neoromantique··on I guess I kinda get why people hate AI
>As a contrast, in the early web, plenty of people were hosting their own website, and messing around with all the basic tools available to see what novel thing they could create

I'm hoping that the already full of slop centralized platforms now with LLM fueled implosion will overflow and lead to a renaissance of sorts for small and open web, niche communities and decoupling from big tech.

It's already gaining traction among the young, as far as I can see.

I ask in more general sense, if there is a way to fetch this stuff directly from webarchive or something along those lines.

Gotta hit the search I feel :)

Ask HN: How does one archive websites like this without being a d-ck?

I want to save this for offline use, but I think recursive wget is a bit poor manners, is there established way one should approach it, get it from archive somehow?

neoromantique··on Spotlighting the World Factbook as We Bid a Fond Farewell
>Blaming DPRK's "economic mismanagement" while making no mention of the Western sanctions on DPRK which are the cause of its catastrophic economic and humanitarian situation

The catastrophic humanitarian situation IS the cause for the sanctions.

>First of all, the Guardian is known to be heavily biased again Musk.

Which is good, that is the sane position to take these days.

In some places that day is today, and has been for a while.

That is a position of privilege.

You can ignore politics, but at certain point, politics cease to ignore you.

neoromantique··on Over 36,500 killed in Iran's deadliest massacre, documents reveal
Justifies? What a privileged position.

It is great shame that fascist US regime is the only real hope and ally of Persian people today, but it is what it is.

(Israel too, but Israel alone cannot do much).

(But I'm sure EU will send a strongly worded letter any day now)

I've been to the protest in Berlin, it's mostly Iranian diaspora there with all my "used-to-be-friends" that turned with Gaza stuff silent as ever.

>In fact, we believe - quite rightly - that if the US had conditioned military assistance to Israel on appropriate care for civilians, then the awful tragedy that unfolded in Gaza could have been averted.

What you saw in Gaza was ALREADY incredible levels of care and restraint (that has cost many Israeli soldiers their lives) to minimize civilian harm, when fighting against an enemy that benefits from increasing said harm.

And the 6 Arab armies were just hanging around in there, yeah?

neoromantique··on Show HN: I quit coding years ago. AI brought me back
Hi! Not the original commenter but I have similar bespoke apps for me and my household.

In my case I just don't expose them to network at all, any interaction happens through bots in IM or on a tablet at home (through wireguard).

Theoretically locking it down with OAuth on proxy level would also work, but I prefer to keep it off the internet (apart from the tunnel, obviously).

Emissions and Energy consumed do not necessarily have to be linked up.

We have plenty of ways to make clean energy, it is only matter of incentives.

As long as burning coal is simply cheaper, business will burn coal.

Nope, you flip the aggressor and the victim.

But thank you for showing your biases so openly.

>when were you vocal on M23, Haiti, Kashmir, Kurds, Muslims in India...

That is the entire point, Gaza protests have been very vocal (and in many cases very misinformed). Human right abuses in Iran are but another example of this blindness.

neoromantique··on Network of Scottish X accounts go dark amid Iran blackout
And? Sentiment has changed drastically after brexit.

I have lived in UK during the referendum, I remember it vividly, nobody seriously believed that it would actually go through, it seemed THAT absurd.

I am still convinced that brexit is one of the first big wins of Russian meddling campaigns.

neoromantique··on Network of Scottish X accounts go dark amid Iran blackout
Yes, but it would make EU stronger, so how does it serve their interests?

If anything it would force UK back into the EU, further strengthening it.

neoromantique··on Network of Scottish X accounts go dark amid Iran blackout
Given that a sentiment for independence of Scotland has only really became an actual topic people discuss semi-seriously after the Brexit, I think it is fair to assume that there is a quite high likelihood of it, and there are quite some EU states that get preferential treatment budget wise, no reason to assume that Scotland cannot become that.

Covid has been global, lockdowns have been everywhere, UK is not unique and did not even have the worst of it in terms of lockdown strictness. While "averaged out" UK economy post-brexit/pre-covid might not look that much worse than EU, if you look into specifics the picture gets far uglier with entire economy sectors going bankrupt, all in all it was a spectacular self inflicted damage that will be felt for decades to come, especially now that US is becoming a hostile actor.

>Makes sense. Russia and friends would seem to have an interest in Scottish independence as it undermines the UK.

Do they? Since Independent Scotland is very likely to rejoin EU it seems to me Russia & co would be interested in keeping it on the sinking ship that is post-brexit UK(economy wise).

or maybe it has something to do with past events (of when they did let them in the past)? Noo, can't be.

If Israel were to be magically relocated to the moon or mars or 'the sea', region would resume the explosion of local wars, now that common enemy briefly uniting them is gone.

1) Cry me a river about bloody dictators being deposed, wah wah.

2) Nobody is asking to "accept Israel's dominance", but dropping the "Destruction of Israel" as one of the main goals of the state would be a quite welcome.

The world does not revolve around Israel, and the less bloody dictators it has (theocratic or not) the better.

neoromantique··on CLI agents make self-hosting on a home server easier and fun
For this reason I have hybrid homelab, with most stuff hosted at home, but critical things I'd need to have running are on a VM in cloud. Best of both worlds.

I have very similar setup, but I use komo.do with netbird.

Which basically accomplishes same thing, but gives a bit more UI for debugging when needed.
