luto··on Ask HN: Who is looking for a co-founder? (July 2021)
so, "think framasoft.org, but more commercial" (w/o implying that that's a bad thing)?

> One of the commonly noted aspects of the GDPR is that it attempts to exert extraterritorial jurisdiction on any entity processing the data of an EEA resident, even if the entity itself has no assets in the EEA or other relation to it.

First paragraph.. already plain wrong. The GDPR only applies, if the site is offering goods or services to relevant citizens. That's quite a fuzzy criterion, though. To remedy the fuzziness, support documents list various criteria like: offering payment in Euros, having representation within the EU, using an EU ccTLD, and so on.

luto··on Ask HN: Mobile phone addiction help?
I managed to get rid of multiple unhealthy online habits like excessive reddit browsing using very simple network blocks. They help a lot even though I am able to trivially circumvent them.
luto··on RotaJakiro: A long live secret backdoor with 0 VT detection
VT = virustotal.com, a popular site to check unknown binaries.

C2 = command & control, a server which tells the malware what to do.

luto··on GitHub reinstated youtube-dl but restoring forks is apparently a problem
Gitlab is just another US company equally affected by DMCA and other US copyright laws/processes.
luto··on Temporal Tables PostgreSQL Extension
It says right there in the readme: performance.

> This version is 2x faster than the normal one, but more dangerous and prone to errors.

luto··on TLS Mastery
Which TLS feature are you referring to?
luto··on Evaluating Modest SaaS Business Ideas
Does discord punish servers, which share pirated content?
luto··on A Ceph war story
can confirm this on two 24 node / 100TB / 132 OSD clusters and ~2 years.
luto··on GitHub investigating crypto-mining campaign abusing its server infrastructure
We're aiming to make our service accessible to everyone, which involves customers choosing their own price. So there isn't a fixed price we could raise. Additionally, there is a free trial month, which adversaries typically make use of, instead of paying for the service. Hiking he price without deep additional changes is not in our interest and wouldn't change anything in our case.

We're offering shared hosting for web apps and other hacker/toy projects. Intense compute workloads are just not what our product is built for, so we let other providers handle that part of the market.

Good luck finding that post and linking it to the provider. That set aside, except for DDoS defense, we've run into no problems at all when talking very openly about how we operate. Seems naive at first glance, but we've had a good 10+ year run (so far!). Works for us, might not for others.
luto··on GitHub investigating crypto-mining campaign abusing its server infrastructure
We, a medium-sized hosting provider, just do it using the process name. Works much better than you'd expect, since most miners are using very similar software. No interesting engineering challenge here, sadly.
luto··on Godot has been renamed to Godette Engine
The new logo & mascot is refreshing. I am sure many pople would find joy in that change.
luto··on Signal Desktop is corrupting its database
Signal's inability to sync its history to somewhere else (e.g. their server, encrypted) and its rather inaccessible backup processes[1] are a pain. It makes me use something else for anything serious sometimes.

luto··on JaaS: The team that builds Jitsi can now also run it for you

It is for people just starting out.
luto··on The Fediverse is better than regular social media
there is! see my sibling post to yours.
luto··on The Fediverse is better than regular social media
> I think it's far more likely that any of the publicly available Mastodon instances goes boom long before Twitter does

as long as the admins give a heads-up, you can still move to another instance using the provided feature. If the instance spontaneously combusts, you're a bit out of luck, yes :(

luto··on Sci-Hub Founder Criticizes Sudden Twitter Ban over “Counterfeit” Content
twitter: https://joinmastodon.org/

youtube: https://joinpeertube.org/

The fediverse checks many of the boxes you mentioned. While I personally enjoy using it, it still lacks usability for many people, I think.

luto··on WhatsApp whitepaper removed sentence about never having access to private keys
Instead, they added the following on page 13:

luto··on Moderna raises 2021 vaccine output forecast to at least 600M doses
last time I checked, the answer was "we don't know". There seems to be a >=8 months figure floating around now, though.

heh, yeah! for comparison: the English Wikipedia is around 40 GB of text.

luto··on The Pile: An 800GB Dataset of Diverse Text for Language Modeling
they'll probably run it on scientific clusters of various universities, or on collections of idle lab desktop machines. Both of these tend to sit idle a lot of the time, based on my experience at uni in Europe.
luto··on Raspberry Pi Server Mark III
keep in mind that PoE requires an additional PoE hat. That adds another 20$ to the bill for each Pi.

luto··on Estimated 1.56B face masks will have entered oceans in 2020
"Recommended Application" for one of these masks:

> Assembly and Mechanical, Chemical Clean-up, Chemical Handling, Chipping, Chiseling, Cleaning, Furnace Operations, Grinding, Laboratories, Machining, Masonary, Painting, Pouring/Casting, Sanding, Sawing, Welding

They are intended to protect yourself from the environment, not the other way around. So they come with incoming filters only. To change that, a retrofit filter is needed.

Which of the other data viz tools do you like more?
luto··on 2020 Mac Mini – Putting Apple Silicon M1 To The Test
I can't find that quote or even the words "undisputedly" or "Zen3" in the article. Was it changed or, if it wasn't, can you give me a pointer, please?
