delogos··on Ask HN: app.example.com vs. example.com/app for a browser based product?
Per RFCs, "example.com" (the bare domain name) must be a DNS A/AAAA record and cannot be a CNAME, which could limit your ability to use some anti-ddos/geo-loadbalancing solutions. Subdomain names (app.example.com) can be CNAME records.
delogos··on Gayfemboy 0-Day Router Attacks Ongoing–What You Need to Know
This forbes article is lacking in details; here's the OG threat analysis report: https://blog.xlab.qianxin.com/gayfemboy-en/
delogos··on Tell HN: Create an "in case of my death" document
I can also recommend: If you have any doubts whatsoever about the technical abilities of your descendants/family/executor, print the document and make sure multiple people know where the printed copy lives.

in the end we all do what we must.

aww, now how will we scavenge free lithium batteries for our hacking projects?
delogos··on Whats Going on with Apple
Wait, my mistake; the wi-fi toggle got added in the 18.1 beta track.
delogos··on Whats Going on with Apple
You CAN add a Wi-fi widget. And while there's not a native airdrop widget, you can add a Shortcut widget that controls airdrop.

(edit: spelling of Wi-fi)

delogos··on Poll HN: How many browser tabs do you have open?
3. Two pinned tabs (slack and mastodon) and this thread.
delogos··on Telegram's Privacy Mirage: Why You Should Stop Using It Now
Disagree. Both articles talk about Telegram but they are otherwise completely different.
delogos··on Ask HN: What do you use as a home phone, if you have kids without phones?
Thank you for the clarification!
delogos··on Ask HN: What do you use as a home phone, if you have kids without phones?
Land line is the safest bet. In the US at least, there's also a guarantee that there will always be a dialtone on a paid line even if you have a power outage in your home (assuming of course that you have an actual traditional un-powered phone plugged into the line).

delogos··on You Are Not Google
(2017)

Still valid though, and a good read.

delogos··on Turn Your iPhone into a Dumb Phone
You could set up an "on app launch" automation shortcut for Maps to alter the Color Filter setting, but I'm not sure how you'd automate switching it back after closing/leaving Maps. I don't use the automations, but instead have a shortcuts widget with "toggle greyscreen" (among others) which is sufficient for me most of the time.

delogos··on Ask HN: Should Banks Phish Their Own Customers
Extending managed phishing campaigns to customers sounds like a very good way to erode the trust of those customers in your bank.
delogos··on Lessons learned from bringing promotional sweets to a conference
I would absolutely wear your hypothetical Cast Iron shirt, just as an aside. There's always someone who's interested in niche topics.
delogos··on Ask HN: Microsoft has made it impossible to unsubscribe from Office 365
If the way companies like Google and Amazon act are considered, doing a chargeback through your bank is likely to get the subscription immediately canceled (and the accompanying account banned as well).
delogos··on The Nerdiest Thing I Do
Did anyone else initially get a link that auto-upvoted this post?
delogos··on Ask HN: What happens if I don't abide by GDPR and put a banner on my website?
This isn't actually correct. If you collect or process process the data of European citizens, no matter where in the world you are, then you're affected by GDPR.
delogos··on Why is text of sumissions in low-contrast grey on HN?
It's only a few pixels (vertically) between the title of the link and the "hide" button.
delogos··on Ask HN: Who Wants Another iPhone Mini?
I plan on using my current handset (iPhone SE 2022) until it stops receiving security updates. I very much hope that when the time comes Apple still offers a handset in the same form factor.

tl;dr (and two pages down): Lithuania.

delogos··on Quick Tip: Enable Touch ID for Sudo (2020)
Speaking from personal experience, don't do this on a machine you'll ever access remotely, because then you're stuck waiting for the biometric check to time out before you can authenticate via another method.
delogos··on Ask HN: Did you find something to use your Raspberry Pi 400 for?
I'm currently working on getting Kali Linux installed and working on my Pi400 with an adafruit screen attached to the GPIO port. It's a convenient size for hand-carrying, and with the screen disconnected it could pass (to the casual observer) as a simple compact keyboard. Especially when paired with the pi400kb "driver" [1]

That it'll run off of a USB battery pack for quite some time is an added bonus. It's obviously not as powerful as a dedicated laptop but as a "cyberdeck" or an incognito penetration test device, I think it'll find a place of regular usage in my life.

delogos··on If Silence Is the Cost of Great Ramen, So Be It
That sounds fabulous and is a definite stark contrast from "the best local ramen" here in the Austin,TX area. It's apparently vogue here to have music so loud you can't hear your dining companion unless they shout.
delogos··on LastPass Android app has got 7 trackers in it
KyPass has been excellent for me for the last several years.
