0x426577617265on Show HN: A Twitter crawler for app ideas

I would see myself procrastinate until it falls off my calendar.

0x426577617265on Facebook does not plan to notify half-billion users affected by data leak

Don’t store data you can’t protect. Because something is ‘hard’ doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be done.

0x426577617265on Ask HN: Cheapest/easiest way to host a static site?

I host at home but put a VPS in front of it. Then I use wireguard to route all the connections to my home server. Which goes right thru all that NAT.

Pretty much that’s the case. US is #1 buyer.

I'm not sure how you could come to that conclusion based on my questions. China's place on the world stage is largely dependent on having customers. If there is no where for them to sell their manufactured goods, then they are not in a position of power.

> supply chain resilience

Resilience to what exactly? Is the report suggesting the country holding the 'keys' is hostile?

0x426577617265on Fake_contacts: Android app to create fake phone contacts, to do data-poisoning

Yes, this data could be quickly mitigated.

0x426577617265on Show HN: QEMU front end for M1 and Intel Macs

I have a Dell R720 that I bought fairly cheaply ~$600 came with 192GB of RAM. I shoved some SSDs in it with a GPU. Sits in my garage. If I'm not home I can still remote into my terminal via wireguard. Good deals can be found using lab gopher:

Granted it's not 64cores, but still fast.

0x426577617265on M1 Mac owners are experiencing high SSD writes over short periods of time

Option B sounds more likely in my case. I haven't used it much. Mostly just checking some websites. It's not a daily driver.

0x426577617265on M1 Mac owners are experiencing high SSD writes over short periods of time

It's how many times the drive is powered on/off.

0x426577617265on M1 Mac owners are experiencing high SSD writes over short periods of time

    brew install smartmontools && sudo smartctl --all /dev/disk0

Mine is about 20 days old. MacBook Air M1 16Gb 1TB Drive:

Not sure what to make of the power cycles stat either. It's mostly plugged in at my desk.

0x426577617265on K-9 Mail is looking for funding

One thing that confuses me about iOS devices is when a gmail account is added to the mail program. It isn’t clear if it is adding SMTP/IMAP or if it is doing some web app type configuration and if that gives Google more access to track device activity.

0x426577617265on Tesla skips 401(k) match for third straight year

Where does their recent purchase of $1.5 billion in Bit Coin fit into this view?

0x426577617265on Google Cloud lost $5.6B in 2020

I’m always afraid of relying on Google services — never know what will get cut.

0x426577617265on Recovering a Bricked SSD with JTAG and a Raspberry Pi

> The result is a wall of rather intimidating errors indicating imminent doom with the disk is for all intensive purposes BRICKED.

    all intents and purposes.

0x426577617265on “WSB veterans know that they're making a suicide charge for the memes”

Yes, I think it has too many followers right now. Perhaps it returns to 'normal' after the hype wears off. It has happened before just not to this scale.

0x426577617265on “WSB veterans know that they're making a suicide charge for the memes”

I like following WSB, been there for years as well. There has been some incredible gains for me -- AMD, NIO, and TLRY to name a few. They were spotted early by the sub, it's up to the individual to decide when they want to exit their trade.

0x426577617265on Docker, Django, Traefik, and IntercoolerJS: My go-to stack for building a SaaS

I agree. Python's virtual environments are awesome and easy to use. On a new server just start with

    apt install python3-venv

Really easy to source the environments as needed during automation, etc.

0x426577617265on Docker, Django, Traefik, and IntercoolerJS: My go-to stack for building a SaaS

Is that sql docker exposed to the Internet or is there another network other than ‘web’ ?

0x426577617265on Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Robinhood in the State of New York

Not a lawyer -- I think those conversations would fall under free speech. A coordinated effort to buy shares, what's the problem? Are investors suppose to buy shares with blinds on and not talk to anyone? There are entire TV programs that are dedicated to talking about good/bad stocks to buy/sell.

0x426577617265on We Are Preparing a Class Action Lawsuit Against Robinhood

It's probably purely a math question -- what's cheaper impending lawsuit (we can settle) or losing our trade?

0x426577617265on AOC considering hearing over RobinhoodApp decision to block purchasers of GME

Such an ironic company name given the current situation.

0x426577617265on Replacing Dropbox in favor of DigitalOcean spaces

That sounds more taxing on my connection than what I was thinking. Not really up for 100 connections, but if I'm matched up with 1 or 2 other users then that would seem ok.

0x426577617265on Replacing Dropbox in favor of DigitalOcean spaces

I have a 50TB+ NAS in my garage rack. Which I'm not utilizing completely. I wonder if there is a market for renting out some of my storage for someone else's encrypted backups. Something like a website, where I can list my price/gb & connection speed -- or maybe people could swap. Maybe I want to store 5TB off site and I'm willing to let someone else store their 5TB on my server. The website would act as the middleman for introducing the two customers.

> I don't get anything for recommending Tarsnap; I'm just a customer. https://www.tarsnap.com/

From their site:

"The Tarsnap service is built on top of the solid platform provided by Amazon Web Services."

Had to do this years ago for headless bitcoin miners with multiple GPUs.

0x426577617265on Facebook shuts down the Socialist Workers Party in Britain

> Citizens will require a personal licence to access the internet, and anonymous use will be illegal.

A lot of users IDs are already tied to their ISP. A simple date/timestamp and a IP address would probably identify the majority of users (in the US).

I use this with an automated script that watches my Twitter activity. If I like a tweet it determines if it contains a URL then archives it.
