Asking general HN audience: Are you willing to do this? I don't travel often, but this looks like a good option to have... although I don't really do any finicky stuff with machines/phones/etc that I use regularly. if I

Interesting. I get anywhere from 75-200k requests a month and several thousand "unique" visitors. In either case, I show how you can easily scale up without having to worry about downtime.

What I mean by "commodity" is: Suppose you want privacy: You need to buy your way through to get it Suppose you want something for free: You need to sell your privacy for it Although your point is right; maybe "luxury" i

Another reason privacy is becoming a commodity. Eventually only the rich will be able to live a "private life" while everyone else can't afford it.

If you install Browserpass for Chrome (there's an alternate for Firefox as well) all you need to do is type in your keyboard command and it'll automatically fill out your info for you on the website. Meaning: Suppose you go to goo

In this case, Pass is probably not the right solution for you. It's a bit hard to setup keys and then share them over Git... which is most likely a bit too complicated. This being said, QtPass is a GUI for Pass, but not the best when c

I'd still much rather stick with https://www.passwordstore.org/ . It's encrypted with your keys (which I didn't see on Bitwarden's site) and has plugins for Chrome/Firefox (you can setup keyboard sho

Would recommend anyone else who's a fan to take this grain of salt as well. I take him superficially most of the time since clearly he has a bias against Apple.

Pretty sure a simple "dry run" is what you're looking for. Not sure what programs support it, but I know Docker for one does.

There isn't a 4 USB-C port version of the MBP w/ function keys. If there was, I'd definitely buy it. But recently Apple even slashed those... which is somewhat disappointing since after using the touch-bar here and there on o

Yikes. Yes. Not sure if other developers agree with me on this: I probably don't need autocompletion, I'm not writing an essay; I'm writing code where every character is a lot more impactful than forgetting a semicolon here o

Ghost also supports creating static sites, although I haven't gone that route. Hugo is a valid option though!

Also appreciate your comments on how fast it can load! I've been vehemently working on load times across all my websites for over a year now. Working on a blog post on how I could reduce load times and make it portable, scalable, and r

My bad! Made this post a while back and I used 10+ repl.it embedded editors. Although it does seem to load eventually, I should update it to use some better editor that loads faster!

Interesting. Maybe Apple's not to blame then! Time to wrap my dongles around in aluminum foil once again! Also side note: Louis Rossman is a super funny guy (biking around NY to find a better place is both hilarious and fun to watch)

Someone unrelated but I met Luc Vincent, an instrumental leader in developing Streetview. Although he's at Lyft L5 now, it's amazing to see how Google is able to expand to so many domains.

Use Ghost. It's self-hosted and gives all the functionality you need for beginners and advanced users alike. Running it on https://sdan.xyz/blog and it's fantastic. I get RSS/subscriptions ( https:/&#x2F

Although this seems great, use Ghost. The editing interface is unreal and the SEO/RSS/integrations are plentiful. You can customize it however you like, but there's some nice templates they have for free as well. I use it on

Did you get 100 on lighthouse? For some reason I'm getting 59 on performance on this post itself and 93 on the post he indicated (although everything is around 100 as well). Regardless, it's a great feat.

Use Ghost. It's amazing. Using it with Docker (writing a post how to do this super easily) and it works flawlessly. The editing interface is unreal. Just run it on any instance you can (DO has instances that are $5 a month, or any serv

Love the implementation. Can't help but think about another "startup" or project that uses Machine Learning to predict your bash commands... which in most if not all cases is probably not necessary XD.

Don't get me started on wireless interference (another one of petty problems that comes with a "Pro" machine) For some odd reason, when I use an adapter, the following happens: 1. The dongle (USB A to C or even a simple HDMI

Actually, not sure on DO's "relations" with VPNs. I've heard they're pretty strict on what you do since they're a somewhat small company that focuses on "droplets"/instances. Personally I'd

Can you elaborate? Not sure what an internal non-exit VPN nested chain is... although I some vague idea on what that may constitute to be.

They probably can as I've (hopefully) implied in my comment. When I sign up for AWS/GCP for a bit more credits for free, I use a burner phone (if necessary), burner emails (catchall emails), and a debit card (although GCP and AWS

What are the potential use cases?

Probably. Given that AWS/GCP can't trace back to me then maybe. But at the same time I'm afraid government surveillance is government surveillance and petty tactics around hiding your identity to AWS/GCP won't cut i

Not surprising given the heavy taxes on gas cars and the Model 3's accuracy on the luxury/price/features sweet spot.

Obviously you can do a block for *.onion. But suppose someone searches up "how to make a [insert bad thing]" or something else inappropriate on something as simple as Google. It'd be somewhat hard to block all urls from Googl
