This is a registry I know of: https://smithery.ai but it's just a listing But any self-hosted npm registry backend (e.g. github npm registry) should serve as a private MCP Server registry?

Doesn't a SIM swap attack impact more than just a single user account of a service? They lose access to SMS and calls from their phone. I'd argue they learn that there's a security issue earlier and cause them to take action

tbf, I was spooked by the initial "turn off your adblocker" banner stuff and I signed up for the offered 3-month YT Premium trial because it's linked to my primary Google account. In the meantime, I set up a throwaway Google

Curious to hear answers to this too. People forget usernames and that alone would lead to drop off. People are also reluctant to give out phone nos. which is anyway a terrible identifier and has the same issues as email.

FWIW it wasn't meant to sound critical of him, his contributions are much loved and his attempt to push to ESM was also in good spirit with his helpful gist on the issues, but ESM was no silver bullet for the wide mix of imported modul

Curious to see how this one decision plays out for nodejs IF - - module authors increasingly adopt ESM - TypeScript experience with Deno is butter smooth - npm packages work with Deno - performance characteristics are similar - DX for begin

Totally agree. It's doubly frustrating because a standard for authoring modules across browser and server platforms such as ESM is a good thing. But it's a bit arrogant to expect module authors across TS and JS ecosystems to ship

The current ESM experience makes it seem like decision-makers in the node.js project were wilfully oblivious to how large the TypeScript community was and how it was being used in node modules and projects. It really does feel like the main

If you're just looking to store API collections locally, an alternative I use is a VS Code plugin called ThunderClient [1]. imho, dev centric tools that care about system resource usage should just integrate with the IDE when possible.

Do you offer wildcard certs for subdomains (i.e. *.news.ycombinator.com)? I believe I had some trouble with caddy's tls internal directive when trying to do something crazy like this. Maybe you could mention it as your differentiator t

This was my worst fear but I had opted-in to backup Authenticator with Google. Opting in to backup your data with Google is seamless and it also restores stuff like SMS messages. But I suppose this is one more thing the anti-trust case agai

I faced this issue last week. I use the other user profile for Android app development. My phone was lying on the table before me as I watched it abruptly reboot to a familiar black screen that prompted me to Try to restart or Factory reset

Question is whether Google Fonts CDN/server was storing the IP address or not. Linking to a user is secondary. If a server does not log or store raw IPs in the first place, where's the fault?

By that logic, Ubuntu performs a connectivity check behind the scenes polling connectivity-check.ubuntu.com every few mins to detect if internet connectivity has been lost. I do not recollect seeing any opt-in Privacy prompt enabling this f

"Disclosing an IP address" maybe a matter of the medium of comms being inadvertently TCP/IP, if MS does not log or store the IP in a meaningful/reversible way, are they processing PII?

Yep. I have a catch-all email address for a domain that forwards all mail to Gmail and that stopped working somewhere in the Jul-Aug timeframe. Had to set up DomainKeys to fix the issue.

This is very useful. I always end up Googling vertical align for flexbox. In a rush, what would help me refresh flexbox knowledge is being able to drag and drop the frog, snapped to a 3x3 grid, and get the flexbox CSS code as output. Still

I was about to suggest this app to a friend travelling to India but quickly backed out after checking the location of the nearest centers. It's a connundrum whether these centers are more useful at/near airports or city centers. I

Wait, what happens to returned packages? Now I'm curious about that too.

Do you have an example? My understanding is that without browsers doing the tweening between visible states, it would require complex DOM manipulation and animation to make it look good. The native API is an essential part of making this ha

The next leg of growth for UPI is already underway with the inclusion of RuPay credit cards under UPI. Until last year, UPI transactions would directly hit your bank account balance and flood your bank statement with many small purchase ent

That traceability of transactions contributes to expansion of the tax net. About ~2% of India's population pays income tax and <12% of the population files tax returns. For the longest time, certain professionals such as doctors run

Unexpected in the sense that at the time of commissioning the project years ago, they did not anticipate this event down the line.

Many companies, institutions, public bodies hire external contractors to do a one-time development of a limited-scope app. I bet a bunch of them have their Google Play Console dev account email read by people in some engineering infrastruct

I shudder to think what happens in another 5 years or so when the min target is bumped. We have an app built with about 6-8 Jetpack Compose libraries that is already flaky (even after using BOM) and only a magic combination of library versi

I believe the chairman of the space agency also used the Prime Minister's mention of future projects to note it as confirmation that those projects will indeed happen i.e. be funded. That was pretty smart at @ 01:07:00 in the video. So

Thanks! I've always compared playing music on YT and playing lossless music in Rhythmbox on Linux and wondered why YT sounds better. Now discovered the ReplayGain toggle in Rhythmbox thanks to your comment.

Wonder if the Taiwanese govt at some point will step in and block these onshoring measures as a matter of national security. If countries are less reliant on manufacturing within Taiwan, its one less reason to stand up to Beijing's one

I wish we could all pool money and buyout politicians in some tiny corner of the globe to pass laws that made all telemetry illegal for any device that entered their geography and allowed hefty fines for even basic data collection.
