Re:Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?
on Monday November 02, 2026 @10:18AM (#50337970)
Because I have to go through it to get to my android TV and Linux machine, until glasshouse it was driving me nuts how poorly designed the LG home app was. I just want to click a button and get the input selector!
The LG G5 stock remote doesn't even have a input button... Or a mute button, But it does have, six apps I never want to use, a AI microphone button that isn't useful, an accessibility button (which wouldn't actually be useful if I needed those features, you have to hold it to get a useful menu, which I am sure is easy for people who have trouble with remotes.
I rebound the accessibility button (located top right, where you expect the input button to be) to trigger home assistant to send an IR signal to open the input menu, disabled the random apps (though I did consider assigning those to inputs) and made the ai microphone button a mute button.
Its a bit silky I need a WebKit vuln and a vibe coded homepage to get the TV to the same UX of 10 years ago, but I got there in the end.
All I want is to select my computer or streaming box and turn it off and on :/

I'm Australian and the only things measured in imperial units is babies (stones? But I think younger parents now use metric, but my parents only know baby weights in stones), beer (pints, but not the same as overseas I think, also it can vary by state), certain types of land units ("acerage" is a common land plot size) and height (feet and inches, for some reason people don't understand it in metric)
These are all customary usage so I'd say we are completely switched over, we couldn't tell you generally what these units look like outside of "how big is a baby" or "how tall is that person" or "is my beer large or small" really.

Wouldn't you just re-encrypt the secrets with a new host key? That's what I usually do (boot once to generate keys, update the secrets, rebuild and switch remotely to the machine)

I do it for small projects with about 10 infrequent users. They would ask me to reset it almost every time anyway.
Though next time I'll probably try oidc if I can find a common provider that isn't a hassle

The crap part is a lot of niche phones got banned because you need to prove it can call triple zero not by default, so it'll be a real pain, and carriers don't really care.

Re:The Twelve-Factor App

I was deploying some dotnet app and it broke because the devs baked a config key into the image that was otherwise unset, which enabled it trying to start a SSL endpoint without a cert, thus breaking the app.

HDR and multidisplay fractional scaling are two things that look better with your eyes that work best on Wayland.
I personally find colour management to work better than x11 lately, but that might not be for everyone.
Re:Guix for Development
on Monday January 26, 2026 @05:20PM (#46772381)
I use nix, but I assume the same goes for guix, you write a package or run it with something that emulates a FHS (like steam-run, don't mind the name) and hope it works.
Writing a package is not as bad as it sounds, nix and guix have very little difference between "package maintainer" and "user" so most users probably can package software. Normally copying something from nixpkgs or similar will get you most the way there.

There is a large gap between public domain and GPL. For starters if Copilot is emitting GPL code for closed source projects... that's copyright infringement.

The best bit though, it will have a CRN on it. This CRN is the same as your drivers license. (at least in qld)
This means using a Drivers License / Proof of Age card is functionaly equivilant.

"Bureau of Meteorology hacked by foreign spies in massive malware attack, report shows"
Clearly someone has an interest in targeting it - who knows if HTTPS would actually mitigate the risks though. Doubt it would hurt and would not be that difficult. It shows the lack of maintaince in BOM that leads to events like this.

Except Montana, and afaik other places, banned forms of nicotine vaping in response to this. Also the general public seems to think it's related to nicotine, not thc.
