc-b580-graphics-linu...

Thanks for sharing this. Reading his story is kind of insane honestly. He created the CC licenses which I did not know. What an icon, truly.

Reading this article makes me think that I just throw weird compared to the pros. But who cares! I'm having fun.

Do you add milk or sugar to your tea? Or both? Or neither?!

What's your favorite biscuit. Asking as a yank who likes tea and biscuits.

Former MSP I worked at is also looking to migrate customers off to something like Hyper-V or Nutanix. I told my old boss to hire a bunch of Linux gurus and go through the Proxmox partnership program and get certified. As much as people knock it for their support not really being ready for enterprise. I do think that proxmox is well suited to gain some of the market share.

I've been using it in my lab for the past few years without any major issues. Running an HA 3-node cluster. Only issue I ran into was when I kept getting kernel panic from an driver issues in my RAID card. But that really only affected me during reboots. Pinning to and older kernel worked. Oh and it was also because my RAID card is like 10 years old.

So HN - if you are moving off VmWare, what are you using?

It can in advanced caseas - from my personal experience: My gran had it for as long as I could remember. As she got older and her condition worsened she would have difficulty swallowing just about anything and we had to add thickening agents (even to her water) so she could.

This also might have been a side affect of her medication but I don't recall it happening earlier on the same meds.

Take this for what it's worth. Happy to be wrong, I know someone on HN will tell me lol

IIRC EBPF is an enhanced version of the Berkeley Packet filter. In this scenario I believe it is being used for sandboxing a low level process to allow for TLS "decryption" on network connections related to Docker.

I actually live in a home right on the old canal as it went through in southern Ohio. You can still see some of the old canal walls. Every time I see it, I get so bummed out the US bailed on canals as transport. You can check it out here!

And at a quick glance it looks like it is mostly related to website information, not PHI or PII.

Oddly enough, I actually tried to make something like this happen at my high school. My high school was a private and catholic one. We had a strong relationship with a lot of the local parishes and shelters and there was always a need for some paulbearers or otherwise "witnesses" for individuals with no family (older, homeless etc) who had passed.

Initially I would just attend a few burials. I did not say much (if anything), nor do much. I just tried reflecting on the person and hoped they found some peace and comfort.

When I tried getting it off the ground into something more formal we ran into some bureaucratic issues. Makes me kind of sad. Maybe I should reach back out and see if I could get it started again.

Neat! Another FOSS SOAR platform. Quick read through built-in integrations. Any support for Elastic both SIEM and EDR?

And do you all have like an MSP program? Assuming not, but always need to ask.

Also forgot to ask, any chance of moving some of the develop/feedback off of Discord? I understand a number of projects are making this choice now, but I find whenever I need to search Discord for information, I'm not the most effective at it.

So from what I can tell, a lot of boils down to the same reasons most of America/US manufacturing declined. Globilzation, greed and other factors.

This article really hits home for me. I grew up in Cincinnati and it was a tool making powerhouse back in the day. Cincinnati Tool, now Milacron and many others were made here in town. We still have a few nice tool makers in Ohio - Kett and Wright but its sad to read about how much this industry powered the nation and a lot of its innovation.

Going to our museum center, hell even our Airport has a bunch of exhibits that take about all of the tool making and industry we used to have. Makes me sad really.

I'd say there is some anecdotal truth to it. Two of my close friends both had a fairly large reduction in weight and both of them admitted to using Ozempic.

One of my friends, I would consider heavily overweight if not obese (I'm not sure what the specific definition is). The other was certainly heavier but not by anything I would consider crazy. She however was working out religiously and watching her food intake and still struggled. She admitted to using it and it helped kick start her journey.

My other friend (heavier one) took it to lose weight for a wedding. Dropped a lot of weight, but didn't work out or change eating habits, stopped taking it and gained weight back.

So long story, I would say it's fairly likely that some of your acquaintances are taking/using it.

How are the panel gaps and the interior holding up?

FCU? Friendly Credit Union?

Question for HN - For those not self employed and in the US, does your employer provided health insurance offer a HMO option? I've always heard that some companies do, but I've never seen a company offer one.

I mean, I know its not practical for everyone or every application - that being said I have made it my highest priority to go out of my way to not use services or products that require apps to be installed. Obviously I make exceptions for stuff I deem "required" but for coffee chains, fast food restaurants, grocery stores and other services if they need an "app" for me to use it. I just won't use it. Or I will go out of my way to use another service that does not require it. Or, if I need to use it, I will just install the app, use it, then remove it. Is it a hassle? Sure. Will the company still be able to access my data? Some of it. But it won't be a persistent install so I'm fine with it. I don't have many other choices.

That being said, I am now running into what I call the "Non-App Tax". The most prominent example I can think of in my own experience is my towns local parking payment system. You actually don't need to use the app to find parking or pay. You can scan a QR code and pay via text. Then I looked at the prices on the app vs prices via text and the prices were a decent amount higher ($1-2 more) and less flexible than if I had just used the app. Kinda shitty and I can absolutely see this becoming the norm.

I mean, are there any good EHR systems? Lol

I would love to see more wide spread adoption of FOSS EHR systems, once with actual feedback and development input from doctors. I don't think it will happen. Meaningful use and interoperability have basically made it so Epic and Cerner and the other big players have an advantage due to resources for development.

I had a glimmer of hope, Ohio (where I'm from) was considering allowing a companies to bid on a contract to to host a low-cost/subsidized OpenEMR instance and letting healthcare systems use it. Sadly nothing ever came to fruition.

I actually had this idea when I worked for a local HIE. I just lacked the technical competency to make it real. I think this would be incredibly useful for the adoption of FHIR and also learning more about HL7. For security-minded folks this information could be a good tool for tuning DLP and other tools without using real patient data.

That is exactly how my previous employer (HIE) operated. Mirth was fairly low-cost and if we wanted. We could bootstrap our own Mirth Servers. But managing that many VPNs was a giant pain.

Well there is the FOSS Mirth option and the NextGen Mirth Option which is the "premium" corporate-backed version. Mirth is like the glue for healthcare in the US. Most of the companies I've worked with use it. Whats another options? Redox? HAPI? Qvera?

It might not be great but I think its better then most offerings.

Usually encrypted via a TLS connection right into an HL7 channel/listener. Or the entire connection is encrypted via a VPN connection between healthcare systems.
