emptyparadise··on Firefox Private Browsing mode upgrade
Wouldn't the ISP still know that you're connecting to Google, however?
emptyparadise··on Firefox Private Browsing mode upgrade
I find it hard to believe Chromium pings any less than Firefox. Would love to get more info on this.
emptyparadise··on Allow disabling of motion or animation
Does `@media` support negation? Could it be better to do something like this:

    @media (:not(prefers-reduced-motion)) {
      .animate-me {
        animation: pulse 400ms infinite;
      }
    }
emptyparadise··on Obsidian 1.0 – Personal knowledge base app
If it works, it works. Just surprised by the infrastructure involved.
emptyparadise··on Obsidian 1.0 – Personal knowledge base app
That's awesome. Personally I found that I end up spending too much time on configurations and tinkering with the notes, so I end up going for the simplest system I can.
emptyparadise··on Obsidian 1.0 – Personal knowledge base app
Wow, CloudWatch for note metadata metrics. Notebook organization systems are serious business!
emptyparadise··on Obsidian 1.0 – Personal knowledge base app
Is Obsidian Sync end to end encrypted?
emptyparadise··on Obsidian 1.0 – Personal knowledge base app
I love Obsidian's editor - it hides markup when you're not editing but shows you when your cursor is over some text. The fact that you can just drag an image into a note is great and something terminal note apps will never be able to do.

And then there's [[hypertext]]. Love it!

emptyparadise··on We are stuck with egrep and fgrep (unless you like beating people)

    #!/bin/sh
    exec grep -E "$@"
emptyparadise··on Using a framework will harm the maintenance of your software
Now I'm curious what sort of argument could be made about not using the Framework laptop.
emptyparadise··on iOS allows DNS request to escape the VPN tunnel
Strange - I have Wi-Fi Assist disabled, but I still observed the behavior I described, which is why I left the comment to begin with.
emptyparadise··on How Wine works 101
Nothing from a productivity standpoint, I just find the idea of Windows NT subsystems cool as hell.
emptyparadise··on Jetbrains Fleet Public Preview Free Download
Curious to see how well it integrates with language servers. And of course need Vim mode. IntelliJ's Vim mode works a lot better than VS Code's from my experience.
emptyparadise··on iOS allows DNS request to escape the VPN tunnel
iOS devices are leaky as hell. I once tried blackholing all requests besides those to a VPN service on a router level, and even then my iPhone would just fall back to mobile data for notifications and other Apple services.
emptyparadise··on Joe Rogan Interviews Steve Jobs
It'd be interesting if it weren't for the current tech industry that would bend over backwards to find a way to use it for advertising purposes.
emptyparadise··on How Wine works 101
Still a bit sad that Microsoft went the hypervisor way with WSL2, rather than the Windows Subsystem way in WSL1. It makes perfect sense that they did, but I'm still a bit sad.
emptyparadise··on The 4th Year of SerenityOS
I've been sneaking peeks at the SerenityOS documentation and style guide - it's great stuff. I think I'd rather see that expanded further.
emptyparadise··on The 4th Year of SerenityOS
Just need a MacWrite-grade app that can export to PDF and SerenityOffice can be sold in a nice big box with a pile of floppies.
emptyparadise··on An ‘everything app’ would be bad for liberal democracies and free markets
You can't really do anything on WeChat either without connecting to other services - exactly what the web browser is bundled for.
emptyparadise··on An ‘everything app’ would be bad for liberal democracies and free markets
We already have an everything app. We have at least 5, in fact: Microsoft Windows, macOS, Ubuntu Linux, iOS, Android.
emptyparadise··on The 4th Year of SerenityOS
I want to become powerful enough to contribute to SerenityOS.
emptyparadise··on Lobsters
I like lobste.rs because they have a lot more technical links than HN. Have not interacted with the community much though.
emptyparadise··on My Favourite Computer, an Old Mac
Snow Leopard really was the peak. Is there a list of all the Macs that can run it?
emptyparadise··on My Favourite Computer, an Old Mac
Does MacPorts have newer SSH?
emptyparadise··on C Programming on System 6
Knowing vim, there has to be a classic Mac version.
emptyparadise··on How We Remember Last Weekend
We're a running process with no executable file on disk.
emptyparadise··on Kill-sticky, a bookmarklet to remove sticky elements and restore scrolling
Safari on iOS has support for browser extensions, I think there are extensions for user scripts as well.
emptyparadise··on A Guide to the Graphics of the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis
Sega Genesis had a charm that no other console has quite been able to capture.
emptyparadise··on Cairo: Alternative Windows Desktop
Now I want to see an entire desktop environment built with Wine instead of GTK or Qt.
emptyparadise··on Users reporting artifacts appearing in old images stored in Google Photos
That's already what browsing most websites feels like.
