tutfbhuf··on Freenode ops take control of 700 channels
Maybe everything goes according to Lee's plan, who knows.
tutfbhuf··on Immudb 1.0 – open-source, immutable database with SQL and verified timetravel
I would like to have such a database based on git. Where every change is a git commit. This should then work with things like github where you can connect to your database via github api. The db git repositories could be either private or even public. You can then deploy a serverless webpage to gh-pages and use a serverless gh-gitdb as storage.

serverless := you don't have to operate the infrastructure yourself

tutfbhuf··on Court orders WhatsApp to suspend users sharing pirated movie
This is of course great, but such hash based filters for images or videos can be circumvented easily by just flipping one bit (without corrupting the file). I guess what we really need is some kind of ML trained filter that has a great rate of success and a very low false positive rate.
tutfbhuf··on Court orders WhatsApp to suspend users sharing pirated movie
You cannot and should not be able to use a hash or rainbow table for encrypted messages. If that is possible (you don't use a nonce), then your encryption is broken since many common messages can be looked up in a rainbow table and you can use replay attacks.
tutfbhuf··on “I Could Rewrite Curl”
Then in a few days we will see the following headline on HN: "No, You Couldn't Rewrite Curl".
tutfbhuf··on Fierce Nerds
It is possible on HN to hide certain posts. I really like this feature. I wonder whether it is possible to hide some websites like paulgraham.com altogether. That would be great.
tutfbhuf··on Voyager 1 hears the hush of interstellar plasma
How much Watt do they have now 20 years later in 2021?
tutfbhuf··on Hacker News Classics (2018)
> centrally located

That's not necessarily a good thing. Think of a fire.

tutfbhuf··on Deep Diving into the Strengths of FreeBSD
I agree there are still some FreeBSD only features for ZFS, but the gap is getting smaller and smaller. So unless you are really depended on some of those features, there is no particular reason of why to prefer FreeBSD over Linux, unlike a few years ago.
tutfbhuf··on Deep Diving into the Strengths of FreeBSD
True, but Linux is also a first-class citizen in the OpenZFS project. The argument that was made earlier is that FreeBSD is so nice, because of its superior ZFS integration. This has been true for a long time and as such I agree with OP.

However, since the ZFS code basis is now the same for Linux and FreeBSD (which I also agree is a good thing) I don't think we will have the same superior FreeBSD ZFS argument anymore. And people who are in favor of FreeBSD over Linux have to provide other pro arguments than ZFS in order to make a case for FreeBSD.

tutfbhuf··on JavaScript for Shell Scripting
How do you deal with it, when you are writing bash scripts?
tutfbhuf··on Crazy New Ideas
It could be very easy. Just hide all posts from that specific website, a very easy filter, not classification problem.

> It's really easy to just move your eyes to the next line.

Well if it's that easy, then why is there an hide button on HN in the first place?

tutfbhuf··on Crazy New Ideas
Is it possible to add a HN filter (hide) all paulgraham.com posts? I'm not interested in his posts and they pop up very often on HN.
tutfbhuf··on Amazon’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ series will cost at least $465M for first season
Why do you think it is overrated?
tutfbhuf··on TorBox v.0.4.0
> Shadowsocks is a free and open-source encryption protocol project, widely used in China to circumvent Internet censorship. It was created in 2012 by a Chinese programmer named "clowwindy", and multiple implementations of the protocol have been made available since.

tutfbhuf··on When real world mapping meets Tolkien
I would like to have a trained neural network that can generate Tolkien maps from existing map images and a filter for google maps or OpenStreetMap that can render the maps in Tolkien mode.
tutfbhuf··on Raspberry Pi 2.5 Gbps OMV NAS Performance
> 10G was too much of a leap, IMO, so the hardware remains expensive.

Switches are still quiet expensive, but 10G cards are quiet affordable nowadays. Notebooks can use a Thunderbolt 3 to 10G ethernet, but I think we will see 10G ports one consumer notebooks soon.

I wouldn't invest in a bridge technology like 2.5G since it introduces non-trivial costs an offers only 2.5x speed up instead of 10x.

tutfbhuf··on PHP's Git server compromised, moving to GitHub
Maybe the person that reported the exploit to Zerodium already cashed out in mid 2017 and was angry that the exploit hasn't been fixed yet. Therefore, he decided to make it very obvious and force php to react.
tutfbhuf··on A “Better C” Benchmark
How about 50 years old whiskey in a cask?
tutfbhuf··on Let's Encrypt's performance is currently degraded due to a DDoS attack
Seems like a sane default to me.
tutfbhuf··on Internet Archive Infrastructure
A hybrid solution might be possible. Put your core infra on AWS, but get a very cheap CDN (or custom solution) in front of it to handle the 60Gbps so that only a small fraction will hit your AWS infra. Do the same for storage, e.g. build your own ceph cluster on bare-metal instead of Amazon S3.
tutfbhuf··on Internet Archive Infrastructure
It seems that companies can be too big for the cloud and too small for the cloud (don't need k8s). I wonder what's the sweet spot.
tutfbhuf··on Take a look at Nomad before jumping on Kubernetes
> Any engineer worth his salt

... will build deep understanding and accumulate knowledge over the years. I won't deny that you could learn Nomad fast, but becoming an expert in some domain really takes some time.

tutfbhuf··on Take a look at Nomad before jumping on Kubernetes
I think operators are great and true to the k8s spirit. You describe your desired state (e.g. a postgres database) according to a CRD. And the operator will make your yaml definition become reality. I think the declarative approach is a big improvement over the imperative step-by-step setup. I rather like to describe how I would like things to be, instead of having to create the desired state myself.
tutfbhuf··on Take a look at Nomad before jumping on Kubernetes
If public cloud providers would offer Nomad, then it would only be a question of time until managed Nomad would be a thing.

Managed _something_ does not mean it's "mind-bendingly complex", but rather that people don't want to take care about it and focus on their own stuff like building applications.

tutfbhuf··on Take a look at Nomad before jumping on Kubernetes
It's a thing of personal preference and requirements. I can easily see that there are requirements where Nomad is a better fit. However, I also have to say that Kubernetes has clearly won the battle a will be the safe choice for most companies for the years to come. It will be much easier to find knowledgeable DevOps and SRE workforce for k8s, than any other orchestrator alternative.
tutfbhuf··on Show HN: Redbean – Single-file distributable web server
Is it that this binary does some tricks to run on Linux, Mac, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, BIOS or does it really work on all operating systems including something like Plan 9 or even TempleOS?

And does it run on different architectures like ARMv6?

tutfbhuf··on Show HN: Can’t afford Bloomberg Terminal? No prob, I built the next best thing
How about Thomson Reuters Eikon the next best cheaper Bloomberg Terminal?

tutfbhuf··on Bitfinex and Tether required to end all trading activity with New Yorkers
> There is an easy way. Swap USDT to USDC on Curve. Deposit USDC on Coinbase. Convert USDC to USD on Coinbase. Withdraw USD.

Then what is your explanation for why it is not possible to directly exchange USDT for USD, there must be a reason that no exchange wants to do that.

> that most of the market doesn't perceive a risk.

That is absolutely no indicator for safety.

tutfbhuf··on You need to be able to run your system
> and you may need an environment as large as your production one.

Yes, but isn't that exactly what the author suggests?
