ctnb··on Ask HN: Passive income with 1 Gb/s and 10 TB storage?

ctnb··on Ask HN: Which Coursera courses/specializations you recommend?
Software Design and Architecture Specialization: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/software-design-arc...

I learned so much in these courses that cover OOD, design patterns, and architecture in a real world and practical way. I found it one of the best taught courses I've taken.

Same for me - this can be called the "Illusion of Competence" and is discussed by Barbara Oakley in her book "Learning How to Learn."
ctnb··on Ask HN: Password manager with best experience on Linux?
I'm also a big fan of Bitwarden. I use it on Linux, my wife uses it on macOS, and we both use it on iOS. It allows us to share passwords seamlessly across all platforms.

I also like the command-line app that I can integrate into dmenu and the fact that it allows self-hosting.

ctnb··on Use DuckDuckGo to improve your privacy online (2018)
I'm glad most a lot of these comments are saying DDG works for them; I still have a lot of issues with the search quality and switched to Startpage a while ago which uses anonymized google results.
ctnb··on UBlock Origin 1.17.4 released
I don't see anyone mentioning the ability to store about:config settings in a user.js file.

Unless you have some reason not to use it, it's much easier than changing about:config on each computer, you just copy over the user.js file.

Here's a hardened option (no affiliation): https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js

And a relaxed version: https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/tree/relaxed

ctnb··on Why I’m done with Chrome
You have to use Firefox Developer Edition and change 'xpinstall.signatures.required' to True in about:config
