authed··on Building a Blog in Rails in 2021

authed··on Web3 is going just great
I gave my private key to some random person on the internet and he drained my wallet... Why do we need JavaScript to see a simple list of random events anyways?
authed··on Find anything fast with Google's vector search technology
I have more trouble finding exactly what I'm looking for using Google, for me it started going down hill when they removed the Plus operator (and no quotes don't work the same).

Also, Yandex is much better for reverse image search (similar images).

authed··on The web is fucked
> Sounds like he remembers an over romanticized version of the web.

Nowadays, anything that is gaining enough popularity to eventually possibly compete with the mega-corps gets purchased and often shutdown.

authed··on Toyota owners have to pay $8/month to keep using their key fob for remote start
That sounds like something Tesla would do... I'm a bit surprised coming from Toyota.
authed··on Terms of Service: Monitoring and Anti-Cheat
Anti-cheat should be on the server... not on the client. Otherwise, it will never work (probably still won't because no one figured out perfect software, but it would be a start).
authed··on As an investor, why is crypto so hard to value?
> Repeat it enough and the dogma gradually becomes a truth you can build anything on top of.

That's what people that don't understand it hope.

authed··on Ask HN: Why is building Windows apps so complicated?
I use GPSLogger that saves my ride to a GPX file that can then be imported wherever you want.
authed··on KeePassX Development Stopped
something wrong with the url.... correct url: https://www.keepassx.org/index.html%3Fp=636.html
authed··on The Internet Has a Rat Poison Problem
Here is a cool mouse trap video that also shows you that Google not only censors white supremacists, terrorists and similar content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKyIcX6I_AQ&t=726s
authed··on Six dead after tornadoes destroy Amazon warehouse near St Louis
6 deaths will reduce profits and something else.
authed··on E-Shotgun
I'd rather get a PCP Air riffle... something like this one in .50 cal: https://www.airgundepot.com/airforce-texan-air-rifle-carbon-...
authed··on China Has Locked Up over 300 Uyghur Intellectuals in Detention Camps
thanks for fixing my ignorance
authed··on China Has Locked Up over 300 Uyghur Intellectuals in Detention Camps
Are you talking about Yemen? I think that Obama was also part of it with drone strikes.
authed··on Tell HN: Lost then regained access to Google account, with correct credentials
I don't like it when you replace my title and make it confusing.. almost seems like I only had the correct credentials when I regained access (dang)
authed··on Dutch man, 69, starts legal fight to identify as 20 years younger (2018)
> Identifying as male or female is pretty much an arbitrary social structure

Are you sure that everyone's cells age at the same rate?

authed··on Dutch man, 69, starts legal fight to identify as 20 years younger (2018)
Can't they change their sex on their driver's license/ID card? (it's pretty much all that matters, probably, as of today)

reply to comment below: What I mean is that you could say that you are a male/female or whatever you want and X years old and you would have documentation to back it up.

authed··on Dutch man, 69, starts legal fight to identify as 20 years younger (2018)
If we can change our sex, we should be able to change our age.

LGBTQA+ ?

authed··on Up all night with a Twitch millionaire
better investment then a Ferrari
authed··on Why TV Lost (2009)
I wish that mega corps would be required to be dumb pipes like ISPs and let law enforcement make requests to take stuff down.
authed··on Why TV Lost (2009)
This is just one of thousands of examples...

https://old.reddit.com/r/moderatepolitics/ is surely better then the one you mentioned (but it gets a lot less exposure).

authed··on Why TV Lost (2009)
Another example is Google heavily censoring search results.... it is spreading everywhere. The top websites all do it.

I do use Yandex and other websites when what I'm looking for is hidden (but the list of websites that aren't censoring (or are censoring different stuff) is shrinking).

authed··on Why TV Lost (2009)
We are heading back toward the "TV" era... Where speech is controlled/censored 98% of the time. Take for example /r/politics where 10-25% of daily front page posts are talking against Trump and anyone going against their ideology will get banned.
authed··on Amazon packages pile up after AWS outage spawns delivery havoc
there was a couple comments that matched this search filter.... not that many, but thanks.
authed··on paulgraham.com is serving the certificate for *.store.yahoo.com
at least he got one, now
authed··on Amazon packages pile up after AWS outage spawns delivery havoc
I read many comments and didn't see one that was saying that but you might be right as I was too lazy to read everything.
authed··on Ask HN: Why Last Year's top links search provides only 34 pages?
You are lucky because algolia was down for me today... because of Amazon perhaps?
authed··on Arch Packages You Might Want to Install
youtube-dl should probably be replaced with yt-dlp.. but I like Firefox, Thunderbird, vlc, git, keepassxc... I don't think that I ever needed to install sudo though... you are missing a lot of gems, like Blender, GIMP, Inkscape, nmap, mutt, irssi, gparted, jedit, go, unrar, wireguard-tools, syncthing, obs-studio, audacity...

the command below appears to list packages installed by the user:

    comm -23 <(pacman -Qqett | sort) <(pacman -Qqg base -g base-devel | sort | uniq)

authed··on Firefox 95 Released
Which version did they remove the cool screenshot feature? seems like they just added it.... (you could easily take a screenshot of the whole page)

Edit: Looks like Firefox 88 only moved the feature: https://techdows.com/2021/03/firefox-88-removes-screenshot-o...

I wonder what useless/detrimental move they made this time

I remember when they removed the right-click View Image not long ago... luckily there's an add-on that can bring back this basic feature.

authed··on Bypassing 2FA – Secret double octopus [2019]
I love it... but I didn't see it until I unblocked JavaScript... they are probably just laughing at the current mess.
