It seems to be very popular on this site to condemn surveillance capitalism and billionaires. But who built and still maintains the basis for their power, misusing it and the billions. So-called smart engineers like many of HN readers. If

I don't want to host in a country where a wannabe king breaks the law continously, who treats former allies like enemies etc etc Which country do you recommend? Offshore on my own boat?

I use Clouldflare DoT and enabled validation in systemd-resolved some time ago. Not because I would be particularly paranoid, but more out of curiosity how it works. I noticed no problems, except for with Atlassian. They use 2 second level

I looked at some other cities I know a bit. Those "facts" are typical AI slop. Not always completely wrong, but stereotypes you will easily find on the internet.

It was the default on SUSE / OpenSUSE for years. Haven't used them for a while, not sure whether it still is. No problems with basic functionality including snapshots. I believe some RAID configurations were experimental for long

There you can see true democracy. Some of the same people are backing competing proposals. Not claiming that there were a single truth and give voters true choice. Remains to be seen whether their complicated voting system [1] comes up wit

Exactly. My immediate reaction was: A violation of HN submission guidelines. Linux is project of many contributors / companies. For sure Igalia is a valuable contributor and I would not doubt to recommend them for serious Linux work, b

Has it ever been a thing in most companies? I have seen definitely more bad code and negligance than serious, skillful attempts to write clean code. Which rules do you think are particularly outdated?

Haven't you noticed that LLM are a vastly unethical technology? Stolen content processed using amongst others slave labor from Africa and huge environmental impact. Paid by the average computer buyer today. Yes, my employer strongly en

No. Did you read the OVH story linked by user kvemkom? https://www.heise.de/en/news/Canadian-Court-OVHcloud-from-Fr... A difference could be that Germany might not have such blocking law as France. At least I have

This was submitted 2 weeks ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48947548 Seems more entertaining than suitable for real analysis. At least I did not see any collected data. You can just watch what happens at this moment

Interesting thread. However, for over a year, the "secure email provider" did not reply more than that the consultants are too overloaded to reply... The message you obviously refer to as just an educated guess by a forum user who

Copilot CLI (we get that at work) often uses slightly low-level and cryptic git commands. Never noticed that it would use --end-of-options though. Should check what it does with branch names starting with a dash. Of course that wouldn'

Like the von Neumann architecture. Your data can be misused as code. Don't see that we get rid of either command lines in text or von Neumann any time soon.

Isn't this anti-news? I vaguely remember they have stopped introducing leap seconds until further notice because they cause too much trouble with today's computing systems. On my phone now and did not research it, as I say vaguely

In Finland many news outlets had the same headline, but needed to correct it. It's the last big operator who closed their network. There are still a couple of smaller local operators that have not yet stopped. Finland traditionally had
