<p>I just gave Zulip a try with a team of 3. I loved the UI because I spent years in pain finding things in big Slack and Mattermost installations (big = 30 users, nowhere near enterprise-level). For my two junior colleagues, instead, Zulip was too complicated. We evventually switched over to Discord.<p>I highly recommend Zulip to anybody who faces the problem that the concept of threads and channels is not a good fit to their mental model of tasks and groups in teams.</p>

<p>I wonder why they quit their strategy of (practically) "infinite email storage". Compared to other data sources, after identifying hand-written E-Mails and attachment this would give them superior access to high quality LLM training material. I assume Mail content and GDrive file content still superior to what you find in the general "open" web.<p>Maybe they don't want to be evil anymore? ;-)</p>

<p>Severe, but you also need to use quite specific configuration to be vulnerable. I can imagine this pattern to be widespread in some classical PHP applications deployed via nginx.</p>

<p>Beautiful and informative website from the old age: Tables, tiling background pictures, no fancy fonts or colors, even the formulas (equations) are typesetted as low-res bitmaps instead of contemporary MathML/JS/etc. For me, it feels like leafing throught an old vintage book (I have plenty of old math books left from my studies).<p>I find it quite funny that clicking "the author" brings us to Linkedin, feels like going back to reality.</p>

<p>That sounds awesome. A bit like plan9 philosophy "everything is a file". I wonder whether one could implement something like this with fuse+git (gitfs doesnt allow this, cf <a href="https://gitfs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/mount_options/" rel="nofollow">https://gitfs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/mount_options/</a>)</p>

<p>I loved the simple increasing numbers of Subversion. This was better then CVS "ad-hoc" versioning and also far better then git's hashes. Single numbers are easy for humans. I would love git would make it possible to work that way (there is one way: `git describe` can show something like "v1.0.4-14-g2414721" which means "14 commits ahead of tag v1.0.4".)</p>

<p>Title is misleading. The vessel has "autonomous navigation", I guess this is some autopilot function which is probably widespread these days.<p>I thought of "autonomous" as in "no crew onboard". That would be good for piracy (there is nobody to kidnap and no hostage which could die). For everything else I think the few humans and their facilities onboard don't make a big difference in payload or so. Having a human onboard is still an asset in many situations.</p>

<p>To be honest, three nested RDPs sound like a terrible hack. In an ideal world, this would be two port forwardings and one RDP (thinking about ssh, which is still underrepresented in windows world). In an even more ideal world, this would be an IPv6 direct access ;-)</p>

<p>Zotero is my primary reference keeping system. As a research group/company we switched from bibtex to zotero because it allows to put the PDFs also into the collection and has web based browsing included without custom software.<p>However, the interop with bibtex could be much more seamless. The zotero db feels a bit like a silo, which is sad. Thankfully it is open source so somebody (including me) could improve this in the future.</p>

<p>If you run the ancient software on modern Windows, you might consider windows sudo, which is a thing nowadays.<p>I wonder whether you cannot use Windows user permission ACLs. They are pretty fine grained. Might be hard to find the right set of permissions, but for me this sounds the more relevant place compared to PAM.<p>If this is also some ancient Windows version, such as w2k, I would isolate the overall machine and stick with admin permissions.</p>

<p>To clarify, a good title would be "Loading Doom entirely from DNS records"<p>Neither one plays Doom over DNS nor is the first paragraph in the README correct, because DNS is only abused for storage, not for computing/processing/executing instructions:<p>> At some point, a reasonable person asked "DNS resolves names to IP addresses, what else can it do?" The answer, apparently, is run DOOM.</p>

<p>Same here. What I hate most is the fact how tooling decides what should be hidden files and what not. Hiding important configuration files (also done by some SSGs) is a bad habit which makes it hard to explore a new project. At least such files should be refered to in some README.</p>

<p>Traffic for the static payload is super cheap. And the insane amount of requests is handled easily by modern event-based architectures. The operation costs are most likely only a tiny amount of the overall economics of the tracker's buisness model. The generated tracking data is certainly worth an order of magnitude more then it takes to generate it.</p>

<p>The tragedy of the commons affects not only grey-haired astronomers but everybody who wants to learn about nature. Light pollution is already so real that I assume the majority of people in "industrialized states" haven't seen milky way with naked eyes if they cannot afford traveling to very remote areas (me included, despite I have a PhD in astrophysics, which makes me technically a grey-haired astronomer).<p>Of course technology will eventually solve the problem and space-based observatories are superior, despite more expensive and thus makes it more difficult to make science inclusive.<p>The big question is: Will the shift to orbit exclude a big part of mankind from participating? Capitalism most likely days "yes" and this is, in fact, a tragedy.</p>
