> I ran a semi-popular German case-modding website and forum 19 years ago. Was that casemodder.de by any chance? I spent quite a lot of time there back in my teenage days.

But how often do people have to write down or dictate IP addresses?

Well, did it ever close? I live in Germany and there are a few bars here that are open around the clock. Many of them hat to close for the first time in years because of the Corona…

This comment should have a dot. The above one not.

I'm just gonna test this here.

It sounds like a quite complicated, risky and expensive job to do just out of greed without any idea what to do with the stolen goods.

Because other humans pay money for this. And we're probably not that far away from Health Insurance Companies using your toothbrush's data to calculate your rates.

And I can imagine the advertisements on the mirror you have to look at while shaving. Or before. A quick message from our sponsors before your mirror sessions starts

I'm fairly sure "it's their birthday, so they get a tax break" won't work.

Or a userbase that for some reason dislikes and abuses you. Maybe you have made enemies because of some random political statemant. A large enough group could ruin you.

Then what's up with the whole "directions" part? In an answer to another comment you wrote: > I'm requiring the users to make a leap from the title of the page 'Gif Directions' to …

Same. I skimmed through all comments in this thread and still have no idea what this service does. From the intro video it seems to be a service that converts a video to a gif.

With Chromium based browsers you should be able to set every website to be muted at first. You'll only see a mute symbol on the tab when the tab tries to play sound. If there is no…

How long till deepfakes make this obsolete?

Apparently the author read this and reacted quickly, or this is a nice coincidence - Dublin was added about an hour after your comment, with the video you suggested: https://twitte…

Yeah, this would be my feature request as well. If there are decent quality of night drives available for the city it would be nice to be able to switch to those.

Let's hope somebody works backwards and looks at patches made to the Tails video player and looks for something that could have been an exploit

They'll tell you who pays for the connection. They can't reliably tell you who uses it. Maybe it was a family member, roommate or anybody who knows the wifi password.

So... it actually is a DDoS attack ;)

I've started to switch all my email stuff to https://uberspace.de/en/ It's a kind of shared hosting with full ssh (non-root) access. They offer a pre-installed Roundcube Webmailer,…

This is a bit of an exaggeration, but: I bet you the arms industry is full of brilliant people as well, but developing systems that are designed to kill people is still wrong.

This. I had no idea what this did until I read a couple of HN-comments. The short introduction could mean a couple of things: Just downgrading the pdf? Looking for a signature-like…

For me, it's not about precision. With the Trackpoint I can rest my hands on the Keyboard/Homerow and I can use the pointer without having to move my hands at all.
