traspler··on Post-processing is ruining iPhone photos
Afaik it „just“ debayers the raw sensor image because of the unusual pattern Apple uses. Related: https://lux.camera/understanding-proraw/
traspler··on Matrix Community Year in Review 2022
I can't seem to find that setting in the iOS app settings.
traspler··on Matrix Community Year in Review 2022
I really, really want an option to disable read recipes display in rooms on Mobile. Just like on Desktop. Same goes for all the status messages (like joined/left). In general I miss some more customization options on Mobile.

And in general I‘d love to get rid of sending read recipes but I remember there being a whole discussion around that.

traspler··on From Plex to Jellyfin Media Server
The subtitle timing is also broken. Strangely when I cast the same video to my ATV I get better results than using the native app.

In general, on all Plex apps I've had a lot of issues with 4K content and Surround downmixing. You can configure an audio boost option for downmixing in the options but even then it's still barely usable.

traspler··on EKS Security Checklist: 10 Best Practices for a Secure Cluster
One other consideration: If you use something like the Secrets Store CSI Driver and map the resulting k8s Secret to an env variable, it won't update even if the CSI Driver updates the underlying k8s Secret. If it's mounted as a file it will update and you could potentially detect the change and reload your app.
traspler··on TypeScript is now officially 10 years old
I‘m not well versed in type theory and some of the types libraries require, especially in the React ecosystem, really make my brain hurt. And sometimes it seems unnaturally hard to figure out what is even expected to type something correctly.
traspler··on Have lots of AWS accounts
Ah thanks, I wasn't aware of the finer details then.
traspler··on Have lots of AWS accounts
At the company I work they just built their „Landing Zone“ as AWS calls it with all the on-prem connectivity, shared VPCs, Product Catalogs, IAM restrictions to the moon and so on and every team gets their own account linked to that one. It‘s an enormous amount of work to get all of that to work nicely together but when it works it‘s very nice and allows for a great way to partition responsibilities. For smaller deployments I think you will be in a mess pretty fast when you start doing cross-account things without enough planning ahead. But per-project accounts? Sure!
traspler··on Have lots of AWS accounts
Multi Account is a normal pattern for AWS. They even have tools to handle that better like AWS Control Tower. Someone from AWS we talked to even mentioned it as a perk (to get the free tier on every account).
traspler··on Google is shutting down Stadia
Do you think the YouTube integration and the other "killer features" you mentioned would have made Stadia more popular if they actually came to fruition?

Personally I believe if the YouTube integration was ready at launch the whole Stadia story would have been very, very different. I do believe that a frictionless way to jump into a game that you are currently watching a video/stream for or even join a streamer in multiplayer with a click would have been an amazing thing!

traspler··on WebKit Features in Safari 16.0
And Web Push should come in 2023 (according to https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-16/features/ ). Which I both love and hate. As a developer I like it as it makes PWAs even more viable but as a user I have notifications in all browsers disabled anyways. I wonder how this "opt-in" setting will be exposed.
traspler··on PC wakes from sleep when changing clothes
"Sitting on gas lift chairs can generate an EMI spike which blanks your monitor" I'm not sure how exotic this is but I always had the issue that my monitor has infrequent and unexplainable blankings, I guessed it's just the cable, power brick or monitor but this is a much more fun thing to blame ;)
traspler··on Telegram is asking German users when to share information with law enforcement
Thanks a lot! This is what I was looking for.
traspler··on Telegram is asking German users when to share information with law enforcement
Well, Telegram is my main messenger and I don't associate myself with any of the mentioned groups. I think most of your impressions are bit bit over the top. That's not your fault as the media likes to paint Telegram in that light. Sure, there are these channels and yes Telegram tries to be light on censoring them, focusing only on the public and dangerous ones but still, claiming "Telegram is considered a platform for people, which do not respect the basic values of democracy" is a bit much as you could replace Telegram with the name of any social media/messenger platform.
traspler··on Telegram is asking German users when to share information with law enforcement
Is there anything special going on in Germany atm to prompt this? I‘m slighlty confused why they would do such a poll…
traspler··on The downfall of smart TVs: From promises of seamless viewing to ad tool
There can be all kinds of fixes and features in the FW for the various display modes. From SDR to HDR to audio settings.
traspler··on Ask HN: What is the best password manager for business use?
I love BitWarden, i use it both personally and at the company I work at. The previous company I worked at used it for all employees. I‘m not sure if it has all the „business“ features you might desire but check it out, you could even host it on-prem if you want ;)
traspler··on Windows Start Menu not starting? You're not alone
Meanwhile it‘s still pure luck if you can open the calendar or if it will take 20s to open with all the days missing. (Windows 11, calendar from the taskbar clock) - Windows 11 just doesn‘t like to open menus from the taskbar it seems ;)
traspler··on Nuclear turn green as EU parliament approves new taxonomy
How is technically solved? We are talking enormous timelines for which we have to guarantee safe handling of the waste. Every try until now has proven to be inadequate.

