New top story on Hacker News: Tell HN: The Internet situation inside Iran – We need your help

<a href="">Tell HN: The Internet situation inside Iran – We need your help</a> 
41 by throwaway124592 | <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33025954">8 comments</a> on Hacker News. 
As you probably have heard, there have been widespread protests going on inside Iran for the past week or so following the death of Mahsa Amini at the hands of the morality police. Following the protests, the government has cut off or severely limited residential and especially mobile broadband access to the internet and people can only access websites and services hosted inside Iran. This has made connecting to VPNs with servers outside Iran, and Tor close to impossible. That being said, the servers inside Iranian data centers still have access to the outside world. The government has also blocked Instagram and WhatsApp (the main channels of communication used by people inside Iran), and alternatives such as Telegram, Signal, etc are also blocked, halting communications to a crawl. People have to either call each other via GSM or send SMSs (which by the way is being monitored and messages containing keywords related to the protests don't even get delivered). As you can imagine, it's preventing people from coordinating the protests and strikes, and with the sattelite TVs being also heavily jammed, the only source of information accessible to most people is the government-led local TV channels which are distributing regime propaganda 24/7 and trying to scare people into submission. We (a group of tech people inside Iran) have started using the servers inside Iranian data centers gain access to the Internet, and are setting up VPN servers and Tor bridges and giving the information to people we know. It's not scalable, and it's risky for us (the servers inside Iran can be traced back to us), but that's the only way we could think of to help. The technical details are published here: https://ift.tt/SOkL8og We need help on multiple fronts: - Please review and contribute to our repository on GitHub linked above. We need to improve the security and make deployment easier. - The methods for setting up Tor bridges described in the repository were working up until 2 days ago, but have mostly stopped working and we haven't figured out why yet, maybe you can help? - We have reports that V2Ray VMess and ShadowSocks are working inside Iran even at times when most other tools and protocols don't. We haven't been able to reliably deploy and test this (there are many configuration options and it's not clear which methods are working). Please create an issue or send a PR if you know how it works and how to deploy it. - If you are an Iranian expat: Get a server inside Iran and set this up for your family and friends and get them back online. - If you are an entrepreneur or work at a tech startup inside Iran: Your company already has servers inside Iran. Talk with your team, set up VPN servers and Tor bridges and share them with other employees and ask them to help get their family and friends online. Edit: Formatting.

<a href="">Ask HN: Books on designing disk-optimized data structures?</a> 
10 by memset | <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32965075">9 comments</a> on Hacker News. 
Are there canonical books, resources, or readings for how to design data structures that will be primarily read and written to a disk rather than memory? Most of what I learned in school about big-O assumes that, for example, random access is O(1). However, random disk reads are really slow due to spacial locality. People who write databases obviously have solutions to this problem - for example, DuckDB is based on a number of papers that have come out over the years on this topic. If I wanted to design, ie, a tree structure which was intended to be read/written from a disk, are there general principles or patterns the have been developed to take advantage of locality of reference, minimize random reads, or decrease the overhead of writes, that I could familiarize myself with? What is the CLRS for disk?

6 by fsociety999 | <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32792825">2 comments</a> on Hacker News. 
I was reading this post on HN earlier today about how the White House may consider executive action or legislation to ban Bitcoin mining: https://ift.tt/NIK64Fz When reading the linked article and the White House press release (https://ift.tt/kzdqTr6), this particular section jumped out at me: > Should these measures prove ineffective at reducing impacts, the Administration should explore executive actions, and Congress might consider legislation, to limit or eliminate the use of high energy intensity consensus mechanisms for crypto-asset mining. I am curious if the U.S. government actually has that power. Would this be considered constitutional? I can understand issuing penalties or otherwise stepping in to regulate businesses, but considering Bitcoin is an open-source, community driven software project (and so are many other crypto projects), can the government enforce that the software has to be written a certain way? Would this be considered a violation of the First Amendment? I am sure in this specific case many people may agree with the intentions or believe that this change is not a problem, but the precedent to me is pretty scary. Imagine if in the future, rich and powerful people can lobby the government to limit or crush any open-source software they want if they feel like it poses a threat to an existing company or industry. Based on this article, it sounds like code is considered free speech: https://ift.tt/u43eBoU

