Re:A Docker footgun led to a vandal deleting NewsBlur's MongoDB database on Tuesday June 29, 2021 @02:10AM (#27672426)
I don't know how docker is to blame here; to me it's a bit unfair.

It's more about the setting of the ufw. Docker relies on their own NAT table, and setting ufw accordingly requires a bit of setup. That said, having a good setting from hosting provider is quite easier ans safer.

I had been a heavy Duolingo user and collected a great record until I had a crazy 2 days busy with some company work. Once I finished I recognized all my records were gone. I never use the app again =))

I couldn't go back (with Back button) once I visited the page https://rr-tw5.github.io/#DAILY%20NOTES. Honestly I really hate this style that many sites are using :(

Me either. Getting some critical job done is impossible during normal working time when I get a lot of direct questions over slack and have to spend my time on meeting and communication.

The hard thing is that it's not easy to explain critical job' result to the team. Most people simply think that's [my] job.

The very annoying thing to me is that people tend to ask via PM. Why don't they just ask question on common group where there are a lot of people in the team can help? Oh... that's then Slack @here and @channel are problems. They are using that too much, and people don't care anymore lolz

aws does this every 24 hours for a normal setup and that's pita. They just don't care what their users are doing. Yes I was on middle of something and suddenly saw that I had to log into their web console again. w???

This book looks great.

I'm looking for some easy and beautiful way to generate audio visualization; the books' TOC doesn't seem show much.

Can someone please tell me a bit more what I may get from that chapter?

Thanks

I didn't know that. Thanks for the information. I will keep my eyes on that.
Re:Viber extreme long list of *trusted* partners on Monday March 01, 2021 @06:04AM (#26301577)
Maybe they don't allow you to use that option? I'm using European number, so it's some strict requirement.

Viber extreme long list of *trusted* partners

Posted by meow112012 on Monday March 01, 2021 @02:45AM
from the self-post dept.

Viber Mobile has so weird UI.Go to Settings --> Privacy --> Personal data --> Manage ad preferences.There are so many checkboxs there (all are on by default), and there is a _very very long_list of trusted partners (and use of data). It took me more than 30 minutes to uncheck all of them.There isn't any "unselect" all.I have to use Viber for some communication purpose. And this is so...

Re:Telegram Adds Auto-Delete, Widgets and Expiring Invite Links on Thursday February 25, 2021 @02:37AM (#26260614)
Cool feature. I tend to keep my history but within some groups I have had to clear the history frequently (mostly I don't want to remember them in the future).

btw telegram seemed to have an short outage today

Ask HN: Do you know an open source version of winamp twistedpixel plugin?

Posted by meow112012 on Wednesday February 17, 2021 @04:13PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I used to spend hours and days exploring this winamp plugin [1] a few "5" years ago, if I recalled that well. That plugin allowed me to enter some math formula and it then generated so awesome visualizations that aligned with song beats.Do you know any similar open source tool today? I have a few .mp3 files, and I want to generate some visualization from them, then combine both of them to make...

If someone has money and power already, they can take a better chance to get more bitcoin. How about the other guys and the other guys ... 10/20 years later?
Re:Pidgin – A Universal Chat Client on Friday January 22, 2021 @02:06PM (#25874943)
When they renamed the app, I pruned my chat logs by some mistake renaming the logging folders. I lost my most important logs then :(
Re:Pidgin – A Universal Chat Client on Friday January 22, 2021 @02:04PM (#25874922)
yes I do, a lot. Pidgin is awesome. I used it with Yahoo, irc chat. Unfortunately my life is all about slack and telegram today :(

Ask HN: Terminal-Based Games for Kids

from the ask-hn dept.

I don't want to make it hard but accidentally I've found that linux terminal-based games/tools are just awesome for my kids too. They now can log in to the machine themselves, start the shell and there are already two fun things they can spend a lot of time with* ponysay * cowsayAre there any more games/tools for kids which are based on terminal?To be honest, I can give them xfce/gui access,...

Re:Nano 5.0 on Thursday July 30, 2020 @08:31AM (#23997321)
I was in a workshop organized by ElasticSearch. They provided to their VM from browsers. All Vi guys there got stuck because the keybinding didn't work on the browser.

I helped some guys there, shown them how to use nano. And then could move on with the ES demo.
