The best way to contribute is find bugs in stuff you use and fix them, or write guides/docs for popular software. You should work on things you know and use so you understand what the users need.

Somehow I can't tell you any specific examples off the top ofbmy head.

Ente has an Authy export guide. https://help.ente.io/auth/migration-guides/authy/

You don't even need to have Authy installed. The script pretends to be a new device and gets the keys from your backup. (You might need to run chmod +x for execute permission)

Am I misunderstanding your comment or do you think that Authy is the same as Aegis?

Anyway, Aegis and Ente have export options, Aughy doesn't.

You can't but they should be better than Authy, at least they have export options...

Ente has built in backups and encrypted export options. Export should be better than Aegis

I have heard only prise recently...

If you find the source or news article please share!

You don't need regular backups, just every time you add a new service.

Ente has free backups and it's own encrypted export format, which sounds promissing.

Thanks for sharing but everything is extremely unclear. The biggest piece of information is the HN title.

Also, remember Floorp Browser? Sounds similar.

Website is broken on mobile.

You are the dev?

I am under a rock about weddings. How is this different from taking pictures normaly with your phone camera? (With a cloud backup)

Aren't the disposeabke cameras about being physical and non-distracting? I feel like this misses whatever the key aspect of disposeable cameras is.

Good question, and I don't like the answers of other users. They are exclusively naming big well estabilished applications, that could be there due to pure luck.

Though it is true that LibreOffice, ffmpeg, and Linux are successful and widely used, I was much more curious whether the small ShowHN ones got anywhere. And I barely found any.

All (recent) FOSS success stories come from the proprietary apps being so screwed up. (At least that's my impression)

I just went to Google products Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google_products

There is lots of other cool stuff like a Santa Tracker: https://santatracker.google.com/

I initially went through google subdomain lists on github, but many of them just redirected to the main search engine.

With how many things Google has killed, its hard to remember how many are still alive.

And thanks for sharing Internet Places DB.

You could be right, after reading through the guidelines it does seem on the edge. Which exact policy do you think it is violating?

I was trying to relay that it is an enormous resource by Google but somehow nobody talks about it. (At least I haven't heard about it, which is odd considering its size.)

The title does sound a bit clickbaity, please tell me what title I should have used instead.

In hindsight, this was bad advice.

There should be a leading slash (/) for root. So #!/usr/bin/python3

And for the file to execute you have to give yourself execution permission with "chmod +x myscript.py"

Love the Easter egg!

Here is something you might want to learn about: "shebangs" they are those #!usr/bin/python3 thingies on the first line, and you can run python scripts with ./myscript.py just like you would run shell scripts and binaries.

Anybody know any good Android tutorials?

(One that explains why every step is necessary, and what exactly it does in greater detail, as well as the underlying structures. YT tutorials are a bit outdated and are bad at explaining details.)

I have an unclarity with this situation.

How much of him being a hero is a coincidence? Did he refuse to sign the previous launches? Did NASA have reasons to believe that the launch could be successful? How much of a role does probability play here. I mean if someone literally tells you something isn't safe, especially the person who made it, you can't tell him it will work. There is somekind of bias here.

1. Nice site, bookmarked to give it to people. 2. You are a very bad and annoying person ;)

From a programming perspective, it would have been cooler if the font generation was automatic at the cost of a bit of quality. This might have allowed for more interesting variation, lowercase, and support of other symbols.

There is nothing less anoying than seeing a really custom font repeat a letter.

Not get it in the first place.

Not an expert myself, but I think cleaning up and reinstalling your whole OS once in a while probably deals with malware.

Let me give you some thoughts from a shifted point of view:

Techy people here on HN can easily circumvent Google Search result issues, the real harm is for the average user.

Ways to deal with terrible Google Search results:

1. For complex computer problems, Google search is still has the biggest index, and less affected by SEO spam.

2. When using Google as substitute for a websites builting engine, google dorks get the job done.

3. Modern browsers allow you to switch enginees on the fly from the address bar (eg. Brave Browser has :w which instantly switches to Wikipedia) and there are similar keywords for opening bookmark.

4. If I know where I want to go, I go there directly using those shortcuts.

5. When looking for inspiration or quality stuff to read I search hn.algolia.com, use Brave Search Goggles or any other "custom" browser enginees that give results for specific topic.

6. Ask ChatGPT or some other Chatbot. (Results differ, but it works sometimes)

7. I have collected by own sites and bookmarks over time.

The only thing I don't know how to search are Product Reviews.

I think "general" search enginees are in decline, and (techy people) are gking back to pretty much manual indexing.

What's wrong with browser bookmarks?

Looks like you watch Luis Rossman, but you didn't get the memo.

We shouldn't point and laugh at other people for getting screwed over by companies, but critizise the companies committing the crimes.

I might be wrong, and if I am please tell me.

I think the problem is that people are supporting all of this.

Screwing the user is the trend in all industries now.

A am an amatur, so most of the stuff I have is from carefully filtering the HN feed (hence I assume you have it too)

My only "new" observation is that websites hosted by universities have PDFs better than $200 dollar textbooks. But I don't know how to search for them at scale yet.

Once you find a problem, remember to ask the "5 whys" to get to the root cause.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_whys

Humanity is driving itself into the ground in a wheel of greed and ignorance.

The core value humanity needs right now is a significant change in culture where opposition to normalization and mainstream is promoted, and nonsense is actively fought against.

Even Hackernews is slighly more mainstream than I would prefer with wordy nonsensical articles constantly showing up.

And I don't know what to do about it, nobody does. All the good content is extremely hard to find. It took me years to realize the Indie Web existed and even it is slightly tilted to the mainstream.

Humans just don't care about the stuff that matters. It was all figured out many years ago, but is now burried behind mountains of "innovations."

Thanks, exactly I was looking for. I knew there had to be some kind of community around it, but didn't know where to find it.

Thanks for sharing, some really useful stuff right there.

Yeah, this is the method I heard the most often.

Unfortunately the more random the sequence, the harder it is to build association groups around it. But I guess this is good enough after a bit of practice.

Thanks
