wan_ala··on Saudi Arabia sentences tribesmen to death for resisting displacement
Not liking Israel isn't anti semetic. Its anti zionist. There are many jewish people who don't like israel either.
wan_ala··on Mastodon.technology Shutdown
Thanks, I have never heard of that!
wan_ala··on Mastodon.technology Shutdown
Honestly I think some big issues are that not everyone has a fast machine thats going to be up all the time to host the instance. It would be cool to implement something like BitTorrent but for websites.
wan_ala··on Ask HN: What did Linux not do right?
I'd make it a microkernel, not monolithic. This would solve the problem of the Linux kernel being bloated, thus making it easier to maintain.
wan_ala··on Microsoft bakes a VPN into Edge and turns it on
I think the only good reasons to use VPNs are for torrenting and accessing movies only available in other countries. For any privacy reasons its best to use Tor.
wan_ala··on A beginners guide to Esperanto (2003)
There is also toki pona which was made more recently. I think one of the differences between it and esperanto is that Toki Pona takes a lot less time to learn (it took me a few months).
wan_ala··on Instagram permanently disables Pornhub account
As if Pornhub videos are produced ethically.

wan_ala··on Users reporting artifacts appearing in old images stored in Google Photos
But with nfts don't you legally own them?
wan_ala··on Users reporting artifacts appearing in old images stored in Google Photos
How does it work exactly? This sounds pretty cool
wan_ala··on Users reporting artifacts appearing in old images stored in Google Photos
Burn everything important onto some old CDs or DVDs, that should be good enough. Filecoin seems cool too, but you have to pay in filecoin.
wan_ala··on As unrest grows, Iran restricts access to Instagram, WhatsApp
Or content based addressing, so that there isn't any network traffic to censor in the first place.
wan_ala··on Software I’m thankful for (2021)
I didn't know that, thanks! I wonder why i haven't seen this for BASH considering its probably the most common shell other than Command Prompt.
wan_ala··on Map of Tor Exit Nodes
Like the map! Although it would be better if the shape of the land was more accurate, and included islands.
wan_ala··on Software I’m thankful for (2021)
Suprised no one mentioned SHA256. I know there's not a official SHA256 implementation but i guess any implementation (except OpenSSL) is good.

Left out OpenSSL because of poor docs and a small amount of developers. Last I had seen it was like 2 or so.

wan_ala··on Software I’m thankful for (2021)
I use fish as my main shell and haven't seen anyone else that has. Honestly its really good, the autocomplete feature is my favorite.
wan_ala··on List of most expensive video games to develop
Why would ET cost that much money?
wan_ala··on Ask HN: What is the most interesting software you've made/developed?
Sorry for not wording correctly. I guess unique or fascinating might be the correct word?
wan_ala··on Ask HN: Do you browse the web with JavaScript disabled?
Lots of people who want to protect their security do. I usually do unless a site won't work without it, the site is open source and I really want to see it.

The source code paste seems to be down. Are there any other copies available?

Cool to see Revanced and hmm on there! Revanced makes lots of sense due to recent news ;)
wan_ala··on ‘GIFs are cringe’: how Giphy’s multimillion-dollar business fell out of fashion
Yeah i have never heard that before, there is no way that's true
wan_ala··on Ask HN: What interesting problems are you working on?
Currently I am working on a minimalist and hackable shell with a pretty enviroment. The code is kind of a mess right now and i am working on a bunch of other stuff, but hopefully i finish it soon.

wan_ala··on Coffee with Brian Kernighan [video]
Interesting to hear that he uses Python. I am a C elitist but with Python there is so much less code to write and debug.
wan_ala··on Ask HN: How do you find the weird parts of the web?
I like looking at neocities. You can find some weird shit in links on message boards.
