Re:Retiring Test-Ipv6.com on Monday October 06, 2025 @03:56AM (#45488782)
A Virgin Media door to door salesman called a few months ago, trying to get me to switch. I asked if they supported IPv6 yet and he said “yes we do! and Netflix and Apple TV!”.
Re:Ask HN: Which RSS reader do you use? on Saturday January 18, 2025 @06:18AM (#42747568)
I use NetNewsWire on iOS / iPadOS, as a front end to a self hosted instance of FreshRSS. I host FreshRSS using docker on an old Raspberry Pi.
This looks brilliant. Happy to say I’ve just received the shipping notification. Can’t wait to try it out!

Worth noting that something heavy enough to trigger the seat occupancy sensor can still do you a lot of damage as it flies around the inside of a car in a crash. I put the seatbelt on around boxes and bags if they're on the seat.
Re:Ask HN: How do you manage photos, philosophically? on Wednesday September 27, 2023 @07:24AM (#37673077)
Thanks for the pointer to icloudpd[1]! Looks very useful. Do you actually run it on your Synology?

I've enabled the "Download originals to this Mac..." option in Photos, which then gets backed up using Backblaze, but obviously that takes a ton of space on my Mac that I could be using for something else.

I would second this recommendation - I'm off to my local club this evening. I'm presenting Table Topics tonight.

So refreshing to visit a website that doesn’t have a cookie permission popup
This website tried to add something to my calendar (iOS)
Add to settings.json:

    "editor.fontLigatures": false

I also saw a sneaky reference to Brazil (the film)
Beautifully put.
Yes, It's available in the Books app as well.
Re:Family fun with deepfakes on Friday February 02, 2018 @10:35AM (#16291312)
Maybe we're seeing so much coverage of deepfakes just so there is plausible deniability if the watersports video leaks?
According to configureLocalKDC(1):

"The script is non-destructive and can be run multiple times."

They just need to install a giant turntable at every intersection!
