While planning a little gift for a friend, I came across «рентгениздат» (seemingly more commonly "roentgenizdat" on the English internet rather than the expected "rentgenizdat" transliteration)—essentially homemade/

Thank you, really! Maybe I am just in a weird mood, but that made my day, as strange as it might sound. I don't think people, in general, are anywhere near as vocal and explicit about the things they appreciate compared to the things t

Oh, interesting, cool! I appreciate the advice -- I am definitely not making use of all of the features. And thanks for the software! I've been using it on all of my non-Apple devices for a while now. And my mom has been using it on th

It's a little under $0.12 per kWh here. I haven't gotten around to putting up a meter on it since fully completing it, but in the past, with a bit over half the drives + all of the ram and everything else, it was peaking a bit ove

It'll depend on where you live and what your goals are. If you have free-time to tinker and enjoy that kind of thing, you can build something very fast and reliable and prevent e-waste by building your own storage server with used part

In addition to QUIC, KCP [1] is another reliable low-latency protocol that sits on top of UDP that might be interesting. And unlike RFC 9000/9001 (QUIC), encryption is optional. I haven't really seen it mentioned much outside of p

I haven’t seen much info regarding their setup, aside from the bits about Pants and Bazel. Are those actually the upstream repositories, though? And is it known how they interact with them? Google has Copybara [1], which allows portions of

I'm not in the yearly upgrade cycle, but I do tend to replace mine every few years. In terms of speed, ever since the OnePlus One I bought back in like ~2014, I can't think of a time I have been unhappy with the raw performance of

This'll be long-winded excitement to talk about the weird little community, but I think a lot of that depends on the circles you run in and the content you consume. There is surely a lot of low-effort GUI handbrake encodes online. But

Not sure quite what the rules are in other countries and other states, but to properly graduate high school in Florida with all the right credits to go to university, you need to take a foreign language. This would typically be Spanish. But

Good points! As an example, as a hobby, I am interested in things like anime video compression and such. Two of the most essential sites for me in terms of resources and information have been almost entirely Chinese. And while they apprecia

I don’t hate GitLab, and I do appreciate the open-core aspect of it and the competition. However, despite its popularity for businesses, I think GitHub, for better or for worse, is unquestionably the best choice in terms of reaching people

While many on HN likely consider it pretty gauche, to say the least, to be racist towards certain minority groups whose struggles Americans tend to have more awareness of, I do still see the subtle—and not-so-subtle—racism and prejudice reg

Do they not also ever request blocks on particular IP addresses? A lot of collateral damage happened due to blocking whole ranges from AWS and such when Russia was trying to ban Telegram.

I disagree about it being “not much better”; with Blu-ray, even without SGX, you can still rely on software like AnyDVD, MakeMKV, DVDFab, etc., to clone and decrypt the media. It’s “easy” for general consumers with $50 to burn on an LG WH14

But the same concept of “basically an adult” does not apply to other things, generally. For example, places without Romeo and Juliet laws punish couples where one is barely adult for sleeping with someone who is nearly an adult. Young coupl

Incel terminology is so horrible to try and explain. But yeah, for anyone confused, basically any word can be affixed with -cel (from celibate) and it “works” — e.g., numbercel, wordcel, gymcel, heightcel, narutocel, ycombinatorcel, etc. Ty

I’m surprised I haven’t seen this linked yet, but Bryan Cantrill of dtrace, Sun, lawnmower, Joyent, etc, fame gave an amazing talk for Monktoberfest 2016, titled “Oral Tradition in Software Engineering”, which features The Story of Mel [1].

Woke propaganda? I haven’t seen an absolute ton of anime, but I’ve got nearly 200 items on my list, and I don’t think I’ve watched anything that could qualify. What are you coming across that I’m not?

Not to totally dismiss any concerns, but most IRC servers support TLS. While not end-to-end in the sense that the server can read all of the messages, encryption is available. And in the case of IRC, with the most common use case being chan

Not to sound like the usual evangelist, and I am sure everyone has already thought of these points, but regarding RAID-10, is that the best call? My thought process is that the majority of modern hardware/software RAID solutions don’t

Yeah, I've come across your tool a few times before and seen the default lists. Really useful stuff, by the way! Interesting, though. I had heard talks about introducing proper government-level filtering -- I think after the Telegram&#

I'm unsure which angle you're coming from with your comment, and I don't mean to assume, but I wouldn't blame the parents. And certainly, I don't think it is reasonable to expect a seven-year-old to understand the r

For what it’s worth as well, there are other solutions than whole-network VPNs and such. Personally, I chose to generate a domain list for V2Ray from the Russian government’s blocklist when I lived there [1]. I prefer to do that typically b

I really shouldn’t have clicked the article, honestly. I have become so desensitized to everything on the internet at this point, but something about parents always makes my heart ache so baddddd. I totally struggle to not to insert my own

I don’t know, there’s a ton of horrific bullying every time I stumble upon the site. I think you’re downplaying it. And loads of less-than-legal activities, like sharing videos of former porn actresses purely because they’ve tried to scrub

Totally agree. But while I know mpv’s default setup is not quite what most people would like, where it truly shines is also configurability. Out of the box, the picture quality is already better than basically any one-click install other th

Proper Chrome Chrome on Linux also has Widevine L3, so the same bad situation as Chrome on Windows and macOS. And yes, if you’re not also using Netflix a ton on your TV or something, you were likely overpaying :( DRM sucks.

Kiwifarms, I would assume. You’ll see why if you check out their Wikipedia article.
