deorder··on YouTube reinstates Right Wing Watch
An entire subreddit was quarantined in February last year for spreading misinformation about what was considered fact just months later. As of today that subreddit is still quarantined, even after the last "misinfo", the lab theory, is no longer considered taboo to talk about.
deorder··on Improving ventilation will help curb SARS-CoV-2
I am not sure if the comment above me was referring to him, but I know back then they called what he was claiming (improving ventilation) misinformation.
deorder··on Improving ventilation will help curb SARS-CoV-2
You are referring to Maurice de Hond I assume?
deorder··on Improving ventilation will help curb SARS-CoV-2
In my experience, those called "conspiracy theorists" (or any other name for that matter) turned out to be mostly right. The subreddit /r/wuhan_flu was quarantined last February for allegations that the virus may have escaped from a lab and that the virus may be airborne. They did not even claim it was definitely so, but it was just speculation based on multiple papers. That subreddit is still quarantined as of today. That's just one of the thousands of examples I've come across.

The people who spread G5 and chip theories are a very small group compared to the rest of the skeptics, yet they are portrayed by the mass media etc. as one and the same. This is reflected in how many people deal with people who criticize the official story.

We seem to have lost all logic and critical thinking. There is no room for healthy discussions anymore. Instead people are personally attacking each other.

deorder··on Kubegres: PostgreSQL Operator for Kubernetes
I totally forgot about the postgresconf talk :(. The reminders ended up in my spam folder.

It says: " No video of the event yet, sorry!"

deorder··on Why I’ll never create modules for VCV Rack anymore–and what I’ll make instead
That is horrible and I did not fully realize this was going on. I've been waiting for VCVRack 2 forever to get the VST support and invested a lot of money in the current VCVRack. Aria I wish you the best with you future / current endeavors and in something people will actually respect you. I really hope a good and fully open source alternative will come up soon.
deorder··on Ignoring Docker updates is a paid feature now?
What would anyone here recommend for local development (mostly on Linux) if I already have several production Kubernetes clusters?

Podman or just running a local Kubernetes with Kind or Minikube for example?

At the moment I use Docker compose.

deorder··on Apple doesn't care about album cover art
Apple automatically started using one of our band's album covers as the artist image. When I submitted an new artist logo they turned it down because artist / band logos are not allowed. They only allow faces. The thing is, the band can have anyone as an artist, so we decided to keep the ugly album cover that Apple automatically used as the artist image (which is not even according to their guidelines btw.)
deorder··on Show HN: A Native Tiling Window Manager for Windows 10, Inspired by I3wm
I am using a single xserver and extended the desktop.

Yes cloning is what I ended up doing.

deorder··on Show HN: A Native Tiling Window Manager for Windows 10, Inspired by I3wm
May be you can help me with this.

I am using the same computer from 2 locations, one 10 meters away (using extension cables) from the computer. Both locations have a keyboard and a mouse. When I start an application it always opens on the primary display, not the display I initiated the opening of the application from.

On Linux with X11 (with BSPWM or not) this is flawless. The multi display support in Linux / X11 seems to be much more advanced compared to Windows.

Any idea how I can get this in Windows 10?

deorder··on How I built a keyboard/video/mouse switch for my two 4k monitors
I opened the same ugreen switch up and plan to attach some wires from the button pins to my RaspberryPI. This way I will be able to use my RaspberryPI to switch between the two USB hosts and use the RaspberryPI's built-in CEC support to switch between video inputs.

deorder··on Antibiotics nearly double risk of developing IBD, doctors warn
Yes, they gave me different antacids and so far nothing has helped. I wish it was just like a regular acid reflux, but best way to describe it is as if there is a cloud of aerosolized acid being released from my esophagus 24/7 that is spreading and causing an non-stop burning sensation everywhere it gets inside my throat, mouth, nose, eyes and I think it is damaging my larynx. None of the usual advice seems to help. Days that I am feeling better I can eat an entire chocolatebar, mint tea, lay / sleep flat, everything I should not do and it does not get worse. Something I noticed though is that it disappears everytime I go on vacation and actually eat worse than usual (McDonald's etc.)

