For me, I had to keep copying a text file of terminal output off a machine I didn’t have keys or SSH agent forwarding on, but I did have a scp binary. I made https://scpbin.com — a fun little hack, for a very niche usecase :)

Yeah, for sure. But I can't build houses (to the scale required), I can only build tech :) Obviously this would 100% be a problem better solved by government. But I don't see any evidence that they're planning to do that, so

Hey, thanks for the reply! Yeah, absolutely -- with hindsight, the phrasing that I used was far too negative. I suspect I need to go with something very carefully phrased around "helping give back", rather than "you're a

I moved to Lisbon in 2020, and I've become increasingly aware of the impact that high-income remote-worker immigrants like me are having on the city, and other similar places. I've been thinking of building something to try and he

Yeah, I phased out the blog a year or so back, hence why it's not on http://bieh.net any more. I wish I'd worked a bit harder not to break the links now :)

I'm the guy who built the original XKCD-inspired bot -- the original blog post is still around at http://bieh.net/wordpress/2010/11/08/xkcd-576/ , though the images have since broken. Possibly the web service you mean is http://www.eachda

Yeah, more information is coming. It'll be ready for the HN Who's Hiring thread in a few days -- I just saw this story pop up so I figured I'd link it in here too even though most of the site is still a placeholder. Oh, and we're open to ne

Hey, thanks! I just finished up six months in Thailand as a freelance dev myself, though in Bangkok mostly rather than an island. Seychelles is a nice change of pace :) A few months back in civilization per year is probably a good idea. I'l

The internet is unbearably slow for the next two weeks until the fiber to the mainland[1] comes online -- right now there's a 600ms satellite link, which is no fun. At the moment I've only got about 2-3mbit (though at least there's no data

If anyone doesn't want to wait for this to get started to come hack on a tropical island, we're[1] hiring iOS/Android developers to come work on Mahe, Seychelles [2]. Flights on us, bonus points if you can start ASAP! [1] http://blackgrani

Hey, I'm also trying to hire coders to work on a remote tropical island [1], although for a little longer term than you. Where is this located? I can recommend some places in the Seychelles if you haven't yet decided on a spot :) [1] http:

Good questions! 1) 20mb cap at the moment - typically ebooks are small though, <1mb. If I start running out of space on the machine I'll re-evaluate that - for reference, there's about 11gb used at the moment, with around 20k books tota

At some point soon I'm adding a 'follow other users public lists' feature, hence the nickname. And yeah, you have to login just after you register, perhaps I should change that. You only have to do it once, though.

You can use OPDS ( http://opds-spec.org/ ) to sync with iOS - Stanza works pretty well, although not so well on iOS5. Shubook works okay to read with on iOS5, though it's not the best. There's a few other pay apps too that should work (gene

Aw, what's wrong with the logo? It was the only bit of the design I did myself :) (the rest is based off Transdmin - https://github.com/zapnap/transdmin )

It's pretty rough, I hacked it together over dinner last night, then haphazardly bolted on a few more things this morning. I'm amazed it works as well as it does. Shoot me an email if you want the code regardless though - paul [at] bieh.net

Hmm, they're supposed to be down the bottom of the page in the footer. Perhaps it doesn't render correctly in older Firefox, I'll have a look at it.
