Even in the perfect land of the free people die from heat:

> we estimate that some 9,000 deaths each year in the country are impacted by heat

Indeed. Ukrainians should have talked to the Kurds before relying on the US

Im a jetbrains user, dev for 20+ years and Ive never been to a tech conference, I only go to conferences where my customers are. Who needs conferences when you have HN?

I use mine just to purify air for my precious LTO tape drive. My baby doesnt like dust

TotalCmd's Lister can handle it. By default you just get text and hex viewer, but you can install plugins (like for markdown) and then it renders rich text by default but you can switch to plain text (or hex) by pressing 1 or 3. One day I'll move away from Windows and I'll have to find a replacement :(

DigiD.nl (login to government services), RTL (major broadcaster) and parliament shut down their websites. https://nos.nl/liveblog/2636066-websites-kwetsbaar-voor-soft...

Looks GovCMS decided to do the same thing, that means the vast majority of Australian govt websites are now offline... insane stuff

I'd be worried about websites not shutting down immediately. It's better to wait few hours than being hacked.

The right choice for sure, the scale of this CVE is truly impressive.

Even worse, Tweakers as well :(

Not Tweakers!!

Seriously though. I don’t know what’s best. Taking everything down or not.. I just run a small time SaaS.


Major Japanese services like pixiv and e-commerce platforms have elected to turn off services until patches are available. If you're smaller than pixiv, you can afford to go down for a few hours.

Aw, where's the fun in that! Much more interesting to apply random mitigations from untrusted sources like "bombcar" and then

    tail -F /var/log/access_log | grep --line-buffered -v -E '"(GET|HEAD) '

Take it down, nobody knows the risks of keeping things online at the moment.

At least Albert Heijn works! You can watch the web die with a 6pack pepernotencola

The risk is real and large.

And the work to clean up if you get compromised is massive.


I've tried to take one website on a shared hoster down. But I actually can't disable PHP there at all. So no idea if just taking down the website will fix it. Probably PHP won't get executed if no .php files are served, but I'm not sure.

it's a shared host? So the hoster should have shut it down?

No, they don't just shut down websites. Might do more harm than good.

University of Vienna also took a lot offline. Seems it's getting patched fast now, though.

Edit: Or maybe not? At least one service on their IT-department's list seems to be working again. :-)


CO2 emissions trade for about 50$/t. CO2 capture costs 500$/t. So, both are useless - it costs 10 times more to get the carbon out, why are we selling them so cheap, it costs 10 times more to get the carbon out compared to not emitting it, it will never be economical.

You have over ear headphones in your pocket? And a set of stereo speakers?

No, nor do i have VHS tapes. Oh you got me good, well done you.

"Gentlemen, please, there is no fighting in the HN comments"

On the other hand imagine how popular would a real nationalist far right party be that would say "fight Russia"

As it happens, pretty much all far right nationalist parties are friendly with Russia. It would take a huge effort to change that discourse, or to build a new far right party from scratch - and now even without russian botnet support.
