I legit wish I had known about you a few years ago when writing my thesis. It was about community run broadband internet. I was trying to identify repeatable models for communities who wanted to run their own ISPs to use. This would have been so helpful!

Side note, truly inspirational an something I would love to do in my little village in Ohio.


I was wondering if you wouldn't mind talking more about your thesis? I am interested in rural internet as well for Native American reservations and both opie's and your comments are inspiring and something I definitely want to read.


Here are some benchmarks from a few months back. Seems promising. https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-arc-b580-gpu-compute

Whoops - included the wrong link! https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-arc-b580-graphics-linu...


Thanks for sharing this. Reading his story is kind of insane honestly. He created the CC licenses which I did not know. What an icon, truly.


On that note, Lawrence Lessigs talks on copyright from that period are worth a watch https://youtu.be/9xbRE_H5hoU


Reading this article makes me think that I just throw weird compared to the pros. But who cares! I'm having fun.


If you’re not getting paid to do it then that’s all that matters.


The greatest life lesson I learned from disc golf is that the winner is the person that has the most fun.


Do you add milk or sugar to your tea? Or both? Or neither?!

What's your favorite biscuit. Asking as a yank who likes tea and biscuits.


If you want an excellent book and many many ways the Irish love their tea read Stumpet City[1].

Both milk and sugar are to taste, and if someone offers you tea they'll ask how you like your tea.

There's no right or wrong answer here


When I drink black tea it's with milk, using freshly boiled water (allow bubbling to stop) in a preheated cup. Milk gets added after steeping so as not to scald. For the love of all that's holy, don't microwave the water. Use a kettle or a pot.

Green and most herbal tea gets neither milk nor sugar, but sometimes honey. Add a little cold water to the herbs first, so you don't extract bitter compounds: using near 100C water is why so many people think they dislike green and herbal tea. (Ginger, hemp, chamomile and hibiscus are the main exceptions to this rule - they need boiling water for the floral flavours.)

I love coffee, but I have enough herbal tea to open an apothecary. Just be careful that you're not getting teabags with plastic in them! Pukka are consistently great, as are Suki.

Favourite fancy biscuits are from the Island Bakery [0] in Scotland. Their Lemon Melts and their Chocolate Gingers are just about perfect. I know you can find their shortbread in the US, but not sure about other varieties. The biscuits come in a little cardboard boat and it's adorable.

Former MSP I worked at is also looking to migrate customers off to something like Hyper-V or Nutanix. I told my old boss to hire a bunch of Linux gurus and go through the Proxmox partnership program and get certified. As much as people knock it for their support not really being ready for enterprise. I do think that proxmox is well suited to gain some of the market share.

I've been using it in my lab for the past few years without any major issues. Running an HA 3-node cluster. Only issue I ran into was when I kept getting kernel panic from an driver issues in my RAID card. But that really only affected me during reboots. Pinning to and older kernel worked. Oh and it was also because my RAID card is like 10 years old.

So HN - if you are moving off VmWare, what are you using?


It can in advanced caseas - from my personal experience: My gran had it for as long as I could remember. As she got older and her condition worsened she would have difficulty swallowing just about anything and we had to add thickening agents (even to her water) so she could.

This also might have been a side affect of her medication but I don't recall it happening earlier on the same meds.

Take this for what it's worth. Happy to be wrong, I know someone on HN will tell me lol


Checks out for my old man, but then again his disease's progression has been so wildly aggressive - at 64 his stage of the disease is more akin to what I'd always imagined for an 84-year-old - I suspect it's not even PD


I have it in my 30s due to LPR :/. Its my life's mission atm to resolve my LPR.


IIRC EBPF is an enhanced version of the Berkeley Packet filter. In this scenario I believe it is being used for sandboxing a low level process to allow for TLS "decryption" on network connections related to Docker.


I actually live in a home right on the old canal as it went through in southern Ohio. You can still see some of the old canal walls. Every time I see it, I get so bummed out the US bailed on canals as transport. You can check it out here!

The Miami-Erie canal is a different canal that runs north-south through western Ohio, that was build much later than the Erie Canal that runs east-west through New York state.

That said I grew up in west central Ohio and have been fascinated with canals ever since I learned about it as a small boy. Lately I've been trying to match up historical surveys with modern day maps to show folks where the canal used to run.


Trains rendered them largely obsolete.

There were other canals tried in New York to variable (generally lesser) success, for example the Chenango Canal from Binghamton to Utica. Most eventually closed due to competition from railroads.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_canals_in_New_York


The St Lawrence Seaway also took traffic away from the Erie. With modern ships, it is easier to send big ships the longer way. Barges are still useful for local traffic but the Erie was no longer the shortcut to Great Lakes. Railroads have advantage that can go more places.


> The St Lawrence Seaway also took traffic away from the Erie.

It also took traffic from the rail lines between Northern New York and points south, many of which are now disused. It also impacted rail in Canada, for instance the spur to the port of Brockville Ontario which serviced rail ferries to Morristown NY.

> With modern ships, it is easier to send big ships the longer way.

Interestingly, the Seaway was designed for the modern ships of the 1960s. The locks can't handle the new breed of giant container ships above the port of Montreal. Nowadays, the only ship traffic on the Seaway consists of "lakers" and bulk carriers. Small container ships disappeared long ago:

The early years of container shipping saw the operation of ships of under 1,000 TEU. Continued growth of international container-based trade resulted in the development of progressively larger ships, which eventually reached the maximum allowable vessel dimensions of the original Panama Canal, the early Panamax ships. Container shipping occurred along the St. Lawrence Seaway during the era of small container ships. However, these services eventually faltered, for multiple reasons.

A mention of the Welland Canal, in Ontario, that provided a route around Niagara Falls.

And at a quick glance it looks like it is mostly related to website information, not PHI or PII.


> is mostly related to website information, not PHI or PII

If you are looking for an oncologist or abortions or whatever else, that's PHI. We know well that the industry has profiles on Americans and probably can identify you.


Exactly! If hospital systems are selling this, who is buying it? Health insurance companies. Then they can judge if they should still cover you or raise your rates.


Yes, and many other organizations also want this information. Your detailed profile is valuable, and my impression is that health info is particularly valuable.


Note that website information can still be PHI.

> if an individual were looking at a hospital’s webpage listing its oncology services to seek a second opinion on treatment options for their brain tumor, the collection and transmission of the individual’s IP address, geographic location, or other identifying information showing their visit to that webpage is a disclosure of PHI to the extent that the information is both identifiable and related to the individual’s health or future health care

So either I'm closer to paranoid delusional or you're closer to being naive if you don't think that the people receiving this information cannot infer this data from your browsing session.
