you should try wiby.org

Perhaps someone can shed light on this for me, a couple years ago I had an issue where libcurl with libressl stopped working in the new year with connections to a bunch of web servers, but switching to libcurl with openssl fixed my issue, though I never found out why.

Here is my understanding:

Our money system is based on fractional reserve banking, a system where money is created primarily through loans, which means banks will loan out ~90% (or more) of their deposits (which works fine as long as there isn't a bank run), this results in a chain where a $100 deposit of money eventually will result in about $900 in money created (electronically, out of thin air) in the form of loans to other people, all thanks to that $100 deposit.

So the bulk of money is created by private banks.

Now the loans made out must be paid back with interest, but there is not enough money in existence today to pay back the loans with interest, which means interest can only be paid back if more money is created (more people willing to take on debt in order to create more money). If more money cannot be created fast enough for the economy, more people will default on their loan repayments and you basically have a built in guarantee of crashes every few decades due to this. The Fed can try to prevent this by lowering interest rates to encourage borrowing, but this only prolongs the inevitable and can make the crash even worse when it does eventually happen. You also have a guarantee of inflation over the long term since more money is being created almost all the time.

The government borrows from the Fed, which issues out T-Bills, bonds, etc, but when they want to borrow hundreds of billions, or when the Fed issues billions to banks at discounted rates, I am not sure how the Fed gets that money or who they get that money from.

The stock market continues to climb because money is automatically dumped into the market when people are paid. Part of their salary is put into the market for people's 401k's and pensions, so every day there is more money in the market, that is what keeps it going (for now).

wiby.me

A small search engine for simple, non-commerical webpages.

I think mobile phones will become the standard VR devices most people will opt to use with a headset that you insert the phone into, esp as phones become increasingly advanced, due to it being the cheapest option for most people.

That's how I remodeled my bathroom. I opted against materials that require grout lines, among other things. It looks boring and utilitarian but its a hell of a lot easier to clean.

I can download large files from my pi at 900mb/s and upload around 800mb/s. The hard drives attached to the pie are formatted ext3. If you use an NTFS drive though, you will get speeds around what you are describing.

Yes its not everyone's cup of tea

wiby.me - a search engine for websites similar to what OP is looking for

It is mixing Wiby's index with pages from Bings index. Wiby has criteria for the types of pages that can be part of its index, and those pages must be submitted directly by users.

Wish I saw this earlier heh. I have a bug to fix!

Edit: I believe the bug which caused the crash is fixed now (knock on wood)

Starlink will be great in rural Canada where the ISP oligopoly has no incentive to provide fast internet. I am curious how it will perform in stormy weather. Does it cut out like satellite TV?

I am not sure about which pen drives support UASP, but one thing of note is they recently updated their firmware (June 15th) to support boot over USB instead of the SD Card. I have mine setup this way now, using an external hard drive enclosure that supports UASP. Works great.

you might want to try wiby.me

I clicked your link, but I don't see an archive, its redirecting me to their main website.

Wiby is based around two main things:

Non commercial content (1) that does not rely heavily on excessive javascript and CSS (2).

http://wiby.me/submit contains the submission criteria.

Hi, just wanted to clear something up. Wiby is biased towards the interests of those who submit websites to it.

I second phpcaptcha.org.

My desktop main monitor and laptop are 16x10, both are 10 years old. I can't get over how terrible 16x9 is for computer use, its a travesty that this became the standard.

Well I just bought an ad. I don't know what the hell I'm thinking doing this. But I love the idea of the 3D city.

In the article, they do say that the use will be in transmitting data from a processor to different components farther away from it, like RAM or sensors on a car.

you can change the ssh port and use a ssh key instead of a password. Don't worry about a firewall or fail2ban. That's about all. Also run everything from root.

Repeat above steps once vps provider goes out of business (as someone else also pointed out)

Host a static website the HN way:

1. Buy the cheapest most unsustainable VPS ipv4 deal out there.

2. Make A record and WWW record and point domain to your new fangled server.

3. Configure server:

apt-get install nginx goaccess

cd website

cp * /var/www/html

Yearly maintenance required: apt-get update, apt-get upgrade

reboot

View traffic stats: goaccess -f /var/log/nginx/access.log

Should try out http://wiby.me, only light weight websites are allowed on that search engine although the index is comparatively small

Say you created 32 dual vcore VMs with this, each with 2GB of RAM. How would they perform simultaneously together, vs a separate dual core PC (like a core2duo)? I don't know very much about the performance differences or if its even possible to compare such a thing.

try wiby.me, little known search engine for what you describe

> I would like to see an experiment with static websites that have no JavaScript and no cookies. The kind of thing that was the original promise of the web

You might find wiby.me interesting then

Some of us are trying to keep it alive.

Anyone who publishes software under GPL or MIT is continuing the movement. Those licenses are timeless in their wording.

Are you saying it disgusts you when they choose to keep their political opinions private? How come?

Nice idea, I hope it does well.
