Although it is kind of fiddly and needs refreshing a few times.

Was it by any chance a redirect to 'validate.perfdrive' something or other that then just fails? Freaked me out as it reminded me of the behaviour of those weird search hijackers I haven't seen in a good while.
Re:Tell HN: OpenAI removed all my ChatGPT history without telling me

I really hope so. It's lost my history before but only for a minute or two and I always attributed it to my browser chugging with too many tabs open. At this point I'm just going to wait and see :/

Just automate the watching process too, and get ChatGPT to summarise the content. Even better if you can let it watch with you, give it feedback, and tune it over time so it can make a value call on shows and save you the effort - "yeah I watched that, so you don't have to, you'll hate it".
(/s, but I imagine it won't be in a year or two or with a skilled coder).

Re:Tell HN: Reddit accounts cancellation/suspension caused by VPN usage
on Tuesday February 15, 2022 @12:16PM (#30349403)
There must be more to it than that. I use PIA VPN on reddit all the time (for at least the last 5 years or so), from various european endpoints, and I'm still fine there. I'm not shadowbanned as people do reply to my comments. The account is a decade old though so I assume that they factor account age into it as well.
I've also resolutely ignored the email verification pop up for years so I'm kind of surprised I'm still on it.

Re:The human tendency to over-water plants
on Sunday October 03, 2021 @09:04PM (#28741956)
I give mine a pint of water every week or two. If it wilts I water it regardless. It's been happy in a bright room near a sunny window in the UK for 10 years. Current pot is around 10" diam and 10" high for comparison.
If ever in doubt I let it tell me - it's all about the wilting, if it starts to wilt, give it water, if it's not wilting, you can wait, if you haven't seen it wilt for a while, might as well let it dry some more to avoid root rot. I also trim off dead flowers and leaves just to give the other leaves more light but I don't think that matters.

Re:Google .dev domain early access
on Saturday February 16, 2019 @10:59PM (#19182603)
I've had .dev domains for years. (Internally with Apache, virtual hosts IIRC?)
It seemed like the obvious choice of suffix for my localhost experiments, and I can't be the only person using it (e.g. https://headsigned.com/posts/setting-up-local-development-do...), will this new TLD break that?
I suppose I can always edit my hosts file but if I didn't know a new TLD was dropping would it screw me silently?

Re:Tesla's $2.6B Musk Award Too Costly, Glass Lewis Says

Maybe some people are infinitely incentivizable, because they can always figure out a way to do something useful with the money.
Bill Gates for instance, although his model seems to be give it all away to good causes he believes can accomplish good. Elon still seems to believe more in his own capabilities to accomplish worthwhile things with it.
I expect he too has a little txt file somewhere on his desktop, with various amounts as milestones to unlock the next project.
Maybe at $22 billion he can afford to start asteroid mining and in orbit construction or something that would top his current accomplishments.
