Re:Show HN: ShadowCat – file transfer through QR Codes in a Browser

It's working for me now! Multiple QR codes at once is kinda wild.

This looks like a nice polished implementation of the idea, but when I try and use it, I get to "file complete" but then.. nothing? And I see no way to report a problem or bug.

This is just parity with google wallet, right? AFAICT my library card in google wallet is just a generic card/pass type.

The geocoding needs some work. There are 4 companies indicated as being located in Richmond, Virginia. At least two of them are clearly in Richmond, California. I suspect all of them are in CA.

Why did you build this with a server? Since you suggest folks introspect the script anyway, you could simply generate it in the browser and have the user download it. Then you could run this at zero-cost.

without a means to update the map, this isn't a breakthrough. I'd rather use protomaps[0](which has regular builds, from a better-known source) with caddy.

Yeah, the github repo is a much better link for this, as it explains what it is. https://github.com/alexlenail/NN-SVG
Re:Show HN: Detoxer – Neutralize Addictive Content Without Blocking
on Monday November 20, 2023 @11:39AM (#38350225)
You can actually setup ublock0 to do this for you too. At one point I'd used it to blur distracting sites, but like you, I found fully blocking the content(which the blurring effectively did) led to me disabling the block. I'll try this technique out, it's a good idea.
Here's how you can do it with ublock:
www.reddit.com##img:style(filter: blur(10px);)
www.reddit.com##body:style(filter: grayscale(1);)

I suspect OP conflated "I am reporting malware in a package on npmjs.com" with "I have discovered a bug or vulnerability in a package on npmjs.com." The later shows what they report[0] whereas the former does allow for a report to be made.

While they're alone in a car, sure. But as soon as they're around folks with iPhones, they're tracked just fine and will never get the notifications the husband in the article got.

You should consider making this into a browser extension. For this kind of script it's rather easy and is way easier for users to install. For an example with a very similar configuration (array of strings) that is a configurable extension instead, checkout my WaPo Metal Taglines greasemonkey script[0] and extension[1]

That was my first thought when I just saw "sidewalks" & "crosswalks" too. But AFAIK OSM doesn't have anything remotely like that level of sidewalk shape data. And while stairs on paths are mapped, I don't think outdoor building stairs are mapped.
