anonymousse1234··on Ask HN: What helps you improve your mood and keep your sanity?
Going to the shooting range and shooting friendly matches between club members. Fiddling with my home servers (NUC-s). Eating chocolate. Running on an elliptical machine.
anonymousse1234··on Don't use third party auth to sign in
Buy your own domain and hosting for few bucks on Hetzner, OVH etc. they both support 2FA. Don't use Google for login. It's pretty simple and foolproof.

OVH supports Yubikeys, has DNSSEC and will give you 5GB mailbox for free in your domain just for buying it from them. You can also pay like 20$ per year for 100GB of space for WWW, backups (preferably encrypted) and other stuff.

And LTE modems. And sleep and suspend. Oh there is also this bug with screen locking that shows your desktop for few seconds. Oh and with dual graphic chipsets too.

How often are those attackers actually trained to take on a heavily armed semi-crazed target in his own home and surroundings?
anonymousse1234··on Doomsday prepping – Disaster planning for less crazy folk (2016)
Robbers will choose the easyiest route. They just want stuff and not assasinate specifically someone, they will rob somebody other if they find a hard target. Probably somebody like you. It works the same with muggings. 2 people is enough to get some sleep and run errands.

That's your perspective.

Believe it or not there is even a decent amount of gun owners on this side too.

anonymousse1234··on Doomsday prepping – Disaster planning for less crazy folk (2016)
How are you going to be surprised sitting in your home in case of emergency with not much other to do?

Gun guys aren't liked here but if somebody is going to get a nasty surprise it would be the bad guys.

If you are a hard target bandits will most likely choose another one.

anonymousse1234··on Disaster prepping is mainstream again
You can't say it out loud because it's politically incorrect but true.

I have some karma points to burn :)

anonymousse1234··on Doomsday prepping – Disaster planning for less crazy folk (2016)
If that would be the case prepare to defend your stash or at least take some of the bandits with you like many preppers do.

Don't be an easy target.

It's refreshing to read that on hackernews.

anonymousse1234··on OpenPGP in Rust: The Sequoia Project
Ahh the unending saga of people too lazy to read some GPG man pages and proposing unfitting replacements.

Long live GPG!

anonymousse1234··on Security by obscurity is underrated
Informed analysis like lack of forward secrecy in something made for non ephemeral communication - for storing, sending files, digital signatures etc. Or backwards compatibility so you can access and verify your backups, archives etc. from 10 or more years ago.

Show me ephemeral encryption scheme for something that needs to be readable in the future like that.

This analysis is highly uninformed I would say.

anonymousse1234··on Tech my dad banned in our house when I was a kid
I'm in team Bosch.
anonymousse1234··on Tired of note-taking apps
I'm using Pilot Custom 74 fountain pen with my favourite inks on high quality paper notebooks. It makes me want to take notes due to the whole experience and does't restrict me in any way the computer does . For longer text/programming related stuff nothing beats pure text and files in common directory.
anonymousse1234··on Fountain pen ink properties
"do not use this ink in fountain pens "

This is not a fountain pen ink but recreation of historic inks used with non-fountain pens.

For fountain pens try Platinum blue-black, Pelikan 4001 blue-black, Diamine Registrar's.

anonymousse1234··on Fountain pen ink properties
Pilot Namiki Blue-Black is cellulose reactive and very permanent yet safe for fountainpens.
anonymousse1234··on Xrdp: An open source RDP server
I use RDP multiple times every day. I have tested Linux RDP server implementations and they are very buggy and really not production ready only NX kinda is (yet not as good as MS RDP). VNC is so bad and lacks so many features that it's not even considered a competition - it's old insecure slow protocol that should be forgotten by now.
anonymousse1234··on Data leak reveals how China 'brainwashes' Uighurs in prison camps
Soviet Union did exactly that - they had gulags.

North Korea is doing exactly that as we speak.

anonymousse1234··on KiCad Joins Linux Foundation to Advance Electronic Design Automation
You can try gEDA topological autorouter Toporouter: https://youtu.be/NqT4ZYGB3VY

You can also use TopoR autorouter for free: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TopoR

Topological routers make really interesting board designs looking like something retro or biological in its nature :)
