Storage is not just 'a problem', it doesn't exist and won't for many many decades.

The planned solution is hydrogen power plants, but no one wants to build them because the infrastructure, including electrolysers, is way too economically unfeasible.

Therefore, Germany is and will continue to be dependent on coal and gas, as these are the main producers every night. That's your 'grid backup fee' for you.

Because projects like these were missing back then, I got creative with nginx and do not need any config changes to serve new projects:

  server {
    listen 80;
    server_name ~^(?<sub>\w+)(\.|-)(?<port>\d+).*; # projectx-20201-127-0-0-1.nip.io
    root sites/$sub/public_html;
    try_files $uri @backend;
    location @backend {
      proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:$port;
      access_log logs/$sub.access;
    }
  }
Configuration is done via the domain name like projectx-20205-127-0-0-1.nip.io which specifies the directory and port.

All you need to do is create a junction (mklink /J domain folder_path). This maps the domain to a folder.

Creating clips from tv recordings:

    ffmpeg -ss 01:59:00.000 -i "interlaced.ts" -ss 00:00:12.000 -t 26 -max_muxing_queue_size 1024 -c:a libopus -b:a 96k -c:v libx264 -crf 20 -vf "yadif=1" -profile:v baseline -level 3.0 -pix_fmt yuv420p -movflags +faststart -y clip.mp4
Make clip compatible with WhatsApp:
    ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 -map_metadata -1 -map_chapters -1 -c:v libx264 -preset slow -tune film -crf 32 -c:a aac -b:a 128k -profile:v baseline -level 3.0 -pix_fmt yuv420p -movflags +faststart out.mp4
Copying in various terminals:
    PuTTY: select
    tmux: Shift + select
    cmd: select + Enter in quick edit mode
    Windows Terminal: select + Right Click

Introduced arbitrary code execution via ${jndi:ldap://... inside any logged string.

hehe

no threads

node does not have a concurrency and parallelism story

standard library is tiny

Also claims like "async makes your program more difficult to reason about" without any explanation.

I hereby claim that goroutines and mutexes make your program more difficult to reason about.

the ecosystem is an absolute dumpster fire

I am super curious which ecosystem that person would consider better.

I think many people feel threatened by the success and the pace of the Node.js ecosystem.

Most arguments, even in this thread already, are just wrong. Obviously they have never had any experience with the Node.js ecosystem and another.

IPv4 pricing 5 years ago

With the rotating IPv4 you at least have the possibility to make yourself more anonymous. IPv6 takes that decision away from you.

You would probably have the same level of reliability with an IPv4 database currently

That is... a lie. The selling point of today's internet is that you are anonymous.

Also I don't know which "easier ways to track people" you mean.

IPv4 pricing 5 years ago

This enables to track users not only across websites but across the entire internet.

It wouldn't surprise me if there are already databases which map IPv6 subnets to real names, addresses, banking data, ...

And anyone could just use that database or contribute to it.

IPv4 pricing 5 years ago

The problem I have is that IPv6 is unusable right now.

Most server software cannot properly handle blocking of increasing IPv6 subnets.

And not only that, but my ISP assigns the same /64 subnet to me for months. Who needs cookies anymore if you can just track the /64? Even unplugging the router for a day won't assign a different prefix for me.

Sorry Jeff, but your post from today is simply stupid.

Think only about the embedded programming… do you really think that you can create a web app to control your washer?

Or do you want a web interface to drive your car?!?

Get out of your cubicle and look around… you’ll see that there is something else running outside your server and browser.

By the way, are you planning to create a web app for the BIOS of your computer?

Yes, to all :D

Those comments are golden.
