News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Trust but verify. Just wanted to add that in my opinion it is best practice to schedule a recurrent task for scanning the network using tools like nmap.

On top, add.

After done (re)configuring a (new)device on you network, scan and document baseline. Verify baseline recurrently.

#ModernCropCircles If you understand why the pilot did this, you understand why “aliens” make crop circles?
Re:Ask HN: Has anyone else just gotten bored of the Internet? on Tuesday November 10, 2020 @04:54PM (#25052510)
Mmh what do I know. But think the most important part is, that you think it is a signal for depression. So maybe look into why you think that. Being bored about something could be a good thing, so maybe there is nothing wrong.

Maybe wrong expectation? Why should the “internet” be exciting?

I am on the internet +20years. And I only spend ~40min om two websites a day. (Hackernews included). The rest of the time I spent building the “internet” (personal websites and solutions).

The internet should/could be an extension of the exciting things you do. Not the other way around if you ask me. The internet is boring, it is a tool.

Tech is moving behind the scenes. Stop thinking tech first. Maybe you still thinking in the “old” ways or being distracted by those who live in the past.

Maybe that is creating an disconnect for you?

Tech should follow, not lead.

I do not know you. But maybe accept tech is part of the world now, and is not something set aside for us techies. So I think you can fall back to standard wisdoms.

Be the change you want to see in life. And you cannot rush time, so don’t expect your vision to become reality in your life.

I stepped out of tech two years ago. But to be hones I stepped out being “a microsoft employee” while not working for microsoft.

And guess what. I now doing more tech than ever. Unless society collapses - tech skill will keep on earning bread so think twice before leaving your skills behind. Just do it your way an * the rest. :)

Get yourself a lifetime domain name. And connect that to a email service. And do regular backups of your mails in a structured way.

Email hoster misbehaving. Just switch mail provider, keep mail adres, restore mail. And live a happy life?

Sometimes depends if you come from a search engine or direct link and or browsing private.

The old reddit still shows all comments. Just change your url from reddit.com/r/... To old.reddit.com/r/...

Don’t tell nobody though.

Re:Ask HN: Should Google remove medium.com from search results? on Sunday September 27, 2020 @11:16AM (#24607252)
Im in Europe. And I must add, after reading more comments, I always browse private mode, and open new tab for every link that I visit.

So could also be workflow related maybe. Or combi of both?

Maybe share a medium with “upgrade” link that I can visit and compare end-results?

Re:Ask HN: Should Google remove medium.com from search results? on Sunday September 27, 2020 @07:30AM (#24605851)
Interesting - i’ve read a lot of medium articles over the years on a daily basis, and not once it ever gave me an “upgrade” button.

Maybe the writer can decide if it the article is free to use? I don’t know - but from my experience Medium is one of the more “open” platforms without any restrictions for the reader.

Strange our experiences are so different.

“For me it feels like I hit a point at which there is no more work to be wrung out of me, no matter how long I sit in a chair.”

This sentence made me laugh a little bit to hard. I know where you are coming from.

Don’t forget to do a small weird dance every hour or so. To move those muscles and the keep blood flowing to all corners of body.

Re:Shortest Domain on Saturday June 20, 2020 @07:04PM (#23588187)
Yeah ok - thanks. Just not used to it I guess.

Why is this not used more? Bad UX? Internet Etiquette? Some Sec. reason? Just thinking out loud.

Thnx for the hint. Kinda makes sense.

Edit: after your hint. Started some investigation. It is time to get me a personal TLD so I also can have a TLD-less domain. :p
