Viktor Frankl man's search for meaning - great perspective I needed while going through an emotionally difficult breakup. Basically it's a story about a psychologist during the holocaust and his experience in concentration camps. How it changed people and the experiences he lived through.

The big question in the book he's trying to answer is why do some people give up while others Excell in life.

Nobody knows what a great investment is, just understand your risk threshold and be OK with taking risks.

If you want a general rule of thumb look to invest in the broader market mainly and then have smaller portions of your portfolio invested in riskier assets.

This. The Bogleheads strategy is maybe not exciting, but I believe it works if you stick to it.

This isn't a total cultural norm, if anything I think it's a view from america a few generations ago. For instance all of my friends and extended friend groups are open about our incomes.

With complete total strangers I would totally agree people generally don't lead with their salary. But after knowing people for a while it's come up a bunch and it's a taboo.

We’re talking public record, which means total strangers.

Thank you for fighting the eternal September that is now prevelant in online message boards

Yeah but for that one day it will be pretty good.

I guess it's more about priorities, if you want to build a web app don't reinvent the underlying protocols. If you want to build an embedded system for monitoring room temperature don't invent your own locks.

But if you want to make a lock by all means make a lock, just don't go and reinvent the chip architecture...

It's possible some other group will buy the data, or they will make it easily download able

Actually, archive.org is already easily downloadable, in that you can already help host the dweb copy.

archive.org, available via webtorrent: https://dweb.archive.org/

It's pretty slow, though.

Like the way Google did with the Usenet archive. Make it available via a searchable interface, then gradually degrade the archive until old posts can't be found any more.

They also degraded the interface so that the posts that once would be found via normal searching now aren't anymore. After the removal of the discussion filter, searches for X started returning more sites selling X than forums talking about X.

There was a thread on Google forums about that, and I recall many upset users asking for the option to be reactivated, but (the irony) that discussion was removed as well.

This is lewd but funny, I needed that laugh.

My favorite is to implement a tarpit while moving the ssh port.

For those who, like me, are unfamiliar with the concept of a SSH tarpit, it's a technique consisting of inserting delays into SSH connection attempts.

Old HN discussion on Endlessh:

Isn’t this easily detectable for any malicious script? Just a small timeout and try the next port.

Does that mean that you automatically block IPs that try to login on port 22 (since they are obviously malicious/port scannners)? If yes, is there any specialized daemon for that or are you using firewall rules? Or are you running a SSH honeypot on port 22?

The post is referring to this: https://github.com/skeeto/endlessh

I'm guessing that the person you replied to is referring to the same.

A tarpit is a technique to waste your opponents time and network sockets. Usually by accepting the connection but only sending or receiving data at like 1byte/s.

For a second I thought it was a reference to the hacker magazine and not the phone dial... then I realized it's the same reference. Facepalm.
