This is awesome. A lot of the comments here suggest that some of the functionality can be replaced by extensions like vimium-ff [1]. If you only compare the list of features then maybe. If you try using the extensions, you immediately notic

I definitely agree. One thing to note about Kinesis Advantage 2 is that it is really massive compared to other keyboards. I didn't realize before getting one for myself and seeing it on my desk. Second thing is that quite frankly at th

> This is a core feature of every ad platform I've seen and is absolutely not a violation of the GPDR. I agree with you on this part. It is not a violation of GDPR on the ad platform side since you, as the data controller, are respo

I wouldn't say that I am great at stats either, but AFAIK this is mostly because of super high tail-latencies (usually the 99th percentile, commonly caused by garbage collection or cache misses) or because the latencies have multimodal

Nice summary, thanks. Do you think, that there is a chance to get Google Hangouts running with microG? It's required by my current employer unfortunately.

I was having the same issue. If you are fine with something more homegrown you can use gplaycli[1] to download the apks directly from Google Play. I use it in combination with rsync, but it should be possible, at least in theory, to host yo

Turning off JavaScript usually works well and does not break as much mobile sites as it does with desktop versions. The difference for me is 70-80% less data, but I usually browse mainly text content with relatively small amount of images.

Looks much better than Hetzner. What caught my eye is, if you scroll down long enough on dedicated servers page [1], you will eventually see GaaS - "Geek As A Service". This made me giggle far more than I am wiling to admit :) [1]

I think that this is pretty much what IPFS [1] (and others I cannot remember right now) does. If I remember correctly, it builds on some of the BitTorrent ideas, but does not implement whole BitTorrent protocol. It might be interesting to i

I am glad to see this on front page of HN! Of course I use it mainly for additional web browser sandboxing, but it has some useful "side-features" that are really convenient - namely overlayfs/overlaytmpfs. This is great when

This is pretty much what Firejail [1] does (except the page trust level) and using it is fairly straight forward. I had some issues running separate X server though (as far as I know, this is still more or less experimental feature). [1]:

There is even timing server side attack exploiting "curl |bash" recently posted on HN [1]. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11532599

Oddly, the google seems to be working much better for me if I use whole sentences (How to..., Where can I...). This is really annoying. I am using DucDuckGo as there is currently no better alternative. It is not great, but it serves its pur

Hi, I just did a short test and it looks really promising. It has also an android app! This is really the selling point for me :) BUT I really do not believe that this is the way a rpm package should look like. I know that it is not easy, e

From the whois: both domains are registered in China, but engiy.com seems to be located in Shanghai. Not that it makes much of a difference.
