harrymit907··on Ask HN: What are your founder's resolutions for 2024?
Great. Do you mind sharing what location it is?
harrymit907··on The Bureau of Meteorology website does not support connections via HTTPS
Your LE friendly ISP can insert a JS browser exploit and gain access to your device. Is that a valid reason?
harrymit907··on No dogs were harmed in the making of this app
Cost to benefits probably. Vet X-rays are surprisingly expensive and then surgery had to be done anyway.
harrymit907··on Show HN: Kimchi Reader – Immersive Korean Learning with a Popup Dictionary
I personally think leaving romanization after the first week of learning Hangul is best, unless you are focusing only on getting better at speaking.
harrymit907··on Protomaps – A free and open source map of the world
Illegal in what jurisdiction? I suppose only in China?
harrymit907··on Ask HN: How's your job search going in this current economy?
Not really good. I quit my FAANG job just before the layoffs started (If only I had known...) to pursue a SaaS project. I was the top performer in the team back then. I recently reached out to my manager about getting back into the team but the hiring freeze is still very much ongoing and going to last atleast 6 more months based on his feedback.

harrymit907··on LIBS confirms the presence of sulphur on the lunar surface
Yes, and it'd also be a whole lot better if people living overseas and supporting BJP would come back to so called Amritkaal and live here
harrymit907··on LIBS confirms the presence of sulphur on the lunar surface
Yes, swarajyamag is a very non biased independent source.
harrymit907··on LIBS confirms the presence of sulphur on the lunar surface
I don't care if it has support of 80% Indians. And even you know that's objectively not true. Any party which does not care about democratic principles is a shithole party.
harrymit907··on LIBS confirms the presence of sulphur on the lunar surface
Just to be clear, Modi and his shithole party had nothing to do with the success of Chandrayan. 100% credit goes to the scientists and engineers.
harrymit907··on Ask HN: Suggestions to host 10TB data with a monthly +100TB bandwidth
Wasabi is the best option for you. 10TB would be around 60$/month and they offer free egress as much as your storage. So you can download upto 10TB per month.
harrymit907··on A digital payments revolution in India
Agree with the definitions. I guess the OP meant it like "not allowed to use" rather than actually getting arrested for possession.
harrymit907··on A digital payments revolution in India
How is "illegal" and "no longer considered legal tender" different?

Regardless of the intentions, I don't see how banning people from using currency notes that they legally owned is not dictatorial. Why is using cash deemed guilty before even having any evidence.

harrymit907··on Element is one of fourteen messaging apps blocked by Central Indian Government
I can understand how people who are not in the security domain might get confused by this.

The legitimate application's developer cannot do anything if their application is being trojanized by malware authors. Even if Modi himself releases a piece of software, anyone can just create a malicious version of that and distribute it on various platforms.

> The most important thing country needs to do is to protect it's citizens and that is what India is doing.

The important thing the country had to do was to sensitize people about the malicious versions being distributed and urge them to use only the application from the legitimate VLC website. Instead, they went ahead and banned the legit VLC website which just makes people to go to shadier websites to download VLC.

I agree politicians would not have this level of knowledge, but for the officials who assist the policy makers, this should be a basic 101 in security. Now what would you call the official in Cert-IN who issued the VLC ban ? A clown? definitely.

That is exactly what the clown show is about. Say, some Russian hackers are spreading malicious versions of Chrome, so do you go about banning the legitimate Google Chrome. If the government doing that is not a clown I don't know what is.

Add ProtonVPN to the list too. They have auto renew as the default and there is no cancel option anywhere. And if you try to remove the payment method it does not allow you to do so as your auto renewal is still active. The only way to cancel auto renew is to write an email to support.
harrymit907··on LattePanda Announces Sigma, a 'Hackable Single Board Server'
I did a few tests with using a good SSD as swap but the performance is worse by magnitudes. So having RAM is the only way to go as of now.
harrymit907··on LattePanda Announces Sigma, a 'Hackable Single Board Server'
I am looking at more than 2TB of RAM which will grow as more data is ingested. More cores is not a requirement for me. Right now I manage this using cheap dedicated servers and cluster them. But I spend close to 1.5k USD per month on this, so figured building this would be a lot cheaper in the long run.
harrymit907··on LattePanda Announces Sigma, a 'Hackable Single Board Server'
I am working on a project which needs lots of RAM. It is just a search engine which needs lots of RAM to provide quick responses. I was planning to stack such boards and have a cluster so I can horizontally scale the search engine. Are there any recommendations for such boards which support lots of RAM. The only things that the board needs to support are a low-med end CPU such as i3, RAM (more the better), one SSD and an ethernet (100Mbit should be enough). Ideally I am planning to have a lots of such cheap boards and cluster them.

harrymit907··on Cyberabad cops nab man who stole personal info of 66.9 cr people in 24 states
More than half the data there is available on Breached and other similar forums and telegram groups freely. These clueless cops do not know this and just have to make some headlines to keep the budget flowing.

Are you sure depending on AWS and depending on Twitter are both the same?
harrymit907··on Hetzner continues its growth in the US with a new location
+1 to Wasabi. They are the only reason I was able to launch my product which wouldn't have been feasible on S3 or other providers just based on the storage and the API cost.
