dicknuckle··on `COPY –chmod` reduced the size of my container image by 35%
Really thought I missed something with COPY --chmod so I'm glad you mentioned it's new. COPY's preservation of flags simplified one of projects because I started setting flags on shell scripts in the repo instead of at build time.
dicknuckle··on Brewster Kahle and the Internet Archive still working to democratize knowledge
the-eye.eu is supposed to be that, but it appears to be centralized. i can't remember if they had any decentralized file storage abilities. it's currently mostly down and being restored from backups or something.

It's been working great for me on mtik hardware. See my comment above.
dicknuckle··on MikroTik authentication revealed
I've been using it for about a year in a RBM11G for my home internet. it's been as stable as the Cradlepoint CBA750B it replaced. I reused the outdoor ABS box, still mounted on a 10ft steel pipe above my roof latitude 38 Eastern US, we get some pretty hot summers.
dicknuckle··on Ask HN: How long until Google charges for private Gmail accounts?

dicknuckle··on Play audio only on YouTube and save bandwidth
I wish there was an app for this in 2010-ish. Would have saved me so much cell data.
dicknuckle··on U.S. Seeks 5-Year Prison Sentence for Nintendo 'Hacker' Gary Bowser
In the real world, breaking the law in any number of categories can lead to community service or other "jobs" within the prison system.

It really doesn't take much skill to break into a car or a house. Anyone can learn how to do it within an afternoon and anyone can learn to protect from it within a few afternoons without learning how to break in. Gaining access to digital systems requires a wide range of skill sets and at least a subset of those are generally required to learn how to protect from it properly.

dicknuckle··on Silenced AirTags with disabled speakers are popping up for sale online
You do realize "defund the police" means diverting funds that would usually be spent on tons of military grade gear they don't need, and using those funds on community improvement programs, right?
dicknuckle··on Senate introduces bill to allow farmers to fix their own equipment
While this is an important first step, I'm pleased there's at least one senator that doesn't have a stunning case of Dunning Kruger.

There's all kinds of competition in that market, Deere is just the worst offender and is the reason they are at the very center of the issue.

I appreciate your sarcasm.
dicknuckle··on Watching video twice at 2x can benefit learning better than once at normal speed
For some subjects it's not possible to read everything. For example: woodworking safety for a particular machine, or adjusting the carburetor by ear on a vintage motorcycle.
dicknuckle··on Fish sausages: Ugandan CEO taps into demand
Yep, in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US, we have Scrapple. it's the rest of the pig that doesn't end up as sausage. The tagline reads "Everything but the oink"
dicknuckle··on When the government hides spy cameras on your land, fight back in court
Game Wardens do have more authority than typical police forces, although I don't have any specifics.
dicknuckle··on Writing a Fuzzer for NES Games
As a child I had always thought that this must be possible and I had dreams that I had figured it out. At the time, our family didn't have anything more than a Gameboy and an SNES so I wasn't familiar with how a PC or any other computer operated.
dicknuckle··on The unbearable fussiness of the smart home
It's pretty hard for my IoT devices to spy on me with no internet access on a separate VLAN.
dicknuckle··on The unbearable fussiness of the smart home
Have you checked out Shelly relays? They can run as simply or complicated as you want. No internet required if you just want to trigger it with a schedule or a webhook over the LAN. The basic logic in the webui was enough to let me run my shop air compressor for 1 hour after the trigger button is pressed and with another option enabled, it won't come back on after a power outage.

Can confirm, blokada is an excellent adblocker, although it doesn't have as many granular features as ublock.

dicknuckle··on Things I would like to 3D print
Borosilicate Glass or PEI with spring steel backing (if your bed has the magnets vs the build surface having magnet material) work great in my first hand experience, both will give a much better surface adhesion than most others.

Another cheaper option is G10 or FR4. I've got copper backed FR4 on my list of things to try. Apparently it has a more even heating due to he copper against the heated bed. I've been using the glass held on with Binder clips until recently when a few binders popped off and tossed the whole lot on the floor of my garage sending shards everywhere.

dicknuckle··on Nicholas Carr on how to fix social media
There is a chronological feed in FB but i haven't used it in years and they make it harder and harder to use. I've also heard of it not working for days on end.
dicknuckle··on Show HN: Sending and Receiving SMS via APRS (VHF Amateur Radio)
Where would I find out how to set up bidirectional APRS for our local club?
dicknuckle··on Show HN: Sending and Receiving SMS via APRS (VHF Amateur Radio)
Can't fix that in the context of HAM radio
dicknuckle··on The metaverse is bullshit
Nah that's too obvious. MUST. MAKE. PROFIT. FOR. SHAREHOLDERS. The machine must march on and grow at all costs.
