chimen··on EU Draft Council Declaration Against Encryption [pdf]
Always a terrorist. This is starting to sound like a well known recipe for pushing new laws of this sort.
chimen··on Go in Production – Lessons Learned
This article has almost nothing to do with Go in particular. Just...general stuff to follow when writing code. What is it here that talks specific things about "Go" + "in production"?
chimen··on Ask HN: What can replace my iPod for podcast listening?
Get an M9, M11 or M11PRO depending on budget (https://fiio.com/m9). These are also high fidelity players so you get a lot of value for the buck. Fiio is killing it in this field. I own an M11Pro and does everything.
chimen··on Rust vs. Go
frontpage material right there
chimen··on Managing my personnal servers in 2020 with K3s
"by an open source project called..." - claim it. It's your only submission on this portal anyway.
chimen··on Sean Connery has died
Couldn't stand his accent :)
chimen··on Show HN: Tara – A free Jira alternative, now with Gitlab
Not doing it any more since I migrated to Firebase. avg of 700 visitors/day to a Gatsby blog coupled with forms that send about 10 email/day that was it yes.
chimen··on Intermittent fasting from dawn to sunset induces anticancer response
Isn;t it from down till sunset?
chimen··on Intermittent fasting from dawn to sunset induces anticancer response
I dropped the same argument in a previous "fasting" post here and nobody reacted. Over a billion people fast "religiously" during Ramadan so why do we need so many studies when we should be able to draw conclusions from these arab countries vs the rest of the world pretty easily.
chimen··on Show HN: Tara – A free Jira alternative, now with Gitlab
Free like in Netlify where you end'up paying hundreds of dollars/month for a static side hosted on a cdn. Free means: settle in, bring everything you have over here, come on, we will discuss pricing later on when you're stuck in my bubble.
chimen··on No Logs VPN
I put my own name and reputation behind it. Those words are real since you end'up with both the server and the client.
chimen··on Show HN: Which DNS servers are you pointing to?
Did one for my project that discovers more servers [1] Not an easy task I tell you that.

chimen··on Wim Hof’s teachings about breath work and the health benefits of cold plunges
It's being looked down by the same people that tend to believe in miracle cures. One has to make his own reality true in order to cope with society and scrutiny. Placebo is required in trials for new medicine actually, far from being looked down upon.
chimen··on New fitness habits being created during Covid?
Get a TRX equipment and work with your body weight. I train all my muscle groups with it. It weighs about 500 grams and can fit in any backpack.
chimen··on One hour of slow breathing changed my life
- "cycling is dangerous"

- "hiking is dangerous"

- "swimming is dangerous"

- "running is dangerous"

- "cycling complications"

- "running complications"

...all day long - just append certain keywords and you'll find many articles and studies to feed your subjective belief and win arguments.

I did and talked with a lot of people doing mindfulness meditation and none of them warned me against it. I don't doubt your claims but I think they are exceptions and just about any activity can be found to be dangerous when looking at the exceptions.

chimen··on Google’s top search result is Google
Here, on ProductHunt and any other way. How did Firefox re-invent itself? It attacked the very thing that Google could not provide: privacy. How is DDG on such a good trend lately? It requires a lot of effort I agree but google also put a lot of effort into their own products.
chimen··on Google’s top search result is Google
Just tested and tried translating English to romanian (my language) - doesn't exist :)
chimen··on Google’s top search result is Google
I am constantly trying new things. I just ditched duckduck go for the third time. I'm using firefox since 2 months. I am aware of alternatives. I WANT to ditch Google too but I get value from it atm that I cannot find elsewhere.
chimen··on Google’s top search result is Google
Many of them save me extra clicks which is convenient. Google translate, maps and search has no competitors that even come close in terms of quality. I will get mad when those products have better alternatives but it's not the case. Build better alternatives and I'm on board. In the end, Google is a business - I would promote my own shit on the first vertical as well. One thing that pisses me off is the AMP ordeal but, other than that, I extract value from Google.

I am on Google to find results to my questions - I want the quickest exit and that's what they provide. If they fail to do that they back down trust me, these guys watch "the numbers" carefully.

chimen··on To Get More Replies, Say Less (2017)
I'm one of those that dropped and moved to Firebase. The monthly payments were topping somewhere at $130 for a static website with 700-800 daily visitors and Netlify was starting to corner me into paying extra for every little detail possible. I clearly felt that onboarding was off and it's time to milk every cent.
chimen··on To Get More Replies, Say Less (2017)
Life must be really hard if you get to that point where a welcome email coming from a service you signed up for a trial is so "annoying" that you "immediately mark as junk".
chimen··on Dealing with Insomnia
I'm using NC headphones for years. Highly recommend Sony MX3 or even MX2.

The issue for me is that I'm now worried of the constant Bluetooth waves that go into my brain since I wear these headsets pretty much the entire time I spend at the computer (quite a lot). I actually gave up wearing them due to this concern.

I tried finding a headphone that does noise canceling and produces audio without bluetooth. There's nothing on the market. Something with a processor for NC and normal audio input for audio.

chimen··on Dealing with Insomnia
I fall asleep too using podcasts but that only works for 1-2 hours then I wake up without being able to fall asleep again.
chimen··on SAS Rescue 3 Trapped British Diplomats in Albania
Recommended watch on Youtube: SASA who dares wins. I'm hooked.
chimen··on ExSaaSperated: A blog about the struggle to start a sustainable SaaS
I struggle to find anything "frontpage material" on that page.
chimen··on Linux Mint drops Ubuntu Snap packages
The fact that you have to post on a forum and argue with people why you need permission X for your snap package was enough for me to abort publishing on this platform. I should ask permissions from the users not from the platform publishers on a forum post.
chimen··on Agonising surgery paved the way for anaesthetics
Some things cannot be unseen: this video can be quite traumatic for certain people.
chimen··on 30 Years Ago, Romania Deprived Thousands of Babies of Human Contact
> Really poor analogy btw

I'm not surprised. How about the house he just lost in Brasov's court which concluded it was acquired with fake documents? I know: "Shitty court"

chimen··on 30 Years Ago, Romania Deprived Thousands of Babies of Human Contact
Can you give me proof that Iliescu called the miners into Bucharest twice after the fall of Ceausescu and beat the shit out of people for the sole reason that they were walking on the streets? What is the proof that you require when we're talking about the current president? What constitutes proof? A conviction in court?...then, Iliescu is innocent even though the common knowledge in this country IS (notice the caps) that he and a few others were responsible for those atrocities in the early 90s.

A mere Google search reveals more than 20 newspapers supporting the claim that he was somewhat involved in shady business with children - heck there are even filmed investigations with multiple people/families claiming on camera that he glued the offer with the demand.

chimen··on Drive through cities in the browser while listening to local radio stations
Better yet, mute those local stations and put some Moby on
