Congratulations on all your progress especially creating the worlds tiniest programming language in the world with GC!
Datagenerator··on Tell HN: AWS warns us about irregular activity related to Log4shell
Maybe it's just advertising using this period to point at products like GuardDuty. These are golden times for most vendors and suppliers of anything Security related.
Datagenerator··on Windows 11 Officially Shuts Down Firefox’s Default Browser Workaround
That's the moment you fire up Firefox without prefetch nor studies and enjoy the peaceful DNS logs without the constant telemetry calls to LinkedIn and to all interested 3rd parties, five eyes etc
Datagenerator··on Tell HN: Azure is having a major outage
Thanks for sharing this wonderful quote.
Datagenerator··on Win-Vind: Become an instant ninja in operating Windows at the speed of thought
Can you remove the spyware and telemetry too?
Datagenerator··on Putty maintainer on his attitude towards security and open source
This software limits the user with a maximum of allowed sessions.
Datagenerator··on Using Nginx as an Object Storage Gateway
Until you used Caddy?
Datagenerator··on Microsoft’s new Windows prompts try to stop people downloading Chrome
Debian 11 with Firefox for me. Firefox does need some tuning like opting out of any studies and telemetry. Verified with tshark until it really doesn't prefetch all previously visited sites and bookmarks. Some sites are able to request infinite invisible visits somehow but it's stoppable and Firefox at least gives the user the freedom to do something about it.
Datagenerator··on Show HN: Life Simulation Written in Rust
That would be great. Another awesome screensaver is called substrate and included in the set 1) by Jamie Zawinski ( among the founders of Netscape and Mozilla ).

Datagenerator··on Ask HN: What are the best-designed things you've ever used?
ZFS. Complete research companies unknowingly depend on the utmost reliability and flexibility ZFS has to offer. Started right with the first version included in FreeBSD in production use and never failed once while being the central storage connected to multiple HPC clusters with millions upon millions of rather small but also some vary large files. While offering five nines of uptime we even had to ability to send efficient binary forever incremental differential snapshots to remote DR locations. Meanwhile we saw many large crashed sites at companies which had downtimes of weeks using lustre. ZFS even got hated by management because it's not giving them fancy relationships with the normies using HP/Dell. So the last ten years are probably the best ZFS got here because some instructed architect is looking for commercial replacement but nothing better seems available.
Datagenerator··on RasPBX Installation for Beginners
This is guaranteed to give you more privacy because the data stays inside your own VPN. When using any 3rd party infrastructure all packets can be silently duplicated/mirrored to snooped upon by altering setup and teardown, e.g. mitmproxy.
Datagenerator··on A Gov.uk site dedicated to porn?
The most logical to me is, they registered some AWS IPv4 address for one project. Bill didn't get payed and now another customer has been appointed to the same address but now with totally different content. DNS admins at the government forgot about it and here we are.
Datagenerator··on AWS free tier data transfer expansion
Digital Ocean could be interesting. Used to AWS and Azure but DO is doing great too
Datagenerator··on I wish systemd logged information about the source of “transactions”
The acronym POLA translates to peace where systemd creates havoc and burns many hours globally having people investigate what the heck is going on in this almost binary blob of spaghetti.
Datagenerator··on YARP – Microsoft toolkit to build fast reverse proxy servers
Or Caddy?
Datagenerator··on Demystifying OpenZFS 2.0
>7PB on ZFS in production here. No vendor support, FreeBSD with send/receive pairs to another 7PB location monitoring with Grafana, delayed sync so we always have proper DR available.
Datagenerator··on The Truth Shall Make You Free: Catholicism and the CIA
Her willingness to be used by the kings of the earth is mentioned in Revelations but that relationship ends disastrous: "And the ten horns that you saw and the wild beast, these will hate the prostitute and will make her devastated and naked, and they will eat up her flesh and completely burn her with fire." ( Rev. 17:16 )
Datagenerator··on .plan
Thanks, looks useful
Datagenerator··on Restic – Backups Done Right
Same goes for S3 support, working great. Been using MinIO and SeaweedFS as target, works identical to native AWS.
Datagenerator··on Fantasy Map Generator (2018)
And the pure assembly demo's showing realtime Mars like landscapes, my brother was always looking for precomputed tables to avoid the expensive div and mul, fun times. Software was optimized in size and execution speed in the early days. Also remember the first voxel based flight simulation like Novalogic's Comanche.
Datagenerator··on Google service outages in Europe
I used my own DNS and changed to 8.8.8.8 to no avail. Something in the Google infrastructure was failing badly.
Datagenerator··on WSL2 can now mount Linux ext4 disks directly
So encrypt your second Linux drive otherwise Microsoft data harvesting might want to take a peek into it.
Datagenerator··on Library Genesis Desktop app, now with IPFS support
Depending on centralized CDN's with logging is not using native IPFS, correct if wrong
Datagenerator··on SSH alternatives for mobile, low-latency or unreliable connections
Tried rclone yet? Does it all, parallel and fast.
Datagenerator··on We are recreating the entire planet in Minecraft
Didn't they mention Minetest which doesn't have limited height? The tectonic mod [1] creates amazing mountains and accurate layers of bedrock.

Datagenerator··on We are recreating the entire planet in Minecraft
Thank you for the translation. So the maps are also available for the free and Open Source Minetest equivalent which doesn't have height limitations? Great if true!
Datagenerator··on How is bamboo lumber made? (2016)
This was our bummer of this year. We bought eighth small bamboo plants and expected to be busy on containing the natural explosive growth they should show. What happened was the opposite, small and no sign of growth. After some digging this retailer sells genetically modified versions which cannot grow.. Now we are looking for proper natural versions to plant these next year. So if you want to hear and see large patches of bamboo ask the retailer for unmodified plants. Naïve and uninformed I tried to find seeds but bamboo doesn't have them? If someone can share some light on how to how grow them please chime in.
Datagenerator··on Outdated, vulnerable open source components shipped with Windows 10 and 11
It will never be fully open. They got all of the three letter agencies to cooperate with... that's why they want to stay on the CPU as primary OS next to Unix on the secondary processor Intel provides called Active Management Technology (AMT). This hardware and firmware for remote out-of-band management is running the Intel Management Engine, a separate microprocessor not exposed to the user, in order to monitor, maintain, update, upgrade, and repair them using mesh networks.
Datagenerator··on Simple Linux kernel memory corruption bug can lead to complete system compromise
Thank you, security officer on duty goes back to sleep.
