gilad··on Easy HTTPS for your private networks
MiniCA[0] works for this, quite trivial to setup and stamp out certs.

gilad··on Invisibility Training for Motorcyclists [video]
In general, FortNine's channel[0] is incredibly informative and entertaining; many comments on his videos suggest people watch without even riding a motorcycle. See his educational, elaborate explanations of the physics of riding, market/business aspects (esp. interesting is relationship between motorcycle dealerships and manufacturers), reviews, and much more. Well worth exploring.

Pls consider submitting the link above as a standalone HN item, it’s great
gilad··on Amazon details its low-bandwidth Sidewalk neighborhood network
Are there legal implications on an ISP subscriber if illegal activity is conducted via their network? I would very much mind sharing a ‘small fraction of bandwidth’ while having arbitrarily large legal exposure.

I call this Hi-jacking
gilad··on Ask HN: Best practices for ethical web scraping?
As for delete, use authenticated DELETE, not POST, it’s why its there in the first place

Packaging is definitely recognized as an issue; e.g. here: https://cecinestpasun.com/entries/where-do-you-see-python-in...
gilad··on Dogs’ Eyes Have Changed Since Humans Befriended Them
agreed, see my comment above to the initial and justified complaint.
gilad··on Dogs’ Eyes Have Changed Since Humans Befriended Them
[poster here]: Interesting find - my phone showed the title as 'Why Do Dogs Look So Sad?', where the actual article's title is different. Looking at the page's source code under the <title> tag shows these are different. I chose the shorter version (nevermind dropping the 'so' in 'so sad' cause that's really click-bait-y). My assumption was that readers would know that the source (the Atlantic) is a reputable publication and assume the article is of substance. It's interesting that even the Atlantic needs to resort to changing the title to get those coveted clicks. In the future, i'll strictly post the _actual title_ over to HN submission.
gilad··on Gail.com, the Gmail “Typo”
Interesting to read their FAQ, I suspect they could have made a fair bit of $$ just by placing some ads, but are not doing that..
