HN user saulrh mentioned that the list of requirements "does not seem incredibly unusual" for enterprise setups with AMT on.

Pre-Meltdown/Spectre this was 2017's "big deal" re:Intel; nearly all of the varying degrees of paranoia in the previous discusson seem a lot more reasonable with the benefit of hindsight. (If any more AMT info has become available thanks to Meltdown/Spectre-enhanced reverse engineering I would appreciate a heads-up; example vs SGX: https://github.com/lsds/spectre-attack-sgx)

Of all the previous tmux discussions, the most practical help was given when this article was discussed 2 months ago:

perlgod: I've spent years tweaking my mail server setup (Postfix, Dovecot, RSPAMD, LDAP...) and did a full writeup a few months ago. I've used other guides online but found most of the rest lacking on details

For anyone willing to take the risk, another 3rd party service currently free was promoted on HN 6 months ago:

opie34: A friend and I put together a free dynamic DNS service [1] offering cool custom domains aimed at the Raspberry Pi community (and similar hardware hackers.) It's not strictly a hardware project, but it's a crucial building block for any network-enabled Raspberry Pi project, and we'd love your feedback.

Unfortunately downvote to disagree has been officially endorsed as inevitable. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12330029#12330373

I wish there was even the tiniest bit of public accountability! Even user profile totals of upvotes, downvotes, comments, and flags would be a usable signal. Maybe one of the perks of being a YC company is seeing which accounts downvoted yours... ;)

My perspective grows stronger every time someone close to me dies: the true value in photos is the faces. As a tech person, that is where I try to maximize my pixel budget.

I actually prefer candid home video infinitely more -- most pictures on social networks are as authentic as pornography stills.

Is there any phone app that purposely records video in the background without turning on the screen? I wouldn't care as much if people holding up their phones weren't shining back at me. I assume this is possible with audio, though concert audio is usually way too loud to record on a phone without additional equipment.

I believe this may not even be possible due to privacy issues, hidden cameras / recording without consent is enough of a problem already!

How did people do that before there were cell phones?

Trust the babysitter to make wise choices. This is actully really tough as cell phones end up lowering the standard expected of babysitters, like the whole GPS/map thing.

Why not both?!! (summarizing tweets occasionally)

Perhaps a resurrection of the Redis Watch newsletter is in order! Are there any existing alternatives?

Is this gRPC the same thing as golang net/rpc referred to here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16170116? I don't think so but I've never used either one.

seniorsassycat: I don't understand why AWS released Go support instead of binary support and I don't understand why they chose to rely on go's net/rpc [...] which encodes objects using Go's special [gobs] binary format

I'm a big fan and I hope you see this comment before the edit window passes (unlikely, unfortunately):

You need to get yourself some whitespace in this reply!

It was my improvisational approach to pointing in the right direction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes,_and....

I don't really see how replication/HA is an issue in this setup beyond normal file system replication/HA (which seems to be a solved "spend money on NAS" problem in the enterprise world). If your filesystem isn't reliable / delivering what's needed then you're gonna have a bad time no matter the storage approach; I doubt some unusual option is involved though it would be cool to be proven wrong.

The only time the filesystem could even potentially have read/write conflicts (assuming 1-to-1 correlation between devices writing to files) is when querying. I did wind up muddling the terminology in the interest of jumping to the actual problem.

A secure wallet is not super helpful if immediately cashing out (to fiat), right?

A legitimate, soup-to-nuts "turn one email into $___ in cash" walkthrough (perhaps the beginnings of which is below, though I can't personally vouch for it) would do well!

(Search "2. Stellar" [no quotes] twice; does anyone know how to link directly on Medium? This piece focuses more on breadth than depth, covering multiple cryptocurrencies. The only useful Stellar info there seems to be https://launch.stellar.org/#/login)

Not sure which comment you're referring to specifically, perhaps https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16216329#16217304?

swanson: Related to the Coinbase/insider trading noise around BCH a few weeks ago, it seems strange for Stripe to plug other alt-coins (OMG, Stellar, etc) in the post as things they view as "promising" and "imagine enabling support for". I don't think it's illegal nor unethical personally, but it is such a dicey topic that I'm surprised to see someone writing without a mountain of disclaimers on an official Stripe communication channel

>ChristianBundy: FYI, Stripe has been very transparent in the fact that they believe (and have pumped millions of dollars into) Stellar

the SQLite packaged with Android is being upgraded to version 3.6.22 in Android 2.2. I think that the SQLite database corruption bug linked in comment 451 has been fixed in Android 2.2. So _if_ that's what's causing the text message database corruption and deletion, then this bug will probably be fixed in Android 2.2

http://sqlite.1065341.n5.nabble.com/Android-database-corrupt...

Statically link your application against SQLite 3.6.23 instead of using the SQLite 3.5.9 that is found on Android. The bug you are hitting was fixed in SQLite 3.6.2

Contrast https://web.archive.org/web/20110219041419/https://www.sqlit... (Feb 2011) vs. https://web.archive.org/web/20110729152833/https://www.sqlit... (July 2011), which could be a glitch in the Internet Archive (a partial copy of the oldest record?) but adds "Though SQLite is resistant to database corruption, it is not immune" and introduced an extensive history of known issues.

Sqlite is amazing and its development history is further testament to its current reliability, especially when used correctly!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQLite#History

used aboard guided missile destroyers [...] operated without installing a database management system or requiring a database administrator

PS. Thanks to your question, today I re-discovered https://unqlite.org, which may fulfill a requirement I've been facing for some time. Awesome!

Do you also use a shitty computer just to protect yourself from addictive video games?

I've given serious consideration to limiting myself to mobile versions of the game I'm addicted to, but I can't answer 'yes' yet!

I can also vouch for the effectiveness of this strategy based on slow motion Street Fighter 4 on a machine with an integrated graphics card.

you don't get points when your submissions are upvoted

Points are awarded but it is not 1-to-1 with upvotes.

I have not heard of any cases of SQLite failure in phone, or anyone needing a DB admin to recover their phone contact data.

For a long time (until API level 11), Android automatically silently deleted corrupted SQLite databases. https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/12388#33896 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7764943

I learned the hard way to limit SMS storage and install Jan Berkel's SMS Backup+ https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/#readme after losing my first Android SMS database (this may or may not have been SQLite's fault).

Yes, collecting/aggregating for querying seems like the sticking point.

I hope things work out at least as well as they have for RethinkDB's resurrection/transition! The Riak Users mailing list seems like the best place to follow along: http://riak-users.197444.n3.nabble.com

There was a similar sub-discussion on the Datomic Cloud announcement last week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16168041#16168743

As an open source product it seems like TimescaleDB is less risky than Datomic. (Not that the comparison is even necessary -- I don't think they compete in the same category apart from both being non-relational DBs.)

[edit:link fixed, thanks! (and thanks for taking the time to correct my misunderstanding re:TimescaleDB as a relational DB)]

https://hn.algolia.com/?query=3d%20fractal -> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=935241 (Nov 2009)

But unless you read HN for 5+ years without creating an account, the exact discussion you recall may be some other search result there.

mrob: the Wikipedia page is a better starting point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbulb

PS. Algolia seems a bit finicky, a couple of these were on the second page of results for the first search: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=3d%20fractal%20comments%3E0&so.... I always hate how they show different results for plurals, but this is a new problem I'll keep in mind (sort by popularity doesn't work?).

Props for hanging in there as long as they did!
