suresh70··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)
I am working on a SSL certificate monitor. It comes with its own probe that can scan your private infra and collect the certs for monitoring. It also has a web interface for monitoring SSL certificate of any public domain. There are a few chinks here and there. Hope I can get it over by this month.

Fingerprints are a very feeble form of biometrics. India's, Aadhar - A biometric-based ID system that primarily uses fingerprints is the best case study to understand this.

Are there any resources somebody here can point to regarding these topics?.

suresh70··on Spam call filter app. Possibe?
Have you had a chance to look at truecaller? It crowdsources data on who is spamming, advertising and marketing. In India where you get sales pitches even from a personal number, truecaller is a savior. Instead of having to answer questions, crowdsourcing would be a viable one

suresh70··on Why our outdated brains are making us unhappy
Instagram follows the same path as Facebook when it comes to curating content to the core of user's likes and dislikes. When a content that is tailored to the user's preference starts to surface more on the feed ,it tends to keep the user engaged passively even if not active, leading to ad revenue for the company. Once you are out of the platform and exposed to different, if not opposing views,people find it tough to handle and lead to depression.
