mooktakim··on HackerTube: YouTube built from videos recommended by HN
Absolutely. I always wonder, the people who work on the YouTube app, do they actually use it.
mooktakim··on HackerTube: YouTube built from videos recommended by HN
I could list so many problems with YouTube app (on android for me).

- Multiple times a day I accidentally click another video and try to go back to previous video and lose the position (they used to have a confirmation dialog to play another video when you already have something playing, got rid of it for some reason.

- I used to be able to Chromecast to TV with a casting playlist, where I'd easily add and remove videos, change order. I was able to disconnect from TV and continue watching, later connect to TV again. They completely messed it up. Now it's even worse they created multiple "play on device" and it's so awkward to add videos to queue.

- when I play a video, why doesn't it continue downloading the entire video so I watch it offline. I need to specifically download and it doesn't save the position properly.

- playing videos offline doesn't always remembers position and doesn't keep track of played.

- previews reset the watched position of videos and litters watched history with videos you didn't actually watch.

- notifications are useless, it doesn't notify me of videos I specifically subscribed to and want notifications for.

Sorry for the rant. It just so happens YouTube is where I consume most of my content.

The YouTube app is such a terrible app. Everyday they make changes that seem to make it work. I've been a premium user for years and hate using it. Offline doesn't always sync properly and I can't access my content on the plane. I wish we could build our own YouTube client. I'm not sure they allow this. Frustrating, as there's so much potential.

I really don't understand why they didn't create an "app store" style skills library where it could be approved and scanned for security issues

mooktakim··on SpaceX wants to launch 100k more Starlink satellites for 100x the bandwidth
Internet routing around nuclear war not because it's cable but it's because it's an inter connected network (ie "internet"). Meaning there's multiple routes to the same destination.
mooktakim··on SpaceX wants to launch 100k more Starlink satellites for 100x the bandwidth
Yes, but those are different reasons. Eventually we'll have many different providers offering LEO internet. Competition is the best way to solve this. The benefits of LEO internet is obvious.
mooktakim··on SpaceX wants to launch 100k more Starlink satellites for 100x the bandwidth
The obvious is the cost of deploying. You don't need to dig to add cable. Full country coverage. Worldwide customers.
mooktakim··on Pentagon raised threat of Israeli spying on U.S. to highest level, sources say
They literally merging US military with Israel lol
mooktakim··on SpaceX gets $2.29B Space Force sensor-to-shooter network contract
If you're determined enough you can cause damage that does not decay or go higher than LEO. This risk already exists for accidents. If your goal is to cause it, it wouldn't be too difficult
mooktakim··on SpaceX gets $2.29B Space Force sensor-to-shooter network contract
Eventually someone somewhere will decide these LEO satellites are used for the military against their own sovereign countries and will have to start destroying them. We will end up with a graveyard in space where fragments will make it difficult to continue any space activities.
mooktakim··on Women should be able to open things
No one should be able to do anything. You learn to do it or you don't. There are women who are already capable of opening jars without help. There's no conspiracy here. If you think it's an untapped market go out and start selling easy open jars.

mooktakim··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
US navy literally doing piracy right now taking ships in international waters, destroying boats in Venezuela and Trump admitting to piracy.

mooktakim··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
Did I say the Japanese were good guys? Everything the Japanese did, UK, USA and other European countries have done worse. They're still doing it. Going back to the original reply, US Navy only benefited the US by screwing over the rest of the world
mooktakim··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
Japan didn't have any problems with USA because USA was not part of allied forces. In fact USA sold weapons to both UK and Germans. USA only joined after Pearl Harbour. Japan attacked because US Navy prevented oil being shipped to Japan, Japan had no other source.
mooktakim··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
Are you saying USA cared about the Chinese? Japan had already surrendered before US nuked them
mooktakim··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
Are you saying there are no pirates now? US navy has solved all the world's problems? The blockades have killed millions of people, even in the last 30 years. When US sanctioned Iraq after the first war, they killed 500k people every year, and then US invaded Iraq on lies. The world would be safer without the US Navy.
mooktakim··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
American navy has blockaded countries all over the world, so it's more true that they closed international waters. Waters were open before America existed. If Americans would actually learn their history they would see that the USA blockade was the reason Japan attacked Pearl Harbour, as the Japanese needed the water to open and thought taking out Pearl Harbour would prevent the US Navy controlling the Pacific. Japan attacked the American base, USA attacked Japanese civilians with nukes.

mooktakim··on Building Multi-Tenant SaaS with Rails 8, Caddy, and Kamal
This is a production guide based on building Dinehere.ai (AI restaurant website builder). The key insight: run Caddy as a Kamal accessory for on-demand TLS. Caddy checks a Rails endpoint before issuing any certificate, so random domains pointed at your IP won't trigger cert issuance. kamal-proxy still handles deployment and health checks — Caddy just sits in front for TLS termination. Part 1 (base Kamal deployment): https://mooktakim.com/blog/deploying-rails-with-kamal/
