detaro··on Ask HN: Why didn't Google shake down ISPs?
If you try to make ISPs pay for connecting to you, don't expect your users to have a good time reaching your services. And it's difficult to have a "frictionless" popular service if your websites are the slowest ones around.

To the contrary, the big sites want the opposite: they want all users to have as good connections to them as possible, which they achieve by being nice to ISPs.

detaro··on Tor Browser 15.0
exit nodes are not involved with accessing hidden services at all, so the suggestion is nonsense.
detaro··on The last European train that travels by sea
The line you mention doesn't run anymore, and hasn't since 2019.
detaro··on Debian Technical Committee overrides systemd change
systemd upstream says "distros can patch it out if they want", the debian package maintainer doesn't want to carry a patch. "Someone needs to write a patch" is not the problem here.
detaro··on Nuclear plant towers collapse during controlled demolition
CDU isn't "beholden" to SPD and Greens, they just know that lying about what you are going to do is much cheaper and easier than actually doing it. If CDU truly cared about nuclear power, the time to do something would've been the 16 years they were in power during which the shutdowns were planned and prepared, and undoing that would've been relatively easy, not once it was done or in final stages.
detaro··on Accessing Max Verstappen's passport and PII through FIA bugs
It's more that they walked by, saw your door open, popped their head in and then called for you to make sure you knew the door was open.
detaro··on Accessing Max Verstappen's passport and PII through FIA bugs
Did the kid go around changing price tags, or did they just show that it was possible?
detaro··on Sodium-ion batteries have started to appear in cars and home storage
Would be great, actually making it work at scale isn't there yet as far as I know? And depending on the chemistry has other downsides.
detaro··on Matrix Conference 2025 Highlights
Freedoms tend to also benefit criminals, yes. That's kind of unavoidable.
detaro··on Beaver-engineered dam in the Czech Republic
That's great, so we just need to make some scapegoat companies go bankrupt from fines occasionally and can do whatever we want? (It's already somewhat of an issue in construction industries, build shoddy homes and dissolve the company before the majority of buyers realizes how bad it is, repeat)
detaro··on The White House is already one of the most blocked accounts on Bluesky
it doesn't
detaro··on Bots are getting good at mimicking engagement
Methbot was running the sites showing ads, so they got a cut. Doesn't transfer to manipulation on Facebook Ads, where I don't think that's a thing in any scenario.
detaro··on Switch to Jujutsu Already: A Tutorial
Gerrit is not a VCS
detaro··on German industrial output falls to 2005 levels as auto sector craters
Germanys economic policies really have nothing to do with "liberal agenda".
detaro··on C++ Reflection and Qt MOC
But Qt doesn't care for microcontrollers, nor mainframes. The most exotic target they have is QNX, but "Qt needs C++XX" seems to be a pretty good motivator for QNX to update their compilers, which are gcc-based after all.
detaro··on Show HN: Baby's first international landline
that probably depends how many close family members they have abroad.
detaro··on HTTP3 Explained
What privacy concern do you have that does not apply to TCP 80/443?
detaro··on Ask HN: Abandoned/dead projects you think died before their time and why?
Maybe not in the earliest versions, but by the late 90s, when I learned it, it certainly had those things.
detaro··on Ask HN: Abandoned/dead projects you think died before their time and why?
and that's why HTML5 standardized the behavior, so both browsers will parse it the same, they just don't care if someone thinks it's "invalid" or not.
detaro··on Ask HN: Abandoned/dead projects you think died before their time and why?
HTML5 was the answer for the consistency part: where before browsers did different things to recover from "invalid" HTML, HTML5 standardizes it because it doesn't care about valid/invalid as much, it just describes behavior anyways.
detaro··on Ask HN: Abandoned/dead projects you think died before their time and why?
But a HTML5 parser will obviously parse "strict" HTML5 just fine too, what value is there to special-case the "this was generated by a DOM builder" path client-side?
detaro··on Ask HN: Abandoned/dead projects you think died before their time and why?
Not really. HTML5 parsing is very well documented and quite easy compared to all the other things a browser needs.
detaro··on Using a laptop as an HDMI monitor for an SBC
worst case a VGA-to-HDMI adapter, they are less than 20 bucks but extra box/cables of course.
detaro··on ESP32 and Termux
Telnet often uses "\r\0" instead, but it also can be configured with most clients.
detaro··on Using a laptop as an HDMI monitor for an SBC
100ms latency, they do at least 30fps.
detaro··on Using a laptop as an HDMI monitor for an SBC
not really. The video stuff needs explicit hardware support, so the laptop would need to include what's essentially a capture card already. It'd be awesome if vendors did that, but to my knowledge nobody does.
detaro··on N8n raises $180M
interesting! In what kind of contexts/classes is it used?
detaro··on N8n raises $180M
n8n has come up here quite a bit and is one of the biggest projects in is niche, not sure why you think people would be particularly unfamiliar with it.
detaro··on A competitor crippled a $23.5M bootcamp by becoming a Reddit moderator
And in some places it's one of the few reasons to get a second passport issued.

no
