subract··on Show HN: Check if any of the $656M in unclaimed royalties at The MLC is yours
A note: nowhere in your post or the site (except the footer) is the “MLC” acronym expanded. I certainly didn’t know what it was before now.
subract··on Thoughts on Omarchy
I think the specific feature he alludes to missing is resumable downloads.
subract··on Reservoir Sampling
Looks like it - https://samwho.dev/rss.xml
subract··on You might want to stop running atop
No clue personally, but the author is prolific enough here that I thought it merited posting.
subract··on I ditched the algorithm for RSS
The post proposes a solution to the overload of subscribing to subreddits by subscribing to a search for only the top posts from the subreddit.
subract··on PeerTube mobile app: discover videos while caring for your attention
I missed that, you’re right! I got confused by the blog post saying they only allowed browsing an approved list - I didn’t realize sites could also be added manually.
subract··on PeerTube mobile app: discover videos while caring for your attention
Big fan of what Framasoft is working on here. It’s a shame to see that (edit: iOS) App Store restrictions have prevented browsing any instances not on a pre-blessed list. That all but eliminates its usefulness to me as a self-hoster.
subract··on Rectangle: Move and resize windows in macOS via keyboard shortcuts or snap areas
I used this a fair bit before, but I find the tiling feature in Sequoia sufficient for my needs now.
subract··on CrowdStrike Timeline Mystery
How exactly is Bitsight collecting the data used in this analysis? I understand it’s just a sampling, but how are they sampling traffic between two arbitrary parties (Crowdstrike and customers in this case)?
subract··on How to use the Bitwarden forwarded email alias generator
addy.io allows you to send email from any of your aliases. It’s a little clunky, but it’s the sort of thing I do so infrequently I don’t really mind.

subract··on Proxmox VE: Import Wizard for Migrating VMware ESXi VMs
I see plans with access to the Enterprise repos starting at €110/yr, and plans with 3 support tickets starting at €340. €1020 is the starting price for a plan with a 2hr SLA.

subract··on NASA engineers make progress toward understanding Voyager 1 issue
For those interested in learning more about the challenges in keeping the probes alive, the 2022 documentary It's Quieter in the Twilight follows the small, incredibly dedicated team working the project. Free to stream on Prime.

The simple fact that many of the original engineers are no longer alive presents significant challenges in and of itself.

subract··on Man convicted for trying to help undercover game wardens recover deer with drone
The advent of LAANC for automated airspace authorization has gone a long way towards limiting the number of activities you need a full-on waiver for. If your house is just in controlled airspace (not some type of restricted airspace), it’s possible/likely that the pilots are receiving an automated authorization to fly there up to a certain altitude <400’ AGL.
subract··on Tailscale updates pricing structure: Free plan now Personal plan
See also the changelog [1]. They've also added a free trial for paid plans [2]. Notably, new Personal accounts (formerly Free accounts) that use custom domains will be assumed to be commercial unless the user opts out of the free trial. This doesn't affect existing Free accounts [3].

subract··on Airbnb Is Different Now
Any good ways to read the article without a subscription?
subract··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2023)
Looks like some cool opportunities available, thanks for posting!
subract··on Emotionally Numb: Expertise Dulls Consumer Experience (2021)
Agreed. Having admittedly only read the abstract, I find it odd that it's framed around "consumers" and not just "people."
