So the HN post did work and you’re going back to a platform that treated you badly? If I were you, I’d copy what needs to be copied from there and close all accounts. Encouraging “customer support only through social media outrage” is not a

Don’t use Digital Ocean for anything, not just production. Your account may be locked up and customer service will keep sending boilerplate responses. There is no way I know of to contact a human and find out why the account is locked and w

This is old news. When this change happened, there was a lot of outrage and anecdotally many people started using Telegram and Signal. But my guess is that at least some of the people who switched went right back because of network effects

Leave it to Signal to keep things hidden for long periods of time (like the server code while it was building some cryptocurrency). Seriously, Signal is not an open or transparent organization by any measure. Ironically, it’s an authoritari

A very late reply. I have been using NextDNS for a long time, but it doesn't block the video ads on YouTube that come up while watching a video.

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply and clarification. I agree with the sentiments in the other sibling comments. At this point, this tool is not for me.

I’m a bit confused with the Pricing page. Does the Chrome extension limit of 30 minutes per month in the free plan mean that completely local use on one’s computer is restricted by time? How is this tracked?

Restic doesn’t have a GUI for backup/restore configuration and actions (yet), but I found that Borg has a GUI called Vorta [1] for macOS and Linux. This was mentioned on a HN comment several days ago by @crossroadsguy here. [2] [1]: h

I appreciate sites like this. I see that it allows custom aliases and a choice of a few domain names (though most of them seem to be .xyz). There are many systems that won’t accept domains outside the larger and well known TLDs. So that cou

It’s not clear which iPhone/iOS version you’re using and where you’re looking to block YouTube ads, whether it’s on a browser or in the YouTube app. Magic Lasso is an app that blocks YouTube ads on Safari, but it’s a paid subscription.
