benarent··on Apache Guacamole: a clientless remote desktop gateway
At Teleport we had a lot of requests to support Windows / RDP. We ended up building our own Go/Rust Client into our server/web client. This gave more control over the RDP protocol and authentication.

benarent··on Launch HN: EdgeBit (YC W23) – live software vulnerability analysis
Congrats on the launch. This is a solid team, exciting use of eBPF and an important problem to solve.
benarent··on Passkeys for Infrastructure
Adding a second factor is more a UX glitch that we're working on. https://github.com/gravitational/teleport/issues/19314 https://www.passkeys.io/ provides a better flow and we'll likley see more sites moving in this direction.

OP here: We are cooking up something cool at Teleport, drop me an email ben@goteleport.com and I'll invite you to the preview.
benarent··on SSH Keygen – RSA, DSA, Ecdsa, EdDSA
If you setup SSH keys a while ago, you might want to run the below command to discover the type / key strength. If you're reading HackerNews comments, this might be good time to run an audit. Also; before going all in on Ed25519, native support from some cloud providers is limited.

$ for key in ~/.ssh/id_*; do ssh-keygen -l -f "${key}"; done | uniq

benarent··on Teleport 4.3: Modern Replacement for OpenSSH
Hey Rob, We are considering this. Send me mail, it would be good to get more feedback ben@gravitational.com
benarent··on Teleport 4.3: Modern Replacement for OpenSSH
We love OpenSSH, and you can even setup Teleport in Recording mode. https://gravitational.com/teleport/docs/architecture/telepor...

but there are many good reasons to use the Teleport Library. https://gravitational.com/blog/openssh-vs-teleport/

benarent··on Teleport 4.3: Modern Replacement for OpenSSH
This can only get you so far. We invested a lot time into getting more from system access event using eBPF to take n unstructured SSH session and outputs a stream of structured events. https://gravitational.com/blog/enhanced-session-recording/
benarent··on Teleport 4.3: Modern Replacement for OpenSSH
Hey HN! I Director of Product for Teleport, and that does include CLI and YAML experience. This is a bumper release, with a bunch of fixes https://github.com/gravitational/teleport/releases/tag/v4.3.... . Even for OpenSSH users using Teleport in Recording Proxy mode.

As always I love some HN comments. While you do need a running proxy. You can use Teleport without ever having to use the UI.

Here to answer any questions.

benarent··on Sketch2Code: Turn whiteboard sketches to working code
AirBnB have created a similar project. They posted this back in October https://airbnb.design/sketching-interfaces/
benarent··on Market Conditions, Trends and Home Prices in San Francisco
I would be interested to read more about what'll happen in the case of the next large quake. Since we're overdue a big one[1]. I recently had a friend big on a duplex in the Marina. I'm not sure if I would take a 20 - 30 yr real estate bet in a liquefaction zone.

benarent··on Square obtains NY State cryptocurrency license
Yeah. I found it. https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/6307 The menu is pretty hidden.
benarent··on Square obtains NY State cryptocurrency license
One interesting product decision with Square Cash and Robinhood Crypto services is that customers can't transfer off as BTC ( to another exchange / hardware wallet) . When I asked Robinhood they said it was so customers didn't user BTC for illegal activity as they hadn't built out specific anti-money laundering measures.
benarent··on Amazon Echo Look
I've recently built a Slack Doorbell using a Cheap D-Link Webcam and a AWS IoT Button. The one thing that surprised me was the lack of a good internet enabled camera, the D-Link basically has basic AUTH and for capturing photos is the same username and password as for remote. Does anyone know of a good and secure RESTFUL Internet Connected camera?
benarent··on Snap Inc. S-1
It's great to see both founders ( Evan and Bobby ) ended out with equal shares, both at 21.8% of Common A Stock. The history is pretty interesting, and as always there is a possible 3rd founder. https://techcrunch.com/2013/07/31/spiegel-murphy-say-alleged...
benarent··on Bose Hearphones
An ex-coworker founded http://www.neuromoddevices.com/technology. It's still in the clinical research stage, but it's a cool device that utilise bi-modal neuromodulation and aim to promote positive therapeutic change within the human nervous system.
benarent··on Show HN: CrashBreak – Reproduce exceptions as failing tests in Ruby
@mjaneczek, this is a cool project and a nice take on yet another error tracking service. We built this feature into Airbrake back in 2012, https://airbrake.io/blog/extension/airbrake-chrome-extension but we didn't get enough feedback to get it back into local development. Projects such as https://github.com/charliesome/better_errors have been a great addition to the Rails error workflow.

It's a tough business to get into, but I would suggest talking to the large players and having a standard for exception replays. I wish you the best of luck, feel free to reach out and keep up the great work.

benarent··on ClickInsights – One Click Email Surveys for Instant Feedback
Nice App Tony. We've been using Temper.io and promoter.io for NPS on support and a few features. We would love to use it at Airbrake.io
benarent··on A Better Way to Track JavaScript Errors
Full disclosure, I run product at http://airbrake.io.

We've always had high demand for Javascript error reporting. We've been slowly building out a new notifier which address the importance of page load and capturing errors without blocking the page load. https://github.com/airbrake/airbrake-js

One of the main problems is clients / IE, not only on how they throw errors but also standards of source-map support and standardisation of how errors should be handled.

I welcome trackjs and all over javascript errors to come together to help make it better for all developers. I'm not sure on actions yet but NewRelic has started to do great work in the Node space already.

@ToddGardner! We wish you the best of luck, the app looks great.

benarent··on Making Angular.js real-time with Websockets
This is a great introduction, defiantly something we're going to experiment with.
benarent··on CircleCI raises $6m Series A
Congrats Paul, Allen and team. It's been a pleasure to see CircleCi grow into the incredible fast CI service with a real detail in the UX of integrating into developer workflow.

Can't wait to see what you do next.

benarent··on Just got an Amber Alert on my Phone
For those interested, this is what the push notification looks like. http://cl.ly/image/2T19133Y1P22

It didn't link to anything, seems like it could be improved. This is the first one I've ever seen.

benarent··on Ask HN: What exception tracking service do you use?
Disclaimer: I work on Exceptional and Airbrake.

We eat our down dog food and use newrelic and logentries. We've a few big updates in the coming months. If you would like to get early access please email ben@airbrake.io

benarent··on Exceptional acquires Ranger Monitoring
The team is pumped to make the announcement of the acquisition. It's been a pleasure working with Shay Frendt.

We'll be follow up with more information about the integration in next week, but for anyone at AWS Re:Invent. We'll be throwing a launch party tonight http://blog.exceptional.io/event/exceptional-invites-you-to-... and keeping on the theme of Ranger. We'll be making an official launch event at a shooting range tomorrow. A few spaces are still available. http://launch.ranger.io
