utrack··on Everything
What's shared between the "Property Management" and "Photo Studio"?

The UI frameworks already exist, there's 0 reason to share more things between them. That is, unless it has a slopped revolutionary(tm) UI framework #1000.

utrack··on We’re making Bunny DNS free
I suspect that the pressure on this old infra had increased (because the customers started moving onto it); from the market POV it makes sense to put a bit more pressure on the customer tbh.
utrack··on Machine-verified proof that M3P ∈ P and P = NP via Pedigree Polytopes
I, too, like it when my theorems have zero 'sorry's in them.
utrack··on Diskless Linux boot using ZFS, iSCSI and PXE
does it support encrypted /boot though?
utrack··on StarFighter 16-Inch
3575EUR seems like a steep price for a znver4 processor from 2023 to be honest.
utrack··on Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent
If you accidentally skipped it, go to Preferences -> AI Controls -> toggle on Block AI Enhancements, it disables everything.
utrack··on Spain's parliament will act against massive IP blockages by LaLiga
Is there a good alternative option for their reverse tunnels/ways to hide my real egress that'll also block the bots?
utrack··on Tell HN: Docker pull fails in Spain due to football Cloudflare block
They block the whole of Cloudflare R2, I believe the Docker hub is just (heh) a collateral.

When the La Liga match starts, everything that's proxied via CF (including zero access reverse tunnels) stops working.

There's even a website made for checking if the match is on: https://hayahora.futbol/

You can check if your host is affected: https://hayahora.futbol/#comprobador&domain=docker-images-pr...

utrack··on Kagi Translate now supports LinkedIn Speak as an output language
I'm glad I can choose the level of formality. https://translate.kagi.com/?from=en&to=peepee%20poopoo&text=...
utrack··on Inside CECOT – 60 Minutes [video]
It's important though that Mullvad doesn't do port forwarding; you won't be able to seed effectively
utrack··on Recall for Linux
I don't see any results on KDE Wayland; a (fairly old) open issue: https://github.com/openrecall/openrecall/issues/10

utrack··on 996
Exactly - I felt like the real work happened only 11-12 and 15-18, and maaaybe some meetings 19-20. Everything else was a fluff.
utrack··on 996
Not a lot of people know, but the 996 in Alibaba included 2 hour long lunch and sleep break, as well as 1 hour for a dinner at 6 pm.
utrack··on Show HN: Smart email filters to unfuck your email
Yep - I put that rule at the bottom so that everything I want elsewhere is sorted by some preceding rule. That's how unfuck works too, though.

My ruleset looks like this now:

To: (tix|orders)@domain | From: orders@* | Subject contains (pedido|order|sipariş|confirma) -> something I bought, to Orders

To: tix@domain -> to Tickets

To: travel@domain | Subject contains (tickets|billete) -> to Travel

(some specific mailing lists by sender) -> to Reads - those are the newsletters I want to read

From: *@(domains of banks I have) -> to Banks - obviously

From: *@linkedin.com -> to Linkedin; it's noisy but sometimes useful

Header list-unsubscribe exists -> to Ads

That's about it. I don't remember the last time something I didn't want reached my inbox, however I go to the ads and do a mass unsubscription every couple of months.

utrack··on Show HN: Smart email filters to unfuck your email
To be honest, that Fastmail filter filters out almost every ad in any language.

{ "conditions": [ { "lookHow": "exists", "lookHeader": "list-unsubscribe", "lookFor": "exists \"list-unsubscribe\"", "lookIn": "header" } ], ... }

Is there any way to subscribe to be notified when the Linux package becomes available?
utrack··on Graceful Shutdown in Go: Practical Patterns
Jfyi, I'm doing exactly this (and more) in a platform library; it covers the issues I've encountered during the last 8+ years I've been working with Go highload apps. During this time developing/improving the platform and rolling was a hobby of mine in every company :)

It (will) cover the stuff like "sync the logs"/"wait for ingresses to catch up with the liveness handler"/etc.

https://github.com/utrack/caisson-go/blob/main/caiapp/caiapp...

https://github.com/utrack/caisson-go/tree/main/closer

The docs are sparse and some things aren't covered yet; however I'm planning to do the first release once I'm back from a holiday.

In the end, this will be a meta-platform (carefully crafted building blocks), and a reference platform library, covering a typical k8s/otel/grpc+http infrastructure.

utrack··on Show HN: Mikey – No bot meeting notetaker for Windows
https://github.com/m-bain/whisperX looks promising - I'm hacking away on an always-on transcriber for my notes for later search&recall. It has support for diarization (the speaker detection you're looking for).

I'm currently hacking away on a mix of https://github.com/speaches-ai/speaches + https://github.com/ufal/whisper_streaming though - mostly because my laptop doesn't have a decent GPU, I stream the audio to a home server instead.

But overall it's pretty simple to do after you wrangle the Python dependencies - all you need is a sink for the text files (for example, create a new file for every Teams meeting, but that's another story...)

utrack··on Android's theft protection features
I mean, rubber-hose cryptoanalysis is still the easiest attack vector, but root exploit releases are frequent enough to be a valid concern :)
utrack··on Android's theft protection features
It sounds great, but they could also block the settings' switches in the pull-down drawer first...

As far as I understand, this whole Find My/Remote Lock stuff will stop working when the thief pulls the bar down and activates the Airplane mode. Then all the data is one vulnerability away from being accessed.

This is the case on Google Pixel 8 Pro and it's been there for ages; I assume it's the same for other vendors.

utrack··on Borgo is a statically typed language that compiles to Go
IMHO it's not about the standards in your company, it's more about being able to parse any random library on GitHub etc with your eyeballs.
utrack··on XZ: Repo maintainer Lasse Collin responding on LKML
I won't say it's the worst one (assuming the attacker's private key is not public), just one of the most interesting ones in regards to the social engineering, pressure applied, code hidden in the test files etc.

I would say it's definitely the most interesting one we know about so far :)

utrack··on Reasons to not use your own domain for email
Good idea which will work for most people, however it'll be an issue for dissidents or people moving countries. Those can use some other provider, while everyone else (99%?) can be covered by this solution.

I guess there should be a provision against gov services making it mandatory for people to use the gov provided email.

utrack··on Firefox displayed a pop-up ad for Mozilla VPN over an unrelated page
AFAIR Chrome/Chromium add-ons are unable to block ads and trackers properly - there's a gap between the page load and add-on activation.
utrack··on Gitlab to lay off 7% of staff
Oh, fair enough. Something surgical would be best :)
utrack··on Gitlab to lay off 7% of staff
I'd call it a complex system. It's entirely possible to have a component in a system that may disrupt the whole system in a whole new, unpredictable way. Just like some sort of asymptomatic tumor which breaks the whole body once it metastasizes.
utrack··on Gitlab to lay off 7% of staff
That sounds like proper risk management then? If you don't know what's happening then it makes sense to play safe. The only problem is that those collective layoffs might actually slow economies down and exacerbate the issue at hand...
utrack··on Gitlab to lay off 7% of staff
This thread is about Gitlab, not GitHub. AFAIK Microsoft doesn't own them (I hope).
utrack··on GPSJam: Daily Maps of GPS Interference
It's also pretty much constant around Moscow City complex - at first it teleported you to VKO but later began moving you to SVO.
