djvdorp··on Ask HN: Why did Microsoft, Meta, and PayPal update their ToS today?
This WhatsApp one might be related too, just popped up for me. I know it's Meta nowadays: https://faq.whatsapp.com/781249240131848/

Oh wow, I remember jarland from LowEndTalk.com, can definitely vouch for him. Quite an interesting interview with him about MXroute there: https://lowendbox.com/blog/interview-qa-with-mxroute-owner-j...
djvdorp··on Ask HN: Which document management system with OCR do you use?
There apparently also is paperless-ng: https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng

And this slightly older FileBasedMiniDMS: https://github.com/stweiss/FileBasedMiniDMS

I tried both Mayan and Paperless (regular) myself to replace my Evernote Premium setup, they haven't convinced me yet.

I am currently trying out https://github.com/jbarlow83/OCRmyPDF myself (had to fork it to add my own language to the Dockerfile) and then will either let my NAS index it afterwards or Dropbox/Nextcloud maybe. Apparently locally they get indexed very well with either Gnome (Linux) or Finder (Mac) or Explorer (Windows).

The service is currently overloaded.

djvdorp··on Linux Journal Ceases Publication: An Awkward Goodbye
Yeah, too bad. Worked fine in qBittorrent though.

But I wanted to seed it for a while via Transmission on one of my servers, that is not gonna fly now for me unfortunately.

Thanks for the mirroring effort!

djvdorp··on Show HN: Millow – Stay connected with your inner circle
I like the idea, reminds me of the "Smart Contact Reminder" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.barta.stayi...) app for Android. Too bad this one is not available for Android (yet?). However, there is definitely a market for a Personal CRM like this. Desktop access would be great. Maybe even like a web-app like Tinyblue (https://tinyblu.com)?

The ePub's look rather okay!
djvdorp··on Hetzner Cloud
Is there a migration path for customers like us that currently own a CX10 vServer to, let's say, a new CX11 Cloudnode that is half the price?

djvdorp··on Researcher Who Stopped WannaCry Ransomware Detained in US After Def Con
Maybe this is the reason he did not appreciate people revealing his identity online (basically DOXing him for fun, some journalist did it if I recall correctly). It really sucks when somebody that is trying to do well (stopping the WannaCry Ransomware as he did) is detained, even though we don't know more details at this points, this hits him rather personally and probably not for the good, I am very sorry for him and I hope he gets out soon and that all is well.

This has gotta be the funniest blogpost in years, yet so legit that it makes one sad how easy it is to pull this off.
djvdorp··on Blood from young animals can revitalise old ones
The title gives me quite the Orphan Black feeling here. Very interesting.

djvdorp··on Show HN: Scary Productive – Aversion therapy for your procrastination problems
Is there a demo video available for this?
djvdorp··on Nginx 1.13 released with TLS 1.3 support
I think Caddy is doing a lot of things pretty great (including having a very large amount of cool features and a very simple configuration syntax).

However, honestly, I don't dare to use it on "big" production sites yet (besides maybe my blog), because for example packaging [0] still isn't tackled or clear at this point in time (and if Caddy wants to also gain traction on "big" production websites, this matters, because these are often not just run by devs, but sysops/devops people that will, very likely, never wget a binary because [insert one or more of valid reasons]). I think Matt (mholt) said that they will work this out when Caddy will hit 1.x, but for me it is a showstopper atm. Also if you read the topic from top to bottom you will notice that there seems to be no clear vision, not even for a base-caddy OS package or PPA.

Before this comment is considered negative, please know that I am actually a Contributor to the Caddy project (yet I have only contributed to the Init/Service Scripts), and a passive reader of the packaging discussion mentioned earlier, trying to come up with a great idea there to tackle that one point that I think will make Caddy's growth accelerate very quickly for "big" production websites.

djvdorp··on Streama – A self-hosted streaming application with your own media library
Good to have more alternatives for Plex and Emby, but without having native apps for almost all architectures in use, mobile apps and Chromecast support it has quite a long way to go. But I love FOSS alternatives so keep it up!
