xyse53··on I want a computer that I own
I think there are two ways to look at that. 1) The relevant characteristics of these models shouldn't be specialist. 2) Cheaper, constrained portals to the internet may be subsidized by Google, Facebook, etc.
xyse53··on Before buying a NYT subscription, here's what it'll take to cancel it
Some business and industries do more social good than others. We're all still adjusting to the internet. I'm on the side of leaning towards giving NYT a pass for this. It was a single chat interaction, not so bad.

The interaction didn't seem that bad to me. The business is hurting and valuable. I can kind of see how you'd get there and want "customer retention specialists", who are people that have a job they don't like where they are probably measured on some metric related to how many cancels they let through. Sucks all around, but again I was expecting so much worse.

A single chat interaction? Not horrible.

xyse53··on Upgrade Your SSH Keys
And OpenWRT dropbear only just recently got ed25519 support at mainline. Not in a release yet.

I bumped into this recently when I replaced my older rsa hardware keys with newer models. Switched to openssh for now.

xyse53··on Bill to make Daylight Savings permanent
What I think it /should/ mean is that 13:00 becomes the center of daylight. Who knows what's in that bill through ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I wish we could stick with Noon as the middle of the day and adjust normal work, school, etc schedule around that. But I'd take "permanent daylight saving".

xyse53··on Ask HN: How do I become a shell god?
> As of yours loop, such thing, when renaming files in bash, you can do `mv {,OLD-}foo*.txt`

I don't think so. Doesn't this break when the glob matches more than one?

xyse53··on Goodbye PowerDNS
Cheers, and thank you!

I have a vanity domain which I use to exercise my internet independence :) I've been using PowerDNS with a hidden master, public secondaries, dns updates with lua authorization for dynamic ips and let's encrypt for years. Also the recursor for local systems.

I received great help and had some fun chats on IRC in the beginning. PowerDNS has been a great part of my "infrastructure". My only complaint is that packagers and other naming can't choose between 'powerdns' and 'pdns' :)

xyse53··on A socialite who hated washing dishes invented the automated dishwasher
This is completely unqualified, but on top of that I'm guessing they're very hard on most household dishes and such.
xyse53··on Pixel 5
I respect your preference but I think you're in a minority on face vs fingerprint, not even adjusting for covid facemasks.
xyse53··on Chrome Web Store payments deprecation
Has anyone tried this with Google though? Is there a chance it can result in a locked account? And what would recovery be like?
xyse53··on Monarch: Google’s Planet-Scale In-Memory Time Series Database [pdf]
They are used when joining timeseries.
xyse53··on Zuckerberg finally explains why Facebook is doing nothing about Trump’s posts
It'll be entertaining if this backfires. He's so volatile. I think even if I had zero conscience I'd want to avoid the risk of a relationship with him.
xyse53··on Google has suspended Podcast Addict for having podcasts about Covid 19
I'm referring to this one https://blog.pushbullet.com/2020/05/15/our-extension-is-safe...
xyse53··on Google has suspended Podcast Addict for having podcasts about Covid 19
This wasn't taken down and the issue was resolved.
xyse53··on 3.5-inch SBC offers Ryzen V1000 and up to four GbE ports
Does it not support nvme? Also I wonder why not usb-c at least for power.
xyse53··on Why are some people better at working from home than others?
Fuck it.

I'd just enjoy myself, the damage is already done this time.

xyse53··on Why are some people better at working from home than others?
One of my mottos: Good eating starts in the supermarket, not in the kitchen.

I can easily not buy potato chips. I don't even pretend like I'll control myself and not eat a whole bag in one night if it's in the house.
