lk0ngaon Ask HN: How do you get work done while there is a war in Europe?

Is always amusing how North Americans call themselves 'Americans' like it is a nationality and call their country the name of the whole continent.

lk0ngaon Challenges in the diagnosis of magnesium status

The RDA on Magnesium is almost never there on multivitamin formulas and so should be added separatedly, I can't really feel that (significantly) it helps for anxiety or jittery though, same goes for theanine, in fact theanine makes my jittery/anxiety worse. Best for jittery/anxiety is taurine, at around 2 grams per each 100mg of caffeine, YMMV.

I've noted overall anxiety got noteacible better when I added DHEA, I'd guess due to changes in the cortisol to DHEA ratio.

lk0ngaon In Argentina, cheap government-issued netbooks sparked a musical Renaissance

I'm from Chile and over there is plenty of these generic artists which ALL of them sound alike and contain basic lyrics and music. Hardly monetizable without previously dumbing down the listener, which would happen as they had pretty much flooded the online music platforms. Government start giving these guys eInk devices instead of netbooks which they will use as genetic noise generators.

lk0ngaon The rise of E Ink Tablets and Note Takers: reMarkable 2 vs Onyx Boox Note Air

With any newish onyx boox you can do all that and more.

I wonder if people happy with their Remarkable had seen what onyx devices are able to do.

lk0ngaon YouTube-dl can no longer download age-restricted videos

I confirm I've been experiencing "age related" issues in videos this week on newpipe

lk0ngaon Google Removed ClearURLs Extension from Chrome Web Store

I wonder whether this will backfire as a Streisand on Google or not. Anyone can still install any extensions from git.

lk0ngaon Trader gets painted stones instead of $36M of copper

lk0ngaon Qutebrowser 2.0

I'm really a fan of keyboard driven browsing (currently sticking with chromium + vimium) so I'll give a try to qutebrowser and would be cool if not only has adblocking but uMatrix and password manager extensions so that it can become more of a daily driver while staying snappy.

lk0ngaon Fastmail was down

Most people would expect an open postmortem on Twitter or at the news blog of the service, as this is normally what is done. Going through level 1 support or through any of the support channels is too much of a burden for customers, due to likelihood of this resulting on an unknown, not so fast, number of communication hops. Being a company with focus on privacy, is normal to expect them to be quick to give explanations and open by making it easy to get to postmortems

lk0ngaon GitHub Dark – Switch off the lights

+1 for Dark Reader too. Tried several others available Chrome extensions but they would decrease performance on scrolling or would lack options.
