Re:Show HN: I've built a words game based on binary search on Thursday July 16, 2026 @12:17PM (#48936574)
Just played a round, the app claims my play was the 100,000th. I find that hard to believe :)

Re:How random are TOTP codes? on Friday July 05, 2024 @03:57PM (#40885510)
I remember getting a GABEN code from Steam 2FA. Was 100% sure it was not random
Re:The fun factor of the video game Uplink on Saturday October 28, 2023 @07:36AM (#38049020)
I especially enjoyed how relatively open Uplink was. Putting other hackers behind bars through International Crime Database, stealing millions of dollars from an account where a "trace a huge payment" contract ended up - things like these shaped up my love for open world games, and immersive sims alike.

Not GP, but https://github.com/timvisee/prs seems to fit the bill.

https://github.com/ellie/atuin is a TUI with the added option of syncing history between shells and machines.
Re:MagicDNS is Generally Available on Thursday October 20, 2022 @05:02PM (#33280647)
My tailnet is set up using a GitHub organization, without using Google at all. I have sufficient security (2FA with security keys, etc.) enforced for it. I think that hand-rolling their own auth would not be a great idea just yet, while they are still ironing out other features.
23% faster with BR as well. 528 vs 419 WPM. Made a point about feeling comfortable while reading.
Re:New(ish) command line tools on Wednesday April 13, 2022 @03:51AM (#31012164)
You can use Nix (https://nixos.org/nix) to install these tools on any Mac/Linux machine (nix profile install nixpkgs#{bat, delta}). Disclaimer: I packaged some of these tools for Nix :)
Re:WireGuard multihop available in the Mullvad app on Tuesday April 12, 2022 @01:29PM (#31005723)
Seems similar to ProtonVPN's Secure Core, but using Wireguard directly. Nice.

Optional weekly gaming nights in Mario Kart.

Try Organic Maps - offline-first OpenStreetMap app. It's really good!
Re:Ask HN: Easiest way to build a CRUD app? on Sunday February 13, 2022 @07:09AM (#30321183)
I would go for Ruby on Rails, or a more modern Phoenix Framework (Elixir). With Phoenix you can also use Phoenix LiveView to avoid writing JavaScript. Very stable, scalable and low-hassle once you deploy.

That's about searching, not unlocking the vault.

Re:Refinery: SQL Migration Toolkit for Rust on Tuesday December 10, 2019 @09:27AM (#21752699)
This, together with Barrel, looks like a cleaner alternative to Diesel for me.
