Huh, pretty cool to #host 1kB #static #pages for #free https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=345.. I like the #idea and considered it myself, but it is super open for #abuse . I also considered a small #lightweight #vm for running #user #applications as a #webserver - potentially it could be super cool. I would be super tempted to run the #elk #js #engine https://github.com/cesanta/elk
Apparently #google #users will get a #free #upgrade from 15GB to 1TB #disk #space in the #cloud https://lowendbox.com/blog/google-is-upg.. I can't confirm if this applies to #email and #google #drive .
Interesting, it appears that it may be possible to build an #alternative #gps based on #starlink 's #lowearthorbit #leo #satellites https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/10.. It would be really cool if this could be a #secondary #free #service they are able to provide, perhaps #backed by #governments for a #reduced #cost .
#denmark taking the #brave step to stop providing #free #covid #vaccinations to #healthy #adults https://www.sst.dk/en/english/corona-eng.. It's about time, it doesn't work and it #costs a lot of #money in what is shaping out to be a terrible #recession .
So apparently there is now #violence for #hire for relatively low amounts of #money https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/09/viol.. The #comments are interesting on #krebsonsecurity , with the majority being " #free #patt ", the name of the person #arrested in connection to the #video #evidence .
Pretty interesting #discussion on #lowendbox regarding #free #vps 's: https://lowendbox.com/blog/free-vps-prov.. There was also some discussion regarding a #company called #freevps https://lowendbox.com/blog/flashback-fre.. Some cool #ideas , I wonder whether there isn't something in all of this.
Interesting #discussion about moving #postmarketos moving away from #gitlab and to #sourcehut https://postmarketos.org/blog/2022/07/25.. #gitlab are unfortunately #reducing their #free #tier , meaning many people are now looking to #migrate https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2022/03/24..
Interesting approach by #telegram to #request #developers #display #ads if they want to continue using their #api - to allow them to provide the #service for #free https://corefork.telegram.org/api/sponso.. Not sure how I feel about it to be honest, I will be watching this approach with some interest!
I *really* love this #quote "The #air of #england has long been too #pure for a #slave , and every man is #free who #breathes it.": https://quotes.yourdictionary.com/author..
This problem of #delayed #memory #allocation bit me years ago: https://lemire.me/blog/2021/10/27/in-c-h.. *Apparently* - if #linux fails to #allocate #memory it should return #null - but this is not true at all. Worse still, #free 'ing memory can also be delayed!
Very awesome, #mujoco , a #simulator I've been watching for a long time now, is now #free thanks to #google 's #deepmind ! https://deepmind.com/blog/announcements/.. It's an awesome simulator that I'm *really* looking forward to using: https://www.mujoco.org/ I remember many years ago #emailing #emotodrov of #roboti - he was very quick to reply and very #accommodating https://www.roboti.us/ Best of luck to him and his future endeavours!
Very interesting idea to have a #free to #browse #website / #webpage in an 0800 like system, where the #server pays the #internet #charge instead of the #user https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/09/x-no-da.. The idea is that #essential #services such as #government websites can be accessed even if you have no #internet #data on your #mobile #phone . I really like this thinking, especially as more and more services move online.
Nice, my goto #searchengine is #carbon #negative https://spreadprivacy.com/duckduckgo-goe.. As well as #duckduckgo also being #free and great, it's also #secure and #private ! Great stuff!
Apparently #germany will now stop #free #covid #tests https://www.reuters.com/business/healthc.. They now believe that things will go back to normal now that #vaccinations have been rolled out. I guess they looked at the #uk and could finally see a way out of the #pandemic !
