hruzgar··on Framework Laptop 16
Not specifically about the new laptop but will you guys ever do a 15 inch non-gaming laptop that looks similar to a macbook? I really want to buy one of your products but 13 inch is a bit too small for me while the Laptop 16 is a bit too bulky.
hruzgar··on Meta torrented & seeded 81.7 TB dataset containing copyrighted data
So true. It seems like there is a controlled operation to shut open models down starting with Meta. Obviously they can't go after deepseek atm

So US has nuclear bombs, but japan is somehow not allowed to make their own? Seems like controlled oppression to me

Yeah this is actually crazy.

What's the point in "privacy friendly" if you're backing up to google?

this is really interesting!
hruzgar··on Show HN: Kyoo – Self-hosted media browser (Jellyfin/Plex alternative)
I'm using the time skip/seek functions more than I should and Plex, Jellyfin, Emby are really not good in that department. I was WAITING for somebody to fix this problem. Plex, Jellyfin, etc. None of them came close to the youtube experience. It always felt very slow and clunky. I can't thank you enough for this really. Thank you very much for addressing this issue and creating this amazing project!
hruzgar··on Show HN: Kyoo – Self-hosted media browser (Jellyfin/Plex alternative)
vau. after having used plex, jellyfin and emby, the video player seems very responsive and good designed. Time skipping is almost instant and the interface seems fairly clean. Thanks for the great work!

Do you even know the tech behind crypto? Just because scammers and similar people use and promote it, doesn't make it a bad technology at all.
hruzgar··on Ente: Open-Source, E2E Encrypted, Google Photos Alternative
no, takeout gives you the full quality. All other ways of accessing your photos from the api (there is some github projects) don't give you the full quality images though.

But with takeout the problem is that all dates and metadata gets messed up. I had to learn this the hard way. There is some tools that somehow correct the dates. But it's not perfect and I wouldn't really want my photos to be locked up like that. What if google decides to discontinue Google Takeout? Or just give you lower quality pictures after some point? You really are not safe.

Since that experience I moved to onedrive temporarily because it's a bit safer solution for now until all of these new services get stable (immich, ente, etc). Onedrive let's you access you photos like normal Onedrive files so that's really good. I know microsoft will have my data now and sync is also not perfect. So it's definitely not perfect. But I had to move to something else before the better solutions emerge.

hruzgar··on Italian Piracy Shield Adds Cloudflare IP Thus Blocking many Websites
I'm sure there are better ways to deal with this. You have to be careful with this because sometimes the people who create the solution (censorship) are also the ones creating the problem. I'm not saying that's the case.. But if we don't want a completely censored internet in the next few years we have to be careful.
hruzgar··on Italian Piracy Shield Adds Cloudflare IP Thus Blocking many Websites
yeah kinda true. But if you had a whitelist (i know this would be very hard to maintain etc) instead of a blacklist, you could have the most secure network blocker ever created for consumers. Malware could still leak from some of the "safe" domains but it would definitely be A LOT safer than any conventional ip or dns blocking.

This is very concerning!
hruzgar··on Sandspiel
yes me too lol
hruzgar··on Italian Piracy Shield Adds Cloudflare IP Thus Blocking many Websites
Yeah true. governments shouldn't filter. But you definitely want to filter tracking, ads, malware etc in your home network.
hruzgar··on Italian Piracy Shield Adds Cloudflare IP Thus Blocking many Websites
There is a possibility of doing it. Or better said I had an idea the last few months on how to possibly do this. I have written a detailed explanation here if anybody wants to see it:

https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/why-did-nobody-do-this-d...

The idea basically is to block all ip's which weren't resolved by the dns server in past specific time period (for example in the last 3 minutes). So all static ip's would be blocked by default. When a domain get's resolved by the dns server, the ip address gets to the whitelist for a specific amount of time.

There is some issues. For example if somebody downloads something, the ip address might only get resolved once but the download happens by directly connecting to the ip address. But I think these issues are definitely solvable.

Would be interested to hear other peoples thoughts on this.

edit: of course this is for home network filtering purposes. If governments did this we are not in a good position.

Yes. Hopefully!

They probably found her identity a different way but only show this to the public (she most likely is 'Anna')

do you also have vim support? This is crucial for me

im not the dev but what you're wanting is completely unreasonable. No note application does this and this would slow down the application without having any additional benefits
hruzgar··on Best Cross-Plattform Desktop Application Framework
Hi HN!

After reading about RewindAI here and the last few hn articles about open source alternatives, I explored cross-platform desktop frameworks to make this accessible to more people and shared my thoughts on Reddit. Keen to hear your perspectives as well. Thanks for checking it out!

for now it's easy to catch up. But after a few months they will be so far in the sky from all the vc money that it will be tremendously harder. Like the M1 chip for example
