    I typically get stuck on the marketing stage. Far too often I build a project, only to get ready to deploy it, then struggle to think of a name/domain for it. Then coupled with the…

    That was my exact thought. I've seen this a lot on IoT devices, to detect IP collisions/changes.

    I've used Rongta thermal printers a fair bit, I've found them to be cost effective and easy to use. I mostly use them via WebUSB and some random JS ESC/POS lib. Though I have never…

    What would you want them to do if the tables were reversed? Support him, don't take advantage.

    I used "tl" and/or "tldr" for the first few prompts, then variations like "tldr with each letter on new line"

    I self host a lot, including some business related infrastructure for my home office (some employees also work from here). However services designed to be accessed by a wider publi…

    I am having this issue too. It seems it's making a POST request to localhost:8000, looks like their prod is broken.

    How long until we start seeing HN headlines like; How I turned my home into a faraday cage to stop all those pesky IoT devices phoning home.

    Surely there are people of all different nationalities that share that thought? Seems weird to make it only about Americans.

    I can cope with it during the day by keeping my mind active along with background noises, it has really turned me into a workaholic. I too used to listen to loud music when I was y…

    Imagine this, you're laying in bed at night, it's quiet outside just as it should be when sleeping, except for the constant ringing of your tinnitus. You roll over, maybe you cover…

    I've generally considered an SSH tunnel as a poor man's VPN. If you're going to the effort to spinup a machine, and use SSH anyway, i find it much easier to use `ssh user@server.co…

    I was recently looking for an email forwarding service to use for a few months, initially I was searching Github for a decent OSS project that could do this for me, which is when I…

    Having previously led a SoC2 implementation at a few large multi-nationals, the request coming from your company strikes me as either; A) they're being super lazy and using Drata a…

    For those out there using S3 to store their personal backups, I'd like to recommend Wasabi [0] as either a replacement or addition to AWS S3. Wasabi offers object storage in multip…

    Super weird mental gymnastics you got going on there. Hope you find love, and you don't kill them because they cross you.

    Either ethical or otherwise, what are some not-crap ad tech companies, that sell their services?

    Also checkout secured.gg [0], I recently discovered them while researching DDoS solutions used by other popular game servers (for Minecraft, and GTA5). I haven't used them but thei…

    This essentially echos my experience anytime I have had to deal with Microsoft support. It's unfathomable how bad their support is and the difficulty to get anything done even when…

    For me, I don't define any variables via the cli, i put them all in the docker-compose.yml or accompanying .env file, that way it's a simple `docker-compose up` to deploy. Then I c…
