hncensorsnonpc··on Why not “Why not WireGuard?”
In his "L.T. on git" talk at google Torvalds said he used SHA1 not for security, that that would be elsewhere but he called sha1 the best (I think even most secure) hash out there. The serious most well know sha1 flaw was not discovered at that time AFAIK so not sure what you mean by already known as weak. And the fact that 3 years later git has not been broken proves its security does not rely on sha1 alone. I did not even know they are working on a change but good and makes sense of course.
hncensorsnonpc··on Scientists: No Proof Covid-19 Escaped from a Wuhan Lab. Rumor Spread Anyway
No proof does not mean its not very likely. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fPUfcoHW87I
hncensorsnonpc··on Permanent.org – Nonprofit, secure cloud storage
Well yes but I heard that b4. You should just put on your calendar to plug them in (and update the backup) once in a while. I do not think it is about mechanical robustness. It is about the way the data is stored with magnetic tech, it think HDDs should be operated every once in a while to have a better chance of not loosing the data. But 9 days sounds awfully short.
hncensorsnonpc··on Show HN: I made a Chrome extension to stop mindless browsing
I am absolutely hopeless YouTube addict. The first review says you can set breaks compared to other blockers. I have Leechblock setup in a way with dynamic "breaks" I give myself 1,5 hours on YouTube and other blocked sites every 4 hours. Problem is I cheat myself by using the "overwrite feature to give me another 9 minutes again and again. I caught myself just switching to another browser its really really bad. How could this be different?
hncensorsnonpc··on Ask HN: Why do you avoid Telegram, arguably one of the best cloud messengers?
Why is this utterly stupid question coming up again and again? Go ask your peers/yourself why feel the need to share all of your conversations with the government and other 3rd parties who in the best case just want to sell you shit.
hncensorsnonpc··on Deadly pathogens have escaped the lab over and over again (2019)
W8 but FB "fact checker" who worked at the lab said it can't be because they were cautious https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fPUfcoHW87I and this is from 2019 so it can't possibly be the case for covid-19
hncensorsnonpc··on Teenager threatened by a deputy after posting about her Covid-19 infection
Disorderly conduct is a pathetic law corrupt police use for everything they do not like. They do not care because they can shoot innocent people and get a played vacation as a thank you. They never have to pay, people always sue the state and the taxpayers pay for mistakes the corrupt cops do regularly. The worst thing that can happen to a corrupt cop is they get fired but immediately rehired in the next town. I saw many cases of this. The US police loves criminals because they are a criminal gang.
hncensorsnonpc··on Kiwi Browser - Android Chrome based browser with extensions support
?? Brave already has chrome extension support. I do not get why this is highlighted as something special for chromium based browsers.
hncensorsnonpc··on The Best Tech Talks, Ever
I love the Linus on got talk, video quality is horrible but he is so insulting to SVN its so funny. He and only he is allowed be this arrogant and rude because he is so right.
hncensorsnonpc··on Customizing Your Shell
Summary: Install Oh my ZSH and never look back (Did it already)
hncensorsnonpc··on BitTorrent, Inc continues no-acknowledgement IPFS fork under branding “BTFS”
I doubt it without reading that click bait article forking it legally = acknowledgement. Guess the did not put in some big announcement headline.
hncensorsnonpc··on January 2018 US diplomatic cables warned of coronavirus leaking from Wuhan lab
But how fast they jumped on all these -CIA term used to discredit people with valid concerns- when they said that. Now ever the MSM writes about it. I won't read WSJ anyway.
hncensorsnonpc··on Ask HN: Does anybody need any help?
