I would say: don't be productive. Use that time to read books you never took time to, watch shows you didn't either.

In my opinion, being productive is not about squeezing as much as we can in our days, but being in the right mindset and taking breaks.

I don't agree with the tweet. I think that on the contrary, it brings attention to the permissions that are granted.

Way too many people blindly accept those without reading.

Putting a joke there might draw their attention so they actually read what's in it..

Gmail filters way more than it is supposed to do. You can have a valid DKIM and DMARC and still be filtered out if your mail server doesn't rank high enough in their list.

And I'd like to specify that I'm talking about inter-personal casual communication - nothing commercial, not link, no attachments.

I have to request a proof of reading to be sure my emails get through with GMail.

I'm really pleased with the Dell XPS line - and in term of OS I would recommend Fedora or Debian.

I believe that your CLI tools are not set up to use your personal VPN - so they default to your company one and get MITM attacked.

Thank - you - so - much.

I was precisely looking for a better service than pastebin - specifically when it comes to APIs

Does it have a public repo though?

Hey - it fails:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://us-central1-steamosaic.cloudfunctions.net/mosaic. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing).

I knew it! I KNEW IT!

Aliens are terraforming (or rather exoplanetforming) earth to make it habitable for them!

That would be the best thing that could ever happen.

Refusal of service?

I don't know anything that would make people run to another service faster.

Hey, yes, you should totally tell them you're waiting to hear from another company and will gladly get back to them as soon as possible.

That might even push them to step up their offer.

Nice project! Just wanted to mention: Logflare is free, but CloudFlare workers are not. Thanks for sharing!

Contemplating your paycheck and do what you like on the side - that's my way of coping with contractor work.

But I know it can't be long term though.

Comments are hell - so I made this component that stores them in localStorage - so you can only see your comments. Was for fun.

Is this an ad?

Unroll.me is owned by Rakuten, and they clearly state that they extract stats and trends from your transactional and commercial emails.

Not really - some webmail clients act like they have one but they almost never works.

The other way is when you create an account somewhere, first thing you have to do is to go in their privacy and / or notifications settings. Stop it at the source.

I didn't.

Or rather I took back control. I have now 2 email addresses - one for humans, one for the rest.

And I systematically unsubscribe from every email I don't want to receive (gosh I miss Europe for that), I delete everything that I have no reason to keep, and I archive anything that needs to be kept.

It demands a lot of effort at the beginning. But now my inbox is useful again.

This is / was my issue with work.

I (used to) invest my self a lot in my work. I didn't count the hours, was underpaid, was doing 4 times more than my position described.

And I was promised a lot of things! I was thoroughly thanked by my immediate management. I was promised a raise and a promotion. But ultimately they always expected me to bend when my suggestions didn't fit with their immediate vision.

I left (and did they cried about it, telling me I was wonderful etc.), and I landed way better jobs, way better paid.

I figured that I was the problem, for accepting those conditions. Why would a company want me to work less for more money? When I'm already working so much, for so little.

I stopped doing that. I refused offers because they couldn't offer enough (like expecting a lead dev / senior dev for the pay of a junior), even if I loved their product or company!

So my advice is leave. And don't even look behind.

I needed a Dynamic DNS service for a couple of devices I had in my DMZ, but most free services requires you to confirm the hostname manually regularly, or include some kind of restriction.

I use Cloudflare for some domains, and I dug in their APIs to make my own DDNS.

It should be easily to adapt it to fit other DNS APIs, feel free to contribute!

I see your point.

Let's say that my consumption of HN is not social media-y - I don't care about the people that post, it took me 3 days to see your answer because I was checking for answers on another thread, and my focus on HN is content, not people.

I do understand what you mean. IMO, HN is closer to crowd sourced information than personal branding and personality cults that I see in 'social media' sites.

But there I am, answering to your comment. I am dooooooomed.

Cool, thank you!

Ohai HN.

Out of curiosity one day I started grabbing from my devices / servers logs the login attempts that were made.

From there I made a list of the IPs that tried to log in the most, and the user that was used.

I made a nice map that you can see on the repo - and feel free to suggest a use / improvement - or to contribute with your logs too (just the IPs and users, not your original logs files - see the README).

Cheers.

I'm not on social media for a reason, that kind of features is part of the reasons I stay away from them.

So no. If someone really wants to engage with me, they can leave a comment... that I will see or not.

Well, if I can ditch chromium, I'm all for it. Will look into it.

Uh. My comment may become 'more' true if the Brexit does happen then.

Doing everything by the book, or according to the guidelines some random person published on Medium last Wednesday is a luxury we don't all have.

You have the merit of having done all that, and it works.

Now, sure, don't we all, to some extent, want to change everything when we arrive in a new environment? IMO, it comes down to a couple of things:

- Who make the choices of refactoring an app or not?

- What's the company roadmap.

To avoid being showed the door, I would advise you to support refactoring. Show enthusiasm and support. You could be the guy with the knowledge on how everything has been done and why, and that is greatly valued if the decision to refactor some app is made.

Eventually, the decision to do so will depend on time and money.

Oh in Western Europe you'll be mostly fine. But I can tell you I noticed the change when I moved to the US. I had no mean to change my ISP-provided router DNS settings, and I couldn't access certain sites, while other would land me on pages filled with ads.

VIM! (I'm almost joking)
