All you need to know is that for some reason you could buy foo.bar.com without owning bar.com directly from the registrar.

It is being retired because very few people use it. It kind of sucks but this is how domains work, it’s not real estate.

> Unlike zfs it keeps up with upstream kernel releases

Most normal users and especially servers have no reason to run latest upstream kernels

> 4. I say "we" but it's really only me (Peter Ullrich, peterullrich.com) and my dog (Bella, Labrador, beige).

I wish you the best, and I understand this might be necessary initially, but honestly I myself would never use a one man operation for anything I run in production.

Sacrificing bandwidth for range and reliability would be a welcome change, but I’ve far passed the point where all news about Wifi just strikes me as marketing bullshit.

English and Swedish have tons of similar words since they are closely related, as do most Germanic languages. The older a word is, the more similar it usually is.

Then maybe you'll enjoy the swedish joke ”It’s not the fart that kills, it’s the smäll”

Fart means speed, smäll (smell) means impact or bang.

> The sound is still very close

What do you base this on? Do you speak Swedish? Did you look up the phonetics?

They are no more similar than A and E in English.

”Many?” Teamviewer does not work like that which by far is the most popular.

So it’s like ”Russophobia”? :-)

What an excellent example of the most Russian thing of all: whataboutism.

> If "FLOSS works" maintainers shouldn't be "facing severe burnout"

So your success criteria for ”FLOSS works” is that zero people involved in it experience stress related issues?

What’s your point, or are you just engaging in a conversation while completely ignoring the context?

Go ahead.

I have no idea what Gleam or Tangled is, so for me this headline might as well be an article from The Onion satirizing HN. I also refuse to believe any of these two things are large enough, like say Postgres, that one can claim everyone should know it. Surely writing an informative headline for ”hackers in general” can’t be that difficult.

Moving from MariaDB to SQLite and not Postgres for a web application of this scale is insane. I wonder what went into the discussion behind this.

”typical Postgres setups” do not include connection poolers to begin with, this is not a Postgres issue.

I’m an Organic Maps user and from a cursory glance I can see no reason to use CoMaps instead, it looks like the same app and I’d wish they’d make an attempt to clearer differentiate themselves since this will be an obvious question.

”Viking” is not a language, it’s not even an ethnic group. The language you’re probably referring to is Old Norse.

> Markus Allard, used to be far left politician before turning far right.

Less weird than you might think, Mussolini was one of the most prominent socialists in Italy before turning fascist.

> People are stubborn.

This is just a variant of the argument ”people don’t know what’s good for them”. You’re very close to the actual answer, which is that the aforementioned ”manager class” is simply convinced that they understand reality better than those below them, which is quite frankly absurd considering the fact that managers very rarely do any of the ”real work” that these tools supposedly make redundant, and yet they still believe themselves to understand the potential better.

That depends on which Volvo you’re talking about.

> It turns out that a _very_ long HDMI cable, a Steam Controller 2 and Bazzite on a second drive was all I needed to get a comfortable couch gaming experience.

Yes, it does turn out that if you already _have_ a capable gaming PC, you can use that instead of buying a Steam Machine. Who would have thunk it.

It feels like people don’t understand what the value prop of the Steam Machine is, maybe because they’re mixing it up with existing functionality and previous hardware attempts for ”streaming” games. That’s obviously not what this hardware is about.

The memory requirements, yes. The crashing, no. The OS should not crash because memory is running out, but the solution is far from obvious or standardized. My recommendation for RAM constrained systems would be to use zswap combined with a generous amount of swap space.

> It’s a small compensation for the immense damage you’ve all done to the industry and more importantly the economy

For all of those on HN that think venture capital is just numbers in a spreadsheet, consider that every dollar spent on AI is one that was not spent investing in the ”normal” economy. If this gamble does not play out, there will be bills to pay for all of society. As stated in Chernobyl: ”Every lie we tell incurs debt to the truth”, except in this case ”the truth” is the (un-)employment status of your friends, relatives and neighbors.

I’m not so sure the uncertainty around _regulation_ is the concern here.

The first few hundred words on that page does not explain why I should care about this, and amazingly neither does the comments here on HN.

The fact that this article is obviously authored at least in part by an LLM is infuriating.

> I would expect openrsync to create a remote file /tmp/services, but instead it creates /tmp/services/services.

As someone who has also suffered uncountable years of abuse from rsync, I understand the impulse, but I think it makes a lot more sense (and is a safer default) to create a second ”services”.

If we have a chance to change rsync defaults to something less insane and save future generations from this mess I think we should.

I disagree, there is always a way to keep it free, if you care about keeping your promises. Especially in this case where the service is essentially locally encrypted json blob storage. There’s already plenty of premium functionality not included. If you have runaway costs due to abuse, just make up new limits to solve it.

It’s about the backpedaling. No one says it has to be free, they said that. They just have to keep their promise.
