That's true, but while they're cached, if someone else could see them, they're hosted, and you're liable for hosting them.

I understand that Mastodon has a "local feed", and even if you're its sole user, if you don't block anonymous readers from access, that means someone could technically see a message by someone else that you're subscribed to, take umbrage at it, and sue you for making it available on your server, even temporarily.

From what I've seen of Mastodon, it does seem possible to block access to the server's local feed, but I don't know that for sure.

In addition to the local feed, there's also what you personally boost. I'm not sure how one strikes a balance, and if the software is still usable, if you were to hide the main URL for your feed (at least, the URL so that visitors from the web can read your feed on your server). Would it still be possible to participate in conversations, would people still be able to subscribe to you?

Yes. I follow several remote users who default to "unlisted" posts. (To be honest, I don't know if they're unlisted or follower-only posts -- I can't tell.)

The same thing that's, you know, stopping them from having real power grids.

Extending the grid to power a remote village is not the same thing as the villagers running their own microgrid.

How and why did it implode? I always have a feeling of wanting to go back to basic chat rooms for linux and all but today it´s more like a chore than anything else.

The best book I know on subject of how to best display computer programs is:

This is somewhat unusual: 28% on the Tomatometer, but 7 out of 10 on IMDb.

Beyond its relevancy to the parent comment, would you consider it a good movie yourself? (for a random/average HN commenter to watch)

Three movies with overlapping themes came out in mid-1999: The Matrix, The Thirteenth Floor, and eXistenZ (probably in that order of box office revenue).

Anyone have openssl benchmarks? I.e. run "openssl speed" and post the output. Thanks!

I don't know if it uses the vector instructions.

No SATA :(
self · 3 months ago
I bought the 32 GB emmc module for it, for the root filesystem. I have a 500 GB nvme drive for everything else. I believe an nvme-to-sata riser will work, but I don't have one to test with (plus you'd need to power the sata drive with something else).

Don't suppose there's actually documentation for the CPU anywhere? (I mean more than a tiny "datasheet" with a very high level overview and/or a pile of random Linux/uboot patches)
self · 3 months ago
Spacemit's website is a pain to use, but the processor appears to work almost exactly like the K1, so:

- go to https://developer.spacemit.com/

- click on documentation

- click on Keystone

- click on K1

Elixir won't allow you to do that:

   iex(2)> "/home/cess11" * 9
   ** (ArithmeticError) bad argument in arithmetic expression: "/home/cess11" * 9
       :erlang.*("/home/cess11", 9)
       iex:2: (file)
Documentation is full of type information:

https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Enum.html#types

self · 5 months ago
I think their point is that Elixir lets you write

    defmodule Multiply do
      def m9(m1), do: m1 * 9
    end

    # elsewhere...
    defmodule Caller do
      def doit() do
        Multiply.m9(2)
        Multiply.m9("hi")
      end
    end
It won't raise an exception or give you a warning while compiling it (tested with 1.18.4). Even adding

    @spec m9(integer()) :: integer()
above its definition doesn't do anything.
