That's more a you-problem (Dark Reader) than a website-problem?

I suspect the problem is that we're engineers in domains that have very different needs.

For example, I agree that elasticity is great. But at the same time, to me, it sounds like bad engineering. Why do you need to store terabytes of data and then delete it - couldn't it be processed continuously, streamed, compressed, process changes only, and so on. A lot of engineering today is incredibly wasteful. Maybe your data source doesn't care, and just provides you with terabyte csv files, and you have no choice, but for engineers that care about efficiency, it reeks.

It might make a lot of sense in a highly corporate context where everything is hard, nobody cares, and the cost of inefficiency is just passed on to the customer (i.e. often government and tax payers). But the real problem here is that customers aren't demanding more efficiency.

You're paying the same for "cloud engineers".

Also, don't forget the hidden cost/risk of giving a third party full access to your data.

So, it's worse than Source Sans because it removed the differentiation between a lowercase L and an uppercase i.

I'd rather use Source Sans then.

It would be trivial to use botnets inside of the EU, so I doubt that blocking ASNs would make any difference. And as I said, it achieves the goal of disrupting access to information, so that would be nevertheless be a win for them. Your proposition does not solve for Wikipedia's agenda of providing free access to information.

My view is that it's an economic coup which started decades ago (Bush-Halliburton, bank bailouts in 2008, etc.). It's only inflation and economic uncertainty is only for the poor. For the people that do algorithmic stock trading, it's an arbitrage opportunity that occurs in the scale of microseconds.

By the time that the people will be properly motivated to revolt against the government, it will be too late.

This is the most reasonable explanation. Wikipedia is openly opposed by the current US administration, and 'denial of service' is key to their strategy (i.e. tariffs, removal of rights/due process, breaking net neutrality, etc.).

In the worst case, Wikipedia will have to require user login, which achieves the partial goal of making information inaccessible to the general public.

How is this a problem? Every network interface should be treated as public, meaning you must use encryption and firewall rules.

Not a critique, but:

Wouldn't using this software constitute a crime if using it to "appear as literally anyone"?

IIRC, the have been news stories in the EU about people receiving prison sentences for creating deepfakes, although maybe it was related to adult material. But impersonation and defamation is likely covered similarly. I'd assume that all it takes is for single viewer to believe it, to legally qualify as an act of impersonation.

The US has literally expressed intent to annex Canada, Greenland, and Panama.

Yeah, until the flex cable breaks (a 5 USD part) and you're forced to replace the entire screen (for 1000 USD).

I'm 100% supportive of Framework laptops, especially if it can be an open standard with aftermarket parts.

Apple products have good quality, but I'd prefer to upgrade just the CPU and keep my old display. Hopefully Framework will work towards that.

The Apple model is wasteful and profit-engineered.

You can be happy until you're hitting a bug that severely impedes your workflow. And then you might feel annoyed when they refuse to fix it for years, and there's no recourse because it's closed software.

On the topic of Ayn Rand, I read the Fountainhead, and as I remember it, it was rebelling against tyranny and groupthink, and the recurring themes were how powerful elites and mass media villified free thinkers, by promoting obviously bad architecture, while ridiculing the work of the protagonist. They pretended to defend the common man, while actively working against him. Ultimately, the owner of a news paper tried to be sincere and support the protagnist, but was destroyed by the masses, thus suggesting that a frenzied crowd can be hard to turn around.

In other words, the book is relevant even today. I.e. it might be very hard for Democrats to start a revolution, because their voter base is as complicit as they are, in the corrupt scheme to enrich themselves.

I tried reading Atlas Shrugged but failed to finish it and can't remember a word of it. Perhaps the two works are in different categories.

If you read both works, I'd be happy to hear your comments.

My comment being downvoted is interesting. Is it pro-Trump users disagreeing that they are pro-Trump? Or democrats disagreeing that there are pro-Trump users?

I've had numerous encounters with people in the comments who were pro-Trump, who basically seemed to support corporate slavery.

