vocatan··on Turbo Haskell
Avast blocks the site from being loaded.
vocatan··on iPhone Safari Lost Bookmarks
I should be more clear - iCloud safari restore just says “loading…” for about 5 minutes then says “No bookmarks”

Thanks Apple

vocatan··on Ask HN: What is the most amazing Awk program you've used
Somebody posted a git client written in awk here on hacker news today.
vocatan··on Ask HN: What 1980s/90s-era shareware did you purchase?
I used sled.com — Sam’s Little Editor - for years while a university student - and years later tracked down the author to pay him.

Bought every single boxed product that Borland put out: TurboC, TurboDebugger, TurboAssembly, TurboPascal, TurboC++

Bought 3 versions of OS/2 — back when I thought it might win over Windows. Oops

vocatan··on Tailscale vs. Narrowlink
I started reading through the Narrowlink URL, but the frequency of typos was frustrating enough the I came right back to HackerNews to read the comments and synopsis of what the kerfuffle is about.

Thanks for the pointer to headscale - will take a look ;)

vocatan··on Ask HN: Any hardware startups here?
MAJOR two thumbs up on this one - the pibox is a very cool product, great for learning, easy to deploy on, and powerful enough for smaller tasks. the Kubesail folks are responsive (both in email and on their Discord server). Couldn't be happier!
vocatan··on Why PostgreSQL High Availability Matters and How to Achieve It
Another option for open source aficionados might be https://www.pgedge.com - with their spock extension they also achieve multi-master replication. Looks very interesting!
vocatan··on Is something wrong with Amazon Photos? I lost 240k photos
Just to add context - I do have backups, but they're spread across a myriad of different hard drives. I had used Amazon Photos to consolidate, and benefit from the facial recognition to be able to quickly locate pictures of family members quickly.

I think that I'll give DigiKam another go, against the NAS loaded up.

Thanks for the comments!

vocatan··on Is something wrong with Amazon Photos? I lost 240k photos
Pop goes the photo cache, all my family photos mysteriously vanish into the depths of Amazon Photos
vocatan··on Tell HN: 1Password6 is dead on Chrome 99. Indefinite license is finite
I think that as somebody's already commented - having people send email to both legal@1password.com as well as to support@1password.com may be the best option here.

This represents an involuntary migration of customers who purchased a license to 1Password6 to REQUIRE them to upgrade to 1Passwords SaaS offering -- evidently through no fault of 1Password, since it's actually on Google for changing how the signing of the binaries changed.

I've added my email to the list of messages sent over to 1password.

DON'T BE RUDE in your email to them - I'm sure that they're frustrated with the change as well, but you also have to admit that they have a business to run.

a price break, and this unfortunate turn of events, might just be that final tipping point where I finally upgrade to get features that I don't want. :(

vocatan··on Ask HN: What password managers can you recommend?
Can anybody reveal WHERE to buy the standalone / non-subscription version of 1Password? It seems like it's vanished off their site (it used to be that if you hunted for long enough, you could find it)
vocatan··on Slashdot in 'offline mode' – anybody notice?
Ahh, that makes sense - thanks!
vocatan··on Slashdot in 'offline mode' – anybody notice?
Consuming from twitter is like drinking from a genuine firehose, gives me nothing but gas and regrets. :D
vocatan··on One Road Out of Depression
Looks like we melted it -- or the server got depressed.
vocatan··on The Shack is closed, as is the shed. (info disclosure)
Kind of silly to leave this amount of info up - and the breadcrumb to http://shedcloud.com is similarly underwhelming.
vocatan··on Ask HN: What quarterly journals do you read?
Does 2600 count?
