   I read somewhere that Squarespace is already a reseller of Workspace, so the new accounts they acquire will likely slot into whatever current mechanism exists for managing and supporting these customers. Apparently the Google Domains UI is

   This mirrors my exact experience with the NHS – the futile 8am phone calls, to relying on NHS 111 for any hope at getting medical attention. Coming from Australia and previously NZ, the healthcare system here seems barbaric.

   Excellent sleuthing! I sometimes use Proxyman to sniff the traffic that my phone or computer is using – it's fascinating seeing what and how different apps communicate with their backend servers. I haven't come across anything qui

   Google App Engine came out in 2008, several years before AWS Lambda. I'd also argue the developer experience (especially for its time) was pretty fantastic. If you're wanting 'serverless' compute these days you'd pr

   Just upgraded my Debian WSL distro and the experience couldn't have been more anti-climatic – I had to double-check lsb_release to make sure I'd actually upgraded, it was that seamless.

   The pinout design is nice, but I'm almost more impressed by the favicon – its very clever and looks great (I noticed it when bookmarking the site).

    Thanks for sharing these. I wasn't expecting an Air NZ plane when I clicked on the links – my father (a pilot) flew that exact plane when he was rated on the 777 over 15-years ago.

    This made me look to see if I could find the original Angry Birds in my App Store purchase history. It's there, but its been renamed "AB Classic" – I couldn't find it by searching, so I had to scroll a loooong way down t

    Fun fact: Hacker News itself is structured predominantly with tables. Every comment/thread creates a new table nested within the context of its parent's table. It's tables all the way down.

    The 2230 M.2 drives really are quite uncommon. I ended up purchasing a second-hand Samsung PM991 256GB drive off eBay for £27 when I upgraded my Steam Deck. I'm not hugely impressed with the price, but I certainly appreciate Framework

    I recorded a similar flight pattern[1] above London not too long ago by the RAF's Shadow R1 Beechcraft plane[2]. I figured it was some sort of training flight as they were circling above Northholt air force base (just north of Heathrow

    Note this article is from 2018, the title should probably be updated. Amazon apparently sold 65 million[1] Echo devices in 2021, so evidently there's a good chunk of people who either don't know or seem to care about the concerns

    As an early fan of Google's Cloud Build service I was overly enthusiastic when I discovered `cloud.build` was available and quickly set about registering it. After a few years of paying the £500+ annual renewal due to its Premium domai

    You could achieve a similar setup with the Steam Deck by using a Bluetooth controller, either propped up as you do the Switch or plugged into a screen via its HDMI port.

    My memories of this are also from playing it on the original PlayStation. When I saw the article headline I immediately heard the "Ridge Raaacer" voice in my head, it's been 20 years and I still remember it clearly.

    This isn’t entirely accurate, Tailscale works just fine in userspace networking mode[0]. It’s a bit of a faff to setup, but it works. [0] https://tailscale.com/kb/1112/userspace-networking/

    I place greater trust in organisations that are proactive about their security posture, versus an organisation where this type of vulnerability would never have been publicly disclosed.

    This is a good reason and exactly what I get out of using Tailscale.

    This is neat. I don’t use Caddy, but I wondered if something like this would be possible with Traefik. It looks like the Tailscale folks specifically released a Go module[0] that allows Caddy to interface with their certificate provisoning

    My parents live relatively close to Kim’s mansion in Auckland and every now and then I’d see his car driving around (instantly recognisable with his “KIM.COM” personalised number plate). New Zealand, at least back then, wasn’t known for fas
