My phone is safer in my custody - it doesn't matter who I am giving it to, including YC founders/staff. Giving my phone to other people, regardless of who those people are, is an extraneous risk when compared to having it in my po

Hey - we're not going to see eye to eye on this one. Respectfully, I'm not going to to respond further. Cheers.

This. I'd rather my vehicle was stolen vs or damaged vs getting digitally compromised. The damage someone could cause with my phone vs. stealing my car is vastly different.

by peterangular 3y ago
Sure, but I think it's a bad faith argument to draw a comparison between such vastly different situations. Is my car my phone? No, no it is not.

Yes.

I see you're getting downvoted (gray comment) but I'll jump aboard the unpopular opinion here: There is exactly zero chance I'd be leaving my device with these people. Trusting your phone to strangers when you can just silenc

I'd like to point out that this comment is an assumption and isn't backed by any hard data. Anecdotally, I'm a hobbyist and I've had to use higher price tiers throughout my entire time with Linode. The low-end VPS instan

Yep - I just migrated my gaming server to Hetzner a few weeks back. With this increase in price I'll be pushed to migrate my other self-hosted services there as well. End of an era for me - I've been with Linode for over a decade

Yeah - 100%. I have pulled this off successfully with some crazy household names in tech. I really value some of those random emails - I go back and read them from time to time. People are often really chill and kind about answering questio

Needed a solution that I could use on all devices easily - browser, shell, phone... basically anywhere I need a password. KeePass isn't distributed by nature, relying on a filesystem DB - this worked for me for _years_ and is a fine sy

Another anecdote... People think my dad was nuts for letting me drink a beer here or there growing up. It was always in moderation. Typically only one drink, maybe two spread out over lots of time if we were fishing. He talked openly ab

I moved to Bitwarden from KeePass and haven't looked back. The UIX of Bitwarden can be a bit meh at times but it's also boring, predictable, and solid. I'm just saying this as someone who hates save buttons in the upper-right

Respectfully, I disagree. In America, car culture is strongly correlated with identity. Ford said "They can have any color as long as it's black." His competitors capitalized on this mistake - people wanted colored cars. Sinc

Yeah - agree on this. In my anecdotal experience, Tesla owners typically are educated professionals who are well established in their career and/or finances. They're also 90% homeowners because of the charging logistics (charger i

Alpine.js has been a wonderful new tool in my arsenal. I prefer lightweight tools that solve big problems while still staying small/simple. Alpine.js really hits that balance for me. The fact I'm able to drop it in without a singl

Not the person you're responding to but I've done a fair bit of contracting, although in the US. A perfect example is scope creep, which happens with all sorts of clients. And, as much as we all hate it as devs it's just the

Yep - VPS tunneling usually through nginx is how I get around it for my use cases. Cheers on the co-op ISP - that's outstanding and I wish more places did that. In so many ways that's living the dream!

50mm fixed is a mainstay for many, many photographers - even professionals. When I started shooting all of my teachers/mentors pushed me to get a fast 50mm as a first lens due to the versatility and affordability. If you're doing

Yep - best practice is to always tunnel, or reverse proxy out on a random port if you're self-hosting anything . Have had many providers over the years and have anecdotally found that experience to be very true.

Not only that - the conservatives turned the bushfires into political theater, only stoking the polarization that's ripping this country apart.