I am afraid I am gonna die from depression. Help!
hncensorsnonpc··on Stop Spreading C**p at my $HOME
This disgusting urge to self censor stems from big tech censoring the entire content for it or at least shadowing it or negative effects in algos. I fucking hate it. Worst offender the word "darn” or whatever theses pussies use instead of damn. Seriously is you culture this pathetic that you can't even say DAMN IT anymore.
hncensorsnonpc··on Riot Games newest title “Valorant” installs kernel driver to run anti-cheat
Dude you pay a company to install a kernel module in your PV that got sued for running a bitcoin miner on peoples systems. I have to say some people just deserve what is coming to them. Bad luck to you.
hncensorsnonpc··on Ask HN: Play Store removed our app, but allows WhatsApp
I hope to god fdroid does not allow this. They will probably newer open source their build app and let fdroid build it anyway.
hncensorsnonpc··on Ask HN: Play Store removed our app, but allows WhatsApp
Dude you LOST, you and India's laws are morally bankrupt about it, you are NOT heroic! You claim that your customers are not poor but by definition you stupid lending app is praying in the poor and low IQ people to make you money. STOP
hncensorsnonpc··on Ask HN: Play Store removed our app, but allows WhatsApp
Such issues? Accommodate them? What are you even saying, you purposefully cause those issues. People should contact you AFTER it happened to ask "please do not contact my contacts" or what?
hncensorsnonpc··on Ask HN: Play Store removed our app, but allows WhatsApp
Yeah I am sick of this excuse. I have seen it a lot around privacy issues. People always say things like "everyone including google is doing it so its perfectly ethical to copy them".
hncensorsnonpc··on He Could Have Seen What Was Coming: Behind Trump’s Failure on the Virus
Oh NYT using everything for Trump bashing and HN user ignoring the rules to not post mayor political mainstream news. What a surprise.
hncensorsnonpc··on Fossil: A decentralized version control, bug tracking, and wiki software
How is it decentralized, I did not find that out from the homepage.
hncensorsnonpc··on Ask HN: Why not harness Gym energy?
Having not read anything about it. Why is it just PR? What energy does a gym need? Solar and Homan power should be more then enough to power a few LED lights and a fridge or something.
hncensorsnonpc··on Show HN: Rewind – Your bookmarks, by date, with thumbnails and instant search
Firefox
hncensorsnonpc··on Let's Stop the 5G Hysteria: Understanding Hoaxes and Disinformation Campaigns
It is not a hoax to be concerned! To say it causes C19 is something else but even on this highly biased HN I have seen people with brains link to the studies that show how it clearly can be harmful! This urge to focus on people who spin it further and use them to dismiss valid concern pisses me off!
hncensorsnonpc··on Twitter Removes Privacy Option, and Shows Why We Need Strong Privacy Laws
The EU is a deeply corrupt elitist institution designed to take control over Europe. But there are a few good things like this, food regulation ... that come from it.
hncensorsnonpc··on Power vs. Speed: The Xbox Series X And PS5 are different animals
Clickbait article, they are very similar. On PC the CPU was hardly ever the bottleneck so I expect not much from the options MS is offering there.
hncensorsnonpc··on Saudi Arabia ripped off my open-source app and published it on the App Store
Somebody else said it already. Your "no commercial use" comment is silly and void by making it GPLv3. You cannot have it both ways. You have your point about tivoisation or appstore incompatibility, remove that silly comment from the readme.
hncensorsnonpc··on Andrew Yang says the coronavirus outbreak shows why we need basic income
Can you elaborate on "legally agreed". She was openly talking to lots of alternative media about the currupt establishment and how the DNC does not want her. She should "illegally" support Sanders or nobody. She would got lot of press for it. Super disappointed with her, there was also this Israel Gaza thing where she voted wrong and disappointed me already but I could let that slide. I will never put my hope into any politician anymore. The system is broken and even the outcasts who are, at least when they start out, for the people pathetically cave to it. Same for Sanders, he endorsed Hillary - pathetic!
hncensorsnonpc··on Microsoft Edge is becoming the browser you didn’t know you needed
This is a advertising. And no thanks, I stick to Firefox.
hncensorsnonpc··on Twitter Deletes Giuliani Tweet Pushing Misinformation and Attack on MI Governor
If this is correct, I still think its wrong. It is a loophole to me. They should not have that power to editorialize. In the next cases we may see them just declaring their opinion as "right" and everything else will be deleted. Assuming this thine it really was wrong what he tweet, not looked into it yet.
