Koldark··on IRS Awards Equifax $7.25M Contract to Help 'Verify Taxpayer Identities'
We need to remember that this process probably started months ago before the hack. Also, remember that Equifax (while not really loved) was not really thought about as being a really bad company.
Koldark··on .NET on Linux – bye, Windows 10
I have never seen this behavior. It gives me the option to reboot on "off hours"
Koldark··on VirtualBox 5.0 officially released
I might need to try this before my next upgrade to Parallels. If it works for what I need why spend the 100 bucks for each upgrade.
Koldark··on Ham or Spam? Gmail Not to Be Trusted for Important Mail
Welcome to the real world where email is unreliable. Gmail could be replaced with any service or corporation running their own email servers. Stop the spammers and email can be reliable again.
Koldark··on Minions ipsum
Love it!
Koldark··on Why I’m breaking up with Google Chrome
It might be. We use several apps that require Silverlight. I am sure Microsoft will update Silverlight in the future to work differently, but I can't do my work without Silverlight.
Koldark··on Twitter, but without code
If in 2020, all those people are programmers, we are going to have some shitty software! If the people I worked with wrote software, they might fix their own itch and not think about the bigger picture nor the others in the organization.

I wonder what the data source(s) are?

How did you implement this? I would like to use this to monitor my ISP as well.
Koldark··on Serve your GitHub pages with SSL using CloudFlare's free plan
Yes, it is a false sense of security, but in this case it is static content being served. This should not be used in eCommerce sites.
Koldark··on Serve your GitHub pages with SSL using CloudFlare's free plan
Yep, I did that a while ago. https://mikewills.me/2014/11/14/now-powered-by-ssl.html

Koldark··on Terms of Service; Didn't Read
This has been around for years already.
Koldark··on Poll: Did you “drop Dropbox”?
While I use it, I don't USE it. I have some apps that still use Dropbox for backup/syncing, but otherwise I don't store files in Dropbox.
Koldark··on Ask HN: Do you still use an RSS reader?
Yes, I just came to this post via Feedly.
Koldark··on Show HN: CloudTunes
I am a developer, I haven't dug into how he was processing the audio. I was simply asking a question. I don't use Dropbox so I was simply asking if it was on the roadmap so I could try it in the future.
Koldark··on Show HN: CloudTunes
I was just simply asking if it was on the roadmap. I don't use Dropbox so I can't try it out.
Koldark··on Show HN: CloudTunes
What about OneDrive and Google Drive support?

You mean like: http://mikewills.me/sucka/ ? Jekyll and S3.
Koldark··on How can I help my local government as a developer / designer?
Sit down with your smaller cities and find out their needs. In many cases they have 1-2 IT staff and don't have time to automate process X.
Koldark··on Show HN: Configure domain redirects and URL forwarding with a simple DNS record
So I have to trust my domain with a 3rd party and pray they never shut down? No thanks!

It's there. When you edit and show options, you can deliver to email or RSS.

I am with eps here. I would rather manually update something then use an relatively unknown package manager. Even if the package is from Github and MS is behind the package manager.
Koldark··on Head & Shoulders has a dirty secret
It wouldn't be a secret ingredient if it was listed somewhere. :-P
Koldark··on Ask HN: I'm bored with programming, what should I do?
If you are burnt out from your current job, you need a new job. Maybe find a smaller team where you get more variety in your day. I did this 6 years ago where I went from a job of basically modifying vendor code and creating new reports to somedays I don't even know when I am going to be doing on this day due to support calls, etc. I love the variety and keeps my on my toes.
Koldark··on Getting started with login verification
So... how do I protect my 2nd Twitter account? You can only associate your mobile number to 1 account. How will these social media companies protect the many accounts that they manage? While this is a good first step, it's a major fail. They didn't think through how Twitter is actually used and instead just put a band-aide on a problem.
Koldark··on Ask HN: What options are there for long-term web site hosting?
Amazon S3 has a monthly charge. Kind of hard to pay when you are dead and it'd be kind of a dick move to expect your kids and grandkids to pay it.
Koldark··on Poll: Male or female or other
Does it really matter???
Koldark··on CloudFlare partners with Authy to implement two-factor authentication
Not against 2-factor, but now I have to install yet another application of questionable origin to trust my access to. Why not just use Google Authenticator?
