News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

juahan

It was a cover, but they did not invent it. It is an actual sudied thing and there has been some experimental mining operations as well.
Re:I returned to AWS, and was reminded why I left on Sunday May 10, 2026 @10:25AM (#48084246)
I’m pretty sure for most systems that does not matter in the slightest.
I started doing it for Finland!
This is what I’ve been wondering as well.

Could be also Finnish!
Re:Open Infrastructure Map on Thursday January 08, 2026 @01:28AM (#46537897)
Yeah, and it’s not like the enemy would take the information from here, they already have it and likely even more detailed. It is quite basic stuff to have when preparing to defend (or attack).
I guess artist registers if they want the entity to collect money for their plays.
Re:My home servers are not a homelab on Monday June 30, 2025 @04:51AM (#44420960)
A Quick peek into the Finnish law tells me that the temporary wiring requirements are even more strict. There is no way to do any of that legally without license and proper training.

So I guess we are not civilized enough then.

Went to the site pricetracker.wtf, tried one example search and Cloudflare blocked me. Before that it gave a few 500 errors. Cloudflare Ray ID: 957b4f2ee9b40b9c
Re:My home servers are not a homelab on Monday June 30, 2025 @01:30AM (#44419758)
Well in Finland there is nothing like this for sure. You cannot do 230V electricity work regardless of what you call the rooms. I would really like to hear more about this in other European countries.

I have half jokingly thought that could there even be some evolutionary dimension of improving the language skills of your kids when doing it!
Re:To buy a Tesla Model 3, only to end up in hell on Monday February 10, 2025 @04:00AM (#42998245)
It uses 12.5 kW per 100km travelled. But should be of course kWh.
Re:Norway's wealth fund now worth $319,900 per citizen on Saturday February 01, 2025 @04:27AM (#42897123)
Having lived in Norway forsome years, at least to me the locals told me that it is more due to tradition of ”matpakke” and not so much of not being able to do it. Even in the work place it is common to bring your own sandwitches in stead of having ”proper” lunch. And also, it would be a huge undertaking even if people wanted it as no school building is equipped with suitable kitchen.
Finally a real 3D kanban.
Re:Former President Trump is projected to win the presidency on Wednesday November 06, 2024 @12:01PM (#42065321)
This is the weirdest thing I have read in a while. I can name multiple more democratic countries, for example starting with the Nordic countries. Just having a multi party system goes far in this comparison.
Re:Could you pass this 8th grade test from 1912? on Monday October 28, 2024 @12:53AM (#41967961)
At least in Finnish I’ve seen some, not often but they are there.
Sounds weird, I have had to login exactly once on my iOS devices.
Re:ReMarkable launch Paper Pro, a colour e-ink tablet on Wednesday September 04, 2024 @01:14PM (#41448148)
Not sure if country of residence makes any difference (I’m in EU), but at least I got a new pen from warranty when the nib holder broke. And I think it was even little over 2 years after the purchase.

Re:I kind of feel violated, my YouTube account was closed on Thursday August 29, 2024 @12:26AM (#41387307)
It definitely would be interesting know details. SOmeone using my account for spam was first thing I suspected as well, but at least the Google login history does not show anything out of ordinary, all my devices from locations I know with timestamps that I can match with something I did. Also the account has strong password with 2FA enabled, which I assume should give some amount of security.
Re:I kind of feel violated, my YouTube account was closed on Wednesday August 28, 2024 @05:49PM (#41384800)
But the thing was that I wasn't even watching their ads as I have paid for the Premium for a long time...

I kind of feel violated, my YouTube account was closed

I think I finally got my reminder that it is time to move any important stuff out of Google.I have had Youtube account for I guess well over 10 years now, connected to my Google account. A few days ago I got a message that "Your channel is removed from Youtube" and the reason was that I had apparently severely or repeatedly violated "spam, deceptive practices and scams policy".I don't even...

Re:Analyzing My Electricity Consumption on Friday July 05, 2024 @03:09AM (#40880420)
Oh yes, now I remember reading the P1 spec and it does indeed say that it has been in use in the Netherlands for many years already. In Finland we also call it the HAN-port or the H1-port. Also, I must clarify that it uses RJ12, not RJ26 which I don’t even think exists.
Re:Analyzing My Electricity Consumption on Thursday July 04, 2024 @12:24PM (#40876101)
In Finland (and I guess at least other Nordics as well) we are starting to get neters with so called P1-port, which is open for the user to get their data. All I needed was a wire with RJ26 and an ESP8622 with some esphome definitions and now I get all kinds of data from the meter every 4 seconds. Total consumption, consumption, amperage and voltages per phase etc.
No porn for you then I guess.
I have my Home Assistant completely local, if I need to access it from outside, I open Wireguard VPN to my local network and do my business in Hassio locally.
Re:Ask HN: What Happened to Hackerspaces? on Monday October 23, 2023 @01:17AM (#37981896)
Here in Finland the libraries often have that kind of stuff, in smaller places maybe a little less, but larger cities have nice amount of stuff to use and/or loan.
Re:The Philips Hue ecosystem is collapsing into stupidity on Wednesday September 27, 2023 @04:34AM (#37671795)
I have no experience from Hue lights, but at least Ikea bulbs need to go to pairing mode if they were previously paired to something. Without it they cannot pair to new hub. With Ikea lights you get them into pairing mode by flicking the lights on and off 10 times.
Re:Experts fear crooks are cracking keys stolen in LastPass breach on Saturday September 09, 2023 @09:54AM (#37445441)
Or one is cracked and the others are easy to figure out. Because these types of algorithms tend to feel complicated, but are not as you still have to remember it.
