luto

It started with 9€, is 49€ now, and will be 58€ starting 2025.

You can buy for a single month when booking through the right company. "mo.pal" is a good one, for example. However, I agree that it is a bit predatory.

Re:FreeBSD: How Can We Make It More Attractive to New Users? on Saturday October 12, 2024 @08:57AM (#41818724)
For me, integrate an init system that allows for proper dependency management between services. Also, one that keeps track of all processes spawned by a service, allowing me to shut down a service, even if it isn't a well-behaved one with a single daemon process.

That's more or less the only thing stopping me from using FreeBSD (on servers).

In Germany they also go after small fish. The process is highly automated, so there is very little cost to the copyright holder.
It just has a giant database of concepts and their splits built-in. Most of the time it's pretty unnecessary to run an LLM (directly).

Re:Ask HN: Anyone left software to study non-STEM subjects? on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @08:08PM (#39365100)
I did not leave SE (yet), but I'm currently studying sustainability / waste management / etc. It's going great so far, I can recommend going a different or additional route, if you are able to.
National roaming, this is a solved problem and just how it works in some parts of Europe.
Re:Apertus – Open-Source Camera on Sunday November 26, 2023 @10:43AM (#38422419)
Professional cameras often do not have auto focus, compare to some RED camera models. You either prepare your focus points ahead of time or you work in teams, where your camera assistants act as the "auto" focus.

I don't quite understand why blog writers care to include a random AI at the top of their posts. Just give me the content, I don't want to scroll past a random elephant first.
Burning lots of coal does that.
Re:UK retail electricity prices hit -19p/kWh today on Sunday July 02, 2023 @05:19AM (#36559764)
yes, plants that are too expensive or too slow to shut down temporarily (have to) produce for negative prices.
Re:Sennheiser HD 555 to HD 595 Mod on Sunday June 18, 2023 @06:48AM (#36379024)
Unlikely, since the replacement part is the same for both models. From the link:

> Quite a few people speculated in my Original thread that the more expensive HD595 headphones must also be using a more expensive driver. However, Head-fi member MCC posted the smoking gun; a picture of the original Sennheiser replacement driver labelled “HD 555 / HD 595”.

youtube-dl isn't fighting anything here. Their hoster uberspace.de is defendant in this suit for hosting a business card website pointing ytdl-users to github.

haha, funny to use a 3rd-party hoster to provide web space to others! How did you end up using uberspace for this?
Re:Just use Postgres for everything on Saturday December 10, 2022 @12:53PM (#33934810)
It makes the dev setup trivial, since there is no database server around.

Re:Castopod – Open-source podcast hosting platform on Wednesday October 05, 2022 @03:30AM (#33092373)
I'd recommend Podlove instead, which is paid for by the European/German podcasting community instead of an advertising company: https://podlove.org/
Re:The Visual Studio Code Server on Friday July 08, 2022 @07:00AM (#32025500)
they did already: https://github.com/coder/code-server

works great, even on small server machines!

edit: as pointed out by others, this is not actually by MS, but works just fine anyway. TIL!

Re:Brave Browser Hardening on Saturday May 28, 2022 @05:27PM (#31544035)
I think they are referring to cryptocurrency, not cryptography in general.
These days many studies use existing medicines as a placebo as opposed to just nothing in the form of sugar.

redis-server is just a plain executable. Unless you're putting it in a sandbox yourself - for example, using a VM or systemd features - redis has no sandbox. There is nothing to escape from.

The Lua interpreter _within_ redis acts as a sandbox, which got a bit mangled here. Most features are not implemented in Lua, though. So this is only used for things like the EVAL command.

GitHub accepts any sub domain, because that used to be the place for GitHub pages to go, try https://takeda.github.com/ ;)

afaik those are user IDs of Chinese(?) messengers. Devs or others there like to use those as usernames because the are (of course) mostly unique and also enable others to easily contact them.
Re:Fq: Jq for Binary Formats on Thursday December 23, 2021 @03:54AM (#29659987)
apparently they went ahead and implemented a bunch of them in Go: https://github.com/wader/fq/tree/master/format
Re:FreeBSD Jails for Fun and Profit (2020) on Wednesday December 22, 2021 @10:05AM (#29650254)
(FreeBSD) jails are amazing. I just wish there were easier ways to use them more "cattle"-like, so I can augment or replace Docker/Podman. At the moment tooling and many of the real-world setups remind me a lot of "pet" LXC containers or even VMs in the Linux world.

The tooling is slowly moving in a direction I like, though :)

Re:How SQLite Is Tested on Monday December 06, 2021 @12:14PM (#29462507)
It can't. Most of that test code is proprietary to the SQLite team and not available to others.
I am sorry to see that, actually.
