If I could rig my browser to pay 1 cent for every newspaper article I read, I would happily do so. The biggest issue with paying for news is that you are reduced to a small handful of sources. I would like to read a couple of articles from

If the first request is plaintext, the request can be intercepted before you ever get the redirect, inserting a trojanised login page instead.

Neopaint for DOS. The rest are freeware I think, but I also made heavy use of: POVRay POVCAD Fractint

No, people switching in droves in Ireland. Also, you don't need a garage, just a small driveway. Throw in a few solar panels and you have a low tax, low tco car or second car.

25 years of IT industry experience, no idea what this actually is.

Worked quite well! I would say it's usable by savvy people today. However the delay and turn-based interaction would preclude my parents from using it successfully. Nice work though!

They are absolutely everywhere in Ireland, from countryside to city centre, rich and poor areas.

Yep sounds weird. Not my experience of hackerspaces.

Right, because only bad people ever end up in prison...

Yep, it's time to give up on Google... Both the search engine and the company. Kagi Fastmail Rsync.net These are worth paying for.

Don't forget that if you live in a cooler climate, server heat can offset heating bills if you host at home.

I got a recursive ticket in Ireland in 2019... check with your local hackerspace or security meetup.

If this goes through then I will move from Android to IPhone as a result.

I have a hard time believing GPT4 would come out with anything that bad, which really makes me wonder which model they used... Edit: answer is in the article, kind of...: "In this case, the content was generated through a combination o

I dunno, remains to be proven, but if you managed a commercial python code base and could get a 2x performance improvement across the board by switching interpreters, wouldn't you at least give it a shot?

In my case I use a small gadget to convert the pulses to DTMF tones, which feed into a voip connection. The point is that the device itself still works, unlike much iot crap which can't be made to work once the server goes down.

This is also a key point to fighting ewaste and making devices last longer. I have appliances from the 70s including a rotary telephone, that I still use regularly. If you combined mandatory OSS support with repair cafes, you would have a m

I remember that time, it was the only time in my life I was ever concerned enough to call into Ireland's most popular radio show "Joe Duffy", to raise my concerns about the rollout... They described me on air as a "compu

I fly with them regularly, don't find them especially unreliable. Don't know why there is so much enmity for RyanAir on HN, would have thought they exemplified the "disruption" mentality of the SV crowd ;-)

Of course it is about the feelings of the general population! The feelings of the general population decide whether you have a stable democracy or a revolution on your hands. There are no objective laws of physics when it comes to organizin

As a Software Engineer with decades of experience working with PKI/cryptography/infosec, I believe that online voting is a fundamentally bad idea. It stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of the requirements of an election. Th

Ireland is not some PO box tax haven, despite what folks like to say on HN... ;-) We have significant pharma and agri-business, plus we make microchips (see Intel, Pfizer etc...)

For those whom are curious, a lot of infosec people are now on infosec.exchange .

Gitea is an amazing project... I tried self hosting gitlab years ago and quickly realised it was flake city... Gitea was up and running in minutes. Bonus points for being written in Golang and deployed as a single binary ... F'ing love
