Well, for the second most popular thing on HN in the last 30 days, I'm sort of struggling to figure out what this is and why people love it. I opened it and clicked like 20 times, got some icons that do nothing, and came back here. I c

When I had a single ISP, I hated them for the downtime. I switched ISPs and also felt the same, for the same reason, of the new one. Now I have two ISPs, and because their respective occasional outages haven't overlapped, I'm gene

Your shortcut likely isn’t working. I tried it, but it didn’t reboot at the scheduled time. It briefly turned on to show a dialog asking for confirmation, but since it was unattended, no one approved it, so it never restarted. You can confi

I installed some guy's userscript to remove the For You tab all together and dump me straight into Following. It's way better, but it's still out of order, so you can't see what's new, only a random selection of wha

Jesse recruited me to run early vote and caucus locations in 2020. He was bright and a hard worker. It was my second time volunteering for a campaign, and the chaos and workload he describes are accurate. Campaigns are organized chaos—like

I asked it if Trump won, knowing he has, and it gave me SQL. I turned off dev mode and then it said I’d have to provide it with all the states he’d won.

When I changed my political party affiliation in my state, I noticed the option to withhold my address and phone number from the public voter rolls. After choosing this, I don't get door knocks or calls. (I think it was a separate form

This is likely a very naive question, but how did the spoofer know his IP was participating as an internal Tor node? From what vantage point can that be seen? I imagine internal Tor nodes must know to connect to each other, so it must propa

I had constant syncing problems between Infuse and Jellyfin previously. The first sync after clearing the cache would succeed, but all subsequent updates would fail with a nondescript error on the server. I managed to fix it by scanning for

I was the young "tech guy" inside the business development department at Earthlink in the mid 90s. The bizdev folks would propose ideas and I would think them through and realize there were technical issues, and when I shared my c

That seems less like an argument against public officials having enhanced scrutiny, and more an argument why they should have no scrutiny at all — because that’s the only defense against such a fanciful attack. That’s the logic that brough

I like piper. On my Mac, I have a one liner triggered by a mouse/trackpad gesture that copies any selected text, sanitizes it, pipes it to piper, which in turn pipes a raw audio stream into IINA, which I can pause or rewind. It also se

His take seemed faulty immediately after the keynote, and it seems sillier the more that's reported about the no cash OpenAI deal. OpenAI offered to Apple the same thing they offer to the public for free, chat with chatGPT 4o, in excha
