nubb··on Ask HN: Entrepreneurs, how long did it take you to succeed?
i decided i’ve succeeded, took myself out of the rat race, spend my days golfing and day trading.

maybe you’ve already succeeded and don’t know it

nubb··on Code highlighting extension for Cursor AI used for $500k theft
500k in seed.txt on a dev box is criminally irresponsible
nubb··on Show HN: Somo – a human friendly alternative to netstat
i’ve typed netstat -pna so many times in my life using something else would totally ruin me
nubb··on How to live an intellectually rich life
this. folks just end up being smarmy snobs about what is universal truth when the goal should be leveraging this knowledge to produce new things/ideas
nubb··on The demoscene as a UNESCO heritage in Sweden
ive always thought the ethereum ecosystem would give demoscene a revival. storing the demos on chain adds a new layer of complexity where the bigger the size the more expensive to deploy.
nubb··on An Introduction to BGP from the operator of a small AS
+1 to dn42 to play with routing in a really big cool environment. it’s been years since i participated but i hope it’s doing well. the work one would have to do to mimic the env is just infeasible.

off topic: i always thought mini internets like dn42 would be a super cool place to run secret/private services. fun to imagine.

nubb··on Ask HN: What do you use to backup your VMs?
veeam is great i wish they offered some kind of personal license
nubb··on Sei pays out $2M bug bounty
iirc someone successfully argued code is law in a court in france
nubb··on Quitting a high-status job at Microsoft for freedom
maybe it’s hard for these exec types to understand that the subordinates they thought loved them actually despise them. then they write articles like this.
nubb··on OpenTTD
i just happen to try this game recently... is it just a micromanager sim? seems like (early game at least) i am just micro managing a bunch of trucks and trains telling them where to go individually.
nubb··on Show HN: I built ContainerCVE – a web tool to scan public Docker images
you should include seed phrase and private key detection. a few crypto protocols that offer public docker images have been drained from accidentally committing keys to docker hub.
nubb··on Man designs ChatGPT bot subscription service to annoy, waste telemarketers' time
there is a potential downside to this kind of action.

i nuked a scam caller once with a killer deez nutz joke. the guy went bonkers when he realized. i think it was ligma or bofa or something. that day i won a battle.

since then i receive 25+ calls a day. i had to enable call blocking from unknown numbers. unfortunately i sometimes have to disable this feature when expecting calls.

you may win a battle and walk away with a cool war story but you will lose the war a million times over.

nubb··on San Francisco library turning off WiFi at night to keep homeless from using it
one day when you’re permanently disabled because a bum hit you with a wrench unprovoked, remember to apologize to them for putting them in that position.
nubb··on San Francisco library turning off WiFi at night to keep homeless from using it
everyone acting so shocked here probably hasn’t had your home robbed, your car windows broken, or been assaulted and/or robbed by a drugged out bum.

at some point enough is enough and they gotta go.

i think it’s a juvenile attitude to look down your nose at the endless victims and tell them to just be more understanding of the hardships the homeless face.

nubb··on All About Skimmers
while criminals are pretty individualistic, they work in groups. eggs get broken to make the omelette, cost of doing business, etc.

not to mention criminals can stash money and retrieve it when they are released.

tldr - the idea of doing enough crime to save a lot of money and live on it on the other side, is pretty appealing to a lot of ppl.

nubb··on SEC Accuses Binance of Mishandling Funds and Lying to Regulators
congrats on this successful karma farming post
nubb··on SEC Sues Binance and CEO Zhao for Breaking US Securities Rules
sarcasm and hyperbole soon to become illegal. thanks. good work.
nubb··on Thinking about our passive exposure to IPv6 issues
ipv6 has been “around the corner” since 2010 and it sucks we’re trying to force a protocol everyone hates. i get all the reasons it’s great but when everyone on earth hates a single thing all together maybe it’s a sign???
nubb··on Making home Internet faster has little to do with “speed”
unrelated but the hn web archive bots are getting redic
nubb··on What is NMAP and how to use it? (2020)
for those interested in this also check out massscan for another port scan tool.
nubb··on Japan Says 1.5M Living as Recluses After Pandemic
risk dying or deal w being sad. what would you choose?
nubb··on Ask HN: Disabled and out of work for years, but need some side income
unpopular opinion on hn but crypto and web3 is an amazing industry
nubb··on Creative coding, making loops with Processing
i really want to learn to make these but the math always feels like a mountain of work to learn and i end up discouraged.

i find these works so interesting and mesmerizing. really jealous of the talented artists/programmers making these.

nubb··on NYSE Tuesday opening mayhem traced to a staffer who left a backup system running
wonder how they measure this and is this smart engineering from the exchange or just new fast network gear.
nubb··on Bitcoin core developer claims to have lost 200 BTC in hack
everyone is watching the avi case now to see whether a court will rule code is law. going to be super interesting to watch play out.
nubb··on Bitcoin core developer claims to have lost 200 BTC in hack
the funny bits here are if the stolen funds are sent to binance.com (not binance.us) cz/binance will claim they don’t have jurisdiction.

it’s apparently illegal for cz to help americans via binance.com.

nubb··on Valve hit a home run with the first year of Steam Deck
emudeck alone makes the Deck worth every penny. playing ps2 games on a handheld is friggin awesome.

my biggest complaint is the battery life but the device charges surprisingly fast.

nubb··on Crypto and Other New Faiths
hacker news talking about crypto is like your racist maga boomer uncle talking about crt.
nubb··on Show HN: Run unsafe user generated JavaScript in the browser
open invite for security researchers to test this app?
nubb··on Crypto exchanges may be exchanging ETH loans to pass proof-of-reserve audits
this specific type of crime is impossible on chain and this is another win for defi and self custody (and in turn promotes being educated rather than relying on bankers).

pathetic whiny HNers will cope-post all the typical bs here anyway. talk to your therapists about your problems.
