I have a similar story, but in our case it was a rental house in the Bay Area. It's been 3 years and who knows how many temporary places to live, and we're still not even close to recovery.

We ended up with the realization that the rental housing stock in the Bay Area are all very old, usually not well maintained and depending on the area, very likely to have or have had water damage, the only thing we could do to get into newly built housing, was to rent an apartment.

The amount of bad information and advise is pretty staggering – if you're adversely reacting to the environment you're in, the best thing you can do is remove yourself from it, then accept that you may never be able to return to it.

Anyway, this all sounds very familiar and you're welcome to reach out to me at <hn-name>@icloud.com – and that goes for anyone else dealing with similar stuff.

What you two are describing may be the addition of Robusta commonly found in Italian espresso blends and more. It's what gives those blends that bitter kick. If that's what you're after, try seeking out blends with 5-10% Robusta.

Because I'm sure more than one person is wondering, the literal translation of "rødgrød med fløde" is "red porridge with heavy cream", not an insult but a traditional danish dessert.

Edit: missed an s in dessert.

Obviously this can be used in a malicious manner, but is that not a problem of ui and not "let's not have the browser talk to Bluetooth devices at"?

Allowing every site access to quietly scan for devices would be pretty horrible, but that's not the case from my understanding.

Sorry for your loss. I lack the words to describe the level of empathy I feel when I read your story. Happy to hear you managed to bounce back.

Any advice for people going though a very tough time you'd like to share?

We tried using X.509 certificates in Denmark for proving your identity to the state.

It was a complete nightmare unless you understood what public key crypto is, how it works, and how to configure your browser for it.

Don't get me started about having to move your certificate/keys around.

It doesn't work for the masses.

> We cannot use the Linux kernel's built in crypto api because it is only exported to GPL-licensed modules.

What a strange choice by the Linux kernel.

Sums it up pretty good.

> You raise a good point about (even in the bad case) moving headphones around the signal chain---and damn as an (especially functional) programmer I'd like that to be able to tap arbitrary locations in data flow like that. Enough all these control-flow-based debugging tools!

You should look into dtrace and it's new Linux counterpart who's name currently alludes me. It's almost like being able to do just that.

How do you tie things together and handle cross cloud failover?

I started out using fbsd back when 4.4 was a thing, and the performance was much better than anything GNU/Linux could do, for running Apache.

Back then fbsd had something called accept filters, which basically made the accept call only return when a http request was received in the network buffers.

Systems running fbsd loaded up different than Linux, kept being responsive. On same hardware, could do 3-5x more rps with lower load iirc.

As my applications at the time became more cpu bound, I switched to Debian around 4.11.

I've recently been using 10.x, coming back to fbsd from 10 years of Debian. I love what you've done while I was gone. Especially binary packages and easy upgrades, but especially jails and zfs.
