probotect0r··on Anonymous takes .ru government websites offline
They are actually asking hackers everywhere to attack government sites in the name of Anonymous. Source: Their twitter
probotect0r··on Google Tag Manager, the new anti-adblock weapon (2020)
How are you going to block it "trivially" if you don't know which script to block? They recommend changing the name of the GTM script, and paired with changing the content slightly, you won't be able to tell which script is GTM and which is actually important to the functioning of the site.
probotect0r··on Ask HN: Is it just me or do 99% of SWE jobs offers seem completely pointless?
I cope by having interests and hobbies that are not related to SWE. I have thought about what it would be like to work in one of those areas, and I always conclude that making money in tech is much easier, more comfortable, and requires less effort. So I use it to find my other interests.
probotect0r··on How bad is QWERTY, really? A review of the literature, such as it is
I use a fairly ergonomic low profile split keyboard, and have no issues with my wrists, but I have some mild RSI in my index finger, near the knuckle joint. I have been trying to figure out how to fix this for a while, and haven't really found a solution, other than to switch to an alternative layout which is not as hard on the index finger. Anyone have a similar issue?
probotect0r··on Roblox October Outage Postmortem
You also made litestream?! Awesome, I love that project.
probotect0r··on Effortless personal productivity (or how I learned to love my monkey mind)
I would recommend the book "Peak Mind" for those looking to get into meditation to improve their mental awareness and tame the monkey mind. It goes over some of the science and research behind how attention works (in simple terms) and outlines a clear meditation regime you can implement (just 12 minutes a day, 5 days a week).
probotect0r··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2021 – Show and tell
Post it on r/hydrohomies and you might be able to retire early lol
probotect0r··on A simple proposal to humankind. Global Peace Dividend
They never mentioned anything about World War 2. They are talking about the Cold War. The nuclear crisis between US and Russia. And I think they are right because I believe they set up a direct line between Moscow and DC right after that conflict ended.
probotect0r··on Ask HN: Have you gotten a 2nd full-time remote job since the start of lockdown?
You made it sound like they lowered your salary because you weren't performing well.
probotect0r··on Building a simple room-based chat application in Nim (using HTMX)
How do you use it professionally?
probotect0r··on I host this blog from my garage
He clearly says:

To stave off the inevitable haters: I know this is over-engineered. That’s kind of the point! By trying out “flashy” software in a low-stakes environment...

probotect0r··on Show HN: I wrote a book about using Lambda with Go
Somewhat related, Lambda has the concept of provisioned capacity. So you can have a certain number of lambda containers running at all times, which will help a lot with the cold start. Obviously this is more expensive so you will have to weigh the benefits for your use case.
probotect0r··on How to rest well
No, that would require moving your arm, which seems unnecessary. A figurative one will have to suffice \s
probotect0r··on Ask HN: What you up to? (Who doesn't want to be hired?)
Pretty boring outside of work life, but I built out some basic cabinets for my parents' walk-in closet this past 2 weekends. And now I am looking to get into more proper woodworking by building my first work bench. Very excited about that and working with some nice hand tools. My long term goal is to buy some land in northern Ontario and build my own tiny house/cabin in the wilderness.
probotect0r··on XMonad – The Automated Tiling WM
Yabai, a tiling wm for MacOS, is very good. I too was forced to use a Mac for my job and Yabai met my tiling needs as well as anything could have. Try it out next time you have to use a Mac!
probotect0r··on Wg-access-server: An all-in-one WireGuard VPN solution with a web UI
Unfortunately I can't justify a paid option right now, and I need to be able to support at least 5 to 10 users. Otherwise I would jump on it, it's very good.
probotect0r··on Wg-access-server: An all-in-one WireGuard VPN solution with a web UI
Has anyone used this for internal company VPN for accessing resources on something like AWS VPC?
probotect0r··on An ultimate guide to memory palaces
Yes, that's mentioned in the article that this method might not work for people who have a hard time visualizing spaces.
probotect0r··on Ask HN: What can I do to actively fight climate change?
It's possible to adopt kids and still pass on those values.
probotect0r··on Tailscale free for open source projects
Yeah, we do use it for ssh access. I know about the portforwarding capabilities, but haven't explored it for this use case. Given that our environment is dynamic, I don't know if accessing internal services via portforwarding over ssh is going to be feasible.
probotect0r··on Tailscale free for open source projects
Thanks for the suggestion. I have seen subspace, but haven't had a chance to explore it deeply. I don't mind deploying and managing my own setup, but since my team is small, I want to limit how much time I have to spend on this in the long run. I have definitely considered running my own setup of barebones WireGuard, but haven't come across an elegant user management solution.
probotect0r··on Tailscale free for open source projects
Thanks! This seems pretty interesting, I will definitely explore it further.
probotect0r··on Tailscale free for open source projects
I'm currently looking into implementing a VPN setup on AWS to allow my team to access services in private subnets. Tailscale seems great but too pricey for our small company. I'm playing with Pritunl now, but looking for other suggestions. Ideally I want to have some SSO functionality so we don't have to manage users and the team can log in with their company Google account. Any suggestions for this type of setup?
probotect0r··on MangaDex infrastructure overview
How is the Wireguard VPN set up? Has anyone used Wireguard to set up a VPN into AWS VPCs?
probotect0r··on MangaDex infrastructure overview
Can you share how you do logging/monitoring/alerting for your site?
probotect0r··on Serverless Computing: A Security Perspective
It doesn't mean there is no 'server' component. It's supposed to mean that the devs don't have to worry about the underlying server infrastructure that is running their code. They simply specify the code and the conditions under which it gets executed, and the serverless service takes care of running it.
probotect0r··on A work-in-progress Magit clone for Neovim
I have started using lazygit in tmux splits or neovim terminals and I love it!
probotect0r··on 21st Century Baker's Tent
Those interested in making your own gear should check out r/myog. Lots of good content there.
probotect0r··on Onboarding with an M1
Is everyone using the 16GB version of the M1? Or is the 8GB sufficient?
probotect0r··on Adjustable, low-impact keeb
I don't have wrist pain, but I sometimes have pain in my index fingers. I have been trying for a long time to figure out a good solution and have tried several keyboards as a result. It seems like keeping my wrist rested in one spot causes my index fingers to extend to reach keys that are one column/row over. Floating my wrists allows me to move my whole arm for those out of reach keys, reducing the impact on my index fingers. I currently use a low profile Nyquist from keeb.io and while I enjoy it, I don't think it does anything in particular to address my issue other than being split (which I love). Keeping my hands floating is the easiest when I am standing and my desk is leveled with my elbows.
