Immich is extremely stable even if not labeled as such. My personal experience is zero maintenance (other than updating docker container) since deployment several years ago.
Stability also implies that we don’t have to update our server version every couple of days/weeks because otherwise the mobile app stops working. I’m ok upgrading but it gets old wondering why the photos aren’t showing up and then realizing that it’s because the versions are out of sync and the mobile app just refuses to talk to the server.
This sounds a bit like my experience with Home Assistant, it's very stable as long as I don't frequently update it. If I install every update I've frequently messed up my installation/config.
And payment processors can also identify these. And most of them you have to purchase with a minimum amount on ($10 or $20 afaik).
Virtual debit cards however are interesting. My bank lets me set up as many of those as I like and I don't even have to use my real name or billing address with them.
And yeah, there's also the stolen credit card / debit card market. I really can't see this adding that much pain for these bot handlers. It might make it a bit easier to identify the patterns at least.
I think this will just end up moving the problem further down the line and end up with twitter accounts being bought / sold.
Can you automate that though? Having to buy an individual card per bot could be a pretty annoying secondary cost for a thing whose lifetime value is likely measured in the single digits of dollars.
You don't buy card numbers individually. You buy lists of them, of varying quantity, quality and price and you just cycle the numbers until you find ones that work.
Costs per card about $5 bucks, and will get cycled into a multi-merchant hit to extract the most value from each card. A $1 Twitter charge, $50 bucks in digital gift cards, a "maybe it will work" hit for hundreds in electronics, or clothes, etc.
If nothing else, Twitter just made itself a GREAT place to test stolen numbers, since a $1 charge isn't likely to raise any flags and get the card shut down.
In my opinion, it's less about the amount and more about setting an example that this is something that moral companies should be doing.
My startup sponsors 25 projects/developers on Github [0], curl including, and none of them with a significant amount of money. However, if majority of companies that use OSS were to do so, the amount of funding would suddenly be a game-changer for almost all of these projects.
Total amount was around $175/mo at one point, though recently I had to cut it back (now at $85, at $5/mo per project) when I switched from a paid project to a pre-revenue “startup” I'm now working on.
Not as sexy as $10'000 donations, of course :^) Hopefully I can scale it back up when my financial situation gets more sound.
A lot of people each pitching in an insignificant amount suddenly make up a ton. I think most of us have a Netflix subscription's worth to spare for the things that enable us to make money (but even less still totally matters).
Europe has quite a few high-quality, high-speed rail connections. If I may suggest a feature, in order for the tool is to be faithful to its mission, alternative mods of transport could be supported as well.
Personally, I am more than happy to take an overnight train than a short-flight, given the additional overhead of travelling to/from the airport. An overnight train can take you pretty far within continental Europe.
That's what I'm going to do this August with my 3yr old as we'll be visiting friends and family etc.
I'd be taking a train to London (about 3h), then EuroStar to Paris (2h 15), then to Berlin (about 8h). Total time ~13 hours.
Flight time for me to Berlin is ~4h, but to get to Airport and the wait for boarding brings it probably close to 8h, but then I can't visit the relatives in Paris that easy.
Actually I don't like flying that much these days (the eco reasons aside).
This is the ideal case. However, I have been involved in quite a bit of European projects and it is not that easy. Last meeting was in Poznan and I could have used the train via Berlin from south Germany, but somehow I have not been able to book any night trains lately and traveling over the day would have taken a whole day of my work week instead of half. Next trip is the other direction to The Hague. I will take the train but last time I had to replan my trip 3 times while traveling due to cancellations and delays. I don't want to fly but I am always totally stressed after long train trips. To a typical meeting people from like 10 countries come in a European research project. Traveling from Germany to Spain or even Greece is not really feasible by train until we get better night train connections (only Austrian rail is actually operating them, but there seems currently no chance to book them)
I don't travel for work by train but for fun, so my experience is probably different to yours.
Some EU countries (Greece, Poland, Portugal) still have terrible, slow trains. Paris-Berlin takes 8h (fastest one) for about 877 km.
Berlin-Gdansk takes 8h for about 400 km (!!).
I last traveled by night train about 20 years ago throughout Germany and Poland. It was terrible experience. But great if I was looking for a companion to beer, or surprise sex with random folk.
Also night trains are non-existent in some countries. For example in the UK, most trains run from 6am onwards on week days. Forget if you need to travel from York and be in London for 8am. We have some night services[0] that go out of London to Scotland/Cornwall but I see them more like touristic offer than for any economic reason.
Considering the size of the cities and how close they are, I'm surprised train transportation is so slow. Paris has 11 million people (comparable to Los Angeles). Berlin has 6 million people (comparable to Philadelphia). As the crow flies, they are 545 miles apart. By road the distance is 650 miles. Assuming you average 60mph, that's 11 hours by car. And when you get to your destination you have a car, so you can easily travel outside the main city. Using a car also means you don't have to worry about transportation to/from the train stations, nor do you have to do anything special to transport bulky items such as bicycles.
Some of my friends have greatly praised European trains, so I thought they'd be far more compelling.
Europe's train network is often excellent within a country, but lacking when it comes to crossing country borders. That's starting to be addressed now, but it will take some time for the effects to be seen.
I was working on an app as a side project similar to this. Basically each traveler would fill out a form saying I live in X and I have access to car/train/etc. transportation. The idea was to match people and then find a central location for remote teams to meet up. For example, 2 people live in Chicago, 3 in NYC, and one in SF. Where is the best city to meet up; however, I was optimizing on cost.
At ProteinQure, we are building a computational platform for the design of protein therapeutics. Our mission is to help to create a world where drugs are engineered, not just discovered. We develop our own treatments for diseases such as cancer, among others, and partner with industry leaders in drug discovery to generate novel therapeutics outside of the conventional chemical space.
Our technology combines computational biophysical models with statistical and machine learning approaches to enable us to search across vast spaces of protein therapeutics. We build and deploy these computational modules using a scalable cloud computing infrastructure and complement their predictions with results from wet lab experiments.
You will work in an interdisciplinary deep tech company, interact directly with our scientists and can get involved on concrete drug discovery projects.
We scale our computational infrastructure to hundreds of nodes, tens of thousands of CPUs. Our tech stack is built on top of: modern Python, Docker+K8s, Ray, Linux.
I'd say, both. I wish the licenses were fluid across apps/platforms.
Say, I have a right to listen to Madonna from my Youtube Music subscription? A game, with the given permission to access my "music licenses" should be able to use that.
There's a report video button on top of the video for these. Far too many incorrect videos ruins the game a bit: You're on a streak and no video means you can lose 3 lives. I've reported about 50 videos so far.
For workloads where the image size was critical, I have achieved a similar result with using strace to collect the required files and then limiting the image to only those files in the build process.
It's a neat approach, but ultimately brings non-negligible amount of uncertainty as you can never be 100% sure your test set of inputs did not miss a particular edge case which will require to have a file present in the container that no other input does.
yes that tends to be the problem with docker-slim as well that is why it includes flags like --include-path with which you can easily achive such fixes
personaly i highly recommend as it works in most cases and gets rid of those vulnerablities that come with things like bash or passwd that you dont need in prod apps
My 20-person biotech startup runs on Linux including the workstations of a vast majority of employees.
There are definitely pain points, but also substantial productivity gains. For anybody trying this, my advice would be to attempt to ship the lowest number of possible HW configurations internally - with the ideal being having everybody on a same model of a laptop.
