jonas-w··on Decoding small QR codes by hand (2012)
Wow, thanks for the first link, that was exactly what I was looking for after reading TFA. But I wish I could scan a qrcode and let this website explain it to me, instead of generating one with the same content, as I couldn't replicate the one in front of me with this page.

Could you elaborate what the problem with UEFI is and what the alternatives are? Genuine question, as I've never heard this sentiment before.
jonas-w··on A mystery person who spies on theme parks from the sky
Their most recent images were taken at Universal's Epic Universe, and a quick glance at the recordings from the previous day on Flightradar24 reveals that one helicopter has been repeatedly circling this location over the past few days while doing nothing else. At least two other helicopters I noticed did this as well, but not as frequently. (I'm not saying that this must be this person, but it could be very likely)

It isn't difficult to discover this, so Universal Studios probably would have done something about it by now (I guess?).

EDIT: The helicopter seems to be owned by a company that does tours of all the theme parks there: https://www.orlandohelitours.com/

jonas-w··on Intel OEM Private Key Leak: A Blow to UEFI Secure Boot Security
Thanks, I'm not seeing these lines in the eventlog, thats good. Are these the only things that could brick my laptop, or are there any other known "security features" that vendors implement?
jonas-w··on Intel OEM Private Key Leak: A Blow to UEFI Secure Boot Security
Is there a way to know if it is safe to enroll my own keys? I always wanted to, but always didn't do it, because I often read that it can make the system unbootable.

https://12ft.io works on some sites through pretending to be the google bot.

You can also access any site in the google cache with prepending "https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:", that will you show you the website like the google bot saw it.

For example github.com would become "https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https%..."

It is still worth to try, but many sites already prevent this.

Don't have any data to back this up, but I would think that the average linux user will instantly turn off firefox telemetry and won't show up on these graphs. It's one of the first things when I install firefox, disable ff telemetry, set privacy mode to strict and then install uBlock. Nevertheless Windows has a huge market share, even if no one turned off data collection, and the year of linux on desktop didn't happen.
jonas-w··on Neovim 0.9
Note: I used nvim daily before using helix, but only used the basic features and used lunarvim as my config.

I started using helix a few months ago because of the batteries included zero config language server setup, i have one line in my config and that is the theme, thats it, just install the language server [1] and you are ready to go.

But I stayed for the kakoune model. Yes, it is different than vim, yes it may not be for you, but to me it feels so much superior, i feel way more productive with the kakoune way. I guess i had the advantage of not having vim keybindings (except the most basic) in my muscle memory. I never really got warm with the more "advanced" vim keybindings. But in helix it is so easy to learn them. You either have a popup that shows you the next available key and what it does or you have `Space + ?` Where you can fuzzy find commands and their corresponding keyboard shortcut. Helix took that huge learning curve I had with (n)vim and turned it into learning by doing and their little tutor at the beginning.

With nvim I used lunarvim config, as I didn't want to roll my own config and it was the best I could find, and I tried all the most popular configs. They always updated something, they often broke, they felt bloated (compared to helix or plain [n]vim) and most importantely I didn't really know whats happening under the hood. With helix I only need to update my languageservers (which get automatically updated by my system package manager) and there was no need for me to touch the config files except setting the theme to one of the themes that it shipped with and I have more the feeling that I know whats happening under the hood.

Except a file tree instead of a fuzzy file picker I don't miss anything, I don't have any need for plugins, as everything I personally need is already in there.

jonas-w··on Ask HN: What lesser-known accessories do you use with your computer?
Not OP but using the mx ergo since more than a year. Never really had problems with the precision, the precision in the first week of using the mouse will definitely be different, because your brain needs to adapt. The only time I have problems is, when I haven't cleaned the trackball for some time, then it will get jittery. But the mouse has a precision button next to the trackball where you can move really slow and will definitely have a chance to move just a few pixels.
