Generated from TLDR This:
Where is the heart of the technology industry?
The simple answer is “Silicon Valley,” a term that now generally means the San Francisco-San Jose-Oakland area of California.
The Exchange explores startups, markets and money.
To answer that question, we have to understand how Silicon Valley compares to the larger United States venture capital and startup market; if Silicon Valley is truly losing its dominance domestically, it certainly cannot claim an international title.
https://t.co/5UabCGkHqb — Chamath Palihapitiya (@chamath) September 26, 2022 In time, I do anticipate that a more global tech industry will dilute Silicon Valley’s former hegemony as the spawning point for what’s next, and it will become more figurehead than anything else.

A user asked me the below.
Hey, did you use any guides for setting up your pie hole and/or installing the button?
Was interested in making one of these as well.
Any tips or w/e would be appreciated, thanks!
This was my response. which is probably definitely rslurred but w/e
!codecels roast me
No Guides, but happy to give tips, and follow ups where things are unclear.
Button is pretty cool for sure... but you can do everything you need to do from your computer and phone.
A pihole does not protect you unless you set it up as your DNS on your router.
I would also recommend setting up a vpn to your home network using openvpn that way you can take your protection on the go, itll protect you from getting throttled by your cell phone provider too
Parts
-
Get a raspberry pi (here is fine https://www.raspberrypi.com/)
-
- get a case/fan if you are so inclined but I would consider it extra
-
- will come with an sd card and an sd card reader
-
- should come with a power cord
-
Breadboard https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNH7LYH3
-
resistor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GQFVSXK
Config Pi
-
Download the Raspberry Pi Imager from here https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/
-
Install pi lite on the SD card
-
- During Install configure the thing for wifi and ssh
-
- Set up a user for yourself on there and a password
-
Put the SD card into the Pi (contacts towards the board)
-
Start up the Pi and ssh into it
-
Install Pihole (follow these instructions https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/#one-step-automated-install)
Code
-
Look its probably right... but how you set this thing up makes a difference
-
Put this on your Pi maybe call it buttonscript.js
-
{YOUR USER HERE} needs to be swapped out for the user you created
const fs = require('fs');
const Gpio = require('onoff').Gpio;
const { exec } = require('child_process');
// GPIO pin number
const buttonPin = 17;
const logFilePath = '/home/{YOUR USER HERE}/buttonscript.log';
// Setup the button GPIO as input
const button = new Gpio(buttonPin, 'in', 'falling', { debounceTimeout: 200 });
// Function to disable Pi-hole blocking for 5 minutes
function disablePiHole() {
const timestamp = new Date().toISOString();
const logMessage = [${timestamp}] Button pressed. Disabling Pi-hole for 5 minutes...;
console.log(logMessage);
fs.appendFile(logFilePath, logMessage + '\n', (err) => {
if (err) {
console.error('Error writing to log file:', err);
}
});
exec('pihole disable 5m');
}
// Add event listener to the button
button.watch(disablePiHole);
// Cleanup GPIO on process exit
process.on('SIGINT', () => {
button.unexport();
process.exit();
});
Service
-
This thing needs to start back up when power fails so you need to set it up to do that
-
go here
cd /etc/systemd/system/ -
run this to create it
sudo nano buttonscript.service
[Unit]
Description=Button Script
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /home/{YOUR USER HERE}/buttonScript.js > /home/{YOUR USER HERE}/buttonscript.log 2>&1
WorkingDirectory=/home/{YOUR USER HERE}/
Restart=always
User={YOUR USER HERE}
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
-
save and exit nano
-
run this
sudo systemctl enable buttonscript.service -
run this
sudo systemctl start buttonscript.service
Circuit
-
find your pinout, I am showing a 4b there are others
-
3.3 to a rail on the + side of the breadboard at the top using these wires https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EV70C78
-
in that top rail, put the resistor in
-
resistor to the left hand side on maybe the top row of the breadboard
-
gpio 17 to left side on that row using these wires https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EV70C78
-
button to left side on that row use the breadboard wires there
-
other terminal on the button to the right side of the breadboard
-
ground to right side on that row using these wires https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EV70C78
Package to suit, and your done

Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?
