Fastidious··on Dropbox Pro – 1 TB for $99/year
You are going to hate the new --upcoming-- BTSync.
Fastidious··on Ask HN: Besides bigger font-size for headlines, something else changed in HN?
I do not see any bigger font headlines. They look the same to me. The "show", "ask", and "jobs" on the menu (perhaps not all, but at least one) are new.
Fastidious··on Judge Sentenced to 28 Years for Selling Kids to the Prison System (2013)
It should be noted that this is a year old news.
Fastidious··on Gogs: a self-hosted Git Service written in Go
It uses Flash? Good looking application otherwise.
Fastidious··on DigitalOcean or Linode? What Do You Guys Recommend?
I have used both. When I used Linode, I never experienced a downtime. Ever. On DigitalOcean, I experience many (includes timeouts, and slow response).

For something serious, I recommend Linode. But the cheapest setup is $20/month. For testing, or to spawn many machines, real fast, cheaply, DigitalOcean. Can't beat $5/month or fractions for hourly use!

Fastidious··on Crafting link underlines on Medium
Excellent, thanks!
Fastidious··on Crafting link underlines on Medium
I am sorry I did not explain myself well. I meant it without the H1, a regular link on a paragraph.
Fastidious··on Crafting link underlines on Medium
Tried to make it work on links and couldn't. Care to give it a try?
Fastidious··on WRTnode Opened for $25
This proves one thing: you need to keep trying.
Fastidious··on Show HN: EmailPK – Instant encrypted email
"NOTE: THIS IS A PROOF OF CONCEPT. DO NOT USE FOR REAL SECRETS"

Other than being a proof of concept, what is the real problem on using this for "real secrets?" Are there plans to take it our of proof of concept to something usable then? I see your myLock carries the same disclaimer, what is the point then?

Fastidious··on [dead]
I read this, but at the end I am not sure what I read. What is it supposed to mean? Sincerely curious.
Fastidious··on Caesar and the Pirates
You make a very interesting point that never occur to me. How many of the stories of great men are just that? Makes me look to "history" in a different way.
Fastidious··on An amateur linguist loses control of the language he invented (2012)
That would be atrocious! You need to flavour and enjoy the reading, just the same you enjoy a nice drink, or a good cup of coffee, or you take the time to make coitus a never-ending engagement.

Just enjoy it.

Fastidious··on Email Is Still the Best Thing on the Internet
Indeed! One think --among others-- that Gmail has done very well is search, which is expected, as Google specializes on that.
Fastidious··on Email Is Still the Best Thing on the Internet
I agree. I think there is more that can be done to enhance it, and make it a more enjoyable tool. Email clients --and I am not talking about third party services a la Mailbox, who rely yet in another server-- are still very primitive.
Fastidious··on Focus the address bar in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox with ⌘ + L
Those keystrokes were one of the first things I learned (same applies to Windows). Minimizing the amount of time my hands spend away from the keyboard has always been a plus. I hate the mouse.
Fastidious··on Focus the address bar in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox with ⌘ + L
Out of curiosity, how long have you used OS X?
Fastidious··on Show HN: Get paid for crawling the web
Who gets paid? The Chrome Extension developer? But it is the user machine/network performing the work, right?

There is something in this I don't like. Can't quite put my finger on it.

Fastidious··on Arq backs up to Google Drive storage
The second, for sure. You are right.
Fastidious··on Arq backs up to Google Drive storage
How is it more "noob?" Considering the esoteric file format Arq uses, I will not call backups with it to Google Drive simple. If anything, they might be very confusing.

I wonder is Stephan meant Google Storage instead...

UPDATE: Just read that is uses "appdata" directory. Mom and dad will not 'see' the data.

Fastidious··on Guacamole – HTML5 Clientless Remote Desktop
I don't understand, It seems HTML5 video to me. What kind of setup do you have?
Fastidious··on That WoW server blade
The parent comment was deleted, but I saw this on Reddit[1] before it popped in here.

Fastidious··on Ask HN: HTML styled newsletters? or Plaintext?
+1 Plain text.
Fastidious··on Letter from Julian Assange to President Putin sent last Thursday [pdf]
Wouldn't it make more sense to have written the letter in Russian? (and link a translation for the rest of the world).
Fastidious··on Wikipedia refuses to delete photo taken by monkey
Wikimedia Foundation is wrong. The photo belongs to the owner of the camera who captured the photo. This, of course, would be a total different issue if the operator of the camera was human.
Fastidious··on Navdy: HUD for your car
Looked interesting. Lets watch the video! "Missing Plug-in." Duh! (Homer style)

Fastidious··on Homeless Fonts
Very interesting project, with curious stories and results that can be used by all of us. Very well done!
Fastidious··on My Synology NAS has been hacked by ransomware calling itself Synolocker
You are trolling me, yes? Next you will say Crytolocker is a Windows vulnerability (that is not to say that Windows does not have vulnerabilities).
Fastidious··on My Synology NAS has been hacked by ransomware calling itself Synolocker
No affiliation. I am sure my account is not the only one recently created. Merely a coincidence.

I own a DS411J. Really happy with it.
