doubleorseven··on Drastic increase in Tor clients from Germany
VPSs in germany are much cheaper. But I'm guessing this increase is paid with crypto or debit cards so pin pointing it to a specific provider like hetzner is hard
doubleorseven··on Putin vows to punish ‘armed uprising’ by Wagner militia
I love the fact that i got downvoted. Truly captures what i wrote :)
doubleorseven··on Putin vows to punish ‘armed uprising’ by Wagner militia
After nearly 4 years working on generating fake news, operating an army of fake accounts with a few dozen of more "real" like accounts, running an online newspaper that is the fifth most visited online newspaper in it's country (and I don't even speak it's language), let me tell you something that is the only thing you need to know when you are browsing the web - don't believe anything you are reading online.
doubleorseven··on Nvidia releases new AI chip with 480GB CPU RAM, 96GB GPU RAM
Yes, but will it blend?
doubleorseven··on Pixpaint
The fact that the information icon at the bottom is also hand drawn, makes me understand how much taught was put into this. Amazing work
doubleorseven··on My first every app. Can I live off it?
I'm an android guy but this looks really good! I made a webapp to manage my tasks and I think that the market is so full of this type of apps that you should create it only for yourself. I would definitely go with a new app. Good luck with which method that please you
doubleorseven··on Windows Sandbox
It's a great tool. We've been using it as a windows replacment for Linux live. I have 2 wishes from this feature. 1. Use more than one screen. 2. Have the ability to extend the dockerfile so i can preinstall software.
doubleorseven··on Tell HN: MailChimp blacklists your IP if you open the browser's dev tools
You create this pseudo function:

1. setTimeout to call an endpoint that will block your ip. It's set to run in 2 seconds from now. 2. Insert: debugger; 3. Clear the timeout.

Now you run this function as an interval. If the devtools is closed, debugger will be ignored and the call to this endpoint will never happen. But if it's open, the debugger will stop and the timeout will fire. Not sure if you need to patch SetTimeout to continue running while you stop but I hope you get the general idea

doubleorseven··on How to hide your IP address
AWS is the only provider who accepts prepaid cards and your name doesn't even have to be on the card. Just make sure you know the card's billing address.
doubleorseven··on Zero Trust SIM
> I hope eveyone knows that you can't as a layman register an email address or any meaningful service you depend on without a phone number

You can open a gmail account from a residential IP adress and get the phone number field as optional.

doubleorseven··on TikTok is manipulative, addictive, and harmful to privacy
I did a little experiment a while ago, I've watched only videos of girls using their body to promote their videos. I went into their accounts and watched and liked everything where body parts were a huge deal in the video. It took me an hour to have my for you page filled with girls showing off. I let the algorithm go like this for a week and then i changed tactics. Every video starting with a woman, i would swipe away. I didn't even knew what the video was about. I combined it with looking up videos about food, plants and life hacks. After an hour the girls were long gone. For a whole month the algorithm kept showing me only what i was after. Once in every 10 to 15 videos there was an ad or something super viral. Thats it.

You control the algorithm. It shows you what you want to watch not the other way around.

I also took a tcpdump while the app is closed. Oh boy.

doubleorseven··on WireGuard multihop available in the Mullvad app
"The entry WireGuard server will be able to see your source IP and which exit server the traffic is headed for, but it can’t see any of the traffic."

So server2 terminates the request twice? One for server1 and another time for the client who generated the request? I don't understand how it's possible for server1 to not be exposed to the data.

