hundchenkatze··on GitHub Source Code Leak
Here's Reddit's announcement about going "closed source". They list similar challenges to that mentioned by the GP comment. https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/6xfyfg/an_update...
hundchenkatze··on GitHub Source Code Leak
Yep, but the article linked to by the ceo discusses section 501 which applies to copyright infringements. The riaa doesn't (that I'm aware of) have a copyright on anything in youtube-dl's repo.
hundchenkatze··on Write code that is easy to delete, not easy to extend (2016)
Interesting, it works fine on Firefox. I was able to reproduce it using Safari. After poking around I noticed it's a tumblr blog, so I tried some other tumblr blogs with the same result. It seems Tumblr's nav code does not get along with Safari/Webkit.

In what way is it broken? I was able to follow several links on their site and then use the browser's back button to get back to HN.

Seems more like random Chinese sentences, based on Google translate anyway. Which seems inline with all the other issues posted in English. I think people are just screwing around making jokes/memes on a joke/meme repo. Take this issue in English for example: "The cow has eaten the grass and gone, so there is nothing left" - https://github.com/kelseyhightower/nocode/issues/4201
hundchenkatze··on DahliaOS operating system, combining the best of GNU/Linux and Fuchsia OS
Both / something else?

"dahliaOS provides a fast and stable experience on nearly every computer, from a 2004 desktop tower to the latest generation of mobile notebooks. Our dual kernel approach allows users with new(er) hardware to take advantage of the Zircon Kernel, while maintaining support for older devices using the Linux Kernel."

hundchenkatze··on Names and Identities Change – You Should Design for That
> I thought you can at least derive location and date of birth with quite a bit of accuracy from them.

You can for numbers issued before 2011, they're random now. The first three numbers are tied to the zip code of the application and the month/year of the application can be determined by the group numbers (the two in the middle).

hundchenkatze··on ProtonMail CEO calls Apple's forced in-app purchases 'Mafia extortion'
No one forces you to shitpost with a throwaway either, yet here we are...

Then you should feel robbed when $2.40 of that goes to an unrelated company.
hundchenkatze··on Last Resort Font
It seems like it should be fine based on their acceptable use policy[0]. There is a clause about excessive bandwidth use, but nothing about what constitutes "source code."

On another note, I do not know why you were down voted. You asked a valid question.

hundchenkatze··on We Hacked Apple for 3 Months
USP is supposed to be USPS i.e. the U.S. Postal Service. It's still an odd one for sure.
hundchenkatze··on I wrote a new tool in Rust to convert M4A’s to MP3’s
It's a parked page for me too. I tried via my residential ISP and my cellular provider. Granted that's ATT and Verizon respectively, so I wouldn't be surprised in either case.

Edit: MITMing confirmed. I was able to load the site through a VPN.

This is a just a Sedo.com parked domain page for me...
hundchenkatze··on PS5 Teardown [video]
Not sure why you're getting down voted :(

I mount my TVs, but I think it could be a bit of the chicken/egg problem. TV mounts generally aren't designed to fit anything behind them, and many devices aren't designed to be mounted. I suspect this leads to many people saying "why bother with mounting if I'm going to need a cabinet to sit all my devices on, I'll just sit my TV on there too."

Why? I don't use gloves when working on my PC. Should I be wearing gloves?
hundchenkatze··on DigitalOcean App Platform
> Nothing was deployed. Zip, zero, zilch resources were used month-on-month.

This is like leasing a car, leaving it parked, and then complaining you have to pay the lease.

It's also paywalled for me.
hundchenkatze··on Microsoft to acquire ZeniMax Media and Bethesda Softworks for $7.5B
> Dear diary, I was today years old when I learned that Stardew Valley is not an indie game.

The snark was unnecessary... Thanks for the rest though.

hundchenkatze··on Microsoft to acquire ZeniMax Media and Bethesda Softworks for $7.5B
What does it mean to be an indie game developer? If you're releasing with the help of a publisher you're no longer independent.

> 7 years later Bungie left microsoft as its own company again. (not sure how that happened.

My guess is Microsoft got to keep what it really wanted, the Halo brand.

Then why did you renew? Domain squatters suck.
hundchenkatze··on Show HN: Build a DIY license plate reader with machine learning
Yeah, that's a good point. It's easy to get caught up in our little tech bubble :)

It _may_ be illegal where you live, but you have to remember that people live in other places than you, with different laws.

This is another example of what the GP comment is complaining about. It's not a DIY Alexa. Alexa is the virtual assistant API. This is a DIY Amazon Echo that still relies on the Alexa service.

Nope, you are correct. Wow, both examples from that image are wrong.

1 - Ardan Labs changed the url to https://www.ardanlabs.com/news/2020/08/caddy-server-acquired...

2, 3 - Based on the Cruchbase page for Apilayer, they were acquired by Ardan Labs yestday.(?) https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/apilayer-ltd
