PatrolX··on Are Product Hunt's featured products still online today?
Interesting, I'd like to see a more comprehensive version of this using https://builtwith.com/ detection data for products where it's relevant.

It's literally a copy of hello which makes it a ripoff.

It also has the exact same stated goals, regarding macOS.

So when the goal is the same my question is legit, why?

What will be different to hello?

Why not just contribute to hello?

PatrolX··on Airyx OS
So you ripped off helloSystem, basically.

Why?

PatrolX··on Launch HN: Openland (YC W18) – Community platform with automation
I'm English, and every group I joined was full of Russian language posts so I quit.

English speakers aren't going to stick around, it's a horrible experience.

You're better off with "self-hosted" Ghost.

I don't understand the obsession with substack.

Get on Ghost, run it on your own domain, own the entire asset, and stop paying the substack tax.

PatrolX··on Cloudflare WARP+ VPN and others aren't hiding your real IP, test your VPN here
Why wouldn't it?

CloudFlare is good at protecting websites.

They just need to be more transparent in the WARP+ app itself, and make it clear your real IP is exposed on the splash screen maybe.

PatrolX··on Cloudflare WARP+ VPN and others aren't hiding your real IP, test your VPN here
The general understanding of a consumer VPN is that it hides your real IP address, and provides privacy.

The CloudFlare WARP+ app even says "Your Internet is private" on the splash page when WARP+ is enabled which is false, and misleading.

CloudFlare do not make this clear enough in their app, they should state clearly that your real IP is exposed on the splash screen.

"Of the 913 unique IP addresses found in that dump, 677 were detected by Bad Packets CTI scans to be vulnerable to CVE-2019-11510 when the exploit was made public last year,"

Crazy stuff, what's going on with these enterprises.

100%

And everyone in government will quickly conclude that they can't allow this to happen.

This could be the beginning of the end of social media.

Imagine what "could have been" done.

Simultaneous compromise leading to tens or hundreds of millions of people receiving the same / similar messages for over an hour from the people they trust the most.

Death and destruction waiting to happen.

PatrolX··on Hackers take over prominent Twitter accounts in simultaneous attack
Twitter is seriously out of control.

They should have pulled the plug an hour ago, and that plug pulling should have been automated.

If this were something even more sinister a whole country could have plummeted into chaos, death, destruction.

PatrolX··on iOS14 reveals that TikTok may snoop clipboard contents every few keystrokes
Here's a test you should run.

Create a bitly account if you don't have one and login and create a bitly link for anything, it doesn't matter what it is.

Copy that bitly link to your clipboard and repeat what you're doing in that video.

Monitor the bitly link for clicks.

Better still do it on a website you control with a unique URL that won't get indexed by a search engine and monitor the web server log files for hits and keep a record of the IP addresses.

PatrolX··on I Am Deleting the Blog
I agree, it's plausible.

But journalists don't stop at "plausible" and then write, they keep digging until they have "the facts" (or their biased version of the facts) right?
