This is awesome. A lot of the comments here suggest that some of the functionality can be replaced by extensions like vimium-ff [1]. If you only compare the list of features then m…

I definitely agree. One thing to note about Kinesis Advantage 2 is that it is really massive compared to other keyboards. I didn't realize before getting one for myself and seeing …

> This is a core feature of every ad platform I've seen and is absolutely not a violation of the GPDR. I agree with you on this part. It is not a violation of GDPR on the ad platfo…

I wouldn't say that I am great at stats either, but AFAIK this is mostly because of super high tail-latencies (usually the 99th percentile, commonly caused by garbage collection or…

Nice summary, thanks. Do you think, that there is a chance to get Google Hangouts running with microG? It's required by my current employer unfortunately.

This is pretty much what Firejail [1] does (except the page trust level) and using it is fairly straight forward. I had some issues running separate X server though (as far as I kn…

There is even timing server side attack exploiting "curl |bash" recently posted on HN [1]. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11532599

Oddly, the google seems to be working much better for me if I use whole sentences (How to..., Where can I...). This is really annoying. I am using DucDuckGo as there is currently n…

Hi, I just did a short test and it looks really promising. It has also an android app! This is really the selling point for me :) BUT I really do not believe that this is the way a…
