Please don’t suck.

The micro VPS is actually only 10 cents per month on Tierhive, so only $1.20 per year :)

I'm rocking one right now and it's surprisingly useful.

This guide and all the other guides by @backtogeek for setting up minimal OS installs in 128 MB RAM are fantstic.

My favourite is the one for running Alpine in 23 MB of RAM: https://tierhive.com/blog/tierhive-howto/how-to-run-alpine-w...

The point is that in order for Russians to use Starlink in combat operations in Ukraine, they first have to import them to Russia. All non-whitelisted Starlink terminals entering Russia should be immediately bricked to prevent this. It's an important part for denying Russians the use of Starlink.

It’s missing the part that any non-whitelisted Starlink terminal entering Russian territory should automatically be blocked.

This would deny all Russians the use of Starlink.

Simple solutions: block all Starlink terminals that aren’t whitelisted upon entering Russian territory or Ukrainian conflict zones.

This will prevent Russians importing Starlink terminals and then deploying them in Ukraine.

Work with Ukrainians to whitelist all their terminals.

It wasn’t at the time.

Not to take away from NetNewsWires accomplishments, but getting it was such a disappointment. Adding insult to injury, I had to pay to get the app on my iPad. It was one of the few apps I paid for and all I got was a deep sense of wasted money.

Since the demise of Byline, I’ve been rocking Inoreader and have had no reason to look back.

All I miss is Google Reader, but that’s never coming back.

The only new thing I want in an RSS reader is a handsfree, voice only mode. Being able to listen to RSS articles and navigating by voice commands.

Just give me an RSS reader with a voice UI and text to speech.

Airlines already use an average cost per passenger.

What you are looking for is charging passengers per weight.

I feel like the most sensible policy is requiring licenses for e-bikes above a certain power level (not easy!) and then bringing parity to the treatment of cars vs e-bikes after that

Au contraire, it is fairly easy.

Around here, e-vehicles are classified according to weight, power amd max speed. These parameters define where and how you can use them, what features are required, what protective gear is required and what licenses or insurance are required to operate them.

When French nuclear plants get shut down for months at a time for maintenance what happens?

You reconsider your life choices and hire the Finnish to run your nuclear power plants instead.

The reason why batteries and pumped storage and syngas arent popular is because they cant beat the economics of gas for peaking capacity.

It’s not even just the economics that rule out batteries and pumped storage. Where are you going to put all that pumped storage? Where are you going to get all the batteries you need? Not that many batteries are produced compared to the world’s energy needs.

The jury is still out on syngas. So far it’s expensive and inefficient. But it’s still early days.

the fact its a horrible peaker

Why on earth would you run a nuclear power plant as a peaker? That’s inefficient and wasteful. You run a nuclear power plant at full tilt, all the time. Then you divy up any excess demand to other sources of power.

So yeah, exorcising nuclear seems like a pretty fantastic idea, for cost, environmental and pacifist reasons.

This seems to be a wonderful idea, as long as you assume nobody lives above the 60th parallel and don’t mind on relying on CO2 producing power sources.

Pi-hole can be configured to use any dns resolver you like.

All you have to do is install a dns resolver that supports prefetching to keep the cache hot, such as the Knot resolver.

I fail to see how the above comment is in any way relevant to the discussion of this thread.

This is pretty delusional.

Somebody has to run the network. Employees need salaries. Things break and wear out. Customers need service. Billing isn’t free.

Caches do not break net neutrality.

Nothing wrong with the concept of net neutrality. Implementations may be lacking, but I do not recall any major issues with the EU regulations. Perhaps all the perceived silliness is a result of the US legislature?

What’s the big deal? It’s just a content cache. You can get dedicated cache appliances directly from Netflix for free if you have a large enough customer base.

Amazon sucks extra hard because their search functionality is garbage tier.

It wouldn’t be so bad if you actually could filter out slop, but no!

Search results show random crap with no relation to search terms and even changing the display order changes what products you see!

It all feels very intentional and a prime example of enshittification.

No issues with new reddit here. Old reddit just serves "You broke Reddit".

The CRS312 only supports 2K NAT entries in hardware, which is very little.

Why do you imply that non mandatory conscription means that the poor or desperate will be the ones to enroll?

Because the army is the employer of last resort. It is what you do when you have no other options.

This is definitely one of those citation needed comments.

Firstly, professional armies are recruited from the general population and are on average no better or worse than conscripts.

Secondly, the above comment completely sidesteps the moral aspects. Why should the burden of military service fall predominantly on the poor and the desperate? Why should decision makers be able to only send other people’s children to war?

Anyway, I agree that mandatory drafting should not be reintroduced.

Why not? Why should the burden only fall on the poor and the desperate?

For reference, Finland has universal conscription. The question over here is, why are women excluded?

This is excellent!

Perfect comprehension and no problem even with bad accents.

Matrix sucks rocks. Zulip is where it’s at.

Why bother when you can get a complete X86 mini pc for less?

Just pick up an N100 with 4x2.5G ports.

Next up: Tivo for Youtube

HN is lacking in that you cannot hide threads/comments already seen.

Not that I disagree that things are more expensive on AWS, but this is a bit simplistic, not to mention apples to oranges.

1) You cannot buy just one IPv4 address, you have to buy at least 256.

2) Owning address space isn’t free, you have to pay RIR fees. Fees depend on your region, but start at around a grand per year.

Why are you quoting somebody else when replying to me?

You’ll have to be more specific about what you mean by dark votes.
