kelt··on Winklevoss Twins' Startup Gemini Will Pay Burned Customers $1B
Genuinely surprise this was the outcome, I had some balances in the Earn program under redemption since Jan 2023, been a long wait
kelt··on 1Password delisting forum posts critical of their new Electron based 1Password 8
I was a legacy user too, they finally got rid of me I guess

The update to version 8 forces a login to the app and I could not use my own storage to sync vaults, out of the blue it just happened, I wasn't a paying customer

The workaround? Create an account, export your vault(not in the older version, the export formats are limited), and off I went to Bitwarden

kelt··on Omega Swatch Speedmaster
It went a little crazy over in Singapore, crazy crowds form and reselling immediately, being non limited I wonder why people are rushing for it

kelt··on Syadmin Day
Every last Friday in July it's Sysadmin Day - the day to thank all computer system administrators for their work: For running systems and networks, backups - and nightly tinkering.
kelt··on Maildog – Hosting email forwarding service on AWS with GitHub Actions
Taking Amazon SES to production can be a little tricky, I think I am talking to robots with templated messages. Maybe I don't have luck or didn't explain myself well enough.
kelt··on Sublime Text 4
Interesting, they have a limited 10 days offer $99 USD to $80 USD. https://www.sublimehq.com/store/text

Was this always the case for new revisions?

kelt··on Ask HN: What's your keyboard and what you love and hate about it?
I use a Planck(https://olkb.com/collections/planck purchased from Drop), an ortholinear / 40%.

It took me about 2 months to get up to speed with muscle memory. Something I hated during that period of time and it has been a rough 6 months or so now, I am loving it(perhaps I spent the money. At times I have to switch to the Macbook's keyboard, not much issue adjusting back and it would seem I typo more on a regular keyboard now compared when on ortholinear.

It doesn't take up much space on the desk a plus for me, however, my only wish is that it has wireless.

kelt··on Ask HN: Why do companies ghost right after requesting to schedule an interview?
I experienced this as well with Twilio. I believe its bad luck or probably like what LinuxBender said.
kelt··on Ubiquiti Networks Breach
...and password reset doesn’t work as expected now. Anyone manage to reset?
kelt··on Telegram publishes users' locations online
After going into the 'People nearby' I do not see any option to disable. I do see 'Make myself visible' option and a list of nearby users. (on iPhone)

I wonder if this will be sufficient?

kelt··on Ask HN: Excluding WordPress, what is your favourite for blogging? (2020 version)
Still using Jekyll + surge.sh
kelt··on Ask HN: What domain registrar do you use/trust?
Porkbun and NameSilo for me.
kelt··on Ask HN: What ergonomic solutions are you using?
I experienced pain on my wrists after prolonged hours with MacBook Pro(2017), no tingly sensation.

I have since switch to the Logitech MX Ergo trackball mouse along with a mechanical keyboard (silent reds and topre works well for me)

kelt··on Ask HN: How to set up a minimalist professional web page these days
I went this route for a simple web pressence:

- html theme from themeforest

- amazon s3 for hosting the static files

- linked a domain

- used formspree.io for the contact form

Not much traffic, couple of cents a month. I don't do much updating too. Worked well for me.

Good luck!

kelt··on Ask HN: What to factors keep in mind while choosing domain registrar?
Trust, word of mouth from people who used the service before. 2FA a must.

Used namesilo and route53 for awhile now, happy customer.

kelt··on Ask HN: Best resources for running a Linux dedicated server?
I find the getting started documents/guides over at Digitalocean and Linode very helpful.

https://www.digitalocean.com/help/getting-started/setting-up... https://www.linode.com/docs/platform/linode-beginners-guide

From there, there's a whole lot of other topics too, web servers, the usual LEMP/LAMP stack.

http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-security.html on the basics of security too.

Good luck!

kelt··on Ask HN: Where do you responsibly host your personal/small-biz email?
Fastmail too as many has pointed out, pretty quick response for help issues.

A little plus point, paid more in advance to get the discount.

I'm a happy user.

kelt··on Show HN: BookmarkOS – an online desktop for keeping your bookmarks organized
Looking great! Fits my needs!

Although $6 (for now) isn't much but I'm a little afraid you might go out of business? You have long term plans to keep this running?

kelt··on Show HN: Statixite, a management solution for static websites
I like it! Hope to see it out of beta.

Multi site management is a dream come true for me. Great job!

kelt··on Ask HN: Do you click on webpage ads?
Rarely, but it happens from time to time still, when it is interesting or its happen to be related to what I'm looking for.
kelt··on Ask HN: Can you help me with my hosting solution
Hi there, it could be useful to know what content management system you are using for your site too. Are there specific requirements for software?

Does the mail content pull stuffs from your website too?

You may probably get by without a dedicated server which will cost more then $100 a year. Lets hear your requirements, I should be able to direct you to a solution.

kelt··on Ask HN: What's your favorite VPS provider?
I use Linode and RamNode. Indeed the recent events over at Linode are bothering.

RamNode seems to be doing fine for me, nothing critical being used, just for some hobby sites. 389 days uptime and counting! (Atlanta)

kelt··on Very simple CMS built on top of Google Sheets
Hey, where do I find the two PHP files for uploading to my server? Can't seem to find it on your site...
kelt··on Ask HN: Whats your favorite HN thread from 2015?
"In Memoriam: Ian Murdock (docker.com)" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10813524

Some pretty healthy discussions and consolidated information which I can't find elsewhere.

kelt··on Ask HN: Will HN put black bar for the death of Ian?
I hope it does and hope the truth will come to light too.

I vote yes.

kelt··on I launched an app finally on Product Hunt
Interesting! Congrats and good luck!
kelt··on Pokemon Go for iOS and Android
I would go with the iPad mini too! Hopefully the Pokemon Go will come soon, meanwhile the Pokemon shuffle will last him/her for awhile!
kelt··on Pokemon Go for iOS and Android
I wonder if Ingress will be actively developed once Pokemon Go is released...
