wasmitnetzen··on More than 135 open hardware devices flashable with your own firmware
There's a paginated list on the front page for me. Maybe already fixed?
wasmitnetzen··on SSH has no Host header
I would say it's best practice to use a key agent backed by a password manager.
wasmitnetzen··on Silicon Valley's "Pronatalists" Killed WFH. The Strait of Hormuz Brought It Back
You should really try to write abbreviations in full the first time they're used. I have no idea what CEE, FDI and GCC mean.
wasmitnetzen··on Source code of Swedish e-government services has been leaked
Swedish news has some quotes from authorities that nothing of value has been leaked, and a quote from the service CGI that it only concerns test servers.[1][2]

wasmitnetzen··on Don't post generated/AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans.
Luckly, something with the English language makes it that especially native speakers quite often have atrocious grammar: They're - their - there mistakes, who/m, the list goes on.

Funnily enough, I've noticed myself getting worse with they're/their the more is use English (which is my third language).

wasmitnetzen··on Don't post generated/AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans.
We will just have to fucking swear all the time. The corporate-speak LLM won't do that.
wasmitnetzen··on This time is different
Well, yeah, "keeping alive" sounds like caring to me. Not to a great standard, that's how we got numerous revolutions, and feudalism did end eventually. People stopped believing it, and some kings lost their heads.
wasmitnetzen··on Tell HN: MitID, Denmark's digital ID, was down
There is technically a second provider, Freja, but that is basically only supported by government agencies, and even that is spotty.

There are talks about a state-provided one coming soon, because of EU E-ID laws.

wasmitnetzen··on This time is different
Life, uuuuh, finds a way.

This ignores that the forces of capitalism, the labor market, value, etc are all made up. They work because people (are made to) believe in them. As soon as people stop believing in them, everything will fall apart. The whole point of an economy is to care for people. It will adapt to continue doing that. Yes, the changeover period might be extremely painful for a lot of people.

wasmitnetzen··on Thinking hard burns almost no calories but destroys your next workout
I'm not arguing that your body burns that much energy, that follows from the first law of thermodynamics.

But whether that means that your body will have a calorie deficit of that same amount, that is much harder to prove.

wasmitnetzen··on Thinking hard burns almost no calories but destroys your next workout
How can you know this "as a matter of fact"? Because your not-a-healthcare-device sportswatch tells you so?
wasmitnetzen··on When internal hostnames are leaked to the clown
I've blown fairly competent colleagues' minds multiple times by showing them the existence of certificate transparency logs. They were very much under the impression that hostnames can be kept secret as a protection against external infrastructure mapping.
wasmitnetzen··on FOSDEM 2026 – Open-Source Conference in Brussels – Day#1 Recap
Your reading of "politics" seems quite narrow. Creating a place free of social status, hierarchies and with equal opportunity? That's 100% politics.
wasmitnetzen··on Vibe coding kills open source
Because I will probably ask the AI for a rock instead of a bespoke hammer. If I even know what a nail is.

I very much like to use the years of debugging and innovation others spent on that very same problem that I'm having.

wasmitnetzen··on Spanish track was fractured before high-speed train disaster, report finds
There was a switchover which made the derailed cars of the first train move into the track of the second one, you can't have a wall there anyway.
wasmitnetzen··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
That has nothing to do with the EU, it's just capitalism. Even if the EU wouldn't exist, the energy companies would have found a way to sell the cheap Swedish hydropower to Germany.
wasmitnetzen··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
Trustworthiness. You know a GmbH has at least 25000€ you can sue them for. And a UG has to put parts of their profits into becoming a GmbH, so eventually everyone big enough is a GmbH.
wasmitnetzen··on CLI agents make self-hosting on a home server easier and fun
Conversely, what do you gain by using a standard port?

Now, I do agree a non-standard port is not a security tool, but it doesn't hurt running a random high-number port.

wasmitnetzen··on London–Calcutta bus service
The template references a site which uses the Retail Price Index[1] (even though it says it uses the Consumer Price Index?), Bank of England uses the Consumer Price Index. Over such a long period a difference of 30% doesn't seem that much.

wasmitnetzen··on Kidnapped by Deutsche Bahn
Note that DB definitely has processes to add stops ad-hoc. It's just that nobody bothered in this case.
wasmitnetzen··on Kidnapped by Deutsche Bahn
Cheap strawman. Travelling Swedes, Danes, Finns and Poles will be fine with English, Dutch with either/both English or German.
wasmitnetzen··on GotaTun – Mullvad's WireGuard Implementation in Rust
The github repo is linked in the post which has build instructions: https://github.com/mullvad/gotatun
wasmitnetzen··on I got hacked: My Hetzner server started mining Monero
Rootless exists in Docker, yes, but as OP said, it's not first-class. The setup process is clunky, things break more often. In podman it just works, and podman is leading with features like quadlets, which make docker services just services like any other.
wasmitnetzen··on MinIO is now in maintenance-mode
S3 is a widely supported API schema, so if you need something on-prem, you use these.
wasmitnetzen··on Accepting US car standards would risk European lives
I'm not sure the type of person who imports such a vehicle would have the appropriate amount of foresight to let such a law affect their behaviour.
wasmitnetzen··on Unix v4 Tape Found
And the admin should probably use the automatic setting. There is a feature request for a user preference when not logged in.[1]

wasmitnetzen··on A startup’s quest to store electricity in the ocean
There are floating platforms as well if the water is too deep for stilts.
wasmitnetzen··on EuroLLM: LLM made in Europe built to support all 24 official EU languages
Sounds like it does not favour mega-corporations at least then? That sounds like a desirable outcome to me.
wasmitnetzen··on EuroLLM: LLM made in Europe built to support all 24 official EU languages
The line between a language and a dialect is far too murky for this rule to be of any use.
wasmitnetzen··on KDE Connect: Enabling communication between all your devices
It works fine for me, and has been for at least 2 years, between any subset of 2 laptops (KDE, WiFi), one desktop (KDE, LAN), and two Androids (WiFi). They're all on the same subnet though.
