DavideNL··on Ask HN: How do you keep up with HN these days?
Fyi, https://hcker.news/ has an "AI" filter... and RSS feeds too.

DavideNL··on I'm switching my phone from Android to Linux
I also live in Europe, and can use my bank in a webbrowser.

I used their App previously, and can just switch back to using the website, after authenticating via both sms and e-mail.

DavideNL··on Pushes to arch AUR are suspendended right now.
I get the impression many of the commenters either don’t know what the AUR is, or have no idea how it works (the AUR guidelines are on top of the front page…)

The latter might be a problem caused by hosting it on the archlinux.org domain: it creates a *feeling* of trust, for the uninitiated.

DavideNL··on KOReader
People complaining about the menus and UI to not be intuitive made me chuckle...

I remember a long time ago, the thing that frustrated me most was that some options are not *visible* when you're in the "file manager" versus inside the "reader" (while reading a book) - and the other way around.

That's so confusing. Would be much better if these options would be *disabled* instead of being *invisible*...

- Syncthing plugin for Koreader (for syncing your ebooks with a computer / phone / tablet)

- RSS feeds for newsfeeds

DavideNL··on Stop Killing the Internet: No Digital ID and No Age Verification
So if i understand correctly, there's no webpage to sign this initiative yet?
DavideNL··on About the security content of macOS Tahoe 26.6
A better strategy would probably be to stick with the previous *major* release, but, do install its ("minor") security updates...
DavideNL··on It's getting harder to focus every day
Yep, i do the same thing. The trick is to increase the barrier to entry.

For the same reason, i don't install ANY apps on my smartphone and tablet, like social apps and news apps. If you have to grab your laptop to check them, it takes way more effort.

And, if you really need to access something "urgently", you can always use the web browser (which is annoying) where i always use Private Mode (no easy logging in.)

DavideNL··on Pebble Mega Update – July 2026
Interesting. Curious, what features exactly?

Is it to download the Pebble mobile app?

DavideNL··on Immich 3.0
Sure!

However, i also want the availability of my photos to be reliable, just like e-mail. It always has to work, wherever i am.

When i'm on the road, and there's some random issue due to power outage, database corruption, or whatever else, i don't want to have to wait until i get back home and make the time to fix things.

On the other hand, when i'm self hosting something like an RSS reader or Jellyfin to stream videos, it's less of an issue. That can wait a few days or weeks until i can fix it.

Thank you for the tip! Luckily there are some useful and thoughtful commenters on HN too, other than all the downvotes and negativity :-)

Apparently HN does not like "not self hosting" and/or "e2e encryption" ?

Meanwhile, i also found https://zeitkapsl.eu/

DavideNL··on Immich 3.0
I don't want yet another self hosted service to manage (update, backups, possible hardware failures, energy costs, ups, etc.).

Unfortunately Immich is not end-to-end encrypted. If that would have be the case i'd use https://pixelunion.eu/

Seems like a great app though. So... i'm still pondering what to do :-)

DavideNL··on Trump says he no longer views Anthropic as a threat after G7 meeting
I bet he said this because it made many Europeans realize the threats are real: Trump can block the EU from using any US service, whenever he feels like it.

This is obviously not good for business…

DavideNL··on Apple Intelligence may become mandatory in iOS and macOS 27
…which probably won’t work for everyone and their grandmother, because most settings in Apple Configurator require you to have a managed device.

DavideNL··on Arch Linux AUR Hit by Another Wave of Now More Sophisticated Malware Attack
Since Arch is hosting / facilitating the AUR on the archlinux.org domain, i think this causes less technical users to assume some level of trust. Even when they are aware that these are 3rd party packages.

Also i find it surprising that there's only very little/slow communication from Arch via their news channel. For example, how users can check for infections.

DavideNL··on AUR packages compromised with Infostealer and Rootkit
Yea, paru makes it really easy, i noticed the diffs are a little easier/different versus yay. Not sure though if it's a config setting, haven't figured out the details yet.

Also paru shows you coloured code syntax if you have `bat` installed, i think.

Would using traur have prevented this attack?

DavideNL··on AUR packages compromised with Infostealer and Rootkit
Curious, in this specific case: if people DID review the PKGBUILD, what exactly would they recognize to spot these packages were compromised ?
DavideNL··on AUR packages compromised with Infostealer and Rootkit
Noob question, but how do people know this is thrustworthy, since it's not from Arch / an official source?

There's a lot of voodoo in that script, i can't easily tell it's safe by reading the code.

I'd expect some reaction/solution from official Arch developers...