You could argue that it goes back to when Bush became president despite losing the election to Al Gore, by suppressing recounts that later proved that he lost.

The Democrats have been allowing this for too long and are equally complacent. Nancy Pelosi doing insider trading is just the tip of the iceberg, quite literally speaking as the house speaker.

Americans should join Serbia and Turkey in their revolutions.

There are plenty of pro-Trump users on HN.

Europeans had to fight for our rights and freedom. In this sense, it is your civic duty to ensure order in your own country.

The critique is that too many Americans have become complacent and allowed the political system and media landscape to evolve as it has. The Democrats are also corrupt and need to be replaced, but it requires a sacrifice of wealth that people aren't willing to give, for selfish reasons.

But you will experience the consequences.

Nobody cares because the world has been taken over by organized crime, and to them you're just someone to be exploited.

And why doesn't an independent company just create a better product? Because they don't like competition. It's a racket.

You'll find that your suppliers give you outrageous prices (but discounted rates for their friends), that potential customers refuse to buy from you (you're blacklisted), and so on.

I strongly disagree.

Politicians: technology that strengthens the power of the state, against crime, but also militarily, for spying on enemies both foreign and domestic.

Citizens: defensive architecture that prevents the state from preventing free speech.

This is especially relevant in the era of AI, where the cost of mass surveillance is virtually zero, and is incredibly powerful at sentiment analysis and summarization. Free speech is threatened when any statement can and will be used against you.

Wouldn't it also be a problem that, IIUC, a CPU only has one encoding engine, so you could only have one active stream (at full speed), in a multi-tenant scenario?

It can be unnoticeable for you, while being noticeable for others.

You could argue that they are avenging him in doing exactly what he did, or worse, and not being punished for it. They are establishing precedent.

Contabo is garbage. They'll scam you with every trick in the book.

That's fair.

But I've never seen these ads myself, so it's surprising.

The Americans do take pervasive advertising to the next level though, with product placement, "influencers", and other deceptive tactics. Their behaviors are a major cost to the legal system, because more legislation has to be introduced to govern against their obviously anti-social and exploitative behavior.

Wow,

Sounds great. It puzzles me that Nebula hasn't done what you're doing with OpenZiti.

In my opinion, Kubernetes networking is flawed, in that service mesh authentication with mTLS has unnecessary overhead, Cilium network policies are clumsy using labels and work poorly with non-pod workloads (i.e. CIDR-based policies), multi-cluster is hacky, and external workloads are inconvenient to set up. So a simple plug-and-play solution that solves these problems would be great.

I feel like that was Discord's style also, being playful, fun, childish. Maybe they're just imitating that appeal?

Sounds amazing and like it addresses my issues with Nebula. I know that Nebula/Defined Networks was/is working on better Kubernetes integration, but it seems unlikely to become generally available. Is that something you're supporting? i.e. as pod sidecar to authenticate services like nebula has ACL.

What's your funding model? Are enterprises willing to sponsor the development?

I think Nebula has a lot of trust solely because it's made at/used by Slack. In a similar sense, why should enterprises trust OpenZiti? If services do not use e2ee (e.g. service mesh with TLS) but rely on OpenZiti, it places a lot of trust in OpenZiti. How has the code been audited? Why are you confident that it's cryptographic implementation is secure?

And there's no way to delete your chat history basically. You can delete your account, but that doesn't destroy your messages.

And as for privacy: Your username is anonymous, but your email isn't (to Discord), so the % of users that didn't create a separate fake email, or ever connected with a trackable IP, basically aren't anonymous at all. They also record your voice. Every user's voice is recorded in isolation and can be used as training data for identification algorithms. Including unusual characteristics like breathiness, diction, accent, and so on. Probably it can estimate your age as well.

Why are you belligerent?

I would define ads as promoting other businesses' products, as you would see on YouTube etc.

Upselling is basically just unlocking additional features. If you object to that, then you're objecting to the freemium model, not to "ads".
