I was a Platinum subscriber for a few years. It's definitely not a scam, but in my opinion, they completely fail at detecting cheaters.

It's very frustrating when you lose a lot of games to cheaters. I cancelled my subscription and moved to Lichess — and although I still lose games, I don't feel like I'm being cheated nearly as often as on Chess.com.

Metasploit is a project released like 20 years ago (although amazing tool). How is the link to their homepage worth HN front?
Excellent! I was looking for a lightweight OSS alternative to Freshdesk/Zendesk and, honestly, didn’t find any worth deploying. Yours looks very promising, and we’ll definitely assess it.

We use https://cube.dev/ as intermediate layer between data warehouse database and Superset (and other "terminal" apps for BI like report generators). You define your schema (metrics, dimensions, joins, calculated metrics etc) in cube and then access them by any tool that can connect to SQL db
My biggest frustration with chess online is the huge number of cheaters on platforms like chess.com and lichess. It really takes the whole fun away.

I never really understood WHY people are cheating in online chess games. There is no fame, no money in it. This is puzzling for me.

My frustration is that chess.com and lichess are extremely week at finding and banning cheaters. Sometimes is sooo obvious, when for example somebody blunders a piece in first few moves and from this moment starts playing just perfect moves.

Yeah. You have to realize that in chess there are two players and one of them is going to lose. Sometimes it's you, sometimes it's your opponent. To progress in chess you need to win more games than you lose. 50.5% win rate is enough in the long term.

My suggestion based on my own emotions with chess is that you should start playing quick games like 3+2 or something. The time and emotional "investment" in those games is low enough that you might not care when you lose. Just start another game and try again. Losing classical game that you were playing for 2 weeks is a different beast.

Pegasus was also used in Poland by the "Prawo i sprawiedliwość" ruling party (in eng. "Law and justice" sic!) to spy on the head of the opposition electoral staff during 2019 election.
Still cryptome.org up and running since 1996

> I think there are a lot of people that would like to pay for IDA but can't get it.

Many years ago we wanted to buy IDA Pro license and were quickly declined because we had whois privacy protection enabled on our domain.

We have migrated 150+ accounts from GWorkspace to M365 last year. Better price, more features.
Not all polish press. Just the national, govt controlled television. The same that used materials from compromised smartphone of Krzysztof Brejza in 2019
PiS, the party ruling in Poland since 2015 used Pegasus spyware about 30 times against Krzysztof Brejza, senator and chief of opposition party electoral campaign during 2019 elections.
Everything is politics

Please be aware, that the most popular emule server software available many years ago was backdoored. That's why it was distributed as a binary, without code.

Save links from Facebook to Pocket

Pocket users on iPhone know this. Saving links from Facebook is not easy. I've finally found 20 minutes of free time and came up with two ways to do that using IFTTT:1) easy to setup but less convenient to use:You'll have to "share" a link and use #pocket tag on it. You probably don't want to spam all your friends with all the links you save so you'll also have to change the privacy settings of...
