Where does it end, fellow person? What is going to be the excuse/defense/workaround whenever Nitter instances are completely suffocated? Just suck it up and sign up so you can continue to participate on a increasingly hostile, tox

Hm, I don't know if Mullvad uses shielded VMs for their infra. I guess it would be neat, but I'm more talking about privacy-oriented generic-hosting providers that provided shielded VMs. Maybe it's just where my head is at, b

I don't even know if that's true, but I don't care. Twitter, at this point, is far more egregious than reddit, and I swore months ago I'd never contribute there. It blows my mind that people still play in Elon's pis

Do you know any similar hosts that attempt to provide shielded VMs?

That other HN thread is from 35 days ago, when this submission's blog post was written, and the very second line of content in the HN comments is "We had opensourced our server[1] yesterday, which is perhaps why we are on the fron

I feel like this comment awkwardly intermixes the problems of global shared-state package management (which Nix does not suffer from), and runtime isolation (which Flatpak/Portals are for). EDIT: I do think there's a lot of intere

There's always an slow excuse build up before the presentation of the folly. I rarely find it convincing. Not least of all, here. That it was Tim Ferris makes this almost feel like satire. :/ Android makes it pretty easy to comple

Well, the bigger question is, why is your employer using a 2FA mechanism that requires a phone?

(First, thanks for the hint. Looking into trusts in general has been on my todo list, but also) I guess I'll embrace the ignorance fully. What if I have a pile of money and no house, do I need a trust? What amount of money or (future)

Maybe I'm just really ignorant but I don't totally understand how to mitigate the "risk" (?) of home ownership? For a few hundred dollars a year? Does this just refer to home owner's insurance, or something more? I

Yeah, how dare people be upset when you wave capital in their face and say "stop being poor and then you can take advantage of your peers like I do. It's okay, its The System". Come on.

Well, for the example that started this subthread, it's not exactly as if I'm entering my address to swipe my card. I'm talking about online purchases. And I already addressed Apple, and I certainly don't trust Google. L

I'm not interested in giving more parties access to my financial data, certainly not an ad company. And I'm not about to buy an iPhone to use it. Also, merchant support for it is abysmal. But, appreciate the tip all the same.

How much do you estimate you make off of it? It feels like the intersection of marginals gains and a high level of attention you need to pay to sniff out good deals, not hurt your credit score, remember how to balance charges across cards.

Funny, because I would pay twice the CC fee for credit card transactions to be as painless as crypto. I'd rather scan a barcode and wait two minutes, compared to typing my address, handing over my phone number, confirming my zip, waiti

I feel like Sams Club has this down pretty well. You self-scan as you shop. You checkout as you walk towards the door. You flash a QR code to them and then they quick scan spot check items to make sure you weren't missing anything.

And here I was thinking "surely everyone's going to see the googel in the URL right". And then I remember that phishing is ... constantly successful. Sigh.

> Obviously it would help avoiding detection since the backdoor has the side effect of slowing down things. My understanding was that this was the result of a bug? But I understand that part less than any of it, so I well could be wrong.
