News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

And I was thinking it was only me. I also noticed one more thing since last year: At times, my internet speed would feel stalled, so I check if my wireless connection is still ok. I open the wifi connection tray from the right hand corner and I notice that only my SSID is displayed. The moment I hover over my SSID, the other neighboring SSIDs and my other SSIDs(2G, 5G ones to which I am not connected to) appear suddenly. And 8 out of 10 times my speed gets a boost and everything starts working properly.
Can someone tell me why I am seeing a banner on the AWS training site? Is this site genuine? Just want to be careful that's it and understand if its genuine which service is that Amazon has payments issues with :)
Yup exactly my thoughts. Great work though. Would have loved it if it was open sourced, or a blog post explaining how someone could go about doing this on own.
If you don't mind me asking, What data do you store that you think is PII?
Hey great resource. Any chance adding more categories like for the architecture diagrams.. visualparadigm sort of?

Thank you.. Even if I take some USB or If I can connect it to my laptop and start PI up.. I won't be able to show anything to them. Like connecting it to monitor etc. unless I am missing anything?

Hmm.. I am not sure you are right.

It says: When you download Truecaller from Google Play, it NEVER uploads your phonebook to make it searchable or public. Truecaller needs access to certain capabilities to provide you with a richer experience.

I think it does not come from your address book. Rather, it builds the database from each one of us who register with truecaller with thier numbers. So for example: I register with my phone number 123456789, and you register with your phone number 987654321. Both these numbers would be stored on Truecaller's servers and when you get a call from my number 123456789, and even if you don't have my phone number in your phonebook, you still get to see that I am calling you with my name (the details come from the server). You need Wifi/data connection to get truecaller working. That's my understanding , unless I am utterly wrong.

Ask HN: Raspberry Pi on an international flight?

I will be travelling on an international flight form London to India very soon.So I would like to know if someone had any issues taking PI on an international flight and should I keep it in Cabin baggage with me or in the checked in baggage. BTW, I am an Indian. Thank you.

I second that.. If you could provide a screenshot and Curl example it would be great.

Hi,

I know there are other lot of services like this. But I like yours. Its simple and quick. Thank you for your hard work. You planning to keep this as free service?

Ideas:

- Certificate Expiry warning,maybe a month before the expiry day or so.

- URL redirection test etc.

This is cool.. congratulation
