What you say makes sense, In any case, I am glad WhatsApp founder put some money into Signal, he's done an amazing job and deserves all the money. I am from another side of messagers, as Viber concured Easter Europe - Telegram seemed

Here is what puzzles me every time about telegram (which is my primary messager so far) I can get the reasons behind not doing e2e encryption by default to reach more audience (msgs history, lack of resources on start, special backups) What

TL;DR A TG server was sending a "salt" to clients in order to randomize keys (telegram claim) when in fact the "salt" turned out useless in terms of encryption and the only reasonable explanation for the "nonce&quot

what was the main reason that made you built it? Did you want to have a QR code generator that works locally on a mac?

I really love what you are doing guys. Self-hosted option with SaaS model as an alternative - sweet, perfect pricing balance. I don't know about others but I am really tired of settings up auth over and over again for over 8 years alre

Sure, Dell XPS is an outstanding laptop, I've not found yet better laptop if you don't like macs However, Dell is not going to be my next machine because: - dev edition is hard to get (at least for me) and regular version does not

Completely agree with all your points here, even though I bought a 2020 pro (big sur is badass). However, every time I read comments like that I feel like someone from the System76 is monitoring HN and posting evil marketing comments :D PS.

yep, wearable, like a ring would be a clincher. I really like Yubico and fingerpring scanner is an awesome idea, would be really happy to bring my fingerprint instead of relying on laptops. On the other hand, a wearable would be a whole new

Almost exactly what I thought, however specs are too low for me to ditch the bar no matter how useless it is comparing to physical keys

This is an awesome idea, I really love the writing and products presented (TLDR; SimpleAnalytics, BunnyCDN, Intergram). Good luck with LMA, this is an awesome product IMO, the "cookies banner" does not help to make internet safer,

I've tried it in the NextCloud and it's pretty usable. Of course formatting can be off if you need some advanced staff, but for basic formatting it's a pretty good alternative for Google Docs. As a 2 years Linux user in a pas

Architecture switch is not a question whether Apple can do it, I am pretty sure they are capable of releasing it asap. Think about all software that have to migrated, it’s not just re-compile and release button click

it looks very interesting, I came around purism a couple of times but never got to hardware switchers section, very nice. Is there anyone who has any experience with puri.sm?

arm released is not going to happen in the next 2 years, IMO mpro 16" is going to get better and it is good enough to switch to it permanently. I was testing a few mpros before purchasing one

I would put an asterisk near battery life as a downside, after switching to mpro 2020 13 realized that I overlooked batter life which is 7h at max, 5h if working aggressively (docker, builds), very disappointing. Macs always were laptops wi

Smart, what about using words (like a password phrase) instead of a hash? You can schedule title of the upcoming tweet, so people can like it and "subscribe" to notifications

Perfect timing, was just about to start migration. My plan so far: - Gmail -> Fastmail + custom domain - GDrive -> Nextcloud + openoffice (it's really nice, includes notes and libreoffice) - Chrome -> Firefox (FF made a tremen

I can confirm, internet in Ukraine (top 5) is super cheap, most people don't even realize how inexpensive it is comparing to other countries. Mobile traffic is so cheap that it gets very inconvenient to keep your internet habits when y

Yep, I saw that, the feature I was trying to describe is a popup on a username that gives you a list of all accounts tied to this domain, which is quite handy. In Bitwarden I have to either right click or copy/paste from the extension.

by tarasmatsyk 6y ago
how is your experience in a browser? I honestly tried to use Bitwarden, paid for premium for one time key feature and browser extensions comparing to 1pass are much less convenient. For instance, an ability to manage multiple website (e.g.

The article seems to be too obvious, maybe I am missing some bits of info here. After I read "why we sleep" all these: "sleep faster", "you need 8 hours", "I wake up at 4am" seems ridiculous to me. It

Always enjoy a good read, thank you Steve! Also, this thread has some gems too, glad I found it.

It looks nice, however it feels like I am running one more browser, am I wrong here? I really like Thunderbird and that one of options for mail clients if I am on linux, however another electron app is a no-go for me.

just curious, what do you use to host email and calendar?

Hard to pick between Skype and buggy apple mail client that splits my screen every few minutes just to fetch new emails (super annoying)

Sums up my experience pretty well. Here is an old joke about Linux which I remember every time I need to fix by Bluetooth or WiFi: "In Linux, you can configure everything. And you will be configuring everything" Despite all the &q

I’ve been using Delphi before and it looks like a grown/better Pascal. C# is a c-family language which seems weird right after the switch, however you start appreciate C syntax a bit later. I think C# was an attempt to design MS Java w

by tarasmatsyk 6y ago
I still think C# is one of, if not the best of designed languages exist. Even it moves in much smaller steps than it was before I think it's for good. I left .NET land at 6.0 and .NET 4.x versions mostly because of Windows eco-system (

I stumbled across "we hire" messages across Paypal, Techcrunch, and dozen of other websites, even no-name startups. You can find them in headers, CSS, HTML, JS and all over different places. The thing is: the message neither chang
