yubiox··on Spotify abandons Heardle less than a year after buying it
As long as heardle 80s stays up.
yubiox··on Closing a stale SSH connection
Probably too late to post here but the timing of this article was interesting. I use the ~. on a daily basis because something in the firewall at work was causing my idle ssh connections to hang. But just yesterday morning right before reading this article I added ServerAliveInterval 30 in the client ssh config to see if it would help and guess what, the connections were not stuck today.
yubiox··on Everything advertised on social media is overpriced junk
Once you buy one piece of crap from an ad, don't you learn not to do it again? Are there enough new suckers every day to keep this going forever?
yubiox··on Common Beginner Mistakes with React
I enjoyed the Wes Bos classes. They are not free. https://reactforbeginners.com/
yubiox··on The FBI now recommends using an ad blocker when searching the web
This response is just handwaving and avoids the question. Why even bother?
yubiox··on The FBI now recommends using an ad blocker when searching the web
Can you give any more detail on how you did this? Is squid the proxy? How does it know which traffic is doh? What do you do with those requests?
yubiox··on Mexico's former public security head convicted by U.S. of taking cartel bribes
Allowed? No. Forced.
yubiox··on Launch HN: Neptyne (YC W23) – A programmable spreadsheet that runs Python
I don't really know. Maybe something as simple as using a git remote, I then edit in my editor of choice, commit, push to remote, then pull in the gui to get the latest. I'd rather do all that than have to use a different editor. Just something to think about. Thanks.

Is there an api or cli interface so I don't have to use the web ide?
yubiox··on An AI lawyer was set to argue in court – real lawyers shut it down
LLM means Master of Law degree, kind of an advanced JD used in some specializations like tax. What do you mean here?
yubiox··on The longest ever flight was 64 days in a Cessna 172 (2021)
Inspection at 500. Not tbo.
yubiox··on Mac OS 9
I wanted access to the college mac lab so bad back then, and eventually got in. Something about those little white screens and the feel of those keyboards was so compelling.
yubiox··on I decided to stop working on Mighty
Is there anything like this that I can run myself? My phone does not load some pages well and I would like to browser stream from my own server.
yubiox··on Make your DOM look like an eye that can focus on anything
I wrote an xeyes java applet when java was first released in the 90s.
yubiox··on Google Ad Disguising Itself as www.gimp.org
People still haven't figured out to never click anything in that top ad section in search results?
yubiox··on Show HN: SadServers – Test your Linux troubleshooting skills
Can't get to the first problem because of HN hug but anyway there are fake ways to "solve" it like renaming the logfile (what they test for solved is provided).
yubiox··on We are stuck with egrep and fgrep (unless you like beating people)
what shell does this?
yubiox··on Aleksandr Sorokin smashes 24-hour world record with 198.6 mile run
I want to run but I cough for hours after running. Doc gave me an inhaler but it doesn't do anything. Any ideas? Help!
yubiox··on DuckDuckGo email protection beta now open
You need to put your real address as the from address in replies, not the duck address. DuckDG then strips out the real one and replaces it with the duck one, it seems.
yubiox··on Edible insects role in transmission of parasitic diseases to humans (2019)
it is not clear(I hit return here) how to put newlines(and here) on HN
yubiox··on RavynOS – Finesse of macOS, freedom of FreeBSD
Does it run Better Touch Tool? I use it to resize and move windows with trackpad moves (no click) and modifier keys and also to disable openapple-Q. Does it work well with an apple trackpad?
yubiox··on Tell HN: After 10 years of experiments, custom username emails receive no spam
This is bad timing since this has dropped off the first page of HN but just today I got a scam email to my home loan address cenlar@whatever. So the fools either sold my address or were hacked.
yubiox··on Ask HN: Did Facebook just stop fighting adblockers?
Now please let us remove "People you may know" and "Suggested for you" crap too.
yubiox··on “It’s time for Apple to fix texting”
It seems like apple phones ruin photo and video quality when messaging with android too, even over third party apps like whatsapp and signal. Do they think I will run out and buy an apple phone so this doesn't happen?
yubiox··on Why is it so hard to give Google money?
At first my knee jerk reaction was to be outraged after reading the article. But after reading some comments here I suddenly came to the realization that we are just talking about ads. Who cares. I don't want to see any ads. Most ads are scams anyway. There is no way to know which ones are not scams. Say one in a million ads is something I might actually want. Oh well, I guess I will just miss out. I would never click on those google ads anyway. The more ad accounts being suspended is a good thing. Suspend them all!
yubiox··on Thunderbird 102
I don't really care about icons and I don't use contacts. What would be nice though is to be able to customize things like putting those stars on all unread email instead of just "new" email, whatever that is. The read/unread tiny dot is hard to see especially for the current highlighted message. I've used tbird forever and it is otherwise awesome. Thanks.
yubiox··on Online privacy: to what extent should you try to go dark?
Right, for pure spam, yes. I want to know about my hotel or air reservation but not get their junk email. So I can't go scorched earth on them, but I can't unsub from the junk either due to my tracker dns blackhole.
yubiox··on Online privacy: to what extent should you try to go dark?
Even just basic malware blocking disables a lot of websites. I can't use some air and hotel sites (aa.com, ihg.com for example) anymore, plus unsubscribing from somewhat normal spam is almost impossible because the unsub links have trackers or something.
yubiox··on Texas police want uvalde bodycam footage suppressed
You can watch the hundreds of videos on the PoliceActivity youtube channel showing how terrible "trained police" are at using guns (or doing anything really). Any shooting hobbyist is going to be a better shot than most police officers. My favorite video is the one where the cop empties an entire magazine at a stationary guy 7 feet away and misses every single shot. The one thing cops are really good at though is multiple cops screaming conflicting commands all at the same time. Freeze! Don't move! Hands up! Turn around! Get down on the ground!
yubiox··on K-9 Mail joins the Thunderbird family
Not that you would, but please don't ruin it.
