ComodoHacker··on Show HN: AutoHotkey for Linux
Another solution to the 'flashing console' problem is to wrap cmd invocation into VBS script. It allows you to set that flag to hide console window.
ComodoHacker··on Telegram is asking German users when to share information with law enforcement
Desktop client already has it, it's called 'folders'.
ComodoHacker··on Telegram is asking German users when to share information with law enforcement
>How about not storing any information at all? Nothing to give, problem solved.

This means no history sync, no seamless device switching, no contact discovery, no search. That's not what people want.

ComodoHacker··on AdGuard publishes the first ad blocker built on Manifest V3
To be fair, general ad blocker will always require broad permissions, no matter what API it uses. There's no sense in ad blocker that works only on N sites.
ComodoHacker··on Using your phone as a software development platform
...but have "€49 per month" to spend: https://aista.com/pricing/
ComodoHacker··on SpaceX, T-Mobile to connect satellites to cellphones in remote areas
Or just add a telescopic antenna and present it as "innovation never seen before".
ComodoHacker··on Google refuses to reinstate account after man took medical images of son’s groin
I mean where the user resides and which law is applicable. In case of Android it means where the phone number is registered.
ComodoHacker··on Google refuses to reinstate account after man took medical images of son’s groin
Is there any source in which countries this Google CSAM scanning works?
ComodoHacker··on Ask HN: Our users don't want to pay taxes
I don't know exactly how many, but I know about 5 with VAT and exceptions.
ComodoHacker··on Ask HN: Our users don't want to pay taxes
In many countries, small businesses pay taxes on gross income. Basically sales tax.
ComodoHacker··on Turning SQLite into a Distributed Database
Looks like in their view "fully distributed" == "write scalability", which is, of course, very limited view.
ComodoHacker··on The Merge
> Any relatively recent consumer hardware should be capable of running the software required to operate a 32 ETH staking node.

What about storage requirements? How long before you need a dedicated NAS to operate a node?

ComodoHacker··on Cosmopolitan Libc v2.0
Without supporting Windows, the whole thing makes little sense.
ComodoHacker··on More content by people, for people in Search
You mean allow people to block Google properties in search? No way I guess.
ComodoHacker··on We're improving search results when you use quotes
No way they'll inflate their indexes even 20% and add complexity into their algorithms for 0.1% queries that won't bring any additional income.
ComodoHacker··on Manticore Search: Elasticsearch Alternative
Has anyone used it in production? Any informed opinions?
ComodoHacker··on SQLite Internals: Pages and B-trees
>you'll probably have a pretty good idea which table you'll want to filter first, and what to join

Until the day you load a bunch of new data and it gets skewed, or you delete a bunch of data without shrinking and oops, your join order and method is not efficient anymore.

ComodoHacker··on Signal: You were the chosen one [video]
That would also remove the ability to easily transfer your existing social graph, which would kill adoption. You don't actually have any other choice if you target for mass adoption.
ComodoHacker··on Wikenigma is an encyclopedia for topics with unknown answers
I couldn't find the fragment you cited.
ComodoHacker··on RustDesk – Open-source TeamViewer alternative
Well, the space is remote support and assistance, not "using it several times with family and friends", we already have a bunch of tools for that.

Besides good UX, you need at least a Microsoft signed driver for efficient capture. You need extensive testing on a wide (and wild) variety of legacy hardware and OSes.

Maybe RustDesk does a good job, I didn't try it, but it's absolutely not an alternative to TeamViewer.

ComodoHacker··on RustDesk – Open-source TeamViewer alternative
> The open source TeamViewer alternative. Display and control your PC and Android devices from anywhere at anytime.

That's not what TeamViewer, AnyDesk and others offer. They offer display and control of anyone's PC, without a tech-savvy person on that end. There's no way any open-source project could compete in this space.

ComodoHacker··on Wikenigma is an encyclopedia for topics with unknown answers
Corrected. 'Fast' wiki in action!
ComodoHacker··on FCC: TikTok is unacceptable security risk and should be removed from app stores
In other news, Russian government is going to enact a law[0] that would require businesses to provide collected personal data to the government on demand. Not anonymized and without personal consent. The presumption is a single governmental agency would anonymize it, properly store, protect and provide anonymized datasets to other agencies and businesses to develop on. This is already being called 'data nationalization'.

ComodoHacker··on FCC: TikTok is unacceptable security risk and should be removed from app stores
Depends on country and government, TBH.
ComodoHacker··on A Spectre Is Haunting Unicode (2018)
>Fewer than a quarter of the characters it contains are now in common use

12K characters in common use is equally impressing for me as a non-Asian.

ComodoHacker··on PostgreSQL 14 Internals Book
Nowhere any time soon, I guess, as the author is Russian.
ComodoHacker··on Why Firefox Deserves Its Sad Decline
You mean APIs to reach into browser internals and escape sandboxing?
ComodoHacker··on Open source body quits GitHub, urges you to do the same
So they basically object to inventing any new ways to create value out of OSS besides direct reusing.

They should rename themselves to Technical Progress Level Conservancy or something like that.

ComodoHacker··on Cheat sheet for if I'm gone
Copy necessary data to a separate vault, at least. Don't put everything at risk.
ComodoHacker··on Cheat sheet for if I'm gone
Multiple printed copies of password manager's master password? Is he serious?
