eik3_deon Ongoing Incident in Google Cloud

Google cloud bugtracker bug: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/270782614?pli=1

eik3_deon 1Password for SSH and Git (Beta)

I stopped using SSH keys to authenticate against GitHub years ago and switched to HTTPS authentication. It's super convenient to set up with the GitHub CLI: https://cli.github.com/manual/

Is there any advantage of using SSH keys to authenticate against GitHub?

eik3_deon What DoorDash pays, after expenses, and what’s happening with tips

I don't think most of them were in a situation to say "I want to work for free" and then chose DoorDash (per definition a for-profit job) over volunteering for charity (per definition a non-profit job). I could imagine they found the job, it generated some cash flow and only they later realized that the math doesn't work out.

eik3_deon What DoorDash pays, after expenses, and what’s happening with tips

> This begs an obvious question: why are people choosing to do this if it pays $0/hr? It’s voluntary. Can they find something better to do with their time?

Maybe because they want to do something purposeful with their life, even if it doesn't earn them any net cash? Maybe a "Thank you" and a smile from a delivery customer makes for a better day then just being "lazy" and watching TV/consuming social media?

eik3_deon Launching a weather balloon, a camera and a Raspberry Pi to the stratosphere

Launch site is only 40 km from where I live, fun to find that on HN!

If someone wonders what those lines/structures on the hills are - those are vineyards. This region (Baden) is known for very nice wines :)

Works from here.

Did you test the secondary (8.8.4.4)?

Edit: twitter says the secondary was down aswell. So I guess I'll have 208.67.222.222 (OpenDNS) as the second DNS on my systems from now.

eik3_deon Read Slowly to Benefit Your Brain and Cut Stress

That's why I wouldn't use Spritz for reading books. For me, good reading isn't the maximization of throughput from the words into my brain. Most insight comes from stopping now and then, looking out of the window and thinking about what you've just read - relating it with own experiences or current challenges.

eik3_deon Show HN: Berlin Hacker News

When you visited a profile, there was a "edit" button so that you could just change email and password of every user. The kind of bug my grandma would find just by clicking around.
