tatoalo··on Show HN: Weedout – Safari extension that hides YouTube AI-labeled videos
> I was looking for a setting to turn off Youtube Shorts

I put out shortless [0] for the very same reason...I just hate them. This works only on Safari, but I stopped using the native app altogether a long time ago, so it wasn't that big of a jump for me :)

tatoalo··on Show HN: Agent Vault – Open-source credential proxy and vault for agents
Could this work (or planned) on gVisor-based sandboxes?
tatoalo··on Ask HN: Share your personal website
Here's mine https://apogliaghi.com
tatoalo··on [dead]
In my case, web UI was behind qbittorrent auth + authelia, haven't seen suspected logs that would trace it back to that, really interesting though!

tatoalo··on Returning to Nim from Python and Rust
Lackluster from the (albeit) little time I’ve experienced it. For what’s worth, I’m on macOS and using LLDB
tatoalo··on Returning to Nim from Python and Rust
The authors praised Rust debugging capabilities (also) in VScode, can somebody point to some references on this? From what I’ve seen around and what I’m able to debug in my VScode environment I might be missing something…
tatoalo··on Dagger Python SDK: Develop Your CI/CD Pipelines as Code
This is something I’d love to try on my personal projects.

I recently used act[0] to locally test my GitHub actions pipelines and worked okay, the fact that I could interact with the Dagger API via a Python SDK could be even more convenient, will definitely try!

tatoalo··on Ask HN: Why don't I see gold at the end of the remote working rainbow?
Moved to Berlin (from Milan) just 2 weeks ago, would gladly join and have nice drink :)
tatoalo··on Ask HN: So you moved off Heroku, where did you go?
I've tried both render and fly.io, finally settled with fly. Love the DX!
tatoalo··on Why modern software is slow
This is interesting, I have talked about this on my blog[1] where I have linked to Jonathan Blow's famous talk.

I guess that we stopped caring about performance in software a while ago...

tatoalo··on Why modern software is slow
> The engineering is paramount.

You must be lucky, not everywhere in the sector that’d be remotely close to true unfortunately…

tatoalo··on Bank tells customers to disable updates and not upgrade to iOS 16
> We’ll let you know when we recommend upgrading to iOS 16.

Oh, how kind of you.

tatoalo··on Don't Pay UK
What?! Following this logic then, the bread riots in the French Revolution[0] would not have happened because “they don’t have the money but they have time to start riots to demand a cap on the price of the good”?

By the way, I’m not commenting on whether this is the right approach to the issue, just commenting the current situation considering what’s happening now.

tatoalo··on Don't Pay UK
> If one million people came together to put solar panels on roofs - that would be cool!

That would be “cool” and actually great. The problem is that people who cannot get through the month because the bills have skyrocketed, cannot afford the upfront price of installing solar panels. So unless there’s government intervention, I don’t really think this would be feasible.

tatoalo··on Show HN: WakaQ - a Python distributed task queue
I really like the simplicity (i.e. readability) of the codebase, nice!
tatoalo··on We clone a running VM in 2 seconds
I am using a Python runtime
tatoalo··on We clone a running VM in 2 seconds
Slightly OT, but I have a question on AWS Lambda(s) since they run on Firecracker MicripoVM(s): have somebody found a way to reduce cold-starts times?

Online I was only able to find that the way to go seems to be to produce an heartbeat on a rolling schedule, wanted to look into this.

tatoalo··on The Apollo On-Board Computers
In addition to the fantastic ccc.de talk, I suggest this one related to the 1202 alarm: https://youtu.be/B1J2RMorJXM

Great talk and overall super presenter IMHO.

tatoalo··on AWS SecretsManager Operational Issue
AWS SM is having issues in the `us` region, I'm currently on-call and wondered that maybe somebody else would be impacted by this as well!

Correct link: https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status

tatoalo··on Slack Is Down
Yep, we have moved to google workspace chat for the time being. Panic :)
tatoalo··on Datadog dashboard for the Texas power grid
Yeah, from my EU IP address I could not visit the site, with US-provided IP from my VPN I could. I don’t understand why they would geofence it honestly but that’s how it is.
tatoalo··on Monitoring tiny web services
I’m currently on the “hacker” tier, no business use case for me at the moment.
tatoalo··on Monitoring tiny web services
I have been using cronitor[0] for a few months now and I have been really satisfied with them so far!

tatoalo··on Web scraping with Python open knowledge
I recently transitioned one of my scraping projects away from selenium to playwright and I must say that the developer experience is way better, in my opinion.

I also implemented to receive a telegram message with the debug trace in case of errors in my pipeline, so that I could have the entire scraping flow to analyze. That’s pretty neat.

tatoalo··on Oauth2 support for GMail
> [...] including even having to prepare a Youtube video showing my code in action.

What?!

tatoalo··on Companies That Use Haskell in Production
Would you welcome/help in relocating from Europe?
tatoalo··on Airbnb’s design to live and work anywhere
My employer (FAANG-like Fintech) settled on a really similar policy just a couple of days ago, really glad they did it.

> Starting in September, you can live and work in over 170 countries for up to 90 days a year in each location.

This looks particularly great, currently for my company is "just" 20 days, but this seems fantastic!
