New comment by suslik in "US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire"

Getting downvoted by all the emotional people here is not worth it; this thread does not welcome a polite discussion especially from the pro-Israel side. Like in any social media with a voting system (terrible idea, I might add), the vocal and active majority wants to disentivise the disagreement.

In Belgium you get 500/100 for 65 euro, which is even worse.

Gitea also, I think.

For some of us, there’s no uncertainty about other’s judgement - it’s just the op experience all the way down.

The link is: the first part was 'then', the second is 'now'.

Indeed - sloppy reading on my part.

Might be you're logged in? I often hit a block when using (proton) vpn if I'm logged out but not otherwise.

A couple of years ago, one rainy Saturday morning, I woke up with a devastating hangover and nothing else to do - so I decided to build myself a PC, like in good old days. Turned out it wasn't at all difficult to find a local store; only two-three hours later I was already driving home with all these sexy looking boxes filled with hardware. That was in Sweden.

This comment has been marked as subversive; your social consensus alignment score has been corrected. Thank you!

Using this tech, all the CP traffic would detectably flow towards my ip, right? I’m sure I’m not the only one who would find this worrisome.

New comment by suslik in "Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade"

suslik — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 06:17:41 +0000

The main difference between mise and pixi is an ability to subscribe to conda channels and build (in an extremely fast way) conda environments, bypassing or eliminating most of the conda frustration (regular conda users know what I mean). mise allows to install asdf tools primarily (last I checked).

On the python front, however, I am somehow still an old faithful - poetry works just fine as far as I was every concerned. I do trust the collective wisdom that uv is great, but I just never found a good reason to try it.

Not to mention how much they did for Linux gaming.

> building digital fiefdoms with users as the serfs

I wouldn't call you names, but this does sound rather extreme. It also sounds rather imprecise. Is this a metaphor, or a hyperbole, or do you actually mean this literally? If so, in what way I, an iOS user, going to be an Apple serf?

That you should join the war, kill some people, and potentially die yourself. A better question is why is that funny.

New comment by suslik in "Delete FROM users WHERE location = 'Iran';"

suslik — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 12:36:59 +0000

I don't think you can guarantee that. Yes, you might have a strong prior in favour of that - most people don't have a propensity to prefer logical and systematic reasoning over strong emotions such as anger or hate - but it's still rather unfair to a person you're talking to to assume that must be the case.

> The best way to teach history would be to make politicians dig slit trenches and then shell them for a few days

I don't see why you think that. That didn't work for Hitler, Göring, and the countless numbers of WW1 veterans in the SA and SS hungry for another try.

It absolutely does have merit when the point is to highlight hypocrisy and bias.

New comment by suslik in "RSS is awesome"

suslik — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 06:46:50 +0000

Yeah, perhaps I did not explain myself correctly (or, to be precise, explained myself incorrectly - I should not comment right after waking up). I want a tool that would take as input one or more RSS feeds and emits an aggregated RSS which I can then open in an RSS reader. I would then do certain things with the RSS entries (for instance, for some academic journals only the header of the article is emitted, so I can attach the full text or even an AI summary to it).

suslik — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 06:09:37 +0000

Does anyone know if there is a self-hosted rss tool which exposes the data over API? I am interested in processing feeds programmatically but ideally would prefer not to bother with writing the update / subscription / parsing logic myself.

The UK might not have the power to force extradition (neither does US, in fact), but to make life very inconvenient for someone - for sure.
