rexfuzzle··on Ask HN: What underrated open source project deserves more recognition?
+1 on this! It's scales amazingly well too!
rexfuzzle··on Ask HN: Should I try to manufacture toasters?
I have a dualit toaster and absolutely love it! You can get spare parts for it and repair it yourself. To me it's worth the 3x premium of its the only one I ever have to buy in my life. Yes, the timer is a bit loud and you have to think about how done you want the toast ever time, but it becomes automatic, i.e. I just know what the right setting is for a bagel.
rexfuzzle··on DIY Ti Engagement Ring
To be clear, it's a man made diamond. I tried all thr convincing, but turns out that when someone has wanted something since they were a little girl, it's hard to change their mind
rexfuzzle··on Building a high performance JSON parser
Great to see a shout out to Phil Pearl! Also worth looking at https://github.com/bytedance/sonic
rexfuzzle··on Ask HN: Can I own an IP address and take it with me across providers?
How does one get onto this list?
rexfuzzle··on Tell HN: Somebody implemented something I wrote a blog about
Not AFAIK- they email you when a new device logs in, or a new location, but I've never seen one from a wrong 2FA code

This was posted above: https://www.isnic.is/en/site/login First time I've seen it too
rexfuzzle··on Tell HN: Somebody implemented something I wrote a blog about
Interesting- I think that is the first time I've seen password and 2FA code on the same page. Guess that means you may not know if your password or 2FA code is incorrect depending on the error page
rexfuzzle··on Mozilla Firefox 105
I switched from Chrome to FF about 6 years ago and still don't understand why more people don't do the same. At the moment my favourite feature is containers- especially the default facebook ones. Kudos to the team at Mozilla- it just keeps getting better and better!
rexfuzzle··on Ask HN: Google won't fix my address in maps- I'm lost
Wow, that is brilliant- will give it a try- thank you. Did you close the business once the address had been added?
rexfuzzle··on Ask HN: Google won't fix my address in maps- I'm lost
I'm already a level 6 local guide and my edits weren't accepted :(
rexfuzzle··on Ask HN: Google won't fix my address in maps- I'm lost
It is not a gated community and the address exists in the public databases
rexfuzzle··on ESPHome – Connect ESP32 with Sensors to HomeAssistant
I find the yaml works fine for the basics, but the real power comes with being able to include your own c code and use that along with whatever is in the yaml. Basically means you can have normal arduino code that is the tied into hass very easily.
rexfuzzle··on Ask HN: What is your system for backing up family photos and video?
I have about a years worth synced across my devices via syncthing and everything older than I move to an external drive(s) and AWS glacier. I have a little script that does it and only have to do it once or twice a year.
rexfuzzle··on Computers as I used to love them
Yes, it does. I do this for multiple folder- i.e. the pictures folder on my phone is called whatever android has decided to call it this year and it syncs with my pictures folder on my desktop.
rexfuzzle··on Why Is Greenssh.com Free?
From what I can see you have to recreate an account every 7 days and there is no premium option. How do they make money- could it be purely from the data they collect?
rexfuzzle··on Ask HN: Why are Google sites so slow on Firefox?
I've found uBlockOrigin slows down google meet a lot!
rexfuzzle··on Show HN: “HTTP 419 Never Gonna Give You Up” for bots
There are some very cool ways of doing these tarpit. This for example: https://nullprogram.com/blog/2019/03/22/
rexfuzzle··on WhatsApp – About multi-device beta
This is still pretty pointless if you need your phone to log in. If your phone is lost then you still can't get to your messages unless you logged in previously.
rexfuzzle··on Monetizing open-source is problematic
Links please.
rexfuzzle··on Who won the Amstel Gold Race? Human error in photo-finishes
It also happens in horse racing which I though was very off considering the betting involved.
rexfuzzle··on Ubiquiti all but confirms breach response iniquity
AFAIK they've started locking them now, since about v5 if memory serves. Got a couple gathering dust now because of this.
rexfuzzle··on Android's new Bluetooth stack rewrite (Gabeldorsh) is written with Rust
Realistically- how long, if at all would it be before this filters down to updates- only with Android 12?
rexfuzzle··on Putting Raspberry Pi Online with Caddy and SSH Tunnel
$5 per month and 10c per GB or am I missing something?
rexfuzzle··on Ask HN: Captcha Alternatives?
Might be slightly unorthodox, but email the first post to a Gmail account from a random address and see if it is marked as spam, only display the post if not.
rexfuzzle··on Show HN: Olaf – Acoustic Fingerprinting on the ESP32 and in the Browser
How well would this work towards voice activated things, i.e. "Hey Olaf, make it rain?" which turns the sprinklers on.
rexfuzzle··on Ask HN: What was the best job you ever had?
For me it was as a mechanic on the Dakar rally. I've never worked so hard in my life, but the experience was unforgettable. Also showed me what a physically hard day's work can be like.
rexfuzzle··on Vredefort Crater, the world’s oldest and largest known impact structure
I grew up in the town called Parys on the map in the article. Besides creating some lovely hikes and river rafting there are also some very interesting rock phenomena that can only be seen in this area in the whole world.
rexfuzzle··on Conway's Law
Yip, that is where I heard about it- found it very interesting and applicable.
