Ir0nMan··on Framework's new Linux laptop is selling faster than its Windows one
To be fair, many of those who choose Linux at checkout will still end up installing Windows. They’ll just acquire it themselves, sometimes in non-traditional or novel ways.
Ir0nMan··on EFF is leaving X
This reads as very performative. You don't have to choose between posting 10 times a day or deleting your account; you could just post less or use it for major updates.
Ir0nMan··on Car Seats as Contraception
People are putting 12 year olds in car seats!?
Ir0nMan··on DigitalOcean Seeks $800M in Funding

Ir0nMan··on How to turn anything into a router
A fun project that results in a unique and stylish router is repurposing a Mac Pro Trashcan. They can be picked up for a few hundred dollars, offer dual 1GbE Intel NICs that work natively on Linux, and have plenty of CPU and RAM overhead. Throw OPNsense on there and you’re off to the races.
Ir0nMan··on Man accidentally gains control of 7k robot vacuums
I'm sorry Dave, I can't toast that.
Ir0nMan··on Keep Android Open
If 50% of the world started running the CCP backed fork and 50% of the world ran the US backed fork, which one would you choose for your phone?
Ir0nMan··on A new bill in New York would require disclaimers on AI-generated news content
Let's make this a thing if the law passes.
Ir0nMan··on Show HN: Wikipedia as a doomscrollable social media feed
Jeopardy training tool.
Ir0nMan··on eBay explicitly bans AI "buy for me" agents in user agreement update
You described exactly how eBay works.
Ir0nMan··on How do I make $10k (What are you guys doing?)
Right now, you need a guaranteed paycheck, not a speculative project.

A side hustle might replace your income one day, but it won’t move fast enough to solve a six-month rent deficit. Focus 100% of your energy on securing a job first; once your housing is stable, you can use your off-hours to build that $10k idea.

Ir0nMan··on CLI agents make self-hosting on a home server easier and fun
It's worth considering: Run the PiVPN script on a Ubuntu/Debian based VM. Set it to use a non-standard random port. That will be your only port exposed to the internet.

Add the generated Wireguard key to any device (laptops, phones, etc) and access your home LAN as if it was local from anywhere in the world for free.

Works well, super easy to setup, secure, and fast.

Ir0nMan··on Setting up a new PC used to be fun, now it is ad-ridden nightmare

Ir0nMan··on TurboTax’s 20-year fight to stop Americans from filing taxes for free (2019)
You haven't realized that they have been taking their payment from your refund all these years? They are a business not a charity.

Ir0nMan··on Cannabis use associated with quadrupled risk of developing type 2 diabetes
Appetitus Cannabinicus.
Ir0nMan··on Betty Crocker broke recipes by shrinking boxes
It sounds like she has been claiming that the recipe that is literally printed on the side of the box has actually been "her" recipe for all these years.
Ir0nMan··on Denmark's Justice Minister calls encrypted messaging a false civil liberty
>That's a pretty high bar

Really? That reads as the lowest possible bar. The legislature just needs to pass a law that allows for the snooping and it is then in 100% compliance with that section. Not even to mention "necessary in a democratic society", I can't imagine wording more broad than that.

Ir0nMan··on Germany is not supporting ChatControl – blocking minority secured
Coming from an American perspective, this is quite shocking and indistinguishable from parody.

"Everyone has a right to privacy expect for all cases where government decides for any reason for any that it should not apply."

Ir0nMan··on How Britain built some of the world’s safest roads
Odd to use per capita here, to make a useful comparison it should be per mile driven.

Alternative 1915 headline: "The motorcar is not replacing jobs or hurting wages in horse and carriage industry, say economists".
Ir0nMan··on The benefits of learning in public
I'd suggest never starting any story with the first 6 words used in this article.
Ir0nMan··on A terrible way to jump into colocating your own stuff
A VPS will be cheaper, easier, and better in /almost/ all ways.

1U rack space, including power, a 1Gb network uplink, and at least 1 dedicated IPv4 IP, is going to be at least $60-80/month, and even that would from small discount colo providers you have never heard of.

Do we know why AliExpress doesn't have the device available for sale to US customers?

Yep, still are.