So we are in the situation where we live with old powerplants that are not up to standard and no way to handle that but we will definitely be in the future?

„Can‘t happen“ is always the argument until it does and it‘s a difference if we are talking about something that will be over in short time or will remain a problem forever. But my point was more in the direction of how to handle that, if the solution is bury it and move far away from it, it‘s not something that can be scaled.

traspler··on Nuclear turn green as EU parliament approves new taxonomy
I'm always a bit baffled by the amount of pro-nuclear comments on HN and their stance on how everyone who disagrees is just not educated enough. Please educate me: Is the waste problem solved? Are we not still fighting with all the previous attempts of handling it? Is "dig a hole in a salt deposit and keep it there" really good enough for the very, very, very long term? Are old powerplants properly decommissioned and replaced with new ones when the time comes? Can we really claim to be able to handle worst case scenarios well (e.g. Fukushima)?
traspler··on Vite – Next Generation Front End Tooling
This might be stupid and petty but the only reason why I want enough Karma on HN is to be able to downvote these kinds of comments. They make me irrationally angry. Especially if they are under a link to a release announcement or changelog link, which at least, this is not.
traspler··on Apple Just Wrecked 15 Startups in Less Than 1 Hour
Passkeys make PW managers obsolete? Only if the Platforms lock down their syncing. I‘d love to sync my Passkeys to BitWarden and share them through their Vaults with family, etc. The sync part is already there, on iOS you will be able to sync it through iCloud keychain and share it with AirDrop, there is no reason why this can‘t be opened up.
traspler··on Deprecation of OpenGL and OpenCL (2018)
From what I heard, Apple‘s OpenGL driver had a lot of bugs & issues, now that they kind of re-built it as a wrapper, did they they care to replicate the bugs as well? If not I would assume that some Apps might not work with this new wrapper or maybe some even get perf boosts. Or am I understanding things wrong?
traspler··on AWS SNS vs. SQS – Main Differences
Pretty good and simple explanation, thanks a lot!

There are a couple of things I‘m left wondering: When the SNS is used to notify through Email, Push or SMS then even in the fan-out pattern, no SQS is involved on these paths, right? (seems to me that only on A2A paths SQS would be involved, at least from the diagrams) So is there anything else to help with reliability there that the notifications actually do go out?

For workloads where you e.g. want to alert users through different means, not every user might have the same options selected, e.g. some only Push and others SMS and EMail; would that be modeled through different topics which have different combinations of subscribers attached (some only 1) or would it be better to skip SNS and push multiple messages to different queues directly?

traspler··on Fly.io: The reclaimer of Heroku's magic
Same thing happened to me with Lime (the bike and scooter „rental“ company) after they kept charging my old CC even after deleting and adding a new one, which creeped me out as I would hope a delete action on a payment method actually means delete. Instead of deleting my account they banned me so I could never register again.
traspler··on Apple says they're removing my game because it's more than 2 years old
Mostly time and hassle I would imagine. Apples requirements also shifted in the meantime so you might also be forced to provide more info/pictures/etc. which again comes down to time and hassle.
traspler··on Cheat Engine contains GPL-licensed code but disallows commercial use

traspler··on Intel deprecates SGX on Core series processors
The crypto coin they include a wallet for, MobileCoin, is also based around SGX afaik.

Create a new one?
traspler··on End the Streaming Struggle with Plex
Ok scrap that, you only indicate what services you have access to and this is only the search engine part, it will simply redirect you to the services app/site when you select play on something, it is not embedded.
