Works for me on FF mobile. Do you see the cookie banner initially?
mbdesign··on KeePassXC – Cross-Platform Password Manager
Same here. Been my setup for almost 10 years. Encrypted db file in an encrypted volume. Multiple offline and online backups.
mbdesign··on What's Inside the EU Green Pass QR Code?
Unless you drive by car and say you are in 'transit'. Nobody in Schengen will/can stop you (or even check). With the exception of the border police having reasonable doubt you are a border commuter/worker.
mbdesign··on Attacking the DeFi ecosystem with flash loans for fun and profit (2020)
> the problem with defi hacks, from the perspective of the hacker, is you get a bunch of eth, which is a lot harder to hide and launder than BTC.

Actually it's quite easy with something like tornado.cash.

mbdesign··on Tell HN: Thank You Dang
Thank you Dang!
mbdesign··on After losing my savings as an indie hacker, I can't do it anymore. I quit.
Would a co-founder in that case be beneficial? Assuming you both take the risk, it's less hard on you if it fails. Obviously pros and cons with this.
mbdesign··on After losing my savings as an indie hacker, I can't do it anymore. I quit.
Agree with this sentiment. When you're in the moment, it may feel as if you're loosing time. But failing should be the best school you ever have. You might had to do research on X or train some aspects of your development skills etc. You always take that with you. The experience itself, is never lost.
mbdesign··on Telegram messaging app proves crucial to Belarus protests
Prefer Signal myself too. It's a bit hard to switch over from WhatsApp and tried to use it at least with my spouse. One feature that Telegram and WhatsApp miss, is being able to send yourself a message. On Signal you can do this and it's very convenient for taking notes, sending passwords (laptop <--> phone) and for saving bookmarks. I used to share interesting bookmarks from HN to my email, but that quickly got cumbersome to sort out.
mbdesign··on Blackballed by PayPal, Sci-Hub switches to Bitcoin
Also consider using a stable coin like DAI, USDC etc if your use case is to mimick somewhat of a bank account without crazy volatility.
mbdesign··on Apple sends a letter to Hey: Change your app or get out of the App Store
I'm going to assume that Apple will do everything to maintain their cut. Even if what you said would be possible, I would expect Apple to update their terms of service to abolish it.
mbdesign··on All-in-One DNS block list
Check your Nextdns.io logs and see what gets blocked. Then add the blocked domain (or the whole root domain) to the Whitelist. The whitelist always overrides any blocklist entry.
mbdesign··on The ideal tech stack for a personal developer blog in 2020
I've started using 11ty recently and can recommend it as a Jekyll on steroids (and maintained).
mbdesign··on The Death of Couchsurfing?
Just as a note, the link in your profile to your CSS framework seems incorrect. Groeten!
mbdesign··on Analysis of dev agencies with hourly rates, team size and tech stack
My impression is that Andorra has a favourable tax regime and is close to Spain and France...
mbdesign··on Xiaomi Recording ‘Private’ Web and Phone Use
On a Xiaomi device myself. Recently I've setup Nextdns.io to resolve all the DNS requests through it. Very frequent callbacks to Xiaomi servers for tracking. Blocked a bunch of them now, but it's half a solution.
mbdesign··on The sound of the Hagia Sophia, more than 500 years ago
Great story.
mbdesign··on Merry Christmas HN
Merry Christmas from Spain! As someone else mentioned here, HN remains one of the few places I like to read everyone's comments and keep on learning.
mbdesign··on An Overview of the Monad
Didn't even know there existed a .christmas domain.
mbdesign··on Ask HN: What can Firefox do to get you to make the switch?
Same here. And I do miss it as it saves me two taps (open menu -> refresh)
mbdesign··on Ask HN: How do you organize document digests / personal knowledge?
I started using Joplin recently - https://joplinapp.org/ - it has a browser plugin. It can store things locally and then you can use the search engine to look up your bookmarks, together with your notes, tags.
mbdesign··on PayPal stops payouts to models on Pornhub
I know of Spankchain[1] who are working on solving this on the Ethereum network.

Otherwise, I see DAI token being ideal for this coupled with locking your DAI in MakerDAO [2] to earn interest.
