This is great! I’ve always wished for a replacement Spotify UI that’s entirely album focused.

We should not only stop building tech that aids authoritarianism but start building tech that fights it. Time for a cypherpunk revival.

Shameful. I cannot fathom how anyone in government or the police believes this (whatever they asked him, whatever they were told) is anywhere close to ok.

Certainly there are potential exploits if you rely on a 3rd party cloud or service to run the coordination service, though these might be more limited than on a VPN server. Yggdrasil, assuming nodes operate their own identify based firewall

You are no longer "zero trust" as you have to trust the VPN server to verify the identity of the nodes, because the traffic to your node is not encrypted to and from another node (there are two encrypted tunnels between each of yo

Tailscale describe zero trust networking more eloquently than I can, here: https://tailscale.com/kb/1123/zero-trust/ The gist being that you are no longer making unverifiable trust assumptions about the ident

It's zero trust networking , unlike the internet or a traditional VPN.

Amazon UK have many pages of lock picking sets, not at all oddly named, categorised under "DIY & Tools". The set I bought in 2019 is still on sale at the same listing. Hopefully this HN comment thread doesn't tip them off

The atoms don’t care but if someone else takes them, you don’t have them anymore. That is a different class of concept than so-called “intellectual property”.

People seem to like this about it, but I agree. Not feeling like the sport rewards better teams consistently, plus the fact that some matches are super dull, is at the core of why I just can't get interested in football (soccer).

The success of your business isn't my problem. The fact that you may have incentives to do bad things is just a reason society should make laws against you doing them, not a reason I should feel sorry for you and let you spy on me.

I agree opt in telemetry (with no dark patterns, nagging, etc.) is fine. We do this (even then, strictly for non personaly identifiable crash/error reporting only), and I would encourage everyone who isn't a friend/family o

This comment is at the heart of so much that is wrong with modern software: > Which features of our software are people using, and where do we need to concentrate the most with our limited resources and bandwidth to provide our users the

To paraphrase: hackers write code. We don’t do it because we’re paid for it[0]. If that’s your primary motivation maybe this is the wrong website. [0] sure, [too] many people are in tech primarily to make money, but it’s a bit sad.

Not a Bittrex user but this makes me genuinely glad not to live in the US.

I’d love a really good Nim web server option, too. Something lightweight but with enough to quickly build APIs, like FastAPI in Python or maybe Chi in Go. Even if the speed wouldn’t do it for many people over, say, FastAPI, the static typin

People who believe Binance is less likely to die than the market is pricing in, for one. Personally I’m not sure, I think the recent charges may not be a huge deal and I don’t think Binance is default dead. But market sentiment has a life o

The code in this post has a major bug. The data that’s hashed doesn’t include the hash from the previous block, so the chain can be tampered with by modifying only blocks n and n+1.

For info: there was some drama a while back [0], [1] and some (a lot?) of the community/devs went to https://forgejo.org/ Seemed to me like they had a point and it's worth considering following that project [2] in

It really is fantastic news. The more that pedestrians and cyclists dominate, the faster the shift from ugly, dirty roads to a pleasant human centred urban environment.

Information can’t be property. IP “rights” are a perverse legal fiction that have inflicted untold damage.

If SVB is acquired, the acquirer also takes on the liability to depositors (most likely all of it, but a haircut could be negotiated) so everyone should get everything back (unless a haircut is negotiated) and handling the shortfall is a co

Yes, but if a bank has to remind people of that, it may be a signal it has already lost.

For me, Debian (testing, at least) is already a more reliable, high quality desktop distro out of the box than any version of Ubuntu.

I agree. For me the journey has definitely been that learning about and working on things that interest me and I care about eventually presented the opportunity to have a shot at a viable business, rather than some innate desire to create a

I really dislike this article and fundamentally disagree. Sure, some engineers need to be looking at the problems people have or the products they're trying to buy or whatever, but that's not why I'm here. The goal, especia

Dishwashers in commercial kitchens are rapid, much less than 10 mins. I have always wondered why, exactly, we can't have that at home. A dishwasher so fast that it's done while you're still clearing up from dinner and you can

Mastodon hosts an interesting set of communities in its own right, and its growth is good, but it really doesn’t seem to be in any serious way a replacement for what makes (made?) Twitter great and important.
