They will get more sun burns... at least I do when I shave my head.

They are probably doing this because the hair are a nuisance when they process the skins?

tormock··on So, you want to be a darknet drug lord
Also, by the way, I am building a switchblade 300 clone and the charge will be nitrocellulose!!!
tormock··on So, you want to be a darknet drug lord
> This is why I sometimes do things which a drug lord would do even though I am not one (I swear). It's for the benefit of possible-future me where I do have something to hide.

We need robots that do this constantly.

tormock··on Ukrainian escapes war with USB stick holding 40% of his life savings in crypto
assuming the Internet doesn't go down, I store it online, encrypted, in the public view... I can send you my wallet, if you want (the key to it is in my mind)

> How would anyone even know you have your Bitcoin private key hidden on a USB stick?

I think he's talking about the gold... much harder to hide...

It probably can prevent your electronics from getting destroyed by making your car a sort of Faraday cage in the event of a nuclear EMP.
tormock··on Turning off 5G adds hours of battery life to iPhones, iPads
reminds me of when 4g started...
tormock··on Ukrainian escapes war with USB stick holding 40% of his life savings in crypto
I email/matrix myself GPG encrypted files of my wallets so I don't even need to carry them... so definitely easier to carry.
tormock··on Ask HN: Anyone else suddenly become a 'prepper'?
Got some potassium iodine for my kids and got supplies to ground my car... that's about it.

Much easier to carry then gold...
tormock··on Start Self Hosting
Can you trust yourself with passwords for true e2e encrypted traffic? that could work too...
tormock··on Start Self Hosting
> Self hosting is hard. You need to take care of security, backups, software updates, software installation and so on.

automation is not a thing? I'm pretty all cloud providers do it...

tormock··on Show HN: 3D site to show off what we've built
> what makes you say it feels 2d?

the main thing is probably the 2d scrolling

tormock··on Show HN: 3D site to show off what we've built
there's a 3d object on the site, but the site itself feels very 2d
tormock··on Adafruit requires 2FA to prevent bots buying out Raspberry Pi
yeah, ESPs aren't general purpose computers but they are still very capable (I used one as a "router" before to create a network in my car: https://github.com/martin-ger/esp_wifi_repeater)
tormock··on Nintendo Switch prevents downgrades by irreparably blowing its own fuses (2020)
> I'm not happy that the Nintendo Switch is locked down, and any ruling against Apple which also applied to console manufacturers would be great news in my book. I just have better things to be angry about.

I'm just sad about where the technology world is heading

tormock··on Nintendo Switch prevents downgrades by irreparably blowing its own fuses (2020)
Nintendo is worst then Facebook (in different ways)
tormock··on Ask HN: For static HTML, what is your go to template?

tormock··on Folding bicycle small enough to fit in hand luggage
It all comes down to what is your reason for using a folding bicycle...

I really love my light aluminum non-folding bike that is pedal-powered... but if I would buy a folding bike, it would be electric-motor powered.

tormock··on Gas Prices Push Europe’s Gig Workers to Strike
They are coming back down (a bit) here in Southeast USA... I could get a gallon for $3.83 today (87 octane)....
tormock··on Tell HN: Did you know you can negotiate price on many things?
I still get 5ms ping in CSGO and they upped my limit from 1tb/month to 1.2t/month....
tormock··on Ask HN: Would you make your own health records public?
nobody reads it, because at the same time, they have you sign 5 other forms that have so much text that you would miss your appointment if you read them
tormock··on Ask HN: Would you make your own health records public?
I really hate the thing that every private health company/doctor's office have you sign so that they can share your health data files however they want.
tormock··on Adafruit requires 2FA to prevent bots buying out Raspberry Pi
ESP8266s can be used for a lot of things that people use RPi for... and they are a lot cheaper.

I just sold 2 used RPi that I bought ~10 years ago for more then what I paid for them brand new...

tormock··on Ask HN: Would you make your own health records public?
No.
tormock··on KeePassXC 2.7.0
> and it handles the URL matching with Auto-Type without any extra extensions.

I don't see how switching to a different extension will improve anything.... I have global auto-type binded to CTRL-SHIFT-C and it just works

tormock··on KeePassXC 2.7.0
Same setup, the DB only came out of sync (conflict) a few times but that's because with my setup Syncthing is only doing it's thing when I'm on my local network...
