ambigious7777··on .name Termination
You're talking about DAME (which email uses). It has it's own issues like not having transparency logs, and if a DNSSEC signing keyholder goes rogue, there is no easy way to revoke trust (unlike CRLs for Web PKI).
ambigious7777··on Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber
Plays perfectly smoothly for me, fwiw (Librewolf 154.0.1-3, windows 11)
ambigious7777··on Stop Making TUIs
i appreciate still having my same tools when i switch from linux to windows devices
ambigious7777··on An update on residential proxies and the scraper situation
you're not a bot thats irrelevant
ambigious7777··on An update on residential proxies and the scraper situation
i personally like using http://hcker.news as a reader, its much nicer
ambigious7777··on An update on residential proxies and the scraper situation
the device acts as a proxy. i don't think any browser is running on the device, it is just forwarding packets.
ambigious7777··on ESA declares private Minecraft servers 'illegal' in StopKillingGames hearing
There are a lot of similar implementations, but nothing really comes close to replicating the full mechanics of the actual game. Probably because the game is so easily decompiled that most people don’t see a need.
ambigious7777··on New layouts with CSS Subgrid
it's because the CSS file is for styles not important to the example
ambigious7777··on Show HN: Ts-SSH – SSH over Tailscale without running the daemon
not sure, but i think this may be a special feature for Show HNs
ambigious7777··on Journey to Optimize Cloudflare D1 Database Queries
I'm pretty sure D1 and DO build upon each other. I'm not sure exactly how, but I do remember reading about them using shared infra.
ambigious7777··on Git without a forge
I do hope that Forgejo Federation is implemented, but it seems to me progress has stalled on it?
ambigious7777··on Certificate Transparency in Firefox
Why not use something like crt.sh?
ambigious7777··on Show HN: I created a language called AntiLang – breaking all the conventions
that's absolutely evil
ambigious7777··on The Microsoft 365 Copilot launch was a disaster
It's possible to do it using [ExplorerPatcher] I think, but it's not officially supported.

[ExplorerPatcher]: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher

ambigious7777··on Show HN: Markwhen: Markdown for Timelines
I really want to like Org mode, but I just can't. The syntax feels too out of place. With markdown it's just a few extra symbols, but using Org mode feels like writing LaTeX in a way.

Same thing with MediaWiki - I love the wiki system but WikiText is just so bad.

ambigious7777··on Bitwarden is no longer free software
Looking at the description, it seems to require purchasing a premium version for the ability to add and modify items on Android, not sure if that's something I would want.
ambigious7777··on Minimalistic Beat Maker
i do agree, especially when adding several notes in quick succession the delay is rather bad.
ambigious7777··on Minimalistic Beat Maker
after taking a look at the src[0] it looks like you can share sequences by adding a hash.

the format appears to be a letter A-Z to notate the position, followed by a sequence of numbers for the sounds. ex:

  https://martinwecke.de/108/#A1B2C3D4G123I4
  gives [[1], [2], [3], [4], [], [], [1, 2, 3], [], [4]] where each array is a note and the subarray is the list of sounds played

try pressing space
ambigious7777··on Politicians fall sick after drinking raw milk to celebrate legalising raw milk (2016)
Rather ironic, although I don't understand why you would want to drink/legalize raw milk.
ambigious7777··on WebSockets vs. Server-Sent-Events vs. Long-Polling vs. WebRTC vs. WebTransport
I'm making a WASM browser dungeon crawler game using WebTransport. It currently does not have great support -- namely Safari -- but because of other API incompatibilities I'm not planning on supporting Safari :P

WebTransport is a bit more work than other ones, like SSE, but the flexibility and performance make it work it IMO.

ambigious7777··on Simple no bs persistent notepad
there's a lot of hidden features

for example you can create multiple notes by doing https://blank.page/notenamehere

ambigious7777··on Ibis, a federated Wikipedia alternative
git? not sure exactly what you're trying to say here, but you could do some stuff with git

have a local repo of your own notes, a hosted repo serving as the communal ref. if you want to make updates, commit and push --, you can cherry pick the sections you want.

i recall seeing something like mediawiki (but it stored articles as plaintext) a while back, you could use that for a web-based portal too

ambigious7777··on Bruno: Fast and Git-friendly open-source API client (Postman alternative)
I can relate to this. I've tried to use Postman and Insomnia in the past, but the UI is pretty complicated with a lot of domain specific terms.

Instead, I just hacked together a small Python library, called all the APIs from there, and pushed to Git. Everyone on my team understands it, I have 100% control, and no cloud needed.

ambigious7777··on Don't fuck with paste
The extension needs to re-enable paste, which means it needs to possibly inject some JS into the page.
ambigious7777··on Don't Use Discord for FOSS (2021)
Discord does have client mods (Vencord, BetterDiscord) which do help. They technically are against Discord TOS, but I've been using Vencord and BD for several years with many friends, none of us have gotten punished yet.
ambigious7777··on Don't Use Discord for FOSS (2021)
I don't really understand why everyone is in such a rush to use Discord now (or any other chat platform). It's about building a community, but you can still do the same on forums.

Sure, it's nice having near-instant feedback from other people, but at that point it's just turning into social media. I feel like forums provoke people to write more sophisticated, and better posts rather than on Discord.

My current workplace uses phpBB (lol) with a bit of GitHub discussion sprinkled in. I think it's great, much less cluttered than something like Slack.

ambigious7777··on Don't Use Discord for FOSS (2021)
Discord does have a forums feature, which is somewhat searchable, so that's not entirely true.

I think the best thing for this stuff is still a forum, like GitHub Discussions (or Issues), or just run your own message board.

ambigious7777··on Show HN: 3 years and 1M users later, I just open-sourced my "Internet OS"
And this anuraOS[0] too! I haven't looked to closely at it (it showed up in my GH feed) but it looks like it uses v86[1] to emulate a *nix environment.

ambigious7777··on Ask HN: How to license an OSS so that only commercial use is paid?
I see that MongoDB has a license, which I'm assuming is similar to the AGPL. Since companies don't want to release all their code, they also provide a Enterprise edition, which probably is under a non-copyleft license. This edition is then paid, so they make money. This also requires all PR contributors to sign a relicensing agreement.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's how I'm understanding it currently.
