So that people with no shame, and with strong anti-social tendencies who are in power can come back at the de-anonymized people. Yeah, thanks.

I would think that in this audience OpenSCAD would be an option.

I only do occasional design for some things to print, and I'm always happy to come back to my OpenSCAD text files that I can actually read and understand within minutes, rather than having to try to remember the correct click path through some giant graphical CAD software.

Fully agree that text-based CAD is the obvious path forward. But OpenSCAD won't cut it, it just lacks too many features, starting from basic fillets to more fundamental things like relative object positioning. Check out CadQuery, it's much more ergonomic and future-proof.

I've found that most of my additional feature needs are covered by the BOSL2 library, tbh. It's also a pretty compact core, so being rather limited to me is a good thing. I think I looked at CadQuery a year ago or so, but quickly went back to OpenSCAD.

Mittelstand is singular (like middle class).

I would say decidedly yes for Hetzner. Mittelstand can somewhat be characterized by size, but it's mostly that they are more like a family, have different values and more long term thinking than the larger industry and public companies. It's also kind of a brand that many companies would like to attribute to themselves, even much larger companies that like that seal of quality.

Black HN ribbon for the Internet

I assume you're joking, but as an FYI, Rebecca Heineman died:

I think the word "modern" gives away that it's going to be marketing vaporware.

Is there some sort of equivalent to this book but in English, which explains and diagrams the Linux network stack? Doesn't need to be all in one, I feel like having a more high level overview and then subsystem diagrams with explanations would work as well.

Thanks for the reminder to cancel my Bahncard, last time I forgot.

Kind of fitting that this is currently #1 on HN

What's more, it's been posted 40 times, the first being back in 2007!

Ah yes, the "I'll read it later" flavour of procrastination.

I don't read it later, HN is where I go to procrastinate, lol.

That's an "Office Space" reference, in which a grumpy employee burns down the IT company building.

Perhaps extra-relevant to a story about data-loss, Milton was an employee who fell through the cracks in a broken corporate bureaucracy.

His was supposedly laid off years ago, but nobody actually stopped his paycheck, so he kept coming in to work assuming he was still employed, getting shuffled into increasingly-abusive working environments by callously indifferent managers who assume he's somebody else's problem.

I love this idea of a topic-specific search index with manual curation of sources, really well done :)

Would be great if others could build similar catalogs for other areas (e.g. specific to certain programming languages, etc). Have you considered open-sourcing the components behind this?