Never had any test done for SIBO I think. They did a stool test, sigmoidoscopy and found nothing. That is how I ended up being diagnosed with IBS.

deorder··on Antibiotics nearly double risk of developing IBD, doctors warn
3 years ago I got diagnosed with IBS after I landed in the hospital with a stabbing pain just right next to my belly button (sometimes I still feel it lightly) what they first thought was caused by kidney stones. Nothing turned up on the xrays or echoes. Since then things have only gotten worse as if it has spread upwards first causing constipation, then silent reflux (causing a constant burning sensation in my throat, mouth and nose), pain in my neck, foggy brain (which started recently) and so on. The GP, which in my country decides if I have to be forwarded to a specialist to relieve the medical system, keeps attributing everything to my IBS. Once I got the diagnosis IBS it is as if they stopped taking me seriously and act as if I am just being a hypochondriac so I decided to just let it be.

deorder··on Fixing indoor air is a way to curb the spread of Covid-19
Not the first time I've heard about this and it makes sense. Sadly people mentioning things like this get censored / deplatformed because their opinions go against the government policy. Like this person in my country:

deorder··on Covid-19 Is Nothing Like the Spanish Flu
I came to the same conclusion 2 days ago:

https://old.reddit.com/r/Wuhan_Flu/comments/fgrlwq/wikipedia...

As someone else here said. They confuse certain terminology even on Wikipedia.

deorder··on Assange Hearing Day 2
They also tried to frame him as working for the Russians before and when that did not work as a pedophile:

deorder··on What Coronavirus Does to the Body
It is good to see that the generally accepted media is finally picking this up.

2 weeks ago talking about potential upcoming supply line issues and speculating about the virus / disease (most of what turned out to be true) got me and others banned, censored, quarantined (because of "spreading misinformation") and even threatened over PMs on several of the other social networks.

deorder··on Number of confirmed COVID-19 cases rises in Japan
Shouldn't it be "as SARS-Cov-2 spreads" or "as more people get COVID-19"?

I see a lot of headlines using COVID-19 as if it is the virus and not the disease caused by it. Probably just semantics, but something I noticed.

deorder··on Tencent may have accidentally leaked real data on Wuhan virus deaths
Those numbers were faked. See the screenshots from the original website here:

http://archive.ph/https://news.qq.com/zt2020/page/feiyan.htm

I've seen this pattern before (Epstein, Douma, the principle of net neutrality etc.). Fake data is released to muddy the water hoping that someone seeking for the truth is accidentally going to pick it up to then discredit / censor this person. If someone will then leak the actual truth that is similar to the faked one people are then less likely to look at it even if proof is provided.

deorder··on How to run your own mail server (2017)
GMail even considers some emails from Google to be spam. I missed some important (billing and security notification) emails from Google this way.
deorder··on 600k concurrent websocket connections on AWS using Node.js (2015)
It seems that the author actually used the "cluster" module, but just does not mention it in the article: https://github.com/hashrocket/websocket-shootout/blob/master...

I expected all benchmarks that use the (linux) kernel for I/O events would perform similarly. The code is so small that the interpreter overhead should not degrade the performance too much. May be the JSON parsing / serialization?

deorder··on Nim 1.0
I am pretty sure it should be very close to or the same as C++. Ask around on the Nim forum.
deorder··on Moving the Linux desktop to another reality
Very close, but it is not there yet. The following is at least preferable:

- Full clarity along the lens

- Double the resolution of what the current VR has

- Foveated rendering (to be able to handle the high resolution)

- Dynamic focus

- Eye tracking (to get dynamic foveated rendering and focus)

- More comfort (lighter headset, improved finger tracking, better weight distribution, better foam, cooling etc.)

XS4ALL is a Dutch ISP, not German
deorder··on EU Copyright: Block Everything, Never Make Mistakes, but Don't Use Upload Filter
A client, a large pharmaceutical company, asked me to remove everything that could potentially violate the GDPR from their Android / IOS app. Apple rejected the update despite me stating the reason for the update, because the app could have been a website instead. Some of the functionality I had to remove was mobile specific, like reading measurements from a medical device etc.
deorder··on Valve discontinues the Steam Link
If they stop supporting it and you have a Nvidia GPU you can always use Moonlight:

https://moonlight-stream.com/

Moonlight can do 4k at 120fps and supports HVEC / H.265.

You can run Moonlight on a RPi and achieve 1080p at 60fps and 5.1 audio without much trouble. Sadly a RPi cannot do HVEC encoding using hw.

deorder··on Arguing against using protobuffers
You can do this with PostgReST as well. Something like:

  GET /user?select=name,photo(url),friend(name)
I do not use PostgReST, but created something similar.

When I perform the following 3 individual requests after I performed the above request the results can all be retrieved from cache (at the server and/or client side):

  GET /user?select=name
  GET /user/{name}/photo?select=url
  GET /user/{name}/friend?select=name
Even when I do the following (without the photo(url) part) it can now just build it from the cache without hitting the database server:

GET /user?select=name,friend(name)

That is one of the advantages of using ReST. It allows you to utilize and benefit from already existing proven and well defined infrastructure components (the connectors etc.).

GraphQL can be used on top of this as well. I experimented with this once as an alternative to the PostgReST-like syntax.