doubleorseven··on Colors.lol (2020)
I think the random link at the footer does a redirect to the random pallete so hitting the back button keeps you in the loop
doubleorseven··on Show HN: Metaheads, a search engine for Facebook comments in the US
so if i'm not from or don't care about US pages, can you at least share some info about what you do there? I'm guessing GQL but I'm just guessing.
doubleorseven··on Show HN: Vado – A platform to encourage people to cycle and walk more
Seems like someone took over their email account. Got some real wierd looking urls.
doubleorseven··on Gmail password first character is case insensitive on mobile device
They send it once over the wire but salt it twice if the first attempt fails and the request originated from a mobile app. UX is all around us.
doubleorseven··on Kanye West AI in JavaScript (React and TFJS)
The UI is bad but also amazing at the same time. Am I getting old? I love black and white websites and the text made me laugh
doubleorseven··on How to stream media using WebRTC and FFmpeg, and why it's a bad idea
Isn't Opus the only codec WebRTC supports? If so, I think it's another main parameter to note.
doubleorseven··on How WhatsApp works with other Facebook products
I've deleted my WhatsApp account 2 months ago even though I also live in a country where WhatsApp is mandatory.

How am I doing so far: * I miss a lot of work stuff even though some update me on the important stuff through Signal. * I lost contact with friends I can't communicate with anymore. * I feel that I have more free time to focus on my family and close friends. Probably because my neighbors can't sneak into my head with things that don't really effect me. * The frequency I check my phone dropped by 80%. * Since I closed my instagram account and Facebook acount 8 years ago, I am now "Zuckerberg free".

It's hard but It's Worth it.

doubleorseven··on Journalists Hacked with Suspected NSO Group iMessage ‘Zero-Click’ Exploit
The "aid" money must be use to buy weapons from America, a thing that highly support it's industry and give jobs to tens of thousands of americans.
doubleorseven··on AirPods Max
Everyone is commenting on the price but what about the buttons on top of the ear cap? Do you grab the entire cap and press? I don't get this design. Am I the only one here how feels this needs to be answered?
doubleorseven··on Show HN: Search code in GitHub repos using regular expressions
My last name(Ament) is really rare where I come from, so I've used the tool to find other people with the same last name. Was not disappoint. Thank you!
doubleorseven··on The Political History of Pad Thai
In my experience I never hear the 'D'. It's like it's dropped and you are left with "Pa Thai". Maybe it's because the letters sound the same and the flow of speak takes it away.
doubleorseven··on A new school curriculum
Like your display name suggest, Remembering people's name/face/"where you've first met" is one of those social abilities that can get you very far in life. So yeah, remembering is kinda something you should practice.
doubleorseven··on Lua 5.4.0 beta
I use it as a stateless HTTPS load balancer in NGINX where all the certs are stored on S3/GCS.
doubleorseven··on I Quit Social Media for a Year
I have a question for you. When you recreated the account on facebook, did you got your old timeline back? And if so, did they try to fill the missing year with photos you were in that were uploaded to their servers or some other information they picked on you while you were gone? (I closed my account 7 years ago and I'm curious to know what happens)
doubleorseven··on Show HN: I trained a deep learning model to build sites for me
Wow, nice work! I used to work for Webydo on the part that translate the DB to static files, tons of work and the result was basically an "uneditable HTML blob".

I would really love to see the output zip file, any change you have something less complicated that goes responsive to show?

doubleorseven··on I’m not really a good web developer, I'm just good at Googling things
Yes exactly. The future of schools will have to integrate "knowing how to find something quickly and efficiently" into it's core along side "doubt anything you find online".
doubleorseven··on Libra White Paper
during the ICO era i used to read 2-3 whitepapers per day. It usually was all about decentralization and "how we are going to change the world", and then right after the sale it will be like "well the world is not ready and blockchain is not there yet so we are starting with centralization" ( in the few cases the product was not fraud). now, since all the fiat is coming in without a need for an ICO it looks like facebook is not even trying to hide their true intents. They are just saying it to my face, "We are trying to increase your dependency in our products and on the way creating a new financial device for the big guys to earn more money on your behalf". I truly hope this initiative will get blocked by the people who FB think they can fool again.
doubleorseven··on Better web video with AV1 codec
"in theory, it does not matter, but MP4 is recommended and seems to be the most popular at the moment."

If I'm not mistaking, the <video> tag can't play MOV[0] so MP4 is the way to go.
