Because Brave's crypto ad pyramid scheme is better?

Icon fonts aren't accessible.
DanAtC··on Ask HN: Why do search engines not let you blacklist spam domains?
Kagi allows you to weigh domains.
DanAtC··on Magic Keyboard with integrated Mac inside patented by Apple
How is this patentable? There's decades of prior art.
DanAtC··on Show HN: The Brutalist Report – A rolling snapshot of the day’s headlines
Second this. Just having a massive chronological list with the source mentioned after the date is a lot more interesting to me.
DanAtC··on Safari now supports File System Access API with private origin
This is awesome. What other web apps are out there that use this API that I've been missing out on?
DanAtC··on Why and How I Got My Own ASN
They hit on a point I rarely see mentioned: ARIN makes acquiring assets as an individual prohibitively difficult and expensive. Especially for IPv6 where European LIRs hand them out like candy e.g. https://clients.stratagem.host/cart.php?gid=14
DanAtC··on Why can’t I play Ultra HD Blu-ray movies on my new Intel CPU platform?
Sure! Email in profile
DanAtC··on How to Set Up a Router's Port Forwarding for a Nintendo Switch Console
How is PCP any better? It would allow malware to open ports just the same.
DanAtC··on T-Mobile begins blocking iPhone users from enabling iCloud Private Relay in US
Terrible. The official method for blocking iCloud Relay is via DNS: https://developer.apple.com/support/prepare-your-network-for... I wonder if this is what they're doing.

If so, it's a hassle, but you can specify custom DNS servers (even DoH and DoT) for mobile connections using a .mobileconfig file. https://dns.notjakob.com/ can generate them for you.

Probably a good idea to do this anyway to keep your carrier from spying on your DNS requests.

DanAtC··on Google deploying planes over cities for 3D maps (2012)
https://www.nearmap.com/ though they seem to have moved away from flat pricing to "contact us" which is a shame.
DanAtC··on The IPv4 Cleanup Project
I don't understand why two EFF-adjacent personalities have an interest in making more v4 addresses available which will ultimately end up in the hands of giant ISPs and corporations.
DanAtC··on Fastmail, Runbox, and Posteo under DDoS extortion attack
That will stop overloading paths inside your network, but if your edge can't handle a 100 Gbps DDoS all your other customers still suffer.

Better to have the target blackholed upstream. Can usually be done with a BGP community of 666 if your peers support it.

The original iPhone came with a black, screen-sized microfiber cloth.
DanAtC··on Lithuania says throw away Chinese phones due to censorship concerns
You can replace the user-facing software, but can/would you trust the baseband?
DanAtC··on Some Netgear Routers Need to Be Patched Immediately
Looks like the 7000P is supported by DD-WRT if you want something to play with before binning it: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Netgear_R7000P
DanAtC··on There are six internet links on my office on wheels—seven when Starlink arrives
I'm interested in which NUC has 8 Ethernet ports.
DanAtC··on Please stop closing forums and moving people to Discord
Discourse is horrible: It lazy-loads messages which is a nightmare to scroll and search through on mobile.
DanAtC··on NitroPhone – Pixel 4a phone with GrapheneOS
I never realized how bad Google is with their own device support: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705

3 years from the date of release is horrible. My iPhone 6S is coming up on 6 years of OS updates and will get at least 1 more with iOS 15.

DanAtC··on LeafletJS: a JavaScript library for interactive maps
Google Maps prices are now outrageous https://geoawesomeness.com/developers-up-in-arms-over-google...

Not to mention respecting the privacy of your users.

DanAtC··on India is leading IPv6 migration with 61.67% adoption
RE: v6-only ISP, there's this crazy story that came up last IPv6 article: https://old.reddit.com/r/ipv6/comments/n5y5oo/update_on_not_...
DanAtC··on History of Hacking the Nintendo 3DS [pdf]
If you want to hack your own: https://3ds.hacks.guide/

It used to be somewhat easier, but Nintendo surprisingly released an update last month (despite discontinuing the 3DS last year) that fixed the last exploit.

DanAtC··on Airyx OS
Unity was originally designed for netbooks with limited screen real estate.
DanAtC··on Airyx OS
Ubuntu's Unity was a lot more macOS-like with the default global menu bar, then they gave up on it :( Gnome doesn't even have a menu bar anymore, preferring apps use a single hamburger menu.
DanAtC··on Ask HN: What do you want your ISP to do better?
(Better) IPv6 support. For those that don't offer it, start. For those that do, offer more than a /60

Inversely, better IPv4 support: as a startup ISP you probably don't have much v4 space so you'll be relying on on CGNAT. But in the US at least, users have come to expect public IPv4 addresses. If that's too cost-prohibitive, at least make them available upon request or as a value-add.

DanAtC··on External IPv6 addresses for VM instances is now in General Availability
Reminder that news.ycombinator.com still doesn't have an IPv6 address.
