somidscr21··on Using the Internet without IPv4 connectivity
I was able to write an AppleScript that ran on connection to add a dummy ULA and a disconnect script that undid it and went back to auto v6.
somidscr21··on Using the Internet without IPv4 connectivity
Yeah I've been using it daily for almost a year as have many other people at work
somidscr21··on Using the Internet without IPv4 connectivity
I've found that using my v4 only network from my ISP and macOS can do v6 only without requiring a DNS server like you have been doing. I don't remember the details now, but after some digging a few years ago I realized macOS will happily work like that as long as it has a v6 address. I can put a ULA address on my host, and it's good to go. Granted this relies on users knowing how to do that. or depending on the VPN application to get to the v6 only network, you may be able to script adding a ULA (any kind even made up). You don't want to leave it wIth a made up ULA because that could screw things up if the user moves to a v6 capable network.

The US government is under a mandate to move to v6 only, so it's very much on some radars. Hopefully some ISPs follow suit.

That fretboard is amazing! Thanks for working on it and sharing.
somidscr21··on PiBox: a tiny personal server for self-hosting
There's official docs on how to do that here https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/vpn/wireguard/overview/

somidscr21··on Show HN: Ain is a terminal API client
I think the point is that API isn't just used for HTTP and your title assumes HTTP API
somidscr21··on Ask HN: What is your current side-project?
Do you have screenshots or a little write up? This sounds like something I could be interested in, but I don't want to download a phone app to see what it really is.
somidscr21··on Show HN: Application Security Testing for Modern Engineering Teams
Any sort of pricing info would be really good to have on your page somewhere.
somidscr21··on Show HN: Timecap: Worlds most customizable habit tracker
I'm not trying to be rude, but you claim the most customizable habit tracker, yet I don't see anything on the home page that shows how that's true. I see:

"time-based, count-based, and simply completable activities and habits." which are things on many other habit trackers. I'm curious if you have something cool that's not coming across on the homepage?

somidscr21··on Show HN: Exercise from Home, Together
This seems silly, but the use of that emoji as your logo really turned me off. I have been trying to figure out why in order to give you better feedback, but I can't.
somidscr21··on Show HN: Postgresqlco.nf: PostgreSQL Configuration for Humans
very much so. there was a lot going on and it took my attention away from the content so much so I was confused what I was looking at
somidscr21··on Show HN: We aim to improve healthcare outcomes for millions of consumers
I think some sort of demo or something would be really useful. I do not want to sign up for something I can't see first.
somidscr21··on Show HN: Nocturnal – A Dimness and Night Shift Menu Bar App for macOS Catalina
This looks interesting, I too have problems even in the darkest of dark night shift. To be perfectly honest, I was ready to `brew install nocturnal` and test it out, but I'm not going to figure out what Carthage is and get that bootstrapped just to try this. I realize that's pure laziness on my part, but people are lazy when they can be. Might be an easy-ish hurdle to get more adopters
somidscr21··on Show HN: Made an App for Coders to stay up-to-date with their coding languages
Yeah definitely not gonna download an app for this.
somidscr21··on Show HN: EQZEN (In Development, Feedback Appreciated)
It would be really helpful to have a little blurb about what it is somewhere. Writing a tool, I know sometimes it's easy to forget that not everyone has the context, but that contexts would be super useful.
somidscr21··on Show HN: Monica, an open-source CRM to manage friends and family
1.28 billion daily active users on average for March 2017 [https://newsroom.fb.com/company-info/]

would greatly disagree with your statement. It may not be the answer for everyone, but it could be that tool for a large chunk of the world's population.

I tried to do this with a song of mine. Every time it got to 100% the page crashed out.
somidscr21··on Show HN: New app to stream music from your phone to the browser
I really like the idea, but on my Nexus 6 running Nougat, it said my library was just the Facebook app sounds. I saw no settings or anywhere to point it to my correct music location (I normally use Google Play Music, so whatever that default is..).

Is in the malware domain list. If that helps you figure out why uBlock is not a fan..

somidscr21··on Learn the Command Line
You should look at ISLET. It's designed for this exact sort of thing.

somidscr21··on Show HN: Business Collaboration for Small Business
There's a typo on the about us page. I'm assuming it should say B2bsphere.com

"Founded in February 2015 and based in Houston, Texas. B2pshere.com..."

somidscr21··on Show HN: Documentation made easy
Doesn't seem to exist yet. Got excited as documentation is a pain, buuut there's nothing at the link. You give them your email address and then...nothing. No info, no download. Not sure what's going on.
