metadaemon··on Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here?

metadaemon··on Against Alcohol (2022)
Weed is better in the states from that perspective. The best option is probably just working out though. Lifting can produce some fairly nice endorphins.
metadaemon··on Bluesky facing degraded performance due to record high traffic
Hello best friend, you think I’m pretty cool right? That’s great because I’d love an invite :)
metadaemon··on Gping – ping, but with a graph
Going makes me think of Google, graping would have been a fun name.
metadaemon··on Show HN: Halloy – A GUI Application in Rust for IRC
Well not sure how possible that is with the current YAML implementation of config.
metadaemon··on Show HN: Halloy – A GUI Application in Rust for IRC
As a suggestion, you might want to modify the default config, I see a lot of people logging into #rust as the `halloy` user.
metadaemon··on Kagi raises $670k
I pay for Kagi, love it and use it every single day. It's a full blown replacement for Google and my searches tend to trend more technical.
metadaemon··on AWS us-east-1 down
Yep, us-east-1 itself is online.
metadaemon··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Reddit
I think the more trustworthy reviews of products through sentiment is what I will miss the most. I really never read reviews anywhere else. I was even excited about https://www.looria.com/reddit doing review aggregation.
metadaemon··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Reddit
Wasn't aware of groups.io for ham discussions, thanks for posting!

For USENET, I think I know the answer, but are there other consumption methods that you know of/recommend?

metadaemon··on An open-source alternative to QuickBooks
I know some of the guys that work there too, really cool people.
metadaemon··on Waymo and Uber partner to bring autonomous driving technology to Uber
This also looks slightly bad on Uber as it had its own autonomous driving division that I suspect isn't doing well anymore.
metadaemon··on BT will shed as many as 55,000 workers by 2030
Where do I invest?
metadaemon··on Public Money, Public Code
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or genuine sentiment.
metadaemon··on Mullvad VPN was subject to a search warrant – customer data not compromised
TIL, thanks!
metadaemon··on Shutting down my legal torrent site after 17 years
I'd say it's the boating, because of the implication

I was under the impression the socks feature no longer works, are you currently using it?
metadaemon··on Apple Card’s new high-yield Savings account is now available, offering a 4.15 p
Well it's through Goldman Sachs, so no
metadaemon··on Show HN: Personalized book recommendations with Librarian AI
I'm also a fan of LT, but most importantly I'm a fan of spreading the wonderful feeling you get from reading. If LT's recommendation algorithm is only good because of its pool size, then it's bound to fail at some point in the future. Rather than delaying this inevitability -- which effectively sweeps the issue under the rug -- the better solution would be to ensure that their recommendations stay high-caliber regardless of scale. I'd imagine the only way to perform this test would to be for them to actually grow in scale, so they should be advertised as much as possible.

ew gatekeeping.
metadaemon··on Thinking hard makes the brain tired
This is the basis for my personal system of working with ADD
metadaemon··on The Cornell University Witchcraft Collection
I'm not sure why, but collecting and looking at occult material that is old/rare is extremely fascinating to me.
metadaemon··on Triplebyte acquired by Karat
Good on you for not subjecting someone to that.
metadaemon··on NordVPN library and client code open-sourced
+1 for Mullvad, I usually only buy time when I'm traveling to secure my traffic in airports/hotels/etc
metadaemon··on LastPass says DevOps engineer’s hacked computer led to security breach in 2022
I'm betting work gives him a free family subscription, ideally you'd have them as separate accounts, not sure how the local vault works under the hood in that situation.
metadaemon··on LastPass says DevOps engineer’s hacked computer led to security breach in 2022
Yes, but the article made it seem like they had RCE to his home PC. With that they installed the keylogger to retrieve the master key which they then used to decrypt the offline vault.
metadaemon··on LastPass says DevOps engineer’s hacked computer led to security breach in 2022
You probably at least need remote access within Plex in order to install new plugins, meaning you could probably run the exploit by just having his username and password.
metadaemon··on LastPass says DevOps engineer’s hacked computer led to security breach in 2022
I don’t think he’s necessarily working on his pc. He probably just had a shared LastPass account between work and his pc.
metadaemon··on LastPass says DevOps engineer’s hacked computer led to security breach in 2022
Wouldn’t that be susceptible to the same attack?
metadaemon··on W3C Beta Website
May be a facet of the page they have no control over and is a bit besides the point
