Outpox··on WhatsApp Encryption Security Flaws Could Allow Snoops to Slide into Group Chats
I'm trying to push Keybase within my friend group. I've yet to try Signal.
Outpox··on Ask HN: Does anyone use an alternative to a password manager?
I would suggest Bitward[0]. I used Lastpass (premium) for 3 years but when I switched from Chrome to Firefox Nightly a few months ago I learnt that Lastpass didn't have a web-extension for Firefox (it was the old extension which wasn't compatible anymore). I waited a few months hoping they would release it quickly since there's very little difference between a Chrome and Firefox extension but nope. So I canceled my plan, exported my data to Bitwarden and went with it instead. I haven't been disappointed.

Doesn't that void your warranty tough?

I would say that 600ms is just a _mechanical_ limitation.
Outpox··on What’s Next for Gitlab CI: Auto DevOps
My Gitlab instance broke 3 times in 5 months, and my questions/issues haven't been answered. I had to manage to backup my data, fully uninstall Gitlab and reinstall it. I then hosted it on a dedicated server using docker and it has been running much better since then.
Outpox··on When Bash scripts bite
For someone who hasn't done any Perl yet and only little Python could you explain why?

Awesome I was going to ask for something like this. And with both tools I might be able to make something very useful at work.
Outpox··on Ask HN: What smartphone would you recommend with superb battery life?
Nexus 6 owner, with the wifi, the Bluetooth, and the high precision GPS always enabled I usually last from 8am to midnight without charge. I mostly use it to browse Reddit and HN, text + phone calls and music.
Outpox··on Show HN: Getsy – browser/client-side web scraper
I was wondering what was the trick to be able to get around CORS restrictions. It seems that Getsy is a wrapper for https://crossorigin.me/

I've just started learning typescript and this is the kind of library I'm looking to write to improve myself. Good job!

I'll be using this for my next job, thanks!
Outpox··on Ask HN: What are your app monetisation strategies?
I've made a CS:GO online tool which gets ~40k visitors/month. Since I use adblockers I decided not to put ads on my website, but I instead placed a Paypal donate button which didn't worked even once.

So instead I placed my steam trading link which allows visitors to make trade offers with me. I couln't say how much it does represent but I've got ~5 trade offers per week.

Most of the time the weapon skins aren't worth much but I'm still glad because I've got to receive messages thanking me for the tool which is what I've always wanted.

Outpox··on HSTS Preload lists cause Chromium to think http://google/ is a valid domain
That's not what I understood of reading the posting guidelines [0] and especially "Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait."

If OP thought it was misleading, then he was right to adjust it?

Outpox··on iCloud was storing cleared browsing histories
I wanted to make one for Vivaldi but it doesn't use Chromium bookmarks API and there was a discussion about it already where it was said to be implemented with the option to sync on a self-hosted server. (https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/5816/sync-settings-and-bookm...) I've also been working on one for Chrome but haven't had time lately to work on it.
Outpox··on Privacy is Power: Why the fight for privacy matters
If you're that worried then you can encrypt your server or data folder if needed.
Outpox··on Grappling with Go
JS/Php dev here as well, I've been learning Rust for some weeks now and it is hard for me. I've never really done any C/C++ (only Java in my school) so a lot of concept are quite new. I'm currently working on an API wrapper in Rust to improve myself, it's been a week already and I'm still working on it whereas I could have done it in 30mn in JS.

Outpox··on Loading Chrome Extensions in Brave
I have been looking for a new browser to replace Chrome (2017 is the year when I try to get some distance from all those Google services) and gave a change to Brave. I tried to add my own extension by naively copying their folder inside the Brave extension folder, but it failed.

I'm currently using Vivaldi and even set it as my current browser for now, because of the ease of adding extensions.

Outpox··on Is the MMORPG Dying?
A bit out of context but it reminds me how I met my current team 8 years ago on Crysis and the awesome memories I have with. We see each others for a full week every year, and I'm even flatsharing with one of them.

I went to Bruxelles earlier this year with 5 other friends and I'm glad we were able to rent a whole flat for 3 days, we wouldn't have been able to do so by renting from professional. Altough we noticed that the place we were staying in was dedicated to being rented all the time.
