What is BAR?
Over 300 EUR and a subscription on top of that?!
I can recommend Aegis Authenticator - https://getaegis.app/

It has an option for encrypted, automated backups to Google or Nextcloud.

Re:Our team's troubles writing automated UI tests on Saturday August 31, 2019 @03:47PM (#20848418)
I used to have troubles with UI tests too, but then I discovered Cypress (https://www.cypress.io/). You can still run into an issue once in a while, but it's way better than anything else and it's getting even better with each release.
I'm a software developer.
Yes. I've escaped from Dublin to Dungarvan, Ireland almost a year ago. In Dublin, I had to pay 1k euro for a room in a shared apartment, in Dungarvan I have 3 bedroom house for 800 (it was hard to find something smaller). Also switched full-time corporate job to part-time remote so I could spend more time hiking in the beautiful Irish countryside and cooking. I ended up with smaller numbers on my account but much more happy and I can really recommend it.
Re:Blockers to IPv6 Adoption on Tuesday June 19, 2018 @01:58PM (#17348893)
I used default mirrors and I didn't file a report because I'm not sure where and which part of the system is to blame. All IPv6 traffic was slow. This question is from 2 years ago so I assumed it's a known issue.
Re:Blockers to IPv6 Adoption on Tuesday June 19, 2018 @01:54PM (#17348846)
All IPv6 traffic. Checking out from bitbucket took 6 minutes instead of 10 seconds.
Re:Blockers to IPv6 Adoption on Tuesday June 19, 2018 @04:59AM (#17344881)
I've enabled ipv6 on my ubuntu server recently and it was 100x slower. The only solution I found is to go back to ipv4: https://askubuntu.com/questions/759524/problem-with-ipv6-sud...
Re:Essential Image Optimization on Saturday December 16, 2017 @07:57AM (#15939341)
I use the ngx_pagespeed module for Nginx for automatic image optimization. It's really good and easy to install: https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed

I describe the whole setup step by step on my blog: https://blog.tjl.rocks/cheap-secure-and-fast-ghost-blog-set-...

Re:Dell’s gamble on Linux laptops has paid off on Thursday November 16, 2017 @11:56AM (#15714232)
Same in Ireland. You can't buy Dell Linux laptops anymore.
There is wiki page with that info: https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki... looks like it's not stable yet.
Re:150 days of living and coding in a van on Tuesday October 10, 2017 @05:58AM (#15440601)
Great blog. I plan to do the same with my wife in near future, but we want to buy a new campervan to have better fuel economy and emission standards. I would love to read more about places where you stop. How do you decide on that? Are they free/paid? Is it easy to get rid of waste and fill in fresh water? How long do you stay in one place?
Re:Ask HN: Which games are you playing in free time? on Monday May 29, 2017 @01:31PM (#14440246)

Re:How to never complete anything on Friday March 10, 2017 @10:09AM (#13839117)
When I was working on a game, we created a Patreon and promised new demo to backers every month. It's very motivating - you have clear deadline, money and feedback.
Django (with REST framework and Postgres) + Angular 2 works best for me
