Your feelings are shared by many others our age. Friends at work are important, especially if you're living alone. I live alone in a city with friends within reach, but only having…

I do the same. I've yet to hear a convincing argument against this practice. Everyone seems okay with passwordless docker and you can use that to privilege escalate too.

> The problem is that ligature substitution is “dumb” in the sense that it only considers whether certain characters appear in a certain order. It’s not aware of the semantic conte…

I use Dracula color scheme along with the Cascadia Code font [1]. I've been using this set up in both VSCode for Rust and Java in IntelliJ. I find this combination to be extremely …

Actually, it is how it works. Try doing "cd ~camgunz" and it should take you to the home directory for camgunz.

I've been running something similar on my three Raspberry Pi 4 with microk8s and flux [1]. Flux is great for a homelab environment because I can fearlessly destroy my cluster and i…

Using Pdfsandwich in college was like having a superpower. We would often be given PDFs with only image data. While my peers were still scrolling through and copying quotes by hand…

I wanted to clear out my account so I deleted the VM but it didn't delete the associated static IP, so I got charged for the unused IP address that month. I didn't know the IP was …

In Azure I put all my stuff in a new resource group and then when I'm done I just delete the entire resource group. This has worked well for me so far and I haven't had any surpris…

The key takeaway for me is how this decision affects port scanning. According to the article: > Van Buren is really good news for port scanning, for example: so long as the compute…

The bigger problem is when platforms block the content. In this case very few people will hear about the conspiracy theory. So then few will know that this is something worth inves…

Some conspiracy theories turn out to be true. Suppressing research into these would also lead to poorly informed decisions. For example, government mass surveillance on the scale r…

What you probably want is a signature. Since pass can be a git repo, you could use git to sign your commits [1]. But you'll have to remember to check the git commit signatures or a…

The Password Store app delegates key management to another app. I use OpenKeychain [1] for this. I believe OpenKeychain supports Yubikeys, but I haven't used that feature myself so…

Ah, there is an Android app [1] which you sync the passwords to and it basically presents a list of all your websites. To use a password: tap on the website name, unlock your GPG k…

git push. The Android app works with git repos from SSH. I also use Wireguard since I run my SSH server behind the VPN, but this is obviously optional since you can just expose you…

I've been using pass for several years now and I recommend it to my friends, but I usually get weird looks when I say I store my passwords in a git repo (it's not as bad as it soun…

It's not just international keyboards that are affected by this. I'm a Dvorak user so I run into these issues from time to time. As the article explains, there is a difference betw…

I notice they use GitHub stars as a metric in the Appendix, supposedly to "insist that we hadn’t done a hard launch yet." I wonder how meaningful this metric is. Is 350 a lot of st…

What I meant is declare themselves independent from mainland China (dropping the claims on the mainland). This would provoke China by violating the Anti-Secession Law [1]. [1] http…

Currently the US is not choosing either of these because they both have downsides. In (1), this may embolden Taiwan to take risky and provocative actions such as declaring themselv…

China's economic growth has been fueled by demographics such as a young labor force. Due to the one child policy and low birth rates, they are facing a demographic collapse in the …

Due to the one child policy, China is going to experience a demographic collapse this decade as more people retire than are available to replace them in the workforce. So the 2020s…

This being HN, does anyone have any knot suggestions for computer cables? For example, I have several cables that are too long and I tie them up with a twist-tie, but maybe there's…

Regardless of your thoughts on whether this particular case qualifies as mental illness, we need to work to de-stigmatize mental illness. Being diagnosed with a mental illness shou…
