katzeillaon Wikipedia is not short on cash

> this is necessary in the modern world.

Could you elaborate on that? I really don't want to believe this is true, WMF is clearly being manipulative and a world where being manipulative is necessary sounds...extremely dystopian.

katzeillaon Show HN: What do you think of my new social app?

- your landing page says 'On Circles, your data is encrypted at rest. This means no ads or questionable business.', how does data being encrypted relate to 'no ads'?

- asking for contacts while saying nothing about how you monetize is a huge red flag to me

- since you are already using cross platform JS framework, how about making it available as a PWA? or maybe provide apk directly? google store doesn't cover a sizeable number of android devices

- your landing page still says 2021 in its footer

katzeillaon How does apt render its fancy progress bar?

... and in case you messed up your console, typing `reset` followed by enter will fix it.

Same here, I guess this is only happening in Japan.

katzeillaon Praise for Alpine Linux

I love alpine, it's such a good fit when building rootfs for embedded devices with limited ram/rom. however I wish there can be a nixOS-like way to manage my configurations.

Interesting! Those screenshots are pretty.

katzeillaon Comcast to handle DNS-over-HTTPS for Firefox-using subscribers

> And yet, here's Comcast providing a DNS-over-HTTPS service for Firefox fans, allowing it to inspect and exploit their incoming queries if it so wishes.

I feel like this made the whole DoH thing meaningless, as Comcast will still be able to collect and correlate user's identity and browsing history.

How about this APNIC blog post?

katzeillaon OpenBSD Disabled DoH by Default in Firefox

Thanks for telling me that!

I've always thought they are the same thing.

katzeillaon OpenBSD Disabled DoH by Default in Firefox

It's called TLS upstream.

(I guess DNS over https and DNS over TLS is the same thing.)

> tls-upstream: <yes or no> > Enabled or disable whether the upstream queries use TLS only for transport.

BTW, you can also use it on Linux.

katzeillaon OpenBSD Disabled DoH by Default in Firefox

Not sure about Linux/Mac/Windows, but for OpenBSD, you can simply use unbound in base system to enable DoH (EDIT: No, it's not DoH, it's DoT) for everything in your system.

I guess sometimes infinite scrolling is fine, as long as you have a "go to the last reply" btn.

katzeillaon Ask HN: How comfortable do you feel using cloud-based password managers?

I will never use any cloud based PM.

The biggest issue for me is transparency and complexity, most of them are just as "blackbox" as any other service.

I am using KeePassX with git + gpg on my own server for extra encryption and sync, this solution is simple and future-proof.

and I might switch to my own script in future, dir + txt + git + gpg should be enough.

Need a random password? cat /dev/urandom | base64 | cut 1-64

Grouping? Just different directories.

Please also remember, there is no cloud, just other people's computer.

katzeillaon Ask HN: Whats the most kick-ass Linux laptop these days?

Can you tell me what protocol are you using?

I'm using Mosh + SSH now, but latency is still a big issue, especially on mobile network.

And about gaming, how do you forward keyboard events and GUI with usable letency?

katzeillaon Ask HN: What password manager do you recommend to friends and family?

KeePass

It's cross-platform/FOSS and does not relay on cloud.

katzeillaon Ask HN: Do you trust/install Docker in your personal computer?

I don't trust Docker since I have to install it from a third party repo, so I always run it on a separate machine and use ssh to send commands.
