aspyct··on Ask HN: As a senior engineer content with programming chops, what to learn next?
Hehe, unfortunately python is more of a personal occupation. I wish I could use it at work too, but it's really not in our stack.
aspyct··on Permissive forwarding rule leads to unintentional exposure of containers (2021)
Does that really protect me against the "routing through" my machine they explain?
aspyct··on Permissive forwarding rule leads to unintentional exposure of containers (2021)
I am (was) using portainer on my host to manage my docker containers.

Turns out everything was, indeed, publicly accessible. I could fix it for my custom containers, by binding on 127.0.0.1:<port>, but I can't edit portainer's config.

Anyone has a solution for this?

aspyct··on Tailscale SSH
I started using tailscale a few days ago, and I absolutely love it.

However, one thing is still nagging me: technically, they can add devices to my network without telling me, right? Or is there something I'm missing?

aspyct··on Ask HN: As a senior engineer content with programming chops, what to learn next?
Hehe, I'm doing a lot of SQL and python and feel the same about "solve pretty much anything". Is that the golden duo?
aspyct··on Bitcoin losses are piling up for companies that added crypto to balance sheet
None whatsoever.
aspyct··on Bitcoin losses are piling up for companies that added crypto to balance sheet
Right. Are we done wasting resources on that now?
aspyct··on Scotland starts renewed case for independence
Go Scotland!

I would certainly be happy to welcome Scotland back into the EU, no questions asked. You have a lovely country, people, culture and mindset. I have always felt more than welcome when visiting Scotland, and I can only wish to return the favor.

aspyct··on Apple, stop this nonsense and just put a decent camera in your laptops
This article sounds like it's written by a kid crying because he didn't get the extra candy he demanded.

1. 1080p is plenty for videoconferencing. We're not filming a movie, are we?

2. you're given the option to use a far more competent camera if you'd like

3. provided you don't absolutely _need_ the clamp for this to work (I don't know), you could position the camera in a much better place than in the "up your nose" position.

This is a nice feature. Why is that dude crying?

aspyct··on Linux Laptop – HP Dev One Is Available
Ahahah what a hilarious way to say it :D
aspyct··on Tell HN: I used the same computer since 2007 (with minor upgrades)
You have a point, but I don't remember that time when people used to write their own Haskell compilers...
aspyct··on Linux Laptop – HP Dev One Is Available
I really don't care about 4k on a small screen.

Sorry, 1000 nit display? Really? That's sunlight-readable, right?
aspyct··on Game Boy Camera Canon EF Lens Mount (2018)
That doesn't seem right.

Out of focus blur is a function of focal length and aperture. The sensor size only dictates the crop.

In this case, the lens widest setting with a 1.4 extender is 98mm @ f/4. On a full frame sensor, something 10ft behind a in-focus 40ft away thing would still be very recognisable. Since a crop sensor is just a crop, I don't think it would have a different effect.

The 1200mm focal length equivalent only applies to the fov radius, not to the blurriness.

What's your definition of "pure blur" then?

aspyct··on Game Boy Camera Canon EF Lens Mount (2018)
Not sure how narrow the depth of field would be with the 1.4x extender and the tiny little sensors though.
aspyct··on Ask HN: What's your greatest enjoyment in life?
Horses.

They're cute, smart, interesting, kind, bring you back to the present like nothing else, and there's so much you can live with them, from quiet to high energy moments.

Working with them (the right way) forces you to learn patience, communication, emotion management and to curb your ego.

I would say, of all the strong defining events in my life, horses brought me the most and the best.

aspyct··on 9-Euro-Ticket
Nice!

And here I am in Belgium, stuck with the SNCB/NMBS, a small country where doing a few miles by train takes an hour, the trains are always late, there's no place to sit, and it's expensive.

I love Belgium, but not its trains.

aspyct··on Designing for non-rectangular browser windows
I vote for the star shaped phone. And against. Really, both at the same time. This would be terrifyingly awesome.
aspyct··on Computer work lying down comfortably with a home-made stand over the bed
That mouse setup would insta-kill my wrist. Other than that, looks pretty nice.
aspyct··on Chainless electric drive system “Free Drive” for bicycles (2021)
Why, the single gear of course :D
aspyct··on Chainless electric drive system “Free Drive” for bicycles (2021)
On my e-bike it's more of a walk assist tool. Press a button and the bike will push itself uphill. It's nice, considering the weight of the beast :)
aspyct··on Chainless electric drive system “Free Drive” for bicycles (2021)
Most "average" riders don't put out more than 100 or 200W when pedalling. I'm pretty sure 250W is plenty to get a bike going.
aspyct··on Python Language Summit: Python Without the GIL
Hasn't he been hired my Microsoft recently, to work on python again?
aspyct··on Python Language Summit: Python Without the GIL
It may work for your codebase, but the GIL has deep implications for any multithreaded code. For a long time now we've relied on the GIL for some level of thread safety. I'm afraid removing it would cause quite a few libraries to fail in unexpected ways.
aspyct··on Show HN: Tetris, but silly
I wanted to shake things into place on my phone, but it didn't work. So broken :D
aspyct··on Ask HN: My house just got hit by lightning and it fried the PSU in my computer
A well-balanced mix of sales, statistics and insurance probably:)
aspyct··on Ask HN: Is the EULA on my new $30k RED cinema camera legal?
The fact that the raw is 16bits says nothing about image quality.
aspyct··on A few things to know before stealing my 914
Oh that's a good read. Thanks for sharing :)
aspyct··on Temporary issues accessing Proton services
Emails are retried for a while before being dropped. Usually a day or two. After that, the sender is normally notified by his mail provider.
aspyct··on Re-use cell phone as a computer?
Not all phones support graphical output through USB unfortunately. The Samsung S phones (with Dex) support HDMI, but my old Pixel 2 won't do that.
