absorber··on Ask HN: Does anyone actually use Keybase?
I considered using it, tried registering but had some issues. Tried reaching out to them but it seems like there is absolutely no way to contact them (other than their twitter, which looks somewhat abandoned).

This made me pretty suspicious, but especially since https://keybase.io/support is just another user claiming to be Keybase support. That's a huge red flag in my book, more so for a security product.

I don't know, but for me this didn't really inspire much confidence.

Guix / Nix might be a solution to this problem.
absorber··on Ask HN: 12 year old tech savvy girl – books, programs, events, advice?
His videos are so great! I'm watching his "Introduction - p5.js" video [0] and I'm crying with laughter. His style of teaching is truly inspirational.

It's really great, although I wish the overlay feature will get added soon: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/issues/105

IIRC there is a Google Drive application which allows the users to have a similar "virtual folder" functionality as Dropbox has.

You might want to check out firejail - https://firejail.wordpress.com/ - it supports seccomp as well.

absorber··on Show HN: Collapse Comments on Hacker News
Just tried it, this IMO is definitely an improvement over the Hacker News Enhancement Suite, especially when using the default HN style.

However, I frequently use HN without scripts and cookies, and I find it somewhat disappointing that it uses cookies to store its settings instead of local storage.

I'll open an issue on the repo when I find the time though.
