Playit - https://playit.gg Eugene, Oregon. REMOTE okay. Oregon USA only.

Looking to hire our first full time engineer besides myself. High impact role, over 100k monthly active users. Cash flow positive.

We run a global network to help people host game servers at home. Most of our backend is in Rust with Postgres DB, website is React SPA in typescript.

Engineering work touches many areas: * low level AF-XDP networking * state synchronization across 20 datacenters * custom ddos mitigation logic * product feature development * front end website dev * front end TUI dev * reliability monitoring and alerting * so much, think creating cloudflare from scratch with focus on gaming and you’re not far off

Have you found a way to detect xworm c2c servers?

I run playit.gg. Abuse is a big problem on our free tier. I’d get https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei setup to scan your online endpoints and autoban detections of c2 servers.

IMO bad take. We want quality journalism to be sustainable, having AI launder stolen content and make it free with ads is not better.

Provided a fake ID when trying to verify identity. Wasted my time, be cautious.

So he received the checks and mailed them to his bank but they were intercepted in the second leg and cashed out. Sounds like the fault is with the banks that cashed out the checks without adequate verification.

Highly recommend clickhouse. You can set the partition key to be based on date and delete old data in chunks. Makes life really easy. Also found it much more performant than timescaledb out of the box. Not sure about hosted options but can imagine that translates to better performance for the dollar.

Computers outside of the US sure, but the latest chips used for AI training have export controls so not so much.

I think this is about preventing sanctioned countries or individuals using US technology we don't want them to have access too (like China not having modern GPUs). That goal seems reasonable though there's always a fear that the law is way broader than the high level intent. Why would it be "an absolute nightmare" if it's so easy to migrate?

I read the document a bit, it seems like this is essentially saying that services like AWS need to know the identity of their customer if they suspect they are a foreign entity.

I don't think this would cover VPNs or internet access, mainly just people spending lots of $$ on compute. Is that correct? If so it seems reasonable. If a non US group is spending lots of money using US technology to develop an AI model I do think that falls under foreign trade and should be documented.

756 MW is the peak power rate, not accumulated amount of power that will be generated per year.

Sounds like a smart way to build a high quality dataset of captioned ASL videos while also providing a great service. Guessing in 2 years they’ll have a decent ML model.
