Hacker News Reader

I installed 26.04 on one of my laptops last night.

The latest version of PrivateInternetAccess doesn't seem to run (the window never opens).

I also could not get my wifi connection to use my local DNS server.

foxwolfon Synology reverses policy banning third-party HDDs

I have a Synology device in my home that we had been planning to upgrade. They may have reversed the ban, but I think Synology has landed on my boycott-for-life list over this BS.

foxwolfon Framework Laptop 16

I've really wanted a Framework laptop ever since they became available, however as a power user with poor eyesight, anything less than 17" is an automatic deal-breaker for me. I need the text to be legible if a full page is displayed in a PDF reader that's snapped to fill half the screen.

foxwolfon The wire that transforms much of Manhattan into one big, symbolic home (2017)

I'm pretty sure that if there is a god, then the act of deliberately subverting what you believe to be his laws by exploiting what you perceive to be a technicality for your own convenience isn't going to work out in your favor in the end.

foxwolfon Modification of acetaminophen to reduce liver toxicity and enhance drug efficacy

All my life, I've suffered from frequent (as in daily) headaches. I even have a photo of myself from my 10th birthday (or thereabouts), where you can visibly tell from how I'm holding my head that I had a headache. The nature and intensity of my headaches has changed over time.

In my 20's I discovered Excedrin (acetaminophen + caffeine) and, surprisingly, it not only worked, but worked very well. One tablet would kill most of headaches I was having at that time of my life in about 15 minutes.

Unfortunately, it stopped working for me by the time I was 30. It no longer has any noticeable effect.

Aspirin, Naproxen, Ibuprofin, and Tylenol 3 have no effect, either.
