recrudesce··on Compromised – Pwned passwords API on-premisses
Does this keep the database updated, or is that manual ? If manual, does it replace the database every time, or does it do a delta update ?
recrudesce··on Ask HN: What do you do as Team Building while on remote?
Among Us games.

That's the honest truth :P

recrudesce··on Ask HN: Is there a way to programmatically test an API?
https://www.postman.com/use-cases/api-testing-automation/
recrudesce··on Ask HN: Why do people complain about GDPR blocks on HN stories?
"Do you believe you have an inherent right to enforce legal measures outside of the EU?"

Do you not see the irony in what you typed ? Someone who thinks that the EU enforcing policy is ANY different to what the US does to the World on a daily basis :P

I don't complain, I just go "welp, looks like they couldn't be bothered to be careful with my data" and never go to that site again. Then I just find the same article on another website and read it there.

recrudesce··on Ask HN: What password manager do you use?
Enpass.io with the Enpass Chrome extension and the Android app.

Data is stored on my Google Drive, for syncing across multiple devices.

recrudesce··on Shapez.io: open-source base building game inspired by Factorio
Bought this a while back and have so far played it for 23 hours.

Sometimes I left it running in the background just for the music :P

recrudesce··on Ask HN: Is anyone else having their Gmail app overtaken by Google Meet?
One extra button isn't exactly the app being "overtaken by Google Meet" now is it ?

It uses the same amount of screen real estate as the Google Search bar on the main Android home screen, but you're not crying about how the home page is being "overtaken by Google Search" are you ?

recrudesce··on Poll: Which name to use for a piano teaching application?
Why not "PiaKnow"
recrudesce··on Ask HN: Why has YouTube degraded so quickly so suddenly?
I have network wide ad blocking at home, and I don't see any ads when I use my desktop. But as soon as I switch to my Android handset I get like 20 ads in a 10 minute video even when the handset is forced to use my internal DNS server.

You should try it sometime just to see how bad it actually is.

recrudesce··on Amazon demands we correct an article refering to an Echo as a “microphone”
By that logic, your phone should be called a "microphone".

Ignore all the additional stuff it can do, it has a microphone, therefore it's OBVIOUSLY a passive listening device, ergo "microphone" /s

recrudesce··on nothing to see here
Well, someone redeemed it and didn't post that they had. Likely it got snapped up by a bot for use in scams or something. Shame.
recrudesce··on Ask HN: How to Learn AWS?
https://www.aws.training/ should help you out :)
recrudesce··on “finally, now more than ever, women can buy our product”
Very misleading, the video on that tweet cuts off before the whole "we've given you 20 grand of real cash to see your invention come to life" part...

So yes, this is weird cos it's a "we've made a female version of the game", but it's also "here's a load of cash to make your invention exist cos we believe in you".

recrudesce··on He had AppleCare. Then Apple sent his broken iMac to Best Buy
So. Why do you need someone at Apple to replace a harddisc/memory module ? Why does it matter if someone at Apple installs your OS or someone at Best Buy does ?

People seem to be making an issue out of nothing. I'm sure he would have screamed a lot louder if he hadn't bought AppleCare. At least Apple FIXED his iMac rather than just demanding he bought a new one...

You can't win against some people.

recrudesce··on Garmin services and production go down after ransomware attack
provide an official source for the "confirmation" other than that ithome website...
recrudesce··on Ask HN: What password manager do you use?
Enpass.io, currently, as it allows me to keep my password vault on my own server, and it also allows me to access my passwords from anywhere the app is installed.

I moved to Enpass from Lastpass.

recrudesce··on Ask HN: How do you dress to work as an introvert?
Superdry hoodie, unbranded jeans, and Vans 100% of the time.

If people comment on the way you dress, then that shows their own personality flaws, not yours. Dress how you want, as long as it's within the company policy.

recrudesce··on Ask HN: Why would someone look for a female CEO?
Sounds like a company who wants to hire a female CEO so they can be one of those "LOOK HOW DIVERSE WE ARE" companies that like to shout about it at every given opportunity to be fashionable or in the news.

Controversial Opinion Time: Hire the right person for the job, don't look for a specific gender or ethnicity to meet some arbitrary quota.

recrudesce··on Now I understand why almost no one uses encrypted email
Sure, but the other weird thing is the author uses Protonmail... which can support PGP natively, so why the fart-arsing around ?

https://protonmail.com/support/knowledge-base/how-to-use-pgp...

The whole article is basically "lol look at this thing that is actually relatively well supported with a small amount of work, but I couldn't be bothered to spend time doing some research about my use case and instead just read the first google result I found, so I'm going to crap all over it and make it look worse than it actually is for Internet Karma."

And the comment about being a novice, looking at the rest of the blog site implies the user has some level of competence when it comes to computing technologies as they are messing around with webserver configs etc.

recrudesce··on Wekan: Open-source, trello-like kanban
Have used a self hosted version of Taiga for years at work hooked into Keycloak for SSO. Works perfectly well for us :)
recrudesce··on Now I understand why almost no one uses encrypted email
Yeah, it's tedious if you do it the long way around because you, for some reason, have arbitrarily restricted yourself to only doing it via command line...

Just get an email client that has PGP capability built in.

recrudesce··on Gmail locked, password and recovery lost
Why not talk to Google Support - you can prove ownership in multiple ways...
recrudesce··on Andy Gavin (Naughty Dog) – How Crash Bandicoot Hacked the Original PlayStation
Duplicate of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22439752 from 4 days ago.
recrudesce··on Recognize text in images and PDFs in 3 lines of JavaScript, zero dependencies
Yeah I thought that too, "no dependencies apart from this massive dependence on this third party website"
recrudesce··on X-Force Command Cyber Tactical Operations Center
If that turned up outside your office unannounced because it was being used as part of a red team, it might kinda throw the whole red team operation.

"GOTTA BE STEALTHY !!!" rolls up in a massive truck

recrudesce··on Show HN: Google Search from the terminal
To open URL's on Ubuntu, use `x-www-browser` instead of `start` in utils.py line 16.

But you'd have to enumerate the OS first. Plus it'll be different for other OS's like MacOS etc.

recrudesce··on Ask HN: Any Windows SSH manager that comes with a hipster terminal?
Microsoft actually make one: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/introducing-windo...

The other option would be to enable WSL, and just run a Linux distro and use the terminal on that.

recrudesce··on Ask HN: Did LinkedIn started selling user emails last month?
Or your email address is in another mailing list that was sold by another company.

That or you're still using the same email address that was disclosed in the 2012 data breach that LinkedIn suffered... which is easily obtainable.

recrudesce··on [dead]
The image used at the top is a stock image. I would say this is pretty much a fake article as unable to corroborate via any news outlets.
recrudesce··on [dead]
HN is not the place to ask these kinds of questions.

Your best bet is to check something like https://downdetector.co.uk/status/reddit/

Which does show that Reddit is having issues currently.

But yeah, not the thing to ask HN.
