Time, is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so.
Yep, same here
MAC + Temporary Containers extension is how web browsing should be handled by default imo
No website deserves permanence of any data in my browser unless I so choose
I haven't seen similar functionality in any of the new generation of browsers, nor any of the Firefox spinoffs as-yet
That's the direction container runtimes are trending
Amazon has been doing it with Firecracker for a while and Kata containers is another popular one
What a surprise, a brand new account that seems to only spew negativity and false information. Reddit might be more your style ;)
I just replaced a 2009 MacPro
It had many hardware upgrades over the years - upgraded CPUs, 128GB RAM, 4TB NVME storage, a modern AMD GPU, USB3/c, thunderbolt, etc
The only reason it got replaced is because it became too much of a PITA to keep modern OSX running on it (via OCLP)
Replaced with an M4 Max Mac Studio, which is a nice and faster machine but with no ability to upgrade anything and much worse hardware resale value on M-series I'll have to replace it in 2-3 years
Yes you can still update to 15.7.3 the usual way in Settings
It'll present you the Tahoe upgrade but underneath in small print it'll show other updates, which you have to then open and manually select the 15.7.3 update
And you really should keep up on the point updates because there's been a ton of major security patches since 15.4
What you call scaling up sounds more like monetization. Others (especially customers) might call it enshittification instead. Youtube is a great example of how bad it can get.
Why Mozilla won't let people financially contribute directly to Firefox development and continues to pursue these stupid monetization paths is a mystery.
HN hasn't focused on those topics in a long time, they rarely are on the front page. Skip the top 20 articles and you'll start to see some interesting content instead of all the VC & AI drivel.
Hackaday is a content aggregator site that usually has more content on these topics - https://hackaday.com
Or there are still some good old blogs out there with RSS feeds http://www.righto.com/ http://oldvcr.blogspot.com/ https://blog.ret2.io/
Possibly the most common open source mailing list software, mailman, has had configuration options to address both email address and header exposure for at least 15 years
At least with email, you're in control of what shows up in your inbox as well as message routing with filters of your choice
Interesting to see this utilizes kata-containers project alongside virtualization.framework. Cool project.
I keep a SPARCStation 20 around for some nostalgia
NetBSD still supports it, and a wide variety of other SPARC systems https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/sparc64/
Agreed
cries in .x3f & Sigma Photo Pro
The gaming isn't quite like CS, more 'tactical' oriented, but the modding scene is good - Ground Branch
It's worse than that - SLS siply can't do what it was supposed to on paper even after 10's of billions, resulting in the secondary boondoggle of the Lunar Gateway which will waste billions more and still fail to achieve lunar-relevant
can someone outside of NASA send requests to Voyager to change its code?
Unless you've got your own very-very high power transmitters and large dishes, you're not communicating with either Voyager satellite
"Newer" science & research satellites from the late 2000s onward do support a variety of encryption in transit and authentication from the ground stations
Surely the corporation that built the on-device scanning and recognition that runs on your opaque little computer box to find pictures of your dog wouldn't lie or "accidentally" keep the csam scanning running on the device too?
And certainly the corporation couldn't be be coerced by the government that's built the largest surveillance apparatus in human history to keep the csam feature running on billions of devices?
Yes, the corporation can be trusted.

Depends on your workloads and needs. It's not as mature as k8s and there are rough edges but if you're into the Hashicorp ecosystem and can run your workloads in FreeBSD jails it's pretty slick - think golang & rust apps, web, gaming servers, etc
A couple of tools which are both working on jail management & packaging
- bastille https://bastillebsd.org
- pot https://potluck.honeyguide.net
bastille is great for personal and small setups, pot is aimed at larger scale and meant to be used along with hashicorp nomad+consul
At this point, why not switch to using a real database like mariadb or postgresql? These days you don't even have to run it yourself, every cloud provider offers it as a service and can handle backups, patching, replication for you
the last big us-east-1 outage was ... DNS - and it's usually DNS or software-defined core networking causing these cascading failures
Loss of DNS causes inter-service api calls to fail, then IAM and all other services fail. Anything not built to handle those situations with backoff causes a 'stampeding herd' of failure/retry and exacerbate the outage
Review the AWS statements about outages here - https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/technology/pes/
OpenWRT runs on some Ubiquiti hardware, check their compatibility list
Or stop using the crap YT frontent entirely - https://yewtu.be
Run your own alternate frontend - https://github.com/iv-org/invidious
For Firefox there's also https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl
One more extension related to container management - https://github.com/kintesh/containerise
This lets you set regex/wildcard to contain subdomain or redirect happy sites into a single container
Another game with good gunplay, fast action, and a CS-like feel is Insurgency: Sandstorm
Firecracker has been running AWS Lambda & Fargate for a few years now

There's also similar microVM project with a bit more container-focused support called Kata
Can Ventura run x86 VMs on M1/M2?
I thought it was only able to run ARM VMs which can _utilize_ rosetta to run x86 code?

That's a generic and well documented stack that utilizes GCP defaults and works out of the box. An "expert" should not take a month to fail to set it up.
I've deployed similar, additionally including GKE, via terraform in a day - Checking TF code for an example 3-env GCP/GKE/CloudSQL stack it's less than 300 LoC
That said, it's not all good - my ongoing complaint with terraforming GCP is that the provider lags behind the features & config available in GCP console - worse than the AWS provider - especially w/r/t GKE and CloudSQL
not sure why this kind of 'sky is falling' post is allowed, particularly when there's no useful information provided
- status boards are rarely up to date, make sure you have your own internal/external monitoring
- a single vm instance does not indicate the health of an entire region. instances can be stopped for a variety of reasons, check the maintenance log and vm console
- when using cloud resources, architecture should not be dependent on a single vm instance
- your cloud architecture and app code should be built to handle transient failures from the start - queueing, retries, backoffs, load-shedding, graceful state failure, etc. use cloud-native services when possible, lift-and-shift of traditional vm architecture to the cloud can be operationally difficult and expensive to run
There's alot that goes into a mail server stack, but it's no more complicated than k8s or other stacks these days. My preferred setup is rspamd/postfix/dovecot/roundcube. The docs are good and the mailing lists are active & archived for easy searching
For a pre-packaged mailserver environment, take a look at mailcow or mailinabox
There's a variety of ansible/chef/puppet up on github that can also be used to setup the invididual component
I've been using matterbridge[1] to bring all sorts of 'modern' non-standard-compliant chat services back to my irc client[2]
