I've not been a fan of Reddit in a while, but I do appreciate a useful asynchronous human interaction. I think reddit lost the useful humans a few bad ideas ago but I'm not well versed in that drama. I'm curious what HN minds

I'm likely naive, but I'm very excited about a future that abandons the web and builds on reticulum. But I worry that the same flaws will be replicated out of habit instead of using it as a chance to avoid the dark paths. Reticul

PXE is one of those easy to take for granted without appreciation for how much of a PIA it is to get working sometimes. I run a homelab PXE & NFSboot, so no hard drives in the homelab. Works great until I do something to bork it up. I

I'm sorry, David, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Sounds like adict talk to me ;) Seriously though, the legit claims of benefits are from people who need outreach and don't want to pay for advertising. But your favorite taco truck gets attention while you get to slip into depressive

I wonder I'd that's the math for the ludicrous space data center ideas "floating" around...

Everyone has an anecdote of the immigrant they know who's a much better "American" in their values. The same for anecdotes of the people with the least American values being home grown and inbred

Are you under the impression that the starlink terminals in Iran are for US military?

Im not sure that's an honest rhetoric, we have seen many other things in the last few years that have increased the demand for compute. It would seem lunacy to propose, to accelerate the miniaturization of compute we need to send a b

Suarez is, IMO, very good at researching current/near tech and mixing it into a good story about what is possible with what we have right now. Nothing in the books is really out of our reach except the will and perhaps strategic disci

My point is this path doesn't lead to the future, it leads to the sad state of space between Apollo and this Shark Jump. The first Orion (nuclear pulse) has a much more interesting story and would have made us an interplanetary species

My pessimism comes from a hindsight that the Apollo missions, while amazing failed to create the future they promised. Looking at how the missions were designed, the political focus, the academic infighting of NASA scientists trying to kee

As a long time space nerd, I'm not sure what this accomplishes by repeating the previous stunts that failed to usher in the promised space frontier. Apollo was, IMO, not successful at changing the course of human history. A really coo

I always thought of them as the same.basic idea, but CJD went on to make a network crypto thing that I never really understood. Ygg and cjdns are the same from a cosmetic point of view just different developers. IMO ygg is easy to install,

I don't recall the year but it was a long while ago, the developer and CJD from cjdns were chatting about ygg, very similar projects just different projects. The point was to put routing and privacy at the foundation of "the inter

I guess I was a little distracted by the tangent to starship over the orion/Artemis I was disappointed to see that after all these years NASA trying the old trick again and hoping people get excited. As for spaceX and starship, I haven

"Project Gemini has entered the chat." Did I do that right? Anyway, what are we talking about?

I guess I have no sympathy for the addicts, let the social media hyper capitalists consume your FOMO lives, I'll find value elsewhere. It is sad to see how pathetic we are and yet have so much potential.

I guess I don't have a problem with a social media site blocking speech, we don't have to use them, if they are too draconian, nobody will. But IRL it gets harder if ISPs get involved. I'm more interested in democratized plat

A room full of people in charge of the most power nation wouldn't fall prey to something like false dichotomy, during an important address to said nation? Would they...?

I agree that free speech is free speech, the private org that runs the platform has a veto, the assumption that these platforms are the equivilant of stepping into the street to stand on a box is a not realistic. Even HN is only quasi-free

An interesting experiment, I think I'm too uncomfortable leaking data I don't yet know why someone would curate to me free of charge until I knew. If there was a FOSS suite like Home Assistant that would do a few of those things I

I've used Zim for this over the last 20 years. Its a mess but with search I can find what I'm looking for if I was good enough. For especially tricky trouble shooting I'll put in each theory and strike it out so at least i
