I spun a c3.large for the cause and email the person.

any gotchas I should worry about? (the aws calculator gives me 76.65$ USD / month)

I want to help but I am by no mean rich... don't want a crazy AWS bill...


I’m by no means an expert, but one thing I would keep an eye on is the egress data metric, because Amazon charges for that. If there’s a lot of traffic you might be billed more.


thanks... I revised the simulator, and indeed, I could have racked a serious bill 1-4k


Wouldn't something like DigitalOcean or Linode help? They are far more cheaper and you don't get weird random invoices from them.


just spun 2 cx21 servers with hetzner (20TB bandwidth + 1€ per extra TB)

thanks!


yes, I will change provider... paying for egress data on something that is meant for outbound connections is a bad idea...


just installed it in lxc without docker... works like a charm.


sorry to hear that. do you think ageism have something to do with it or no? (generalist in my early 40's here similar skillset sprinkled with cloud stuff)


Seconded. People go to the TOS, arguing about what constitute hosting etc.

I don't believe in cloudflare principles either. Seems like they only grew "responsible" when it attracted negative public attention in the last days/weeks.

this looks like PR, damage/image control to me.

we do not have a good solution for partial censorship on the internet right now (always the same issues, who can decide to take out a website who implement it, due process, vpn moderation etc)

for me, having principles regarding content removal at this point is pretty much black and white, either you are totally against censorship (without due process), or you are ok with it.

Cloudflare actions denote they don't hold any of the principles above even if they know all about the selective content removal complexities.

P.S: Interrestingly, the Department of Homeland Security seems to be able to seize various domains quite easily.


wow, so many comments that leads nowhere (law/technical/etc)... what about a counterprotest? Like bigots voicing their opinions on a street corner would attract.

I assume everyone here have a VPN...

would be fun to post some trans positive messages on their rotten kiwi farm.

Do not suggest or hint at this kind of brigading behavior on HN.


Well the actual reason is of course that the people involved with this movement do not want their threads read. It shines a light on everything shady, dishonest and bad they have done, social media influencers want to appear holy as a saint in front of their audience as it increases their influence, so telling your entire audience to engage with a thread that makes you look like a horrible person is a bad move.


what I was saying is, let's hop on a vpn and put a bit of humanity in their venom


I know every comments on HN should bring something to the discussion, but there is nothing to add here. 100% agree, US should have been sanctioned for the invasion of Iraq (and much more).


grade on explaning the code and not the code itself?

Someone who can explain some code understood it (or memorized the explanations)

from an academic point of view, it is not that bad. even for the people in the "memorized" category, they memorized the explanation... brings them quite close to understanding IMO


this topic came up a few times on hacker news

I will add this link here

If I read this right :

step 1 : create an actor ; let's say ACTOR1

step 2 : create multiple actors (bots etc) let's say ACTOR[A-Z] to raise the reputation of ACTOR1

step 3 : use all the Rating Token Balance (R) of ACTOR[A-Z] to give reputation (S) to ACTOR1

step4 : ACTOR1 now have a good reputation on the blockchain

step5 : ???

step6 : back to nickserv on irc with known nicknames to find someone with good reputation

EDIT : I missed the "Note they can only acquire reputation by being good Actors in the eyes of already-good Actors" but I am curious to see how this could not be rigged by a algorithm


You didn't miss it, you're right. Actors get "S" reputation they can award others periodically.

The max amount they can accumulate/award is based on their own reputation.

Makes no difference. 1 bot awarding 50 points or 50 bots awarding 1 point each..


shameless plug, I made an ipcalc6 in rust that does it (with colors)
