  • Yeh, absolutely.The DMCA takedown works because music/film industry execs have previously gone after YouTube for not responding to legitimate copyright infringements.So YouTube now favours the person claiming the strike and makes it very difficult for the defendant to exonerate themselves.

    Changing how they publish will sidestep YouTube overplaying.But YouTube has revenue split with content creators, and has an absolutely massive audience with discovery algorithms and community stuff. Moving away from that platform would be an insane move

  • I'd still run k8s inside a proxmox VM. Even if it's basically all resources dedicated to the VM, proxmox gives you a huge amount of oversight and additional tooling.Proxmox doesn't have to do much (or even anything), beyond provide a virtual machine.

    I've ran Talos OS (dedicated k8s distro) bare metal. It was fine, but I wish I had a hypervisor. I was lucky that my project could be wiped and rebuilt with ease. Having a hypervisor would mean I could've just rolled back to a snapshot, and separated worker/master nodes without running additional servers.This was sorely missed when I was both learning the deployment of k8s, and k8s itself.For the next project that is similar, I'll run talos inside proxmox VMs.

    As far as "how does cloudflare work in k8s".... However you want?You could manually deploy the example manifests provided by cloudflare.Or perhaps there are some helm charts that can make it all a bit easier?

    Or you could install an operator, which will look for Custom Resource Definitions or specific metadata on standard resources, then deploy and configure the suitable additional resources in order to make it work.https://github.com/adyanth/cloudflare-operator seems popular?

    I'd look to reduce the amount of yaml you have to write/configure by hand. Which is why I like operators

  • White House says slavery is being taught wrong, should not be so negative

  • In his Truth Social website President Donald Trump described the Smithsonian as "OUT OF CONTROL" and said museums across the United States are "WOKE."

    Convicted felon says museums are woke and out of control.

    In a statement sent to Newsweek the Smithsonian said: "The Smithsonian's work is grounded in a deep commitment to scholarly excellence, rigorous research, and the accurate, factual presentation of history.

    The world's largest museum, education and research complex says they are grounded in accurate presentation of history.

    It's pretty clear that the US government is targeting the Smithsonian and other historical archives to rewrite history.

    Considering the other articles linked which talk about the removal of trump's impeachments and other pressures on historical facts and accuracy, I'd be worried about the following quote:

    "It's not about whitewashing it's about full context, so while slavery is obviously a horrible aspect of our nation's history you can't really talk about slavery honestly unless you also talk about hope and progress and I think we need to be focusing on the progress that we've made then and we need to stop focusing so much on the lack of progress.

    So, yeh the Nazis killed a bunch of people. But they also developed the Volkswagen, Porsche and Hugo Boss. And we have all come to appreciate fancy cars and fly shirts. So, let's not focus on what the Nazis did, but instead let's concentrate on the hope that cars bring!

    And even if you argue that "things are better now". Sure, somewhat. But, imo, it's not really something to celebrate. Black people can vote, but shitty racist people in power still suppress the fuck out of them.

    Germany recognises it's history. It teaches it in school, it's made memorials & museums of historically abhorrent places, and it's outlawed everything related.

    US still celebrates Thanksgiving.https://www.forbes.com/sites/maiahoskin/2022/11/24/the-real-history-behind-thanksgiving/

    So yeh, here is the directive:https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/03/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-restores-truth-and-sanity-to-american-history/

    to work to eliminate improper, divisive, or anti-American ideology from the Smithsonian and its museums, education and research centers, and the National Zoo.

    So, eliminate some history.But - depending on how carefully that scalpel is wielded - it could cut away the bad parts and leave the "good" parts. Cherry picking, if you will.Leaves a generally positive vibe of slavery.Divisive and anti-american to whip/hang/rape slaves. So, leave that part out.But provide the American dream for a slave by impregnating them and giving them a less crowded room and easier slave labour, or elevating them to a house position, or whatever... THATS the American dream!Slaves that behaved were treated well.But, just leave out the thousands of slaves that were beaten for sensless reasons because they were considered barbaric and sub-human.Just... Ignore the fact that they were kidnapped from their home, transported for weeks in horrendous conditions, then auctioned off to rich white men.

  • SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink

  • Yeh, 30ms is still inside the haas delay.If you are a professional listener (sound engineer, musician, dancer) then you can probably perceive it (in a similar way that eyes theoretically only need 25fps, but 60/120/144 is noticeably better).

    In 30ms, sound can travel 10 meters.So, if you've ever had a conversation with someone across a classroom, you've had a conversation with 30ms latency.

    For data, 30ms is 8100 km for electricity over copper, or 6000km for light over fibre.

    Meaning 30ms over fibre (considering no transmission delays) would be roughly the direct distance between US and UK.

    So yeh, 30ms is nothing

  • It's also easier to share vulnerability fixes between different projects.

    "Y" was using a similar memory management as "T", T was hacked due to whatever, people that use Y and T report to Y that a similar vulnerability might be exploitable

    Edit:In closed source, this might happen if both projects are under the same company.But users will never have the ability to tell Y that T was hacked in a way that might affect Y
