I have added a note to the post. Also I am going back and making sure that everything is electrically isolated.

Thank you for the feedback!

This seems like a recipe for spam and crap to end up hosted on my domain.
You can replace `install.sh` in the install script with `uninstall.sh`
Lol yeah I just didn't feel like putting in the time to set anything else up.
Awesome! I didn't know that.

Thanks for sharing that will definitely come in handy!

No worries. I use Notion for a lot of stuff and I just wanted to quickly throw something up on the web just in case it could help someone.

Sorry it is not as accessible but I don't have a blog I own that I can make that kind of design decision on.

Just an ad. Not sure why this is here

China already did this. These are just tariffs for the digital age
Listen to the podcast.
Basically you shouldn’t worry about this legally or practically. The law is robust enough to prevent this from being an issue

I believe he was speaking of Apple push notifications and google cloud messaging

I use Things3 on my iPhone, iPad, and Macbook
Re:Ask HN: Why do you subscribe to newsletters? on Tuesday November 19, 2019 @07:36PM (#21579995)
I agree. In fact, I am a paying subscriber to both Stratechery and Sinocism. There are somethings where I want to be updated regularly and I will pay attention.
Re:Ask HN: Is Headless browsers still a thing now? on Tuesday November 19, 2019 @06:34PM (#21579555)
Yeah. What are you asking? They never stopped being a thing.
This is a really interesting project! It would be interesting to adapt it to old laptops. They are a dime a dozen and if people could donate them then they could serve this same purpose.
This is pretty interesting. I am interested in learning more about serverless so I will be excited when the source code becomes available
That is not the argument being made. It is an argument that having friction in the process to do something that may have dangerous outcomes is sometimes positive.

It is much the same as arguments that there should be gun training required to purchase a firearm. Adding friction to a process sometimes provides positive benefits.

Unfortunately, I think projects like this that make it easy to create onion resources are quite dangerous. The reduction of friction to host material online in a completely anonymous way only enables adverse actions like the sharing of CP or other illegal content. Please look here for a good explaination of friction in this space -> https://stratechery.com/2019/child-sexual-abuse-material-onl...

If it is used by political or marginalized communities, then this project is also not useful. It does not have the support or attention required to enable it to be secure enough like the TOR project does. This application opens up legitimate users to incredible risk.

If I were a dissident, I would take my time and do the research required to set up a system like this in the correct way. This project may give people a sense of false security.

I sure hope their lawsuit is successful this seems like an overreach of the power of the legislature. If the people vote to make a constitutional ammendment then it should be law!

> The Tampa pastor is now a plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging the payments law, which was crafted by Florida’s Republican-controlled legislature and signed by Governor Ron DeSantis, also a Republican. The law came just months after Floridians approved a ballot initiative restoring voting rights to more than 1 million felons who have completed their sentences;

This is unacceptable. Companies that do this stuff should be boycotted.
Re:The China Cultural Clash on Tuesday October 08, 2019 @01:47PM (#21194926)
When a country takes actions that limit our freedom and attack our companies to enforce their values, it is next to impossible not to consider them an "Enemy."

There is not a way to help China deal with their internal questions; it is now a matter of pushing back.

"military-grade encryption" in marketing materials always scares me. Just tell me what the algos are
