axismundi··on Ask HN: Decent Internet Router Recommendations?
I am considering mesh device, but also looking at wifi 6 support, since we have smartphones that support it, and I can add wifi 6 expansion card to my kids computer - they are quite inexpensive nowadays.

> The public good is the sharing, not the platform.

That! Although the platform is good too :)

axismundi··on CFTC Orders JPMorgan to Pay Record $920M for Spoofing and Manipulation (2020)
“This action sends the important message that if you engage in manipulative and deceptive trade practices you will be caught, punished, and forced to give up your ill-gotten gains,” added Division of Enforcement Director James McDonald.

No, Mr McDonald, it's quite the opposite. The important message is that if your organization can keep the profits from criminal activities higher than the penalties, they can perpetuate it. That's because there are virtually no other consequences for any individual criminals personally responsible for this, and none of them was persecuted, punished and forced to give up his ill-gotten gains.

axismundi··on Jamulus ‒ Play music online. With friends. For free
By following the setup guide I was able to achieve 30-60ms latency. It's still a lot of fun. I spent a lot of time playing with others during the pandemic. A few tips for better experience: - Mute participants that have high delay. - Avoid rooms with more than ~10 participants. - Mute yourself if you are not playing. - Adjust your volume properly. If you are too loud, others may hear clicks and may perceive it as audio drops.
axismundi··on Elfshaker: Version control system fine-tuned for binaries
does it work on intel macs?
axismundi··on ES modules are terrible
I thought that as well, until I read this:

axismundi··on ES modules are terrible
Don't bundle. The only reason for bundling is too many requests to the server. Use HTTP/2 instead.
axismundi··on Minimum Viable Secure Product
What are 'insecure JavaScript functions' mentioned in 3.3?
axismundi··on The metaverse is already here – it's Minecraft
No, it's not. Minecraft is just a single game. If you could teleport between Second Life and Minecraft, then we could start talking about multiverse.
axismundi··on The metaverse is already here, it's called the internet
How come that the same company that ruined countless people's mental health announces that they want to completely immerse mankind in an alternative reality and take over human senses in a much more potent way, yet the most discussed aspect of it seems to be whether it's possible, and what problems need to be solved in order to make it happen.

Let's about devastating mental health problems that this will cause. To me it's obvious that they will majorly fuck up human perception of reality like they did with social interactions.

Oh, and what do you think which age groups will be mostly drawn to it?

axismundi··on 'Superager' brains resist the march of time to have memories like 25-year-olds
It works on the acetylcholine system, and is implicated in cognitive enhancement.
axismundi··on I do not agree with Github's use of copyrighted code as training for Copilot
Sorry, you can't. You are not rich enough to get away with it.
axismundi··on I do not agree with Github's use of copyrighted code as training for Copilot
Smells like Microsoft
axismundi··on Safari 15 on Mac OS, a user interface mess
Hey browser vendors, GIVE US BACK THE CONTROL!

I swear it was possible in the past to drag and drop all UI elements, including the tab bar, by right-clicking the chrome and dropping into edit mode, do you remember?

axismundi··on Massachusetts health notifications app installed without users’ knowledge
> You get tons of apps installed without consent (including whatever spam your network provider pushes on you).

So you are putting this app in the same category as spam, at least that's good.

> This app can actually save lives without sacrificing any privacy, pushing it to users is something that has no drawbacks.

I have an app that can save your life, trust me. And give me your email so I can send it to you ;)

axismundi··on New browser signal could make cookie banners obsolete
Use /etc/hosts based blocking, e.g. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

This way you become mostly invisible to the ad and malware industry, no matter which browser you use.

Have JavaScript toggle next to address bar and keep JavaScript off by default. Most cookie banners will disappear.

Use Reader mode for daily news browsing. Most things will disappear except for main content. And it makes Internet less addictive.

The difference between swimming and drowning is subtle - flailing your limbs frantically vs relaxed movement. To many complex solutions will make us drown.

Consider swimming instead :)

axismundi··on Google Workspace for everyone
...and a few years later, once you have adopted it and moved your stuff into it, Google will bin it and move on to something new. No thanks, been there, done that: rss reader, wave, talk, hangouts - never again.

axismundi··on Facebook Container for Firefox
How bizarre that I desperately try to contain these monsters in digital cages, keeping them on a VPN leash, carefully adding plugins, trying to maintain delicate balance. Sometimes I try too hard, the monsters are offended, throw errors, hide the contents away. Sometimes I miss something, and they devour my privacy bit by bit, unnoticed. I spend sleepless nights scouring the internet for new codes, secret browser options, complex combinations of obscure settings.

And when I finally fall asleep, I dream of internet without the monsters.
