0x073··on Show HN: Build the habit of writing meaningful commit messages
Future self won't understand the code and the message. ;)
0x073··on I don’t need a Steam Machine
Because steam/valve ist bound to gabe, not sure who comes after him. (10 years between the steam machines)

But such changes are mostly more negative.

0x073··on We cut our Mongo DB costs by 90% by moving to Hetzner
Which region?

For me: 2 dedicated, 3 vps (nbg1) 1 vps (fsn1)

Fsn is relatively new.

0x073··on I don’t need a Steam Machine
I also don't believe it, but sony was a all time bad player.

I like the Xbox because they changed so much in the console ecosystem, play anywhere, backwards compatibility without extra cost.

0x073··on I don’t need a Steam Machine
Then sony produce ps only exclusive s. No pc ports anymore.
0x073··on I don’t need a Steam Machine
I think the Steam Machine has to succeed for SteamOS on Linux to keep growing, and for the niche of the Linux desktop to become larger.

Steam has already failed at this once, and it won’t try a third time.

(And Windows is currently at its lowest point, so it’s the perfect opportunity.)

0x073··on We cut our Mongo DB costs by 90% by moving to Hetzner
Using hetzner since 5 years never had issues and only 1 downtime in one data center.

Google = Chrome = they can for most users
0x073··on Email verification protocol
If the attention is so low, this site is probably not worth it anyway.
0x073··on Email verification protocol
Nowadays, email inputs are just plain inputs. If they gain the ability to automatically verify an email address through JavaScript, there’s a high risk that this feature could be abused by scam or phishing sites.

> The privacy advantage is also significant and real

Depending which privacy, currently if I input a email into xyz noone can trust that this email belongs to me. In the future every email input can verify if the mail belongs to me, that scream abuse and more new things that try to fix the old.

> There's literally no worse context switch than having to go into your inbox, wait for an email, then come back to the appropriate tab to complete registration or login.

Then it's something maybe the customer isn't interested in the first place. Most of the time mail just works for me only issues are sometimes greylisting and it takes hours.

I can understand it from the company side, but not sure how well it really works when someone use a mail app on mobile and on desktop not even logged into the mail account.

0x073··on Email verification protocol
Make everything what works complicated.

There is no advantage.

"User privacy is enhanced as the issuer does not learn which web application is making the request as the request is mediated by the browser." Every web application nowadays send you a welcome, onboarding, reminder after the verification. (No user privacy enhancement)

So we get a new process that solves nothing, but makes everything complicated. (And complicated helps the big and hurt the little in th long run)

Not verified but feels like a Google draft that closes the web.

0x073··on Keep Android Open
Major phone manufacturers would break androids neck. (E.g.Samsung)
0x073··on JMAP for Calendars, Contacts and Files Now in Stalwart
Good to know, I thought about using this with stalwart, as I moving to hetzner.
0x073··on JMAP for Calendars, Contacts and Files Now in Stalwart
Is there a reason you use aws s3 vs the hetzner object storage?
0x073··on Windows 11 25H2 October Update Bug Renders Recovery Environment Unusable
I tried to love the Linux file manager, but it's a mess with current fedora kde dolphin crashes randomly, mounted nas storage with smb or NFS (synology nas) is slower and depending on how you mount the storage some apps can't open the files.

Maybe the crashes could be solved with a more stable os like debian, but the explorer shell integration is on windows on another level with network storage.

0x073··on Improving PixelMelt's Kindle Web Deobfuscator
That the Kindle web is still supported by Amazon after all the Kindle changes surprises me.
0x073··on Who owns Express VPN, Nord, Surfshark? VPN relationships explained (2024)
Just spin up a server with wireguard.
0x073··on Who owns Express VPN, Nord, Surfshark? VPN relationships explained (2024)
Free wifi hotspots

Nowadays most traffic is tls encrypted, but there are still metadata that can be collected.

0x073··on Windows 10 refuses to go gentle into that good night
And that may break with any update.

> Yes, and that's an acceptable risk calculation to avoid prematurely buying a new computer because: ...

- there are 3 year esm updates - Linux based os that are nowadays more stable than windows

0x073··on PHP Almost Generics: Guided Journey Through the Official Compile-Time Proposal
Swift started as closed source language exclusive for apple devices. Apple never was developer friendly outside of their ecosystem.

If I think about swift I think about ios apps (I know it can be more today, but their marketing for this language wasn't good).

So apple never wanted big adoption outside of their devices.

0x073··on Help us raise $200k to free JavaScript from Oracle
I don't understand it, nodejs use JavaScript on their website like many other e.g. vue , what's will 200k throwing away solves?

200k could do much more in the js ecosystem than just a word.

0x073··on Show HN: Lightweight tool for managing Linux virtual machines
I thought cockpit use pam, so you can use other pam modules to log in.

Gdpr don't assumes cookies, if you misuse local storage you also need confirmation.

Why bother with deno 2 when node 22 is a much better alternative for new projects?

(closing the circle)

0x073··on LetsEncrypt – Expiration Notification Service Has Ended
Or just a cronjob that fetches the tls certs and look at the expiration date and then send a mail or X.

So it's even work if you don't have control about the le client.

0x073··on Brave creates new TLD on the blockchain
TLD that are not accessable by everyone are useless.

And no free tls certs like letsencrypt is a huge step back.

0x073··on JavaScript Trademark Update
And its underlying monaco editor.
