  • Meta will move React to Linux Foundation to address vendor dominance fears

    Jump

  • One always has to worry. Also there's lots of surrounding crap like react native. I wonder if that's included.

    Is react still important anyway? I figured something else would be the current hotness by now.

  • We already have a premium like that here in CA, plus ridiculously high base rates.

  • Thanks, that sounds mostly like container features. Maybe that helps.

  • Patent troll = someone pops up claiming av1 or av2 infringes on some obscure patent that they control. That happens all the time. There's no way to guarantee that it won't happen with any codec or really with anything. It is very expensive to defend against even when the claim is bogus.

  • I don't know, but if it is, why take chances with yet another codec? The hazard is less about the developers asserting patents than trolls coming out of the woodwork after the codec is deployed.

  • Why do we need more codecs? Technical progress is nice but unless the new thing is literally 5x better than the old thing, media codecs are for practical purposes a solved problem by now. Slight improvements aren't worth the churn and patent hazards.

  • As a troglodyte Debian user, this was interesting. Is Guix also viable these days?

  • Quality online computer course for beginner to intermediate?

  • In-person one to one instruction if possible. Work on those particular tasks and also how to use search engines to get unstuck. Once you reach a basic level you can use online resources to get through things, but maybe she isn't there yet

  • Cloudflare Tunnel?

    Jump

  • I just found out about cloudflared, it looks straightforward but you need a cloudflare account to use it. IDK what (if anything) they charge for it.

    I have generally just used a VPS for this. I've done it through an ssh reverse proxy which is pretty crappy, but a more serious approach would use iptables forwarding or wireguard or whatever the current hotness is.

  • This is another implementation of what's possible inside of termux for all you self hosters.

    Jump

  • I'm confused, you implemented the graphical chess game in the terminal? Or you implemented a web server and pointed a non-termux browser at it?

    I didn't know about cloudflared, pretty cool. I just use a VPS and (if applicable) an ssh reverse proxy for that.

  • Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one)

    Jump

  • Yeah for 80TB you'd want either a server or a NAS and at that point I'd have to weigh the cost against a rental. Still though, how will you back it up? What's going to be on it anyway, e.g. video editing? You're more in professional workstation territory than home server. If it's datahoarder type stuff (archived sitcoms or whatever) then yeah ok I guess. Certainly a DIY box with a say 6x 24TB desktop HDD's will cost less than a few years of renting Hetzner boxes with that much drive space. Those drives are very cheap now, $300 each on newegg. But still, this is very much a niche use, nowhere near "everyone should have" territory. Unfortunately it's still not enough data to think seriously about a tape drive.

    Hmm it looks like a 160TB Hetzner server (10x 16TB drives, Intel W-2245 CPU with 128GB ram and also 2x 960GB SSD) is $150/month in the Hetzner auction. Could you build and run a comparable home server for less, say spreading the cost over 3 years? Probably yes but it would take some effort. And how much do you pay monthly for that two-way 1gbit internet pipe? Can you really open public ports on it and serve files in much volume at that speed?
