seany··on Accepting US car standards would risk European lives
We just did this in the States. Family of 5 with a malamute that likes to road trip to places and do active things (read as, we need luggage space). In the "not crazy expensive" range was some mini vans, and suburban sized vehicles. Ended up with a Ford excursion max.
seany··on Migrating Dillo from GitHub
i still kind of miss mercurial.
seany··on Molly: An Improved Signal App
Now we just need to drop the phone number requirements and signal would be "done" for all practical purposes
seany··on How the Atomic Tests Looked Like from Los Angeles
Lots of interesting rocket history at SSFL too https://flickr.com/photos/heads-up/14531361085/in/dateposted... . Fascinating place
seany··on I just want working RCS messaging
Are there reasonable foss WhatsApp clients?
seany··on Maestro Technology Sells Used SSD Drives as New
You can dump any vdev you want in a special. I have 2x 3 way mirrors in both of my nas boxes right now
seany··on Samsung Family Hub for 2025 Update Elevates the Smart Home Ecosystem
Really any option that has true dual compressors is going to be fairly solid. We just got a Bosch 800 and have been quiet happy with it
seany··on Data centers contribute to high prices as energy bills electrify local politics
The fed tax credit ones are just part of your normal filing with the IRS (5695). The state ones vary
seany··on Generative AI Image Editing Showdown
Thanks for the tip. Need to see how well these work for inpainting
seany··on Generative AI Image Editing Showdown
Is there anything like this comparison for nsfw images? I'm married to a boudoir photographer who sometimes wants to use ai tools for things, and they are all _awfull_ if there is nudity on photos. It's like some sort of neo puritanism has taken over.
seany··on What we talk about when we talk about sideloading
I don't even understand how this is an interesting or relevant point. "Can I install what I want on my service how and when I want" is the end of the conversation.
seany··on FocusTube: A Chrome extension that hides YouTube Shorts
The most annoying thing about shorts is that they seem to have more of the "old" YouTube algorithm back. The one that actually clustered around what you had watched. I often see a thumbnail, realize it's a short, then go and find the long version (often off YouTube)
seany··on Trump pardons convicted Binance founder
Seems like just nuking the stupid AML rules would be better.
seany··on AWS multiple services outage in us-east-1
gov, iso*, cn are also already separate (unless you need to mess with your bill, or certain kinds of support tickets)
seany··on $912 energy independence without red tape
It falls into that "soft bigotry of low expectations" zone. There are intro articles and advanced articles; the advanced ones don't need to spend the first 1/3 of the volume talking about safety.
seany··on $912 energy independence without red tape
The amount of gatekeeping in this thread is nuts.

The idea here is totally reasonable, it just needs some of the parts more right sized etc

seany··on Cloudflare Introduces NET Dollar
This is only really interesting if you can use it with out KYC
seany··on Meta’s live demo fails; “AI” recording plays before the actor takes the steps
You can say fuck on the Internet. It's fine
seany··on PureVPN IPv6 Leak
Do they allow inbound ports?
seany··on Waymo has received our pilot permit allowing for commercial operations at SFO
This is actually why you have "Naval aviators". To maritime people a pilot means something else. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_pilot
seany··on Tomorrow's emoji today: Unicode 17.0
I just want the gun to be a real gun again
seany··on Signal Secure Backups
This is the number one thing that is missing IMHO. I would gladly take it over back up options
seany··on Not paying with cash
Monero would be ideal
seany··on For all that's holy, can you just leverage the web, please?
The other specs are often different. Things like 100% duty cycle, uv resistant coatings, ipx ratings, serial ports for control etc etc
seany··on Passkeys and Modern Authentication
Exporting passkeys is the single required feature for me to start using them more. The "anti phishing" push has really gotten a little too crazy. It seems mostly related to our legal inability to push security responsibility onto consumers.
seany··on Apple pulls iPhone torrent app from AltStore PAL in Europe
Yes
seany··on Detecting and countering misuse of AI
This is the reason why self hosted is important.
seany··on We should have the ability to run any code we want on hardware we own
It's up to the manufacturer to prove that the software modification had a material impact on the issue being covered. Yes that's expensive, yes that's the point.
seany··on Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What should I use?
Shadowsocks used to be the thing that _really_ worked in CN. Not sure what's current there.

AWS ap-southeast-3 should still be up, and isn't in a different partition like CN, govcloud, iso etc. So a VM there and a vpc peer in the US should get you around a lot of stuff.

seany··on Playing every game of Wordle simultaneously
You can say fuck on the Internet. It's fine
