hrrsn··on Webtop – Alpine,Ubuntu,Fedora,and Arch containers containing full desktop envs
I had the same thing happen to me. I tried running a script for a month without luck (Sydney region). What did work was adding a credit card to upgrade to a paid account - no issues launching an instance, and it's still covered under the free tier.
hrrsn··on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops
We've had production outages caused by Microsoft Defender our RHEL boxes :(
hrrsn··on TinyPod – Apple Watch case with scroll wheel
Amazing, they've reinvented a taxi.
hrrsn··on The /unblock API from Browserless: dodging bot detection as a service
Not OP, but I do the same for ~7 accounts across 5 institutions. There's no need to contact them since you can manually download the statements, but it's a chore if you're doing it frequently. I usually run my script a few times a week.

hrrsn··on Vultr CDN
Appending /cdn-cgi/trace is also a good tell.

hrrsn··on A hacked Microsoft test account was assigned admin privileges
Some years ago, I was working at a small retail store and we built a new site, going live with Stripe in test mode. That one took a few months to notice.
hrrsn··on Cyberattack – November 2023
Wouldn't be the first time: https://www.tripwire.com/state-of-security/mirai-iot-hijacki...

> Jha and White co-founded a company called ProTraf Solutions, which provided anti-DDoS services to Minecraft servers. Nothing wrong with that, of course. But in order to create new customers, the pair started targeting websites with DDoS attacks and then either tried to extort money to call off the attacks or offered services which they claimed could defend the sites.

hrrsn··on YouTube is now blocking ad blockers so I make ads run faster
There's nothing stopping you from signing up in a different market and paying $2 ;)
hrrsn··on Charging a lithium battery to 80% only?
Probably not, seeing as that's not enough power to charge it up.
hrrsn··on Raspberry Pi receives strategic investment from Arm
Check out some of the RK3588-based SBCs. The Orange Pi 5 Plus is a fantastic alternative to the Raspberry Pi 5 if you're okay with a bit of fiddling as mainline kernel support is still a work in progress.
hrrsn··on Zima Board – Hackable Single Board Server
Calling it a server is not the same as saying server grade hardware.
hrrsn··on Show HN: Pākiki Proxy – An intercepting proxy for penetration testing
Awesome - love the te reo name!
hrrsn··on How to find a lost phone in a no-cell-coverage camping site?
They seem to come up in the home page deals section quite often for me. I grabbed a couple that were $3.50 a pop, and so far they've behaved exactly like an Airtag (albeit with a worse speaker)
hrrsn··on Intel Launches Intel Core 14th Gen Desktop Processors for Enthusiasts
I have a i9-12900HK running Proxmox and it's been absolutely perfect.
hrrsn··on Lenovo PC boss: 4 in 5 of our devices will be repairable by 2025
Many components in an iPhone are paired to the logic board from the factory, so if they need to be replaced you have no choice but to go down the Apple sanctioned repair path (although the third party industry goes to great lengths to work around it). Some components, like the display, will show a warning notification in iOS for weeks and disable features like True Tone and auto-brightness if swapped with a third party part. Other components such as the cameras can't even be swapped between 100% genuine iPhones.

The iPhone 6 disabled Touch ID when the home button was replaced but it'd still function fine as a button - until you restored the phone, which would fall over with an arbitrary error code forcing you to take the phone in to Apple for repair. There was a lot of backlash before they caved and fixed the update process: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2016/feb/05/error-53-apple...

hrrsn··on Dara Khosrowshahi had a stint driving for Uber and delivering for Uber Eats
The rebate I mentioned is NZ$7,000, bringing the total to USD$37,000. My memory wasn't far off.

That'd be because I don't live in the US.

The one I was looking at when I wrote that comment has (unsurprisingly) sold already, but it was 3 years old, 23k miles, with a small scratch on the bumper for $39k NZD. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/tesla/model-3/listin...

Competition working as intended

In either case they'll still be spending tens of thousands on a vehicle (and dealing with the depreciation), but I'd imagine the fuel saving calculations pay off a lot quicker for a taxi than they would for most people.

As an aside, locally the Model 3 starts at around $35k USD after rebates. <2 year old used models are around the $23k USD mark. We have a /lot/ of Teslas running around as Ubers now.

hrrsn··on UTM – Virtual Machines for iOS and macOS
Yes, the process is the same as any other Linux desktop environment.

There are a bunch of VM images you can download at https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/

hrrsn··on Block YouTube ads on AppleTV by decrypting and stripping ads from Profobuf
If your root CA private key is compromised, there's a risk that a threat actor could generate certificates that your device will trust for any domain.

MITMProxy is a pretty well known and trusted open source project, but I wrote my own proxy to keep Apollo alive.

hrrsn··on Tell HN: t.co is adding a five-second delay to some domains
Safari seems to be caching it for me, but I can reproduce the delay every time with curl - so long as the user agent doesn't include the string "curl".
hrrsn··on Navigating the timezone nightmare in product development
> the UTC+12 timezone is completely uninhabited

New Zealand would like a word.

hrrsn··on CIQ, Oracle, SUSE Create Open Enterprise Linux Association
You can sign up for the developer license and install it on up to 16 machines, after that you need to pay
hrrsn··on The Reddit blackout will continue
Remove the mods, and replace them with who, exactly? They've pissed off everyone that was offering free labour.
hrrsn··on Apollo will close down on June 30th
The "Pro" tier was a one-off payment at one point in time, but at some point this switched to a monthly subscription. Previous owners were grandfathered in.
hrrsn··on Try Galaxy: A web app to demo Samsung’s OS on an iPhone
I was given an S21 FE for work last year and I tried giving it an honest shot (similarly resetting it in the hopes it would improve) but after a few months I gave up and put the work SIM in my personal iPhone.
hrrsn··on Microsoft: Windows 10 22H2 is the final version of Windows 10
You're limited to 300 users on Microsoft 365 Business Premium, anyone over this limit will be on Microsoft 365 Enterprise, which includes an Windows Enterprise license.

Or, you know, most enterprises.
