That and make wages catch up with inflation. Deflation causes all sorts of problems but driving wages up just makes people wealthier.

We'll just have to get used to bigger numbers.

LDAC works just fine on Linux, but may be a different package or repo since it's somewhat proprietary. Just worked out of the box for me on Arch.

Seems to work fine for me, although I don't use the image proxy on my instance so that could have something to do with it.

2010-2015 je dirais, ça fait quand-même longtemps. Faut dire aussi, la plupart de mes contacts était via le pont XMPP de Google Talk et Facebook Messenger, mais j'avais mon proper serveur Jabber.

En 2015 j'étais pas mal actif sur IRC et avait un bouncer sur un VPS, et XMPP est passé à l'oubli. Ironiquement plus limité, mais aumoins y'avait plus de 3 personnes avec qui parler.

Mon expérience XMPP n'a jamais vraiment été bonne. En pratique l'interopérabilité entre clients et même entre serveurs, c'était pas top.

Le replacement plus moderne est Matrix, qui offre les fichiers multimédia et les appels audio/video, le chiffrement et généralement des fonctionnalités plus modernes et adaptées à l'utilisation sur un smartphone.

Faut se dire, XMPP a été crée à une époque où les clients mobiles étaient très rares (et très dispendieux). C'était un bon replacement pour MSN Messenger quand t'étais sur le PC et activement connecté au serveur XMPP. De mémoire le serveur ne supportait même pas le stockage de messages sur le serveur du moins sans extension, il fallait que les deux clients soient connecté en même temps. Sur un smartphone qui change souvent de réseau ou passe hors ligne, c'est problématique.

I think P2P has stood the test of time. Torrents scale extremely well, any large scale video would have so many peers the server wouldn't have to participate at all. These days most torrents easily saturate my gigabit connection no problem with just a handful of peers. Torrents tends to spread like wildfire.

The main issue would be storage space, but I think a lot of YouTubers would be perfectly okay with spending $5-10 a month to pay for the storage costs with all the benefits you get from not being tied to YouTube's ToS and policies. It's a drop in the bucket compared to the earnings from sponsor spots.

You can return multiple A/AAAA records for the root, the TLD delegates the whole thing to your nameservers and it's free to return whatever you want. Registrars actually do let you set records on the TLD's zone, it's called glue records and they're typically used to solve the nameserver chicken and egg problem where you might want to be your own nameservers. Mine's set that way:

~ $ drill NS max-p.me
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, rcode: NOERROR, id: 32318
;; flags: qr rd ra ; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;; max-p.me.    IN      NS

;; ANSWER SECTION:
max-p.me.       3600    IN      NS      ns2.max-p.me.
max-p.me.       3600    IN      NS      ns1.max-p.me.

The me registrar will give you the IP for those two so you can then ask my server for where max-p.me really is.

The bigger issue is usually there's a bunch of stuff under your root domain like MX records, TXT records, potentially subdomains. That's a huge problem if you need to CNAME the root to a hosting provider, as the CNAME will forward the entire domain including MX and TXT records. Cloudflare sort of works around that with server side flattening of CNAMEs, but that's not standard. But if you have a www subdomain, then it's a complete non-issue. And really, do you want to delegate your MX records to WP Engine?

The main reason people went without the www is the good old "it looks cooler and shorter" while ignoring all the technical challenges its brings, and that's probably why browsers now hide the www so that website designers don't have to do this atrocity.

want someone to prove his LLM can be as insightful and accurate as paid one.

The full DeepSeek model is available for download, and should generate about the same quality answers as the official one, with the bonus of less censorship. I pretty trivially got it to talk about the Tiananmen Square, and they can't even ban me for it.

That said, that's rarely the point. It's usually because you can, a cost saving measure, sometimes you plainly just don't need a good model, sometimes you want privacy, sometimes you need privacy at the cost of quality.

If your business is shoving customer reviews into a model, you really don't need the best model for it to tell you how angry the customer is.

Personally I just do it for fun and because I can. Sometimes you just do things for no other reason than because you can.

They'll stick to Valkey for the license alone. The AGPL is a good license, but the 3 clause BSD license is even more permissive which companies leeching off open-source like a lot more than the GPL licenses.

I feel about the same. I don't particularly care about it, but it's nice to know how many I helped. It was intentionally removed, I believe so it doesn't incentivise karma farms. If karma exists it will be used and there will be reasons to farm it.

Nothing a quick Postgres query can't fix though :p

Another reason to use ~/.local is you can do things like

./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local
make -j$(ncpu)
make install

And then you get your .local/bin, .local/share, .local/include, .local/lib and such, just like /usr but scoped to your user.

and it should mostly just work as well.

Yes but OP took the string representation of the IPv4 and base64'd it, I was addressing that part specifically.
