I brought my trailer out there but it was vandalized. There's a small existing cement foundation where a building used to be (which is common for the parcels out there). I started basic work on some outbuildings using dry stone masonry

I've got a 5 acre parcel in that area as well, wonder valley. I've talked to at least one other HN user who lives out there too. Perfect time of year to be out there, it's like beach weather.

Basically, we host a collection of honeypot websites, which resemble login pages for a normal website. Our users create 'bait credentials' (username/password) for these honeypot websites. The users then hide these bait creden

I'm working on a honeypot service that lets people create canary credentials to detect eavesdropping. One of the fringe use cases is to see if someone has intercepted your mail or packages. I'm not sure if that's a use case a

very cool. I'm going to get my application submitted this weekend. I'm looking forward to learning more about the first cohort. My original guess was that you'd select ~10-20 people.

I'm really curious how many people win each pioneer round. I haven't been able to find that information. That's actually the only thing keeping me from participating again (I did the first one and I enjoyed it). Also your ter

Yeah a lot of people are clueless about coyotes. I have some land in the desert and one of my neighbors actually feeds the damn things, it's insanity. He Also tried to claim that coyotes don't carry rabies. Needless to say he does

I keep a dictionary and thesaurus. They're actually pretty useful when you need to think of names for projects. I personally haven't found an electronic dictionary that lets you 'browse' as well as a physical one, but if

Yeah I totally understand. I need as much constructive criticism as I can get. If I can find product/market fit for this project I'll take it as far as I can, and if not I'll pivot or move on to the next one, I don't get

That's a really solid list, thanks. Next time I do a weekend hackathon I want to create something that helps people like us share OPML files. All the RSS directories I've tried have been pretty subpar. The feedly directory is good

Yeah I've thought about that, I am thinking about adding a fake contact email and a fake contact phone number, maybe a fake 'about' page. I actually got the fake sites by registering old expired domains that had real, similar

I hope you do build one. The majority of the top newspapers still do offer RSS (as I'm sure you know) - there's still time to revive it IMO.

My first thought was that you were going to let users record/submit their own audio book recordings. Does anything like that exist? If so, someone link it up. I've had good luck listening to some amateur audio book recordings on y
