Funnily enough, I've found that the .email TLD is often rejected as an invalid domain when I'm filling out my email address online.

Can I change my local secrets without using the web interface? I see there's a local fallback mode but it's not immediately clear if it's user updatable.

I wonder what would happen if HN banned the submission of insecure links. I bet more than a handful of 'Show HN' posters would take the time to set up letsencrypt (or something similar) in order to post.

Wow, I was not expecting to see functional P2P Matrix so soon. Props to the folks working on it. The hard part of selling Matrix to family and friends who currently use WhatsApp is still the user experience. To be fair Riot has improved sub

Great job! I've not seen python-based keyboard firmware before, I'm impressed that it's fast enough to run something like a keyboard. Without detracting from the code in the post, I recommend that anyone wanting to make and p

Notify17 looks great, and I plan on giving it a go. However, since their example is a curl with plaintext body, I question their assertion that "Whatever your content is, we will never know about it". It sounds to me more like the

Precisely. In their case, they're also trying to host the various communities rather than simply being a tool that anyone can use to run a buy.

Niche hobby communities do this all the time. The mechanical keyboard community wouldn't exist without group buys, they rely on them to hit minimum order quantities from producers of custom keycaps, PCBs, and other manufactured items.

I've stopped coding on my 2012 Macbook Air in favour of my desktop PC for similar reasons. The fact that my ports are shared between Windows and Linux makes the web dev I do a dream. The new Terminal app is great too. I've got all

Back when WSL was first released I tried getting my ruby environment set up using it, but at the time I still used a graphical text editor and getting it talking to the Linux filesystem was too much of a bother. Nowadays I use vim so I gave

Capslock is an Escape key for me because I use Vim a lot. I've heard lots of tmux users map it to Control and then configure tmux to use Ctrl+a as the activation mapping, which sounds very useful too.

This is the sort of thing I'd want to modify the keyboard firmware for. QMK has explicit support for this kind of thing, for example: https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_advanced_keycodes?id=mod-tap

Good read! If folks are interested in getting deeper into keyboard hacking I highly recommend looking into a board that supports [QMK]( https://qmk.fm/ ), which is a very hackable set firmware that works across a bunch of boa
