Hasn't changed much. I have accepted the risk and, for now, the desire to have publicly accessible stuff outweights my lack of desire to deal with the realities of a VPN. I mean, I want to share stuff with others, and I want to be hosting it myself because I have grown to distrust someone else's service... so what else can I do but risk it?
Besides: I expect tailscale or the underlying VPN services to already be a target. I would be surprised if they don't find anything. What then?
Sunsetting to me implies that existing users may continue using it for an indeterminate amount of time, with or without ancillary services, but that the team/business has moved on and no one should pick it up. There may, or may not be, accommodations for existing users to either continue using, or migrating to another service.
To continue in analogy land, the sun has set, the store is technically still open because there are people inside, and they are not being kicked out, but you shouldn't, or won't be able to, come in as a new customer. It also implies that the people in should know it is getting dark outside and should maybe find their way home (or to the bar).
A shutdown instead implies a hard deadline after which the service will no longer work.
To give examples:
My current setup is Uptime Kuma sending notifications via Ntfy.
I need to resolve the issue of what to do when the internet is down (and thus Ntfy cannot be reached), but it has so far done everything I want it to do. It also means I get push notifications on all the devices I care to receive them on.
For what it is worth, yesterday I tried to do place the machine first exactly because of that. The machine complained. I did not insist, since it was faster for my five items to just do what it wanted me to do, but it is possible the setup just does not like it.
My understanding of the way that recipes are written is that ingredients are put in a list so you know if you have everything you need, or if you need to run to the store). There is no point in trying to make those new brownies if I check my pantry and I am missing the brown sugar and the store is closed.
I do suspect that most people writing recipes are the kind to plan and prepare. Admittedly, it helps for working through the recipe for the purposes of writing it.
The most recent recipe i transcribed was, very much:
The only times I have had my mind changed are when I merely listened, and heard, and said nothing. It is tough to be vulnerable enough to be open to change. I think that even approaching it as a debate implies being combative, and thus makes it hard to be vulnerable.
There is also that some people just aren't online to convince anyone of their point of view, or to be convinced otherwise, but just to say what they want to say and find people who agree with them. You're most likely not going to change their mind because they just aren't even in a position to entertain that there is something that could change.
There is one time I'd like to think I brought up something that the person hasn't considered... But, if I'm generous, it only brought nuance to the subject.
Do they actually solve the issue of trust? I don't dispute that they make it a simpler problem, but I don't think you can claim that you don't have to trust anyone.
My understanding is that if the blockchain decides (i.e.: people in general) that you do not own the NFT, they could create a fork in the database. You may still have your version, but if no one uses it, aren't you left in the same place?
To actually answer the question: because bad things happened.
First of all, this is a public road used by a lot of people. This is a shared space/resource that we all want to benefit from, and that means that it needs to be safe for everyone to use it (otherwise, people are not going to use it and thus no benefit from it).
By speeding (or letting a Tesla do the self-driving without paying attention), they broke important rules. The other point is that had there been an accident, then we would have punished the person for the accident too.
We can argue about whether a given speed limit is adequate for a given stretch of road, but the core of it is that someone (usually experts) settled on a speed under which it is safe to travel. Going above that speed means that you are now taking on more risks than accounted for when designed.
Why is breaking these rules bad? Because, for example, normalization of deviance. The long-story short is that safety rules are an important part of keeping a system safe, and ignoring them removes the safety margins built into the system and either makes accidents more likely, or makes any accident that does happen more disastrous.
To stay around the speeding example, consider the following: people take a set amount of time to react. The faster you go, the more distance you need to react. If you are traveling down a road, and an animal crosses 100 meters ahead, the faster you go the less time you have to react.
Also consider the following: roads are not perfect. If you go over a patch with sand, or a recently-rained-on surface, you may end up with much less grip than you thought you did, and you end up spinning on the turn, or not breaking enough. And you won't know you need it until you do, and now you're too late to not speed.
If you were on a private road? Good luck. Its on you. But you are in a public space, and it's likely you're putting others at risk, either directly, or by (as linked above) normalizing deviance and making it more likely for others to not follow the rules when it matters.
I appreciate the heads-up, though. I was planning on getting it for the beta, but I guess I will just keep waiting. My Steam library isn't hurting for other things to play, even within the genre.
I tried Vampire Survivors and despite how fun it was to see the game played, I am not sure I actually enjoy playing it. Then again, I have put quite a few hours on Time Wasters, and that may just be more my jam.
Otherwise? Playing Infested Planet. The control scheme is serviceable, if awkward, but I can also just pick it up whenever which is the use case for the Steam Deck.
I would love to see a grand sci-fi game that's a mixture of Titanfall and mirror's edge.
You would have open world runner sections where your entire job is to run messages between agents on a city/station that is working hard to steer the war... and then you go and do big stompy robots combined arms, titalfall-esque fighting, just open world instead of the (rather great) map, point-to-point of the original.
Alternatively, just give me either a single player or MMO implementation of The Allbright System.
Whatever I choose, I would just like the engine to be released under GPL, and the assets under CC-3.0-BY-NC-SA so that it lives on, regardless of however well it does.
I wish you the best of luck on your future endeavor. I admit I never quite managed to just pick up a textbook to read through ahead of time, though it would have (perhaps) helped.
I would give a few pieces of advise to my younger self, and I think they should still be valid for others:
First: it is very important to sleep, for a bunch of learning-related reasons. But, perhaps more measurable: if you feel the need to pull an all-nighter, it is very likely you are falling behind and trying to crunch your way through. I'm not saying don't do it, because if you are there, you are there, but maybe take the opportunity once it is all said and done to see if you can avoid it in the future, yeah? Sleeping enough is cool, and helps you learn better.
Second: understanding the fundamentals really helps you understand everything else. I struggled with some of the mathematics classes in my course exactly because I did not have a solid grasp of the fundamentals.
Third: you're going to be in class anyway, so pay attention (not that I didn't) and then, afterwards, review the class. Probably by writing a summary/notes about it. The point isn't to produce something that I can then look up, but to see what I retained and what I didn't, and thus I should review.
Fourth: put it into practice. Try to teach others (even if it is just a video you're never going to upload to youtube), or work through a project that exercises it. Theory is great. Toy exercises are great too. The best thing my university did for us was to get us 2 weeks worth of project at the end of each semester.
Fifth: the better you are at language, the better you will be at everything. Why? Simple: your classes will use language to transmit the knowledge to you, whether spoken or written. You will use language to transmit your answers to whoever is grading you. You can have the most amazing teacher and the most amazing learning materials, know all the right tools and techniques... but if you cannot really parse and understand what you are hearing/reading, then you won't learn. Likewise, you may know the material perfectly, but if you cannot articulate your answer? Not only will you not get good grades (which sucks), you will later on struggle to work with others as they, too, need to understand what is going on.
There are plenty of tools to help with all of the above. Index cards are great, whether physical or digital. But I would try to avoid falling into the pitfall that highlighting/underlining or writing notes is learning. They can definitely be tools for learning, but I have seen people who were prolific highlighters and note takers who did not have such a great domain over what they were supposedly learning.
