Hi

Do you have an opinion or comment on this? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41159236

hosteur··on LG and Samsung are making TV screens disappear
How does that work? You buy some Samsung smart tv and then you somehow use this board to bypass the “smart” and make it a dumb display?
hosteur··on Ask HN: What domain registrar and DNS provider do you use? (July 2024)
Desec.io

Free and extremely good. Nice interface and api access too.

What is the better working alternative?
hosteur··on Show HN: Protect your links with a password
That was my thought as well. Not sure what the actual value is here.
hosteur··on Ask HN: How do things get flagged?
The link leads to a blank page. What was the URL submitted?
hosteur··on Local First, Forever
Yes. I have bought several non-DRM games from gog.com.

Edit: I also recently bought Sublime text, several Jetbrains products and some other utilities.

hosteur··on Ask HN: What's the oldest file on your computer?
The Enron emails dataset
hosteur··on Microfeatures I love in blogs and personal websites
Which is stupid because newer != better. Often the reverse is true. But mostly it is not related.
hosteur··on I connected Windows XP to the Internet; it was fine
I am not sure exactly what you're saying: Are you saying that you had experience in 2015 that your "default installation" Debian Linux server got malware on the open internet despite it being fully updated weekly?

If I read that right, I would like two things clarified:

1: what "default installation" means. Do you have any open network ports?

2: What does "get a malware" mean? Do you mean it was possible to get malware because a user downloaded som random binary off of the internet? Or do you mean that entirely passively, some malware remotely exploited some network service?

I would like to contribute my experience: I have been responsive for running many Debian servers on the internet for that last 25 years. During those years I have not once encountered one of my systems being compromised. Of course, you might say that I have just been unknowingly compromised. While this is indeed possible, it is possible for all systems to be compromised without owners knowing it.

What does C player mean here?
hosteur··on Ask HN: What sites are similar to Hacker News?
You do need an invite. I see this as a feature - not a bug. It massively cuts down on spam. And also makes removing spammers much easier due to the fact that it is not just invite only - it also has a public invite tree. So a spammer cannot just make 100s invites for sock puppets. They are trivially eliminated as well.
hosteur··on Google just updated its algorithm. The Internet will never be the same
Probably Kagi.

Good news for Kagi then.

hosteur··on I'm Leaving Reddit for Good and This Is Why
I have no reason to doubt they are following through with it. If they do: great! If they do not: who cares? They spread awareness of important issues with reddit. I can still appreciate this.

Why is it important to you if they follow through or not?

hosteur··on I'm Leaving Reddit for Good and This Is Why
While I am sure many people are leaving reddit silently I appreciate that some people are also leaving reddit and making some noise about it. This helps spread awareness of some of the issues with reddit and highlight the need for alternatives.
hosteur··on Slack AI Training with Customer Data
My company does not do this and have no plans to do such a thing.
hosteur··on Show HN: An AI logo generator that can also generate SVG logos
Yes! This exactly. Put in a watermark or something if you are afraid people gain value without paying you. But requiring an account just to see how it works is too much friction. I moved on.
hosteur··on Apple introduces M4 chip
> I don't think it's strictly for price gouging/segmentation purposes.

I think it is strictly for that purpose.

hosteur··on Microsoft ties executive pay to security after multiple failures and breaches
> hiring straight white men when you’re under quota required exec approval

Sounds racist. And illegal?

How do you build a community if google prevents users from finding it?

hosteur··on Ask HN: Anyone else here using the "free forever" Oracle Cloud servers?
I suppose this is taken from https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier...

I interpret this as the machine is deemed idle and reclaimed if ALL of these are true. Not Any.

Am I wrong?

Have a an instance that I used for some experimenting. It is doing quite a bit of CPU and RAM but almost zero network. It has been for months. But has not been reclaimed...
