keybase's kbfs is my dropbox-style replacement. It works really well in my experience

You can use uBlock Origin in Firefox on Android, and I've found DNS66 to be a good non-rooted adblocker on Android.

Check out newpipe, it's in f-droid. It supports audio-only with the screen off, and downloading audio from videos.

Check out keybase, I've been using it as a Dropbox replacement, and it works pretty well. Its file access on mobile is still in development, as is everything else.
Re:Nike Says Its $250 Running Shoes Will Make You Run Much Faster

"Runners who improved their performance in Vaporflys and then switched to other shoes got slower.
There were very few runners in our data who met this criterion: We counted just 24 such races. But these runners finished about 7 percent slower on average than they did while wearing the Vaporflys. (Of the 24 races, 17 races were slower, and 7 were faster.)"

But it's not the same device, in removing your old operating system you've removed the device keys keybase uses for encryption.

No, since there are fewer articles being submitted to the journals, they need to accept and publish more of them to meet their quotas.

Re:Reach for Markdown, not LaTeX

It's nowhere near as nice in my, and lots of other people's, opinion. Just because people don't like it doesn't mean they haven't used it. Also, word's actual typesetting can't touch latex. I wouldn't want to use word for anything, let alone something that requires a large equation.

Re:Let’s talk about usernames
on Monday February 12, 2018 @08:54AM (#16358516)
To solve this problem in part, keybase exists. At its core it's a proof-of-identity service, with some fanciness on the side. Sure it doesn't fix the root of the username issue, but it helps a little bit, while having cool things like kbfs and kbp.

I don't get the point of this comment. Are you criticizing the current state of cryptocurrencies, or are you implying that investing your life savings in an exchange is somehow safer than keeping it on a USB key?

Not sure if you're trolling, but the network is being accessed by bypassing the captive portal. The network is being accessed in a way that isn't permitted.

Re:Ask HN: What encrypted Dropbox alternative do you use?

Keybase. It's a pretty great overall service, with its encrypted virtual file system being just one of them.
