akerro··on Nix × IPFS – Milestone 1
I hear it in every discussion, yet I'm still waiting for any of my SD cards to fail. I've had the same rpi0 for 3 years as CCTV with motiond (motion detector). Recording all activity from my window, filling the card in 100% and removing all recorded data, every 2 days, no errors, no failure. I no longer need that CCTV so using the rpi, with the same SD card, as IPFS node.

akerro··on Nix × IPFS – Milestone 1
I started moving images of my wordpress blog to ipfs using 3 most popular gateways. I'm moving slowly, image by image, but so far it was quite a success. As images expire from the gateways I had super simple and cheap IPFS nodes - unused raspberry pi! My main IPFS node is RPi 0W (the wireless one). It overall dropped my main page loading times, and it costs £5 (rpi) + £5 32Gb sd card. First images - the smallest and most often loaded few were migrated 7 months ago.

akerro··on Police told not to download NHS Covid-19 app
English hospitals already run out of tests a few times this year and people are going to Scottish hospitals to take tests. People in Wales are told to go to Scotland to take tests after being in contact with infected. Problem solved itself many times.

Are you sure about this? Do you need a reminder in a year?
akerro··on We cancelled standups and let the team build
Agile, standup, iteration have became buzzwords with very little meaning now. Agile with had deadline for big project delivery (teams working in sprints, PO getting cold water for having major features late by a few days), standups that include breakfast and chit-chat, iteration on major features that take 3 months to deliver.

My ex-LM is now working for major finance processing company. They went trough major agile transformation everyone in the city was talking about how big success it was. He's a tech-lead. He has to estimate feature development in man-hours to the board and investors. Everyone below him (SM, PO, devs, QAs) estimate in story points. He gets shit for features being late by days (eg. sprint finishes on Thursday next week, board meeting is on Tuesday this week).

They cancelled something they were doing completely wrong, because they never reached for quality material how to do it right. Good for them, it was a waste of time to begin with.

afair AMD CEO is paid 4x less than Mozilla CEO.

I think it nicely shows lack of trust in Google and their new products.
akerro··on Germany will violate international agreements with Unitary Patent, says FFII
Just googling for:

France breaks international law https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20181017-amnesty-france-vi...

Spain breaks international law: https://www.icj.org/spain-conviction-of-catalonian-leaders-v...

Poland breaks international law https://www.ecre.org/human-rights-organisations-poland-viola...

I don't think I need to search for any about USA, each of us remembers at least 5 from very recent history.

akerro··on Germany will violate international agreements with Unitary Patent, says FFII
>At least we're not the only country wanting to violate international agreements at present

Countries do it all the time and there are conflicts because it all the time everywhere. UK is slightly different because EU is much stronger than UK, withdrawal agreement is important to keep food, medicine and skills flowing between borders.

UK government is planning and making first successful steps towards breaking withdrawal agreement before it's even in place. So why would EU even bother continuing wasting time and resources in this stupid game where they won't be the losers?

Is there any website, table or whatever that compiles all/most apache projects and described them in one or two sentences?

Nifi, Flink, Mesos, Kafka, Cascoon, Cordova, Hadoop.

akerro··on AMD Announces Ryzen “Zen 3” and Radeon “RDNA2” Presentations for October
> I think they’ll probably continue beating Intel but the new nVidia cards look really good, and very good value.

AMD have much lower power consumption, that was my main motivator for Ryzen and AMD Radeon as dev station.

akerro··on Letsencrypt, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
I had the same experience with LE autoupdate. It's been working on a few years on my dedicated server and one day I woke up and all my certs were expired. LE failed on autoupdate and was failing to renew certs. It took me approximately 2hours to get it working. Had to change DNS TXT entries, get new ACME accounts as old accounts was creating new directories mydomain.com-0001 and mydomain.com-0002, which would mean I would have to change config in postfix, dovecot, nginx and more...

akerro··on Apple to delay privacy change threatening Facebook, mobile ad market
OH no, I'm so sorry for ads now. Poor, poor ads, let's make it easy for them to be more annoying and less regulated for once after years of being intrusive, bringing malware, tracking people across portals and devices, and still being flipping unreliable.
akerro··on Iranian law prohibits merge of PR from Israeli?
>US export laws Syrians were banned from downloading the most basic shit like Java runtime

That's still the case for many encryption products from Oracle. You have to register and sign T&C which say you will not export this .jar to a banned country. It's been like this since I remember... 2005 maybe?

akerro··on Ask HN: What is your favorite method of sending large files?
>I'm also curious on how you'd send 10TB or more.

For my 12TiB of data I use Syncthing when I need to sync them more often, rsync.

I used rsync several times for billions of smaller files totalling to 300GiB, but really all depending on how I connect nodes. I prefer syncthing, but when only ssh is available, then rsync is good too.

Currently largest synced directory by syncthing (that shares usage stats) is over 61384 GiB :)) https://data.syncthing.net/
