breakingcups··on Nvidia contacted Anna's Archive to access books
It wasn't about permission, it was about high-speed access. They needed Anna's Archive to facilitate that for them, scraping was too slow. It's incredible that they were allowed to continue even after Anna's Archive themselves explicitly pointed out that the material was acquired illegally.
breakingcups··on Code and Let Live
Tailscale definitely had issues for me, unless I used user-mode networking and even then it was iffy. I should add that it also auto-signed me up for a trial of Fly.io itself, which is useless to me now but might've come in handy later.
breakingcups··on The <Geolocation> HTML Element
I'm not familiar with how this process went in this case, the blog post seems to suggest that feedback from other vendors was incorporated. Can you elaborate on the outstanding issues?

What I like about exe.dev is that you only need ssh to access it, is something like that under consideration for Sprites.dev?

Additionally, is Tailscale/Wireguard connectivity something you'd consider?

Those aren't mutually exclusive

Breaking Windows Updates is a bad thing, security-wise.
breakingcups··on Garage – An S3 object store so reliable you can run it outside datacenters
IS there a better solution for self-healing S3 storage that you could recommend? I'm also curious what will make a rook cluster croak after some time and what kind of maintenance is required in your experience.
breakingcups··on People with personality disorders often use language differently
Can't wait for this to be wrapped up in a neat detection algorithm, with about the same efficacy rate as the college plagiarism detectors and the LLM writing detectors.

> Conclusion

> A production-grade WAL isn't just code, it's a contract.

I hate that I'm now suspicious of this formulation.

Is it me, or did it still get at least three placements of components (RAM and PCIe slots, plus it's DisplayPort and not HDMI) in the motherboard image[0] completely wrong? Why would they use that as a promotional image?

breakingcups··on SmartTube Compromised
The official announcement is very sparse on details. If the developer doesn't know how his digital signature (and update infrastructure?) was compromised, how does switching to a new signature help? It could get compromised in the exact same way.

breakingcups··on Microplastics: No longer a "maybe"
Could you explain why?
breakingcups··on Microplastics: No longer a "maybe"
You're absolutely right — the risk of endocrine-disruption is much more dangerous and is being ignored by the majority of the population. What an insightful take!

Would you like me to expand on the reasons endocrine-disruptions are the bigger risk? Or would you like me to explore other ways in which microplastics might be dangerous to your health?

breakingcups··on Microsoft's lack of quality control is out of control
Even worse nowadays on YouTube itself: The auto-translated titles and machine dubbing, for which you can only pick one default language, which all other content will be forcibly translopped into. God forbid I speak more than one language and am comfortable consuming content in its original language.

breakingcups··on Google flags Immich sites as dangerous
There's quite a few comments of people having this happen to them when they self-host Immich, the issue you point out seems minor in comparison.

You'd have to break most of those platforms' TOS to do so.

All of Tor that can be hoovered up seems like a worthwhile investment.
breakingcups··on Ask HN: What are people doing to get off of VMware?
I know they pulled a mini-Broadcom on us and sharply raised all our prices after our first two years of having our OpenShift clusters.
breakingcups··on K8s with 1M nodes
It's a shame the author led with something that carries about the same authority as a horoscope, since the rest of the article is actually quite interesting.
