PayPal might be a bank but maybe PayPal accounts aren't bank accounts
shim__··on PayPal to support Ethereum and Bitcoin
You might still want an mediator, sure I can pay you directly on chain but what if you don't even ship my goods? I'm not going to court over an 5$ item but I don't mind engaging PayPal support.

shim__··on A Rust shaped hole
Swift seems more like an Go or Python alternative
shim__··on Introducing tmux-rs
Build Systems for C(++) are a mess, no package manager often means git submodules. Whereas Rust is actually easy, just requiring an `cargo install`. Don't know about Zig though Zig hasn't really taken of just yet imo.
shim__··on Ask HN: Do people actually pay for small web tools?
5$/mo is expensive for a small tool. 20$ once would be fine.

shim__··on Passkey technology is elegant, but it's most definitely not usable security
I'd be so easy if this proposal were implemented: https://www.yubico.com/blog/yubico-proposes-webauthn-protoco... one could always register one or more additional keys without having access to them.

You can just sync Obsidian with nextcloud, Dropbox or whatever

shim__··on Norwegian fishermen hunting for halibut caught a US nuclear sub
Regular propellers somwtimes feature an rope cutter. If that doesn't work the sub could still surface and dispatch divers to free the prop.
shim__··on NixOS is a good server OS, except when it isn't
