DeTheBug··on How would you say “She said goodbye too many times before.” in Latin?
Oh no I was not talking about slangs, this can be like

ودعت كثيرا

قالت وداعا كثيرا

ودعت مرارا

I'm Iraqi but I'm by no means an Arabic expert, I'm pretty sure there is a better way to give a more accurate expression for this in Arabic

DeTheBug··on How would you say “She said goodbye too many times before.” in Latin?
You can do something similar with Arabic, I can think of few ways to squeeze it into 4~2 words phrase (variations) without sacrificing clarity
DeTheBug··on Baghdad closes LED advert screens after hacker shows porn film on a screen
Iraqi here *facepalm* again it's not a spooky cyber attack, it's the stupid way they operate these screens, they use anydesk and teamviewer to control them, they're hooked to windows machines and often times they show the desktop and user/password is displayed on the big screen

Here is a real life pic by a friend https://imgur.com/a/g0LB9vt

DeTheBug··on Iraq lifts ban on Telegram after messaging app complies with authorities
Iraqi here, Telegram itself has nothing todo with any of it, it's all the governments fault they have a poor security measures most of these leaks are not even leaks by a cyber attack or even social engineering it's just ignorant employees that can barely use a computer posting shit online
DeTheBug··on Ask HN: Looking for a Firefox compatible extension for voice controlled actions
You may want to give https://serenade.ai a try, they have browser support (might be chrome only? not sure), it's good enough, It has the " click publish" feature, and if it doesn't work then you can say like "show inputs" and it will show numbers next to each input so instead of saying "click publish" you say "click 14" etc...

DeTheBug··on Google Cloud Workstations managed development environment is now GA
Day2day usage? no not really, everything is smooth including the terminal and the built-in port-forwarding feature

You may notice a tiny delay when refreshing files or when using hot/live reload stuff, but it's sub-second and only becomes an issue of you dig for it

DeTheBug··on Google Cloud Workstations managed development environment is now GA
I've been running my dev env on a bare metal for almost 2 years now, the setup was pretty much just and SSH client setup with VSCode remote SSH extension.

Running on a Hetzner AX41-NVMe (6 cores, 64GB Ram, 2x512GB NVMe) for around $40ish. With GCP workstation for a e2-standard-4 (4 cores, 16GB Ram) would cost $230 + $10/mo for the 100GB storage

No hourly charge crap, can run all night do time and resource consuming tasks, huge storage space etc... all around good experience so far
