You forgot the "and off by one errors"

Seems to be recovering now

Yeah, all green again.

Btw, this was my first experience with a service having an issue, going to the relevant status page and seeing it indeed confirm that there is an issue. Nice.

Bridge doesn't seem to be working either, webapp will not load

I'm not sure if this takes into account para-virtualized networks on VMs, ie. VMware vm's with "virtual" hardware access

It's been a few years for me tho, so perhaps it's covered with the VM section.

Lovely diagram, thanks for sharing it!

These usually attach in the bridge or NAT flow.

You can also buy a cheap cd player and some CDs from a second hand store

Fall, or Dodge in hell, by Neil Stephenson has a take on this.

The internet is flooded with slop and rage-bait on purpose. So filled as to be unusable, like a firehose of shit. So in there comes a role if "editor" whose job it is (you pay them) to only give you, well not even what's "true", rather what reflects your world view. So which editor you have becomes a factor in how you live, where your educated, your status.

It will be interesting to see if something as explicit as editors arise.

I will say this, if you stay off Facebook and some of the other big social sites for a while, it is like a madhouse when you glance back

Doesn’t this just reinforce your echo chamber? Your “editor” only gives you stuff you want to see not the stuff you need or should see.

And once you empower someone to gate or filter your access to information, what’s stopping them from treating you like the product for a better paying customer, like today?

You have hit the nail on the head there! The point in the book was that depending on your editor, you were essentially living in different realities.

There was the east and west coasts, and then there was Ameristan (or something I can't remember exactly) in between, which was fundamentalist

Algorithmic feeds, search result pages, and LLM responses with web citations are all different editors. It's just a computer doing the editing.

People were pirating before napster, but napster made it easy, accessable, and let people do it with little to no barrier.

It's the same with this.. yes photo editing could always be done, but it's far easier now to get better results. It's accessibility changes the game

I'm specifically responding to their point about how "these days" people want different things and I'm saying that they always wanted those things, nothing new about it.

I disagree. My parents generation took photos on point and shoot cameras. They waited a week or longer to get them developed, never really knowing what they took.

These photos ended up stuck to pages in an album to be brought out occasionally, or they were really good, in a frame placed on display. They have pictures from the 80s still out on their mantle.

Maybe once a decade they would go to a studio like at Sears and get a pro to get the whole family together. These would be edited, but also very rare.

Even the thought that they would be taking pictures for anyone else to ever see would rarely cross their minds, let alone the need to make major edits. Regular people simply didn’t have this vanity or need for approval when taking pics like the smartphone era

My parents' generation also took photos but if something was off, they'd ask our photographer relative to edit them. This was over 20 years ago. At least some part of the population did know what photo editing was and did it, either themselves or with the help of someone else.

On the contrary, there is plenty new about it. People’s perception of how much you can change influences how much they ask. Seeing new possibilities gives you new ideas.

Zim wiki is brilliant. I've been using it for years. It's very extendable

> Zim handles several types of markup, like headings, bullet lists and of course bold, italic and highlighted.

OK, I think this may be a bit less powerful than Notion and Obsidian.

A good bit less powerful yes. But the simplicity is a huge strength when it comes to long term tech. I started using it in 2012 I believe.

The most important thing in any note taking app is to use it consistently and use it for years. And bring it with you as you change jobs.

Sometimes simple things that work in plain text files that can be exported and imported easily is what you need for long term note taking.

I suspect the future looks more like Kill Decision by Daniel Suarez.

Swarm robots engaged in destruction as opposed to construction. Destruction is a lot easier.

Snow Crash leaned on this mythos a lot. Great read by the way
