AdrianRossouw··on RPCS3 and Dolphin on macOS using gfx-portability
i still think osx killing opengl support is ridiculous.
AdrianRossouw··on The Peculiarly Quiet Decline and Fall of the KVM
I use this one for my 40" 4k monitor, and it works great : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BSNSOPU/
AdrianRossouw··on Show HN: Wire chatbot in action
also open sourced their server implementation... and the interface is so very nice.

I've had some of the best voice / video calls yet with it too.

AdrianRossouw··on Keybase launches encrypted Git
Wire has open sourced it's server code (gplv3 even) and is working on federation support :

https://medium.com/@wireapp/wire-server-code-now-100-open-so...

So you can run your own copy of it, and be in complete control of any information it collects.

AdrianRossouw··on Keybase launches encrypted Git
The two most interesting companies in crypto for me right now are KeyBase, and Wire. I kind of wish there was some way for them to interact with each other, because it feels like they each have a piece of some bigger puzzle.
AdrianRossouw··on Using Jekyll and GitHub Pages
part of the point of jekyll to me is being in control of all the markup on the page, which is why the idea of using a theme goes against how I would use it.
AdrianRossouw··on CouchDB vs. MongoDB
I really liked this article for this kind of thing :

AdrianRossouw··on Kubernetes by Example
We've been exploring openshift and minishift for a project for the last few weeks, and we've come back very impressed.

We especially like the interface they built that ties everything together.

AdrianRossouw··on Ffffound is shutting down
Maybe the archive team can help ? http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
AdrianRossouw··on Closing Communities: FFFFOUND vs. MLKSHK

AdrianRossouw··on Closing Communities: FFFFOUND vs. MLKSHK
I ran a large online community with tens of thousands of users that existed for nearly 19 years. When it came time to close it down, I left a notice on the site for several months before i made it read only...

then the helpful guys at archive team[1] helped me create a complete archive of the site on archive.org with their irc bot.

once that was complete, i replaced the site with a notice and linked to the archives from there.

As an aside, one of the old domains that we used for a while lapsed at some point, and some spammer put up a copy of the pages from the internet archives with ads injected into the content. That eventually went to an SEO landing page a few months later.

AdrianRossouw··on More Than 1M Google Accounts Breached by Gooligan
yup.

although that was mostly to separate out hangouts from what's on my phone.

AdrianRossouw··on [dead]
yep. how do you feed the appointments into your system?
AdrianRossouw··on Netflix hammers cross-border watchers and there may be no way out
They've blocked pretty much all hosting providers and vpn provider's ip ranges.

unless you get an ip in a residential or possibly university range... you're pretty screwed.

AdrianRossouw··on Sale of Kodi ‘fully-loaded’ streaming boxes faces legal test in UK
plex just announced a cloud based version that runs off video stored on amazon drive.
AdrianRossouw··on Ask HN: What keeps you from exercising?
I work from home and hate leaving the house. So i hired a personal trainer to come to my house a couple of times a week.

I prepaid for the sessions, so he's coming whether I want to or not.

more expensive than a gym, sure... but i actually do the exercise this way.

AdrianRossouw··on Apple Said to Plan First Pro Laptop Overhaul in Years
it's still better than the intel integrated video all but the top of the top of the line macbook pros got saddled with.
AdrianRossouw··on Ask HN: What book have you given as a gift?
Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking. I pay it forward.

Stopped smoking six years ago and haven't had the desire to start again since. it feels great.

I actually played the nintendo DS adaptation of the book, which was also available on ios for a while.

it turned all the points the book was trying to make into a series of minigames that really illustrated the principles beautifully.

AdrianRossouw··on Skype finalizes its move to the cloud, ignores the elephant in the room
did you try phoning/mailing support ?
AdrianRossouw··on Skype finalizes its move to the cloud, ignores the elephant in the room
or they had a real desktop client.
AdrianRossouw··on Ask HN: Examples of reliable software you enjoy using
doing something with jq always makes me feel like i have super powers.

it takes a while to learn how to tame it, but it's crazy powerful.

AdrianRossouw··on What does the future hold?
I find it quite touching how the comments are filled with people telling the developer not to return their kickstarter money because they considered it a donation to allow him to follow his dream.

I suspect there would be enough interest here to drive an open source project too.

AdrianRossouw··on The Case for the PS4K
i stopped buying digital ps4 games because of steam family sharing.
AdrianRossouw··on A Docker Container Pattern – Compose Configuration
kubernetes seems like it could be overkill for many situations.

this seems like it has fewer moving parts.

AdrianRossouw··on SteamVR Launch
green screen is a pretty great way to advertise VR actually.
AdrianRossouw··on RIP Over-Engineered Blog
So I'm a bit weirded out by the fact that this has sound reasoning and a solid conclusion, yet it was posted on 1 april.
AdrianRossouw··on NPM removes Disqus comments from blog after users disapprove NPM's resolution
comments are a pointless feature on most blogs anyway.

they just create more work than they create useful content. Anybody who wants to discuss posts has multiple places they can do so now (HN, Reddit, Facebook, etc.)

AdrianRossouw··on Why Are Wheelchairs More Stigmatized Than Glasses?
you don't need to put up signs for people with glasses?
AdrianRossouw··on The Pyra Linux Handheld Computer Has Now a Working Prototype
i had an open pandora, and loved it. can't wait for the pyra.
AdrianRossouw··on The End of Bad Home Wi-Fi
powerline networking worked surprisingly well for me, and would solve this issue for a lot cheaper than $200/router.