<a href="">Ask HN: “lofi” File Share for personal, team usage</a>

The Team File Share. AKA “How is this still an unsolved problem?” In 2004, I worked at a bank, and our team had a “P:/“ drive. It was a networked file share (probably Windows Server), mounted on everyone’s computer. Turns out, several members of the team were meticulous organizers, and would even leave notes at top-level folders - an index & guidance on what to put there, how to name files, and so on. Loved it, and did my best to keep things tidy and easy to find. What’s great is the whole file structure was browsable in a Browser (eg visiting p://marketing/events/2022-09-05 - Lunch & Learn/ would show the Apache-style index page, containing html links to files in that directory. Sharing a file with a colleage was as simple as sending the URL. When we wanted to share files externally, we had an FTP fileshare you could drag files to, and the URL was also predictable (https://ift.tt/igxfvAK) I was brainstorming today, and was wondering, what’s a modern setup of the above? I’ve been experimenting with Dropbox & Google Drive with “fresh eyes”… so many frustrations, especially on iOS. It’s either you’re using their apps directly (annoying UI for both), or iOS File.app. But half the time, Dropbox isn’t “connected” (?) - in today’s case I had to update the Dropbox app & re-authenticate thru their app before the files were available in Files. It all seemed so silly of a disruption from such an essential tool of my file: my digital files! Are there any “so simple, it feels like we are in a 2004 office” file share solutions? A few requirements (feel free to m suggest other (need/wants), in the comments)… - I can access my files on my computer (Finder, terminal) and phone (iOS, using Files.app) - Files are automatically backed up (hourly/daily/weekly) - I can read & write to files when there is no network service (eg while in NYC subway), and they’ll sync back up (SyncThing?) - Private files are secure. On a personal fileshare, I ought to be able to store health records, financial records, sensitive notes & files. The “me” stuff. The family drive would have kids health records and so on. (the first solution that came to mind is “encrypted, password protected disk image, hosted on a fileshare in a VPC, only accessible when logged into VPN; and then accessible thru iOS Files.app?) For Work, I ought to have “my drive” (eg example.com/~me/projects/, and “team drive”, also a private work area m (pay statements, notes from 1:1s / boss, etc) - Fileshare. I ought to be able to be able to drag a file over to pub-fileshare, and it’s accessible to anyone with the URL. Or protected-fileshare, where certain folders have passwords (or some other securing mechanism, since who wants to remember more passwords…? What’s the state of the art / tool stack of a “lofi” fileshare setup? Imagine you were setting this up for (1) yourself (2) a best friend (3) family (4) small work team What solution might actually last 10+ years?

New top story on Hacker News: MS Teams Linux client is being retired. To be replaced by a progressive web app

<a href="">MS Teams Linux client is being retired. To be replaced by a progressive web app</a>

(Updated) Important upcoming changes to Microsoft Teams desktop client on Linux Updated August 30, 2022: We are updating this message to indicate we will be retiring the Microsoft Teams desktop client on Linux in 90 days (early December). Please take action as appropriate for your organization. We hear from you that you want the full richness of Microsoft Teams features on Linux such as background effects, reactions, gallery view, etc. We found the best way to act on this is to offer a Teams progressive web app (PWA) on Linux as a new feature of our current web client, which we’ll make available to our Linux customers in the coming months. PWA enables us to ship the latest Teams features faster to our Linux customers and helps us bridge the gaps that existed between the Teams desktop client on Linux and Windows. The PWA experience will be available on both Edge and Chrome browsers on Linux. We will be retiring the Microsoft Teams desktop client on Linux in 90 days (early December), which is currently available in public preview. All users on the Microsoft Teams Linux desktop client will have to transition to the web or PWA version, which is where we will continue to invest our development resources. We are committed to helping all current customers on Linux start using the PWA app; we’ll publish guidance once we are closer to releasing this feature. Teams PWA is an evolution of our Linux web experience - it offers the “best of the web with key functionalities of client”: zero-install, lightweight, and has a rich set of features. For example, the PWA version supports features such as: Background blur and custom backgrounds Reactions and raise hand in meetings Large gallery and together mode PWA also provides desktop-like app features such as: System notifications for chat and channel Dock icon with respective controls Application auto-start Easy access to system app permissions When will this happen? We plan to make Microsoft Teams PWA on Linux generally available in the coming months. How will this affect me? If your users/administrators use the Microsoft Teams Linux desktop client, they either need to set up the Microsoft Teams PWA (when it is generally available) or use the Teams Linux web app to ensure business continuity. What do you need to do to prepare? To prepare, we recommend informing all your users about the upcoming changes, encouraging them to switch over to the PWA (when it is generally available) to get the latest features on Linux along with a desktop-like experience. Microsoft will publish a blog post about this change and how to install Teams as a PWA on Edge and Chrome once we are closer to making this feature generally available on Linux in the coming months.
