Re:Tailscale SSH: Investigation and remediation update on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @11:27PM (#50269018)
As I understand it, that use case isn't impacted by these vulnerabilities since it's not using Tailscale SSH, just OpenSSH over Tailscale.
Re:Anthropic asks users to stop being mean to Claude on Saturday October 10, 2026 @10:18PM (#50039183)
I vaguely recall reading a headline within the past several months saying using aggressive language with AIs got better results.
I had the same reaction. rclone is not built on rsync. It's an independent implementation in Go, inspired by rsync.

The sharp angle of the bridge would dig into your nose.
Is it that different from downloading and running a binary?
Re:I Built a Browser Flight Simulator Using Three.js and CesiumJS on Wednesday February 11, 2026 @04:03PM (#46980920)
This is great! It deserves more visibility with a Show HN.
It's interesting to hear about his experience, but I'm not sure if it's typical. There are millions of people retiring each year, presumably many are happy to be done with the drudgery of work and excited to spend time on hobbies and projects they enjoy.

I'm curious to know how many retirees end up like Sergey and how many you don't hear about because they're too busy enjoying their retirement.

I love these kinds of collections but often don't recall the site in the moment I have a task they could fulfill.

To combat that I've been self-hosting https://github.com/CorentinTh/it-tools which has a lot of overlap with these tools and might provide some ideas.

https://github.com/ksdme/ut is a rust CLI with a similar purpose.

I too have found Syncthing + Filebrowser to be a sufficient substitute for Dropbox.
Re:Ask HN: Custom domain name for personal email? on Sunday March 09, 2025 @04:55PM (#43313702)
I found the domain I use by searching for {word}mail.com among expired domains (e.g. expireddomains.net) or new domains (e.g. https://leandomainsearch.com/search/?q=mail)

No need to feel dummy, I was about to ask the exact same question.

Re:Bitwarden introduces mandatory 2FA for new devices on Tuesday January 28, 2025 @11:59AM (#42854690)
I get the desire to make the Bitwarden login more secure, but this is very likely to cause problems for users who don't have their email password memorized. 2FA already carries the burden of needing a backup if you lose your phone. This change means users will need to come up with an alternate way to log in to their email account. I'm not sure it's worth it.

Same with Brave and Firefox on desktop

It gets even more complicated if you use 2FA with your email provider.
Re:Ask HN: What Do You Pay For? on Wednesday June 07, 2023 @09:09PM (#36235890)
I used to only use free services. Then a few shut down, so I started paying for services to help support them.

- Fastmail

- TickTick

- Bitwarden family

- Dynalist - Personal knowledge management

- Several servers & domains for self-hosting

- Laravel Forge - server management

- Hetrixtools - Uptime monitor

- Bunny.net - CDN

- Anonaddy - Email aliases

- Standard Notes

Just a note that the plugin is considered beta:

> Per the primary purpose of the plugin...it can mostly be considered a beta testing plugin.

This reminds me of the Verizon debacle where the user couldn't convince the customer service reps that 0.002 cents is not the same as 0.002 dollars. It was hilarious to hear the phone calls, but would have been maddening to experience. Arguing with an AI about the year is funny, until it's you arguing with it after you were billed for an extra 10 months of service.
Could you share what you use?
Re:Tell HN: Wordle now needs an account to pay on Monday January 30, 2023 @10:33PM (#34590531)
Same. I just tried in an incognito window and didn't have to log in to play today's Wordle.
