I agree with this! But they seem to have backed themselves into a corner where anything pro-business automatically has to be anti-privacy so they dont do it. I guess there must be some technical challenges to opening up Signal APIs to third

From my computer when going to x.com I get an http:// only site that has a blue background but has no content. If I try to go to https:// I get "Secure Connection Failed". My phone is showing the godaddy pa

This is pretty gutting as someone who lived in SF for a few years and drank quite a lot of Anchor Steam beer during that time. It's a shame to see such an iconic brewery closing down. I did a tour last year and loved the history and se

This is a really smart idea! If you can't kill the process, make it completely ineffective by making it's api calls fail.

Yeah I used to get it maybe 70% of the time in the first few seconds, and I just played it today and I have absolutely no idea what this song is. The main difference between Heardle and Wordle for me is that with Wordle you can sit there th

One thing they also broke was the ability to press the skip button whilst the song is playing, and have it carry on playing to the new skipped point without completely restarting. If I dont know it in the first 3 seconds, it's annoying

This pretty much summarises my experience, especially the fragmented days and the lack of short feedback cycles. As someone who TDDs as much as I can, the dopamine rush of seeing a piece of code go from nothing to complete is something I fo

This is exactly what I do! I just came back to a repo I haven't worked in for a couple of days, checked out my working branch, ran a `git stash pop`, ran the tests and there's a failing test case waiting for me to fix. Feels good

I used a small independent proxy company that I paid £50 a year annually through PayPal. I think they must've been small enough to fly under the radar of the detection algorithms. When I went onto google maps connected to the proxy, it

There was something called Kangaroo [1] which was a partnership between BBC, ITV and C4 but it got blocked by the competition commission. Now it's run under Britbox I think! [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kang

It annoys me that the only way to access iPlayer from abroad is via a VPN. Surely opening it up and allowing international customers to pay some form of license fee could be a nice little revenue stream for the BBC? I'm guessing the re

Yeah I went through the support channels, apparently it's the gas regulator inside that's different and it's not a part thats user changeable.

Yeah I've heard about the regional wifi laws to do with strengths etc. Annoyingly there is a disabled region dropdown in the web UI of the router, which has Europe listed as an option, I just cant change it. Ive tried undisabling in th

Oh and don't even get me started on trying to change regions on online accounts and the inconsistencies involved in doing so. Airbnb and Etsy, easy to change. PayPal and PlayStation online account, had to create a new account.

I went through a similar problem with an expensive wifi 6 cable modem router (Netgear Nighthawk CAX80). Spent too much money on it ($400 if I remember rightly) for better internet connectivity from xfinity. Worked well until I moved back to

Ohhh that makes sense! Meaning there's a way for a website to detect my zoom level? I wonder how? Checking calculated font size via JS or something? Ugh

I just tried to turn on `resistFingerprinting` in Firefox and it meant that my zoom preference for HN got reset every time I opened a new page (I have it set to 120% by default). Anyone know why? Bug?
140.
by domh 4y ago
I think it would have to have some code that tied those two fingerprints together... something like `fingerprint.identifyUser("jefc1111")` which would then store both of those fingerprints against your user id.

I really hope Apple allows sideloading sometime soon. As an Android user, viewing the huge list of requirements that need to be done in order to make this functional is ridiculous. The only other things keeping me on android - usb-c chargin

I recently replayed most of Pokemon Fire Red in RetroArch on my android phone (installed via f-droid). It worked surprisingly well! I only stopped because I bought a dedicated device to do so (Anbernic RG35XX, which is also fantastic). So i

Node.js + mongodb, definitely some not-so-performant pages with a few more db lookups than probably necessary. We also spun up a new Atlas cluster in the same region to rule out the cross data center latency.

That sounds great! Really hoping we can, we're still yet to find an alternative.

We really wanted to like Render, but the performance just wasn't there for us when doing a bunch of load testing against Heroku, which is a shame. Hoping they can make it better in the coming months/years cos we really liked the p

Thirding photoprism, got it hosted on a raspberry pi and made it accessible outside of my home via Tailscale. Seems to work fairly well... though I could probably make it faster with an SSD vs an HDD over USB.

Yeah this is my take too. I generally appreciate and support Mozilla, but this time I feel like they're on the wrong side. If I can use a webapp that persists a file to my filesystem, it means I can have a local backup without having t

This is really cool! Thanks for sharing. I've read a bit about these types of chips before, but ive never seen the one with the screen. Tempted to give this a try as a first foray into it.

I was actually thinking about this recently and came to the same conclusion. Postcodes are normally for 1 street only, so the house number + postcode are the only things required. Normally when giving my address I give the road name too, ju
