nabogh··on $8B Sam Bankman-Fried criminal trial starts today
I'm sorry this happened to you but why on earth did you take on so much risk?
nabogh··on Insomnia REST client now requires an account
So you've downgraded people without an account?
nabogh··on Insomnia REST client now requires an account
Agree. I have no qualms paying for open source software if I think the owners treats their users well. I pay for Joplin Cloud but so far they haven't hidden all my data behind a forced signup screen (unless I jump through some export hoops just to end up in a worse user experience)
nabogh··on Insomnia REST client now requires an account
Why need the export import step at all? You have the workspaces already. Just include them in the scratchpad
nabogh··on Insomnia REST client now requires an account
Can we even still have multiple workspaces in scratchpad? I can't find the option anywhere
nabogh··on Insomnia REST client now requires an account
So have I lost the ability to have multiple workspaces without making an account?
nabogh··on Ken Follett Says Readers Still Like Epic Books
I haven't finished the series but the first book, The Way of Kings is my absolute favourite book of all time.
nabogh··on Kagi Search Stats
Does Kagi really only have 8000 members? I'm a paying customer so I figured there'd be many others paying already.
nabogh··on Block the Bots That Feed “AI” Models by Scraping Your Website
Is your objection because of who is doing the training or just AI in general? Like do you have qualms with an individual scraping your site? And what about scraping for non-AI purposes?
nabogh··on Block the Bots That Feed “AI” Models by Scraping Your Website
I don't really understand the viewpoint that people shouldn't be allowed to do math on data that I openly publish. I guess it's about protecting your livelihood.
nabogh··on Podman Desktop celebrates 500k downloads
What feature is available in the desktop that's not available in the cli?
nabogh··on Ask HN: Why did Microsoft, Meta, and PayPal update their ToS today?
Good idea. I might start doing this
nabogh··on Kernighan and Pike were right: Do one thing, and do it well
Can't say I love Obsidian being held up as the best we can do for program design. It's closed source. It could be an elaborate system of duct tape and string holding the thing together.

I mean it likely is quite good based on their velocity and quality. But if we're to learn anything I'd really like to see its source code.

nabogh··on Asteroid crater 520km in diameter buried in southeast Australia, scientists say
There's not a lot of interest around there. Deniliquin is a town of less than 8000.

This picture shows some surrounding towns https://images.theconversation.com/files/541855/original/fil...

nabogh··on Java 21: First Release Candidate
I'm a bit out of the loop on new Java features so I was reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history

And string templates looked exciting to me. But after skimming https://openjdk.org/jeps/430

it sounds like they want to avoid backticks for "safety"? Like we can already use the plus operator to append strings why would it be any less safe to give us an ergonomic way to do that? Oh well, Java isn't exactly known for being ergonomic.

nabogh··on Russia Starts Blocking VPN Protocols
I'm a little confused what Russia has to gain from this. My impression was previously that Russia was somewhat of a wild west when it came to piracy and internet restrictions.

To make things weirder, the article claims that only mobile networks are affected. I wonder why that is. Is this just the decisions of a handful of telcos and it's being reported as a state-imposed restriction?

Edit: also in my opinion, "blocking at the protocol level" is a bit misleading since they can't actually see the packet contents. Wireguard for example is just UDP packets. They have to infer from other patterns that the traffic is Wireguard and drop packets that meet those criteria.

nabogh··on Infrastructure audit completed by Radically Open Security
Oh really? Could you elaborate or point me in the direction of more information on this please?
nabogh··on What's causing Australia's frozen chip shortage and how long will it last?
I'm sorry I don't get the joke because we definitely do not say crisps
nabogh··on Water
Good clues in its previous posting to HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33978978
nabogh··on Ask HN: Is there a future in which password management is sane?
Ah okay well if you think that quantum computing has been cracked then take some solace in the fact that symmetric encryption should be resistant to attacks in a post quantum world.

We'll go back to difficulties in exchanging secrets. But encryption as a whole will still work.

nabogh··on Bram Moolenaar has died
It's so surreal to me that I can look at his commit graph on github and see he was working right up until very recently. Rest in peace.

nabogh··on Why prepared rotisserie chickens are cheaper than ones you cook yourself
In true Aussie fashion they were selling a Vegemite seasoned chicken briefly. I haven't been game but it sounds fun.
nabogh··on Ask HN: Is there a future in which password management is sane?
Honestly this comes across as paranoid yet defeatist. You don't believe encryption works? Really? All encryption? Do you think cryptography researchers are all in collusion or just inept?
nabogh··on Google Employee Accuses WEI-Opponents of Being “Criminals”
> Attacks and doxing make me personally MORE likely to support stronger safety features in chromium, as such acts increase my suspicion that there is significant intimidation from criminals who are afraid this feature will disrupt their illegal and/or unethical businesses, and I don't give in to criminals or bullies

To me this is definitely not "accusing WEI-Opponents of Being Criminals". I don't support WEI but to claim that's what he's saying here is very dishonest.

nabogh··on Nanosecond timestamp collisions are common
Can't find much info about it but is this UUID v7?
nabogh··on Ask HN: What are the best resources for learning networking?
For learning about a VPN I'd recommend the wireguard whitepaper. Short and very helpful. Also get your hands dirty and set up a personal VPN.

If you just use wireguard then you have free reign to make any topology you want. And then you get to troubleshoot the routing mess you've made.

nabogh··on Full Text of the Federalist Papers
I mentioned this in another comment but Standard Ebooks has a great copy https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/alexander-hamilton_john-ja...
nabogh··on Full Text of the Federalist Papers
If you universalize that then if nobody reads the papers or educates themselves on these topics then society will be worse off. You may not have sweeping powers but you do form part of a society that can enact change

nabogh··on “The days of using untyped languages on non-trivial projects are over.”
Is that typescript's fault though? Seems like a nestjs thing
