0XAFFE··on We're Entering a Golden Age of Podcasts
Indeed, I changed my locale to en_US and I got whole other bunch of podcasts. Change your locale to de_DE and it will have all of german podcasts.
0XAFFE··on We're Entering a Golden Age of Podcasts
There is https://fyyd.de/charts if you want a good overview of the german podcast scape.

For fiction maybe something like that https://www1.wdr.de/mediathek/audio/hoerspiel-speicher/wdr_h... ?

0XAFFE··on Schedule – 35th Chaos Communication Congress
All talks will have real time sub titles and some even have live voice translations. And you do Not have to speak German to attend, there will be enough interesting people with whom you can converse.
0XAFFE··on Ask HN: Best talks of 2018?
Some of the better talks are yet to come

0XAFFE··on Architecture no one needs is server side templating
My biggest gain since last year has been react to render HTML on the server side. Using react with TypeScript you gain a very sane templating language, very good editing support with every ide which supports ts.
0XAFFE··on The Workman Keyboard Layout Philosophy (2010)
Best thing is to print this https://neo-layout.org/grafik/aufsteller/neo20-aufsteller.pd... and put it behind your keyboard or somewhere where you can look with ease.

I think speed it no so much important when coding, but don't have to think about how and what you have to type.

0XAFFE··on Why Use OpenStreetMap Instead of Google Maps?
Did you have a look at overpass turbo[1]?

With this API a lot more is possible than with nominatim.

0XAFFE··on Taskwarrior, where have you been all my life?
I use emacs org-mode with beorg¹ on iOS. beorg has very good agenda view and allows dumping new entries. Refilling and tagging I do later with real emacs. Syncing files is done via webdav (nextcloud to be exact).

It is a pleasant working experience.

0XAFFE··on Ask HN: Recommendations for Peer to Peer Frameworks?
Maybe Scuttlebutt? https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/

Scuttlebutt is advertised as a social network, but in core it is an eternal distributed log. You can pass either public or private messages and assets around.

0XAFFE··on With SESTA/FOSTA, lawmakers failed to separate good intentions from bad law
Only copyrighted stuff and sometimes its bogus, so the best turn is to have a lawyer friend, write a nice letter and never hear from them again.
0XAFFE··on How not to run a CA
I would pay for an acme endpoint that is not rate limited.
0XAFFE··on Electron 2.0.0 beta
I wonder why there is no runtime package for all your electron applications, so you only have to install the runtime once and every app can depend on this runtime. This would greatly reduce download sizes of individual applications.
0XAFFE··on Do you need a VPN?
Here is a source, but no „malware“ but ads, the line gets more and more blurry

0XAFFE··on Linux ransomware in the wild
You learn with the time and also sometimes when its not so obvious, what to activate and what not, I just close the tab and don't bother with the content.
0XAFFE··on Better Database Migrations in Postgres
We use umzug[1] a migrations framework which uses sequelize[2]. We use umzug/sequelize with TypeScript and its quite pleasant to work with.

0XAFFE··on Firefox 56 supports headless mode on Windows
We used node-html-pdf[1] for this, but it depends on phantomjs which uses an ancient version of webkit. We migrated to electron and its contents.printToPDF(options, callback), but that has the drawback that we have to start a X-server[2] with our backend code. I have hopes with a headless chrome we can ditch the xvfb-server and have one less dependencies. The setup is a pain, but the results are very good and looking very decent.

0XAFFE··on Password strength analysis based on countries
You can at least read some text…

0XAFFE··on Identify Plants with an App
Is there something like this for Android? This app seem to be restricted to iOS.
0XAFFE··on HTML5 Games Workshop: Make a Platformer Game with JavaScript
CrossCode[1] is written in Impact[2] and its a realy awesome game.

So this seem to be possible.

0XAFFE··on SJCL – Stanford JavaScript Crypto Library
How does this compare to libsodium(.js)[1][2]?

0XAFFE··on Show HN: Simple image resizing/optimization service
As so often:

Please don't show a blank page when no javascript is available.

Maybe a message that you should enable javascript or better some basic information what your service does.

0XAFFE··on Ask HN: What is your experience switching away from QWERTY keyboard?
I switched a long time ago from qwertz to de-ergo, I did not know dvorak at the time, but it was a very profound and interesting experience to see the wiring in the brain to change. After some years I changed from de-ergo to NEO[1] and I am still using it and will probably never look back. Having most of the important programming characters (\/{}*?()-:@) on the home row is the best thing that ever happened to me.

This is of course limited to the German language.

0XAFFE··on Easy XMPP: What are we doing here?
Maybe because you can try it directly online without registration?

https://riot.im/app/

0XAFFE··on Easy XMPP: What are we doing here?
I recently tried riot.im and I'm realy blown away by the good UI they have and how easy it is to get started to develop your own stuff.

It is a shame that nothing by the likes exists in the XMPP-sphere.

EDIT: As a side note: Daniel Gultsch from the conversations-fame is doing a great job by providing/developing a realy awesome XMPP client for android and pushing the standard forward.

0XAFFE··on Overview of New JavaScript APIs Now Supported by Most Mainstream Browsers
WebRTC is realy cool, but does not work in Safari.

Did cost us quite some time in a project.

0XAFFE··on Show HN: ClapChat – Instant messaging for HN users
Is this a refference to claptrap?
0XAFFE··on Dumb Password Rules
@duffn is ok if its in german?
0XAFFE··on Dumb Password Rules
Popular German bank „Sparkasse“ has this great online banking system that allows you only 5 characters (Small and large, numbers, umlauts and eszet[1]). They call it a PIN (Personal identification /number/), but IMO its terribly insecure.

0XAFFE··on Show HN: Printed Books from WhatsApp with Python and LaTeX
What I meant was, adding a generated PDF with demo content.
