senojsitruc··on Little Snitch comes to Linux, but the core logic is closed source
The website is preserved for historical reasons. Nothing there has been active in a long, long time.
senojsitruc··on Little Snitch comes to Linux, but the core logic is closed source
I wrote GlowWorm ~20 years ago, duplicating much of the LittleSnitch functionality at the time.

I remember discovering remote kernel debugging across ethernet; it was magical.

Don't be making a mess in the HN echo chamber!
senojsitruc··on Returning to Office Is Great and Everyone Should Do It
These I-talk-with-people-for-a-living perspectives on return-to-office are exactly why I have never wanted to be in an office setting. I get why the author wants to be in the office; he thrives on social interaction.

For all the ways that matter, find a more meaningful bar.
senojsitruc··on Ask HN: Should you reply STOP to unwanted texts?
I tried that recently with some political texts. I do not recommend. It could be coincidental, but I suddenly started receiving a lot more political texts.

It might be true that I stopped receiving texts FROM THAT NUMBER, it's clearly the same organization spamming me from other numbers. Whatever. I'd rather get spam texts than robocalls.

senojsitruc··on LLMs are a dead end to AGI, says François Chollet
LLMs have always been a parlor trick.
senojsitruc··on Ask HN: Has Apple lost it's way?
They're in their "Balmer era". They'll emerge one day when they find their Satya. Their boring and often agonizing existence will continue until then.
senojsitruc··on Ask HN: Who is still thrilled with their M1 Mac (Mini or otherwise)
Like the Apple TV, I view the Mac Mini as an under-appreciated product that sees very little love from Apple. They're both great products at a decent price.

I have a mid-2012 quad-core Mac Mini that worked as a network file server until I replaced it very recently. It still works fine though. I'm almost a little sad at the thought of selling it.

senojsitruc··on Ask HN: What do you do when your board member is unethical?
I'd start by dropping the message that he's on the "wrong side of this issue." It's clear that many people believe that's very much up for debate. Right or wrong though, he'll certainly anger one group or the other with his vocal position. That's the real issue.

If he took your position on the matter and was similarly vocal, would you have the same concern?

senojsitruc··on How I changed my D-Link camera to a locally managed IP camera
If you have a device on which you can run my app (streamie.co), it’ll record your camera 24/7 to a NAS or S3 and write out .mov files (also ten minute segments), but they’d be trivially combined with ffmpeg. As long as you don’t need more than three cameras, it’s all free.
senojsitruc··on The FBI has formed a national database to track swatting incidents
This is a hysterical take when every interaction with a cop involves interacting with someone who has a gun, but clearly that’s okay…? Because cops are always peaceful and judicious?

senojsitruc··on Ask HN: Anyone using a Quest Pro instead of monitors?
This is the future I’m waiting for.
senojsitruc··on Ask HN: Do you have something you continually work on for years?
Streamie (streamieapp.com), which started its life as CameraMan (macOS only), was my DIY solution for getting my security cameras on my desktop computer. Later, when tvOS (Apple TV) finally added VideoToolbox support, I had a much better platform to target for such things.

I started dabbling with this project in 2014. It’s a full time endeavor these days. I become _very_ uncomfortable when I think about how I’d react if I lost all copies of the source code. I don’t think I’d try to start over.

senojsitruc··on Patreon cuts deep inside creators’ pockets
...that I can use for free to build a Mac app that won't run without security warnings, or to test in a simulator -- otherwise I have to pay $100/yr. The 30% tax brings no value.

senojsitruc··on Ask HN: Have you used SQLite as a primary database?
Yes, via Bedrock (bedrockdb.com) for Streamie (streamieapp.com). No complaints.
