I love this. They pay attention to everything I normally despise about (many) ebooks (poor layout, lack of metadata, no chapter headings etc).

FWIW I’m tentatively bullish on AI (for specific use cases) but I have never once… ever… ever … had a useful interaction with a customer service chatbot.

Regardless of the small print attempting to absolve the provider of any responsibility for anything (as such companies like to do) it does still sound like they have behaved unreasonably and made a bad situation worse by not being more co

This is great. Going to incorporate some of this in my global prompts.

> I wonder if the people who lamented the loss ever got hit with "I assume you fractionate your own petroleum". Those were the days. Nothing like that delicious smell of crude oil vapour as the fractionation column warms up…

Well yes, I think that’s very much the point of the article… This quote probably makes it a little bit clearer though if any doubt remains: > “We're angry. We're really, really fucking angry.”

The site in question seems unusable if you visit it on mobile (iPhone/Safari): https://jsfiddle.net It could at least show a “designed for desktop use only” message or something.

How are you finding Tuta compared to Proton?

1% was higher than I’d have guessed for transgender people. It turns out the figures are rounded in that graphic because the source article [0] (posted by another commenter) has it at 0.6% (which is likely rounded too). Interesting when you

I genuinely think the ugliness is a key factor in HN’s success. We need it to stay ugly and boring looking. Move along muggles. Nothing to see here. (I can appreciate this redesign concept though)

I’m reading this news with a glimmer of hope. A ceasefire of just 30 days seems like a good starting point, does not require any major concessions from either side and puts the ball in Russia’s court. Given the US backing of this proposal,

If you’re only a couple years off financial independence I’d consider quitting that job now and doing something that will make you happy! You’ll reach your goal either way, but you probably won’t regret it even if it takes a year or two lon

I want to be you when I grow up :-) (And I’m not that far behind!) I don’t ever want to stop learning and building interesting things with technology, and helping people use that technology for productive and useful outcomes. The thing I de

Interesting thanks for elaborating. I might need to take a closer look at OPNsense.

Yes, to me this is the only thing objectionable about the GP’s comment. Just be transparent. If anything it might provoke further interest and discussion too.

Me too over the last few years. Being European I also just like supporting companies closer to home where possible.

Seconded! I’ve been using it for multiple years and it is extremely good, and reliable. There are always some features that I wish it had, but ultimately it does a really good job. It’s easy to take for granted the hard work that goes into

Out of interest, those IP ranges that you’re blocking… is that at DNS level or are you doing some firewall-level blocking too? And do you use any kind of reference for determining which ranges/countries are wise to block or has this ju

Excellent write-up. As a Tailscale + Pi-hole user you may have just inspired me to switch to Technitium. I’ve wanted that kind of split horizon functionality for years, for all sorts of things!

Thanks for spreading the word. I hadn’t heard of Aider before and I’m now going to give it a try today.

Your experience doesn’t sound a great deal better and also puts me off this provider. 24-hours is almost synonymous with no warning in my book. How many contact attempts can reasonably be made in that time? If it’s a single email - then e
