atriix··on Japan skiers’ smartphones making unnecessary emergency calls
I'd guess so too. But not so much from data, rather from my perception of what the "USA media"/"influence people" tend mean when saying hiking, which is something more like a long(er) walk, returning in a/few hours at most within the day. If I or someone from where I live (sweden) said they where headed for a hike, they would not be expected to return same day, but probably be out for a couple days, and carrying a backpack doing so.
atriix··on Email Marketing to Developers
It's rather amusing how obvious it is that one of these ever look at their plain-text email, while going to exteme lengths to "style" their email. Also the fact that their "few links" are about 2k chars long each, with CRM tracking whatevers, so one have zero idea what the actual url is.

Keeping chaning your from address is an excelent way to you getting your enire domain spamlisted instead of just the one sender.

atriix··on Aegis Authenticator – Secure 2FA App for Android
Well my password manager don't have an account to begin with, neither does my TOTP manager. And depending on risk assesment for a given site/account, letting the password manager do some doubble duty as TOTP manager as a convinience is fine, especially if the alternetive outcome would be to not enable TOTP due to the annoyance.
atriix··on Google is forcing us to make our open source VoIP app worse
the irony of that, is that all to many times, one must enable cookies to be able to dismiss the, often full screen takeover, cookie notice to "disable" cookies

uMatrix [0] "Point and click matrix to filter net requests according to source, destination and type" is also nice.

atriix··on Ask HN: Mailing lists that HN readers ought to know about?
It would appear as not many people either know or make a difference of a mailing list and a newsletter, since most things linked here are newsletters.

For anyone else searching, the actual file is https://github.com/LukyVj/family.scss/blob/master/source/src...
atriix··on Where did all the HTTP referrers go? (2013)

atriix··on Show HN: GitBook Editor Beta – Markdown WYSIWYG, TeX
As for consuming documentation, I find Read the Docs[1] way easier to navigate. It feels like GitBook tries to strip away all sense of navigation and makes it way too "minimalistic" or "slim".

atriix··on Self-hosted alternatives to popular cloud services
Oddly enough, I have actually not seen any of these. Apparently my Google Fuu was not on top at the time when I started mine.

Anyhow, there is really lots of good stuff that turned up in this entire thread.

atriix··on Self-hosted alternatives to popular cloud services
I keep a list of self-hosted application over at https://github.com/victorhaggqvist/selfhosted. Feel free to contribute if you think there is something missing.
atriix··on Show HN: Twitch Installs Arch Linux – A cooperative text-based horror game
Seems dead now though.

"The community has closed this channel due to terms of service violations"

atriix··on Windows 10 upgrade installing automatically on some Windows 7, 8 systems
The fact that the possibility to make that "mistake" exists makes it a non-mistake. And rather something that was due to happen but maybe someone pressed the button too early.
atriix··on Adblock Sold to Mystery Company
TIL Firefox for Android has addons. I have apparently been living under a rock (called Chrome).
atriix··on Otto, the successor to Vagrant
Maybe Vagrant with Docker as backend will get some love now? That is native Docker (ie on a linux host) not just a separate vm to host Docker. The fact that one can't set static ip-address using the Vagrantfile is annoying.

This is some good pep talk
atriix··on Angie’s List Sues Amazon Local
I find it slightly ironic that this site requires JS to display any content at all.
