Ask HN: Do you know Bitbucket are chaning their SSH endpoints?

Bitbucket have decided that changing their ssh endpoint from `bitbucket.org` to `ssh.bitbucket.org` is now a thing because security.More info can be found on their community pages here: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/discussion/3234032/upcoming-change-to-bitbucket-cloud-ssh-access-move-from-bitbucket-org-to-ssh-bitbucket-org#M2952Despite the date on the community post it only seems to...

Excellent Site!

What are the lines that cross Scotland ? At time of writing they are red where as other lines further south are green.

I know of some on shore wind up near the Rochdale area too. Does it mean they are offline if they just appear as black dots on the map?

Outrage! Now where am I going to get my cat pictures from ?! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I can only think the most direct usage for this info is to feed the performance screen/tab that lives in settings showing CPU and memory usage

But some of the info its reading seems a little bit too much

cough 'telemetry' cough

Re:Terraforming 1Password on Saturday January 27, 2018 @11:03AM (#16246664)
What are your thoughts on using modules inside terraform ?
There are some handy docker images for this over on the docker hub if you want to try them and dont have/want the needed python setup but just happen to have docker installed
Re:Chrome removes Backspace to go back on Thursday May 19, 2016 @08:23PM (#11734877)
ffs this is stupid. backspace has always been "back" in browsers and it really vexes me when some versions of firefox on some linux distro's do this. two hands have to be used to action this because the right alt key is either not mapped ( on some os'es ) or is alt-gr. backspace works well when moving quickly too - one finger from home row and bam.

Rather then this be the fix they should probably look at the bug thats causing the user to go back when the form element is focused.

Whats next ? take away space bar for moving through the page ?

A about:config thing needs to be present for this to allow the user to switch between what they want. Sure extentions are possible to fix this too but i dont really want a 3rd party extention to re-enable whats a tried and tested keyboard shortcut. Additionally what happens if that dev's account gets hacked and the extention modded for malace ? Or if the dev pulls the thing in a way similar to the node.js module issue a month or so ago.

This part is worrying though:

We have UseCounters showing that 0.04% of page views navigate back via the backspace button and 0.005% of page views are after a form interaction.

Where is that data being gathered from and how?

Additionally what is classed as a form interaction ?

Re:Get SSL Expiration Alerts with AWS Lambda and CloudWatch on Sunday January 17, 2016 @02:24PM (#10920591)
We have a shared calendar in the business with all this stuff on and there's also a reminder that crops up in the order system (Mainly because monies are due to change hands again rather than the ssl is about to go pop)
Re:Get SSL Expiration Alerts with AWS Lambda and CloudWatch on Sunday January 17, 2016 @12:25PM (#10920114)
"OK Google, set a reminder 1 year from now to...."

Nice write up. But a bit over kill for something that you can solve with a calendar item. ...Doesn't actually have to be on google though ;)

Re:Telemetry, Now on Windows 7 and 8 on Monday August 31, 2015 @11:51AM (#10147369)
there is a linux package called readpst that, as its names suggests, read's the contents of the PST and can output into mailbox or maildir formats. Thunderbird seems to be happy with its default output

Edit: corrected a typo

cool

... but ifconfig and nano ... really?

:P

Re:Poll: Would you buy a Lumia 1020 if it ran Android on Sunday July 28, 2013 @12:28PM (#6117100)
Possibly yes, i would need to look in to it more. however i have not looked in to the camera aspect of the device so i can not agree with the "it has the best camera" part of the statement.
This is something that has been going on for a couple of years you know
Indeed. However it would be nice if it was a component that can be added on rather than just making an assumtion. Same goes for the autoupdate i heard about a few weeks ago; Ask me first then go do stuff.
The increasing number of permissions that appear to be out of place for this app is exactly why i hit the "force stop" button for the app about a month ago and then went on to hit the uninstall button for it about 3 hours ago. I would like to continue to use the facebooks messaging features though. however their need to include the read/write/edit your SMS/MMS messages permissions is a serious put off and causes me not to want to install it.
