Using FreeBSD dummynet it’s possible to modify the characteristics of network traffic and emulate e.g. Somalia performance from a datacenter in France.
> I installed a BitTorrent client, found the release on Pirate Bay, successfully torrented just the subtitle file, and used an editor to read the subtitles for scenes with a lot of alien.
... while you were on the movies? That's "Mr Robot" level, kudos!
I agree. It’s just there has not been a pro-EU vote in any form or capacity by any EU population. So the stopped doing referendums but the EU grew only even more unpopular- and lately with VDL and KK, its as if its a cruel joke we all expect for it to end soon.
EU is holding, but the fact that every authoritarian (US, China, Russia) is trying to break it apart should tell you something. It's like the only one remaining, and they don't like it.
You may not agree, but VDL and KK have more balls than most men who have run the EU in recent history.
Just to make myself clear: I don’t think the UK made the right move. But if you ask most countries in referendums they will choose to leave.
Ps. I know HN likes the EU very much because they see it as an opposing power to their home issues but it’s not that. The EU, in its current form, has many structural problems. That doesn’t mean that Europeans like Musk, Trump or Biden.
Can you name a referendum of a country within the EU that has to do with the EU in some form or capacity and received a positive vote? Netherlands, France, Italy and Greece all voted at a certain point in time. The result was always a “no”.
The EU is not popular, within Europe, at all. Maybe the idea is great, but the implementation is certainly not.
what are you on about?
this idea of a referendum is a straw man. Member states joined the EU through mechanisms of their state. (Acts of parlements, referendum or something else).
Also, the votes you are described are all about the implementation of certain ideas/legislation inside the context of the EU, not about the organisation itself?
I'm a European citizen, stating the obvious. Happens to be the contrary of what most ppl in here think it is.
> Member states joined the EU through mechanisms of their state. (Acts of parlements, referendum or something else).
They did. That was a long time ago. When the EU was created the expectation was to align salaries, social welfare networks through access to cheap lending through the common currency, even though politicians like Margaret Thatcher understood the role of the ECB the moment it was proposed. Indeed her last speech as a PM in the house of commons is legendary[^1].
> Also, the votes you are described are all about the implementation of certain ideas/legislation inside the context of the EU, not about the organisation itself?
Most voters don't make that distinction. The fact that every time a government wants to implement an unpopular idea uses the EU as an excuse doesn't help ofc.
To recap: given the opportunity, the majority of countries in Europe would choose to live the EU today, if you ask them. It was much easier for the UK to do so, because they were not part of the monetary union.
[^1]: "[...] the point of that kind of Europe with a central bank is no democracy, taking powers away from every single Parliament, and having a single currency, a monetary policy and interest rates which take all political power away from us.", M. Thatcher, Excerpt from her last speeh as UK's PM (1990).
Nothing new here. Antirez for once has taken a similar stance on his YouTube video channel which has material on the topic. But it's worthwhile having a document like this publicly available by a company that the tech crowd seems to respect.

The "RFD" here stands for "Reason/Request for Decision" or something else? (Request for Decision doesn't have a nice _ring_ on it tbh). I'm aware of RFCs ofc and the respective status changes (draft, review, accepted, rejected) or ADR (Architectural Decision Record) but have not come across the RFD acronym. Google gave several different answers.

CloudFlare doesn’t have a good track record. It’s the third party that caused more outages for us than any other third party service in the last four years.
This study tested whether an unexpected event, such as the presence of a person dressed as Batman, could increase prosocial behavior by disrupting routine and enhancing attention to the present moment. We conducted a quasi-experimental field study on the Milan metro, observing 138 rides. In the control condition, a female experimenter, appearing pregnant, boarded the train with an observer. In the experimental condition, an additional experimenter dressed as Batman entered from another door. Passengers were significantly more likely to offer their seat when Batman was present (67.21% vs. 37.66%, OR = 3.393, p < 0.001). Notably, 44% of those who offered their seat in the experimental condition reported not seeing Batman. These findings suggest that unexpected events can promote prosociality, even without conscious awareness, with implications for encouraging kindness in public settings.
I believe that in 1Passwd you can define / preselect a key per host now. So you can pinpoint key -> host. Some hosts have firewall rules that will block after X attempts were X might be low.
However the agent still has access to all your keys, obviously.
Ah cool. I worked around by storing the public keys in my dot repo and use the identity file ssh config option for said host. Great if I don’t have to do this anymore.
Next level config madness: Use different ssh keys per GitHub org ;).
