_hnwo··on There are things more interesting than people
this is a beautiful piece of writing, thank you for sharing.
_hnwo··on Ask HN: What tasks do you automate?
please share!
_hnwo··on Ask HN: What pressing world problems should a graphic designer work on?
Make it security suck less. Security UX is terrible. We need people with graphic design skills to help.
_hnwo··on Deniability and Duress
Not sure if this was mentioned already but Kali Linux includes a patch for cryptsetup that essentially does this - provide a certain passphrase and it nukes the keyslots, effectively making the data irrecoverable.

https://www.kali.org/tutorials/emergency-self-destruction-lu... and tutorial for use at https://www.kali.org/tutorials/nuke-kali-linux-luks/

and the patch on github;

_hnwo··on Mark Zuckerberg covers his camera and audio mic jack
yet he used the password "dadada"
_hnwo··on Ask HN: Does anyone here use OS X as a webserver?
used to have a few Xserves when they were a thing, never a million users though.
_hnwo··on Ask HN: Is someone trying to hack me?
enable 2FA on all your accounts if you haven't already done so.
_hnwo··on Major Flaw in Android Phones Would Let Hackers in with Just a Text
Note; the bug is in the Stagefright media library (https://source.android.com/devices/media.html) - so while MMS is the method for delivery here, it may not be the only method.

Nuking MMS from orbit won't patch your phone.

_hnwo··on iTerm2 Shell Integration
I like the idea of these features, but the "run this random shellscript from the internet" part really bugs me. Could / will you integrate it another way when it comes out of the nightly releases?
_hnwo··on Looking Forward: Support for Secure Shell
so windows users might finally be able to download a verifiable/signed and maybe "trusted" application to use ssh with?

_hnwo··on An NFC PGP SmartCard for Android
2048 key limit kind of sucks though..
_hnwo··on Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan: The oldest company in the world
I think the title could be better worded to reflect the content of the article - It's about an "exist" strategy, not an "exit" strategy for startups and companies.

About being a "longtrepreneur" - being an entrepreneur but with the goal of staying.

_hnwo··on Show HN: SSL Decoder – An open-source alternative for the SSL Labs server test
"PHP must allow shell_exec and remote fopen."

ouch.

_hnwo··on Worldwide DNS Performance
Worth noting, similar things being done here: https://atlas.ripe.net with real-world examples (measurements from peoples home internet accounts, workplaces, etc - not 'sponsored' vms, not from some random data centre) and measuring just about anything (DNS and websites)

You can join, host a probe (get it sent to you, plug it in) and then run your own measurement tests based on the 'credits' you earn from having the probe running.

_hnwo··on Worldwide DNS Performance
Same goes for "The Pacific" and probably "Europe". Very generic - depending on where the testing was actually done the results could vary a lot.

BUY link goes to a 404.
_hnwo··on Leatherman Tread, a New Wearable Multi-tool
who said it's specifically for men?

Women can wear this too.

_hnwo··on Protect yourself from the hidden dangers of `curl – sh`
Protect yourself from the hidden dangers of `curl <url> | sh`

... by running this script i'm hosting on the internet.

_hnwo··on OhLife is shutting down
Anyone know how hard it would be to script up something like this so it could be self-hosted?
_hnwo··on Curl.io – Share files from your terminal or ssh
I like how this was downvoted to hell.
_hnwo··on Curl.io – Share files from your terminal or ssh
whaaat.

does anyone else think this is slightly suspect and/or bogus?

_hnwo··on My Synology NAS has been hacked by ransomware calling itself Synolocker
Why is it open to the internet?

Don't do that.

You say it was "behind your router" but I think you've specifically opened ports to your NAS (or you have some sort of NAT and the NAS has done it)

Restrict access (if you must open it to the internet, open to only specific IP addresses) or better yet disable it, and use an ssh port-forward if you really have to get to it.

_hnwo··on Ask HN: What are good blogging platforms for programmers?
how? link? i'd be interested in this.
_hnwo··on Sana'a
this was fascinating, thanks for sharing
