m-localhost··on Ask HN: What podcasts do you listen to regularly?
I highly recommend The David Feldman Show. Long episodes with guests - comedians, but also politics. A weekly appearance of Aaron Berg who is super funny. https://davidfeldmanshow.com/
m-localhost··on Ask HN: What podcasts do you listen to regularly?
Use https://huffduffer.com/ - it extracts the audio from Youtube Videos and adds it to a feed you can subscribe to. The bookmarklet lets you collect all the audio in the wild. Best service ever.
m-localhost··on Ask HN: What podcasts do you listen to regularly?
I like to listen to them when they make fun about Cernovich, Q and the Alt-right, but sometimes it's just too specific about people I've never heard of.
m-localhost··on In killing Inbox, Google takes another swipe at its most passionate users
unfortunately no. It was announced a year ago and then nothing happened. But they still seem to be working on...

Maybe Superhuman is opening to the public by then? It sounds promising.

m-localhost··on Ask HN: Why did dynamic CMSes become the norm?
Dreamweaver was pretty nice (compared to the mess that Adobe GoLive was) and definitely close to what static site generators are doing today, just with a gui. It was really awesome, when I discovered Dreamweavers dynamic templating, because at that time, I had no clue how to get PHP and MySQl to work. Now that I know everything about PHP and MySQL I have a hard time understanding node.js (beside grunt) etc.
m-localhost··on Blogging with Emacs org-mode
If I already considered plain text for writing, I would rather start with a flat file system like Grav[1] or Pico CMS[2] that's based on markdown files, than trying to get the content out of a wordpress db later. Given, WP is at this point the standard to publish online and it's quick and easy.

m-localhost··on Instapaper is going independent
There are attempts with some serverside voodoo, but it doesn't look like it's possible.
m-localhost··on Instapaper is going independent
Self-hosted Wallabag instance is great. I collect article there first, sync them to pocket as a backup. (Wallabag RSS->IFTTT->Pocket)

m-localhost··on Amazon’s share of the US e-commerce market is now 49%
just wanted to mention that. Indeed a very insightful episode, that explained a lot of comments I've seen lately.
m-localhost··on Goodbye Microservices: From 100s of problem children to 1 superstar
It's so nice to build something that works without JS in the first place and then just add some JS and CSS3 animations.
m-localhost··on Goodbye Microservices: From 100s of problem children to 1 superstar
You might want to contribute here: https://github.com/impressivewebs/HTML9-Responsive-Boilerstr... the project is still going strong, on the the Issues side.
m-localhost··on What would happen if Twitter were to shut down over night?
Very good points. I haven't thought about the broken website problem due to embeds.
m-localhost··on What would happen if Twitter were to shut down over night?
In his case, he depends on it and so does the media in analyzing his tweets. That would be an interesting scenario where he loses a channel he considers as important outlet.
m-localhost··on What would happen if Twitter were to shut down over night?
I don't think it's so easy to make people move to another platform that fast and to create the same/similar eco system that allows twitter right now, to influence public opinion (with popular hashtags build up by bot networks, or politicians tweeting)
m-localhost··on European regulators reject latest proposal by ICANN over its Whois data service
which case do you refer to about prosecution over free speech?
m-localhost··on Moves app shutting down July 31
Their privacy policy is much much better! Unfortunately the battery drain seems to be higher.

m-localhost··on Moves app shutting down July 31
Is there an app, like moves, that tracks in the background, without sending data to some server by default? Moves had a nice array of third party apps, they all die off now as well.

Edit: Apparently there is Arc App https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/8vrwov/facebook_is_...

m-localhost··on ‘Everyone is breaking the law right now’: GDPR compliance is falling short
What if a EU sitizen uses a VPN to use a non GDPR conform service? What's with the California Online Privacy Protection Act? You have to comply to that. And from there it's not such a big step to comply to GDPR. Not?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Privacy_Protection_Act

Edit: Apprently, there is a new one on its way: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/tech/talkingtech/2018/06/28/ho...

m-localhost··on How Firefox is using Pocket to try to build a better news feed than Facebook
Here is my backup chain for articles I want to read later/archive against link rot: I run my own Wallabag instance (self-hosted pocket). Wallabag offers an rss feed for all new articles that triggers IFTTT to a) save a copy to pocket (just as backup) b) save a markdown version of the article to dropbox (via http://heckyesmarkdown.com/go/?read=1&preview=0&showframe=0&...)

Wallabag also offers automatic tagging rules and RSS feeds to each tag.

m-localhost··on Building a YouTube MP3 Downloader with Exodus, FFmpeg, and AWS Lambda
https://podsync.net/ + Pocket Cast = <3 - doesn't work always unfortunately. For audio only I use https://huffduffer.com/ (well it's just adding single youtube videos to a customized podcast feed)
m-localhost··on Why Is Location Data No Longer Private?
German Democratic Peoples Republic ;-)
m-localhost··on GDPR Version of USA Today Is 500KB Instead of 5.2MB
I use both, but sometimes it's a bit a pain in the ass with capchas and and embedded iframes etc. A lot of trial and error which scripts are needed. But it's great to know most of the crap, including cookie/consent banners are blocked.
m-localhost··on Google and Facebook accused of breaking GDPR laws
What's with generated images (some crap like facebook frames or generated slideshows etc) doesn't have facebook the copyright on those - at least the designs? Should those be included in the export?
m-localhost··on No one’s ready for GDPR
Cookie warnings are the new ads. My ad-blocker eats them.
m-localhost··on Winds 2.0: It’s Time to Revive RSS
Here is another feed creator service, for websites that don't offer a newsfeed: http://createfeed.wprssaggregator.com/
m-localhost··on Winds 2.0: It’s Time to Revive RSS
One of the few Yahoo products that were great. I think Yahoo was pretty good in providing developer tools and apis.
