I really like Mailbrew. Daily email digests from RSS feeds (and a bunch of other stuff).

Re:23andMe is reportedly turning the blame back on its customers on Wednesday January 24, 2024 @11:06AM (#39118986)
Using a service like Have I Been Pwned, could companies like 23andMe proactively invalidate credentials that are known to be leaked? The next time those customers try to log in, they're forced to update their credentials through something like an email-based password reset?
Zeno! Since no one else has said it on this thread, thank you for your work on Dracula.
Re:Ask HN: What was the best software that you used during 2022? on Thursday December 29, 2022 @02:03PM (#34176451)
FitBod [0]

Completely changed my approach to the gym. I used to never know what to do when I arrived in the morning. I’d usually do some cardio and then go shower.

FitBod now has me consistently doing hour-long workouts 4 days a week. I’ve used equipment I’ve never touched before and seen fantastic improvements in my fitness and strength.

Re:Show HN: Make your site’s pages instant in one minute on Friday February 15, 2019 @03:42PM (#19174527)
I wrote a very minimal GreaseMonkey script that adds this to every page: https://github.com/KieranHunt/instant.page/raw/master/instan...
As far as I know, Crossrail is the name of the project whilst the Elizabeth line is the name of the actual line. The Elizabeth line seems to be not quite an extension of the underground.

This video clears it up somewhat [1].

If a domain that you share your certificate with has their certificate revoked or is blacklisted for any reason this could have a negative impact on you.

I can confirm. My gran still has (she's not using it) her original TV bought around the time. From the stories my parents tell the SABC (think BBC) initialy broadcast a test signal and the early adopters would crowd around their TVs just to watch that.

Re:Upcylce Old Speakers with C.H.I.P on Thursday March 03, 2016 @02:56AM (#11215577)
I was one of the C.H.I.P. kickstarter backers. I actually have two. I've been quite pleased with them. Apart from the issue with early C.H.I.P.s not booting[1], I've been had very few issues with mine.

I really like the idea of these small, cheap, hackable and ubiquitous computers that we can assign to a project and not worry about the cost. One issue with the multitude of different companies making these things (Raspberry Pi, Beagleboard, Next Thing, etc.) is that some systems garner large communities (and subsequently lots of support) whilst others seem to remain small. Most of my endeavours with these computers has been software related but I imagine that the size of the community comes into effect when it comes to hardware support. Is there something that can be done do try to minimize this difference?

Something like this already exists in the form of SyncNet.
