Nice, I'm surprised it took this long! My first experience of playing Quake 1 in my home was an unauthorized source port which ran in System 7, I believe was called "HackQuake", ported from stolen source code from CrackDotCo

Looks pretty cool, though kinda "cheating" by pulling from adsb.fi - though I think you'd need something a lot more powerful than an ESP32 to receive and decode ADS-B ;)

Try using Firefox with "resist fingerprinting" enabled, on OpenBSD, if you want an idea of how insidious Cloudflare's increasing prevalence is for the openness of the web. Inexplicable 403 responses for entire domains for no

There's also APsystems EZ1, not sure when that was released, but seemingly recently: https://usa.apsystems.com/ez1-consumers/

Nice. The only opening line I remember offhand is from Neuromancer (which I'm glad to see is included in the site!) "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel."

Amazon URL contains "tag=aphackernews-20" query param after following the shortened URL... does Hacker News rewrite Amazon links to include a Hacker News referral tag?! Here's the URL without all the extraneous stuff added

Just used it the other day while I was back-country hiking. Set some markers for some landmarks and calculated hiking distance/duration between them. CoMaps is awesome! It's also the reason I contributed to OpenStreetMaps for t

Right, that was a rhetorical question, highlighting the fact that such an occurrence is even possible, to such a degree of incidence that I know multiple people who have experienced it. Meanwhile, never once heard an anecdote about a MacOS

Coincidentally just had this realization last night. Leaned a piece of furniture against the wall, realized the ~perfectly straight/level edge didn't lean smoothly against the wall -- the wall is not perfectly straight!! :-O

Completely agreed. Even for people who are like "I have nothing to hide", the only people who think this way are simply unaware of just how much harm can come to them without the protection of privacy (and laws that ensure this).

Whoa nice, that's nuts. Curious what country if you don't mind sharing! No worries if not

"macOS" (or however they spell it now) is pretty bad, but I'm not sure it's possible Apple could ever possibly produce an OS as bad as Windows 11 lol, it's really surprising to me to see someone suggest it's so

I wonder if that's why there is such a good selection of 128gb M5 MBP's on the Apple Certified Refurbished store lol https://www.apple.com/ca/shop/refurbished/mac/macbook-pro-12...

Nice. Submitted a few sites to bolster the "small hand-made personal sites" quotient a bit (all made by Canadian ppl fwiw) :)

Depends which CPU module you get, but yeah it's not nearly as powerful as the new Steam Machine, surely. I mean, it's a step in the right direction and you can see people are playing many recent-ish (or lower-GPU-intensity) games

Yeah, it's crazy, I haven't had a transmissible illness since 2020. It has been pretty awesome for sure.

As someone who still masks (KN95) in all indoor settings where unmasked people are present, I am all for this. Very much looking forward to seeing where it leads.

So awesome. If I needed/wanted a gaming PC or "family TV" gaming machine, I'd snag this for sure. I've had the Steam Deck since launch and it's really quite well-executed and I've logged hundreds of hour

Oh what the heck? That's super cool! Awesome idea. Possible future enhancement: some basic day/night (or even weather?) design elements that match the timezone of the person whose site it is? Still, doesn't even need it,

Hell yeah, I still see it as the optimal arena FPS. The sequels add too much IMO. Quake 1 (QuakeWorld) was such a raw competitive arena shooter that is just pure action, no weird extra mechanics. Pick up items, get some health, shoot peo
