I use Inoreader, the closest I could find to Google Reader, it has all I would need for an RSS reader and way more, I don't know how good their apps are because the web version is just great in desktop and mobile browsers.

Pippy has stage level approvals. As far as I know,after playing with GHA a lot, the only approval is for the entire PR.

They have been firing rockets for decades. They killed 28 people over 20 years with 20k+ rockets[1]. Israel killed 17 000 people in two months.

While rockets are the main weapon (they also like to do stabbings) used in the palestinian-israeli conflict over the last years, the main reason of israeli palestinian hate is their past love of exploding inside busses and restaurants during the first[1] and second intifada[2]

honestly since the iron dome we are kind of "fine" with the occasional rocket (on a personal but also to some extent on a political level)

Depending on use case.

If you have traffic which isn't consistent 24/7 then AWS Spot instances with Gravitron CPUs will be cheaper than on-premise.

Because you have the ability to in real-time scale your infrastructure up/down.

Thristle · 2 years ago
Its 2 seperate issues:

fluctuation in traffic is handled by auto scaling

Saving money on stateless (or short start times) services is done with spots

The numbers from the health ministry are historically accurate, and even often cited by the US State Department in the past[1].

Or, if you trust Israel's numbers, they are pretty open that they dropped, for example, 6000 bombs on Gaza in a single week. Very conservatively, a typical JDAM bomb kills everything in a 30-40 meter radius and more deaths out to 10x that distance. That's just bombs, Israel is also using artillery, mortars, drones, small arms, etc. And then there's whatever deaths a water+fuel+food+medicine blockade might cause. Gaza's population density is high and well known, as is the percentage of women and children. Try some emotionless math that tells you thousands of women and children aren't dead...it just doesn't work.

The precentage of woman and children in the population is known but that is only relevant if you assume Israel is bombing randomly

Some civilians evict themselves from these areas (north and central gaza mainly)

Some of the bombed areas would have less civilians in them even before the war since they are used by hamas for war (but obviously not 0)

Israel publishes the high ranking Hamas members that are confirmed dead but don't report civ/"grunts"

Not that I am saying we should take the health ministry word as fact (they lied before, Al-Ahli Hospital is just an example) but I don't think their numbers would be orders of magnitude off

> Isn't Israel inflicting civilian casualties because Hamas is using human shields?

Nope, they're doing ethnic cleansing. Just last night Israel bombed the West Bank. Hospitals, schools, restaurants, markets... taking civilians hostage.

Thristle commented on Ask HN: What is your streaming setup like?    · Posted by u/g4zj

I'm on a bunch of private torrent trackers where retention is excellent. Jackett is interfacing with those trackers and exposes a unified "Torznab" endpoint that Sonarr and Radarr use to autograb whatever I'm interested in. Those in turn send their match to qBittorrent and get notified when a download is finished, and hardlink (very important to save time and hard disk space) the result to a destination folder in a nicely organized fashion. That folder is observed by Jellyfin, which matches the name with The Movie DB to show cover images of shows and movies.

I used to perform a manual search and pick the right release for me. Nowadays, my filters are good enough that I just add whatever is supposed to be released in the foreseeable future, and the setup is doing the rest.

I'm also archiving whatever I'm watching long term on a local 4x18TB RAID-5 NAS

It's crazy how well this software collection works in unison.

Thristle · 2 years ago
This is exactly my setup. It is SHOCKING how well it works
