The authors name is Ed Zitron. Whereyoured.at is the website url, so WYEA is just “where your ed at?” website logo.
It’s a touch byzantine, but straightforward when you look at the details of the site.
51·3 days agoThat’s one the books I tried to get through. Maybe it was in a more raw state at the time, but it didn’t click for me.
Im honestly more interested in Nix, as even with all the chaos it feels like it has good technical momentum. I just wish there was something equivalent to Geerlings “Ansibles for devops” or Shotts “The linux command line” for it.
As someone who is curious about Nix but has given up after trying to wade through the myriad and conflicting “getting started” resources for it, I cant imagine how bad guix docs must be for a Nix enthusiast to adandon it.
It reads as an “honor” system rather than any objective exclusionary mechanism. Steering committee members are expected, and to their credit, were considered to have done so, but it all seems like judgement calls.
It is fully possible that grey areas or instances where other SC members didn’t personally care, were not met with recusal.
It would overall be better to not have those conflicts be likely or even possible.
You mean the rogue with an epic, OP bag of holding that steals things automatically.
4·4 days agoI’m sure plenty of non shit heads use it, but yeah.
EDIT: Way more on this NixOS issue here:
Its starting to replace ansible/puppet/etc as the IAC tool of choice.
As an example, one of the core nix maintainers works for Anduril, the AI weapons/surveillance company run by right wing shit head Palmer lucky. Ive heard they are deep in the Nix ecosystem. Here is their nixos stig config.
Isn’t Nixos the new Arch? Its way more byzantine, still under development, a silicon valley darling and requires learning a new DSL to install packages.
51·6 days agoYeah the weight of this chassis is likely incredible. Looks like the electric chassis can support 55,000lb coaches, so the chassis is likely 10,000-20,000lbs or more on its own with batteries. Total bus weight may be up to 70,000 lbs.
Even if you add 50 people each weighing 200lbs, that 10,000lbs is around 10% of the total weight.
Batteries used to be pretty bad, so I expect they thought “since people already go to stations for petrol, they will be fine going to stations for hydrogen.” Maybe they even thought they could get into the production/sales side of hydrogen, and get to reap huge profits from controlling a variable commodity like gasoline.
Turns out batteries got way better, and people enjoy fuelling their vehicles with a simple plug at home. Some people also gladly make the “fuel” with cheap solar panels. Electricity is just way cheaper and more adaptable, so people are making a pretty simple choice by opting to use it instead of hydrogen.
3·9 days agoA lot more info, history and videos here:
Note that this apparently does work with a 4 port local KVM as well. Technotim, a homelab youtuber, tested them working together smoothly.
So buddy up the above with a jetkvm and you can control 4 systems at once.
1·11 days agoBest case for their charity is likely to stay on Slack to get them as corporate sponsors, but add “data sovereignty” as a core part of their curriculum. That keeps the charity going, but instills the foss ethos in all their students.
Who knows though. They have 5 years of free slack either way because it would be incredibly bad PR to revoke it now. The runway is there to exit cleanly at least, which is a lot more than they had before.
4·11 days agoAnd to compound on these efficiency losses, while the energy source is dense, it is heavy. You have to move fuel around by spending fuel, lots and lots of it. We use an ungodly amount of fossil fuels moving fossil fuels somewhere to be used. Fuel and coal tankers are a huge percentage of the energy we spend on earth.
Electricity on the other hand can be locally produced nearly anywhere with wind/solar, and with infrastructure upgrades, be moved over wire with very little loss and no fossil fuel expenditure.
The founders comments in the hacker new thread, plus some other errant ones from hack club users.
Here is there “we are staying on slack” comment:
Hi, update here (this is Christina, Hack Club cofounder): looks like Hack Club is staying on Slack.
Thanks to all of you for the appreciation and support for Hack Club, and for listening to what we were going through. The support has been amazing. Hack Club has so many cool teenagers coding awesome projects, making friends and solving problems together, and it’s great to see so many people championing them. We are glad to stay on Slack and want to do so much more with them together going forward.
Thanks to Denise and the Slack leadership team for reaching out here on hn, and in a call directly with me and Zach today. And thank you for restoring Hack Club’s terms with improvements. We really appreciate it, and we’re glad to be able to stay on Slack.
I just want to add that it was great to get to know Mattermost and the team- and the hack club engineers were actually pretty excited to move there. It’s an amazing product and for it to be open source is awesome.
She doesn’t mention the “new rate” but it was apparently confirmed internally, and there is a comment in that above thread that lists it.
They opted out of moving to Mattermost. After the uproar that saw the slack ceo and cpo going to hacker news to do damage control, slack gave them 5 years of free “enterprise +,” their highest tier. Apprently the slack ceo and other exec also called and apologised to the hack club founders.
It is disappointing that hack club opted to stick with Slack, but i get why they may be overwhelmed and maybe feeling the effects of a charm offensive. I’m betting, although nothing has been announced, that Slack and its Salesforce billions, is going to make a donation down the line too.
Hopefully they spin up at least some parallel infrastructure. Some of the teens were commenting that this was an eye opening experience for them about owning your data, so at least that will likely stick.
Can you show me what Telsa is doing that comparable to any of these 3 techs:
Maybe just show me one of Tesla working battery swap stations:

The yellow looks like sea urchin. Very earthy, a lot of “sea” flavor, some grittiness. Expensive aa fuck generally. The large roe looks like salmon roe, intense bursts of salmon flavor.
The pink slices are harder. Maybe tuna, maybe wagu beef. Maybe some kind of sushi “surf and turf” plate.
