Hi HN, I've been working on this project for a few months because I often get overwhelmed with the deluge of information online, especially the news. The idea is to get caught up w…

> A nano banana photo-editing app where I don’t have to write a prompt. Just give me hundreds of templates from trying out different haircuts to seeing what you and your partner’s …

Not really, this is more of an internet meme [1]. [1] - https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/pm-modi-responds-to-it...

I want to expand on this more as someone more familiar with Bangalore/Bengaluru. Almost like clockwork, Blume Ventures releases a report every year about the state of the Indian st…

Is it that hard to find? This[1] took me one search on YouTube. I agree that India is filthy, but it's not hard to find such videos for China either. [1] - https://www.youtube.com/…

"The Ugly Indian" [1] (a ragtag group of anonymous citizens) usually does that in India. In reality, though, these kinds of issues are only really seen as a minor inconvenience at …

I'm Indian. We also learned that Carbon dating was a thing somewhere between Middle School and High School. I also believe that the reference to isotopes was hyperbolic and that he…

I interpreted it as knowing the basics of nuclear physics in order to do a CS Bachelor's degree, which is what the entrance exam for these colleges ask.

From what I see running the test on my phone, there's an option to tunnel DNS through Rethink here, which you can change to the VPN's DNS. Everything else is tunneled by default th…

Not really on topic, but is there any plan on integrating tailscale with it? There's a userspace mode for tailscale that exposes a socks proxy, but you currently have to spawn that…

I didn't intend for this to be propaganda, I don't even use it anymore since I'm on grapheneOS now. But I have tried all three. I need to use a VPN in split mode for certain apps, …

There's RethinkDNS [1](not affiliated to them, just like their software). Sometimes it gets killed on my phone, but otherwise it's a great replacement, adds some much-needed featur…

There's no need to dream about it, it already exists: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.celzero.bravedns/ I used to use it when I wasn't on grapheneOS and needed to block internet a…

Newpipe takes care of this pretty well. You can select what it calls "Channel groups", which would be a feed of a subset of your subscriptions.

I tried the same route, but got the logs correctly. It gave me a HTTP 410 error. I wouldn't be surprised at all if VLC's youtube plugin is just too old and there's a better one som…

You should be able to do this with radio-browser.info [1]. Specifically, look at the documentation that lists all stations. [1] - https://de1.api.radio-browser.info/#General

I like how flexible matrix bots are but there are some problems that I'm not able to easily solve, like finding out when a new person joins a matrix room because the m.join event i…

More importantly, it is indexable by search engines (if you use view.matrix.org). But it's not as simple to use as discord quite yet. I say this as a self-hosted matrix user, but i…

This [1] is the list that UAD uses. [1] - https://github.com/Universal-Debloater-Alliance/universal-an...

Not the OP, but the beeper client looks better and has native GIF support, among other niceties that more "normal" users would prefer over other clients.

Isn't mautrix/signal supposed to work on the cloud? Or is there some work that has been done to make it work on the phone?

Used to be that way, they decided to give it out for free for the time being. [1] [1] - https://blog.beeper.com/p/beeper-is-now-free

This [1] makes me think gobpf uses C bindings to bcc, so golang does not compile to eBPF, bcc does. [1] - https://github.com/iovisor/gobpf/tree/master/bcc

I definitely feel a large German presence as a very active Matrix user, but Hetzner and Contabo are also some of the cheapest providers, so it just makes more logical sense to use …
