jooize··on Sleep duration is associated with brain structure and cognitive performance
Have you tried switching places with the snake? You may want to set up automation first as you could find the snake not pushing the light button reliably every morning.

Gradually dimming the bedroom light with a warm color temperature helps me get tired in the evening, and fading it in to a cold color temperature in the morning helps me wake up.

jooize··on Growl in Retirement
I don't need raw file system access nor do I think most do, but using the phone as a USB drive is something I've always wanted and had many situations where it would have been useful. Apple could enable iPhone and iPad to be encrypted general storage devices.

Workaround available. [1]

jooize··on M1 Macs Review
“What's a PC?”
jooize··on Trump says he fired top cybersecurity official Christopher Krebs
> The Pentagon’s top policy official, James Anderson, resigned in anticipation of being fired by Trump.

What is the reasoning behind resigning when (presumably) disagreeing with being fired? Is it all optics?

jooize··on Hello: Let’s make a FreeBSD for “mere mortals”
Good philosophy!

> Every application comes in its own directory that can easily be “managed” using the file manager, no need for package managers

Didn't catch just how it works, but makes me think of GoboLinux [1]. (Oh, there's a 2020 release of GoboLinux.) Is it not a bad idea to use .app when macOS already does? Perhaps .program would fit. Or could they be compatible so one .app runs on both operating systems?

jooize··on Pimp My Microwave
# Microwave oven

- Display in orange, just bright enough.

- Default to no clock until time is set.

- Quality-feel dial for duration. Digital and dynamic so faster spinning adds more time per rotation.

- Quality-feel dial for power.

- Quality-feel dial for function, or possibly buttons for this.

- Dial could be pushed for start or other feature. Push again for pause. Push and hold for reset.

- Door opens downward, horizontally mounted.

- Door has a handle; no door button.

- One single pleasurable beep or sound when finished. Alternatively: continuous sound modulated to convey how long remains. Alternatively: silent switch!

- Never beep unnecessarily nor inexplicably.

- Expire remaining time after a short while.

- Indicate when not empty but not running.

- Less noisy afterward than during.

- Large enough.

Make the bottom as flat possible while still rotating content. Rotate the radiation stuff instead? Probably too complex.

Does it stop beeping if you open the door after the second beep? Aftermarket potential for smart microwave door buttons….

jooize··on GFXBench: Apple M1
I feel like macOS asks me about Siri and privacy at login after every major update, with an unskippable setup window, but at least after account creation. Open System Preferences > Siri and disable Ask Siri. You can edit the Touch Bar via a menu in Finder.
jooize··on Open-source photo gallery with cloud backup and end-to-end encryption
Apple's photo album sharing is so stupid. I can make albums, but then to share those photos I have to make a shared album in which I cannot rearrange nor change the photos once “posted”. If they would just implement sharing of regular albums …. Anyone with an idea why they have not?
jooize··on You May Have 'Nothing to Hide' but You Still Have Something to Fear
Probably should not go around being concerned to a degree that one's health declines. How upset we should be about any such abuse scales with how bad it could turn out and how long they have not improved. Stay healthy and promote endurance while working for change or fighting for a cause.
jooize··on Securely tunnel smart phone traffic with WireGuard and OpenBSD
> Further, if the Wi-Fi network is not encrypted (an open insecure network with no password), then any user on the network can also read your traffic!

Is that situation any or much better when a password is set, but known, shared, or trivially cracked?

jooize··on The Police Can Probably Break into Your Phone
Should it just be illegal for police to break into phones? Those rich enough to use the latest release of phone seem to have been protected from such intrusion. Isn't it inevitable that practically unbreakable phones will eventually be available for everyone? Crime will in that case have to be fought somehow with a different approach.

Backdoors make everyone vulnerable. We need unbreakable phones. Criminals will gain practically unbreakable communication. It seems to me that an adaptation needs to occur, but how?

Will crimes that consist purely of digital data transmission become unenforceable until they breach into physical action?

How severe may the issue be?

jooize··on Endlessh: An SSH Tarpit
It would be more obvious if the private key files were named “id_ed25519.private”.

Why not make it “identity.ed25519.private.sshkey” and default to “20200916{,T224400Z}.ed25519.{private,public}.sshkey”?

jooize··on When you browse Instagram and find Tony Abbott's passport number
It is probably still easier to screw up on a computer than by looking at physical documents to verify them and then scanning them.
jooize··on Show HN: Building Pastebin for text using Nginx and Lua
Can a pastebin client fit and function as a data: URI bookmarklet, and would it enable zero trust of web host?
jooize··on Assange Hearing Day 9
Would USA have had to request extradition before he reached Sweden? I would guess not. Makes sense they would not reveal that intention before, if possible. You say they secretly submitted such request, and I don't know what that fully means, but how would there be evidence if it is secret?

I mean, can we know there wasn't a secret request in play, or one intended to be issued? Their later actual (even secret? Leaked?) request certainly validates the concern, no?

jooize··on Instant.page
Would it save time by loading pages without making a normal new page request? I mean using AJAX/jQuery/… and updating URL with window.history.pushState.
jooize··on What's so hard about PDF text extraction?
Do popular tools support creating XDP PDF?
jooize··on Show HN: Mimestream, a native macOS email client for Gmail
Makes me wish I use Gmail. I want a natively designed email app for IMAP. There's one feature I desire: group by sender. Unibox does it, but the apps jump around when loading email contents and aren't that fancy other than that feature. The app I use must not use an intermediate server.

Wouldn't that prevent reaching the page?

Were there different user agents or did all clients have to use the same interface?
jooize··on Show HN: A proactive way of securing your Linux server
Might protect against some ludicrous attack that we're not considering. Limiting attempts seems to me to always be a good idea.

jooize··on Preparing Our Partners for iOS 14
Yes, I imagine saying things that aren't quite true may at scale cause people to disbelieve the real arguments.

jooize··on Apple takes Prepear logo trademark fight to Canada
Does anyone support Apple in this at any level? I see no reason.
jooize··on Samsung committing to three generations of Android OS upgrades
I have made a couple of bug reports regarding Feedback Assistant losing my report. I don't understand why immortalizing user input isn't a higher priority in general. I no longer trust that iOS devices will not suddenly lose unsaved content. Apple has failed me with its memory management on both iPhone X and iPhone 7 with iOS 13 (and earlier), so I refute that spending more money will solve it, though it may help.
jooize··on Ask HN: What feature did you find after years of using macOS?
May not produce the same feel, but there is:

  defaults write -g NSRepeatCountBinding -string "^u"
> This default controls the numeric argument binding. The default is for numeric arguments not to be supported. If you provide a binding for this default you enable the feature. This allows you to repeat a keyboard command a given number of times. For instance “Control-U 10 Control-F” means move forward ten characters.
