This is the first I've actually heard of the name change... I used to use Varnish quite a bit, and had a decent grasp of VCL, for Drupal deployments. But I think Varnish 6 or 7 was when I started dropping off managing the caching layer as almost every project chose to offload caching to Cloudflare.

I mean I can just replace Dropbox with a shell script.

That's funny because you could! Dropbox started a shell script :)

Funny though I would assume HN people would respect how hard real-time stuff and 'hardened' stuff is.


I think GP is referencing this somewhat [in]famous post/comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863#9224

HN audience has shifted, there is less technically minded people and more hustlers and farmers from other social media waste spaces. But alas.

"No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame."

No, wait, that was that other site.


Worth noting: the source of this claim is anonymous, and so far the framing of the statement feels a little more radical than maybe what was said in the meeting.

Other news publications are trying to get the full story: https://x.com/jdflynn/status/2042076430406672829?s=46&t=u6IW...

I wouldn't put anything past the current admin, but I don't know what the US could stand to gain from directly antagonizing the Vatican.


I don't think the current admin knows what the US stands to gain from antagonizing the EU, China, Canada, Mexico, Japan, catholics, atheists, muslims, etc etc etc the list goes on - either.

Just adding this from a more trustworthy news source: https://www.pillarcatholic.com/p/nuncios-pentagon-meeting-wa...

While it sounds like the discussion was "tense" according to Vatican officials, it was blatantly mischaracterized in TFA, and nobody on either side recalls the Avignon papacy being mentioned or referred to.


And there are enough parallels to Linux's stack, I'm thinking about looking through the Linux on Wii project more and comparing how it handles fb issues in comparison. I loved reading this whole post, crazy how many OSes have now been run on the humble Wii!

The raw files have a ton more dynamic range, however. You could pull out a lot more detail in shadows.

GitHub stars weren't a thing when Markdown was roughly codified. Was GitHub even around then?

Git wasn't even around.

In the article and my pi-isp project, I use MacProxy Classic to strip heavy stuff from web pages through a local proxy service running on the Pi. This helps a lot, but if a page has 20 MB of resources, it can only do so much (without completely disabling JS and images).

There were proxies in the old day that would recompress images and do other things, but if the 20 MB is compressed javascript, there's not much you can do but hope it caches well.

They have a Z9 on board for radiation testing, but the D5 is the primary body for imaging on this mission IIRC

The D5 has been used on the ISS since 2017, including EVAs:

The ISS now (also?) has Z9s. So they're both generally known-quantities.


Yeah other folks gave better insight while I was writing my comment, oops...

Timeouts are killer too... many modern apps assume slow or no response for more than 10 or 20 seconds is "Internet is down" and will stop trying.

It's brutal, even with modern Internet, when people develop apps with the assumption of the Internet connection always having decent latency and bandwidth.


A few, until their current stocks run out. Orange Pi already increased prices (their boards are similar price or more expensive than equivalent Pi's now), and Radxa seems to just stop selling certain models (at least in NA) once they run out of stock.

Arduino has one of the cheapest 4GB boards now, but I wonder if it's just because they made a ton and the demand for their strange board has been low?
