Re:Ask HN: Gitlab or Gitea for self-hosting Git? on Friday September 15, 2023 @08:28AM (#37521954)
if you need CI/CD gitlab. if you allready have CI/CD with something like jenkins or whatever, or even if you dont need CI/CD at all gitea.
the blocker is nvidia being an arse and not giving vGPU capability to customers (its a paid feature in Tesla cards)

"which is unlikely merged to the project as the functions is very limited to certain people."

you should fork, implement the change and create a pull request first. Dont assume that they wont implement it. they might do it.

Re:Ask HN: Restream.io but for TikTok? on Monday January 13, 2020 @03:30AM (#22032790)
as far as i can tell theres really no way to stream to tiktok seems like they only allow video uploads
i would just use zmap since its not only for such a niche usecase :D
i dont get what the issue is? this is a personal problem with your colleague
this requires physical access so its not really an issue

why not simply lock the screen? it seems like a cumbersome fix for such an easy task
Re:Tell HN: New Discord phishing attempt going around on Wednesday June 26, 2019 @04:01AM (#20282789)
theres nothing fancy about it. its just a plain ol' copy login page and start phishing with similar looking domain

and the twitter guy makes it sound like its a huge deal...

ufw is awesome and really shit at the same time... as long as you just need opened & closed ports its all fine, as soon as you do something with multiple networks (Docker, VM's) you have to fix quite alot manually into iptables directly and make sure it gets readded whenever ufw decides to overwrite iptables.

i can highly recommend to directly use iptables and take a look at the arch linux wiki and especially this site https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Simple_stateful_firewal...

because most of the times the malware simply uses completly normal and fine to use system api's to do what it wants to do. And for the deployment it simply gets added to cracked apps or just fake apps in general
i would argue that Windows is bad for anything but Windows development and gaming.
also: running any other OS doesnt make it any more secure. in most cases the user is the weakpoint of the system
noone can answer you if it is "secure" because that highly depends on your perspective and usecase! I would argue that running windows is inherently insecure ;)

but i would also argue that its way more secure than needed for 99% of the users

Re:Ask HN: What's the best resources to learn Networking? on Monday February 04, 2019 @03:27AM (#19074766)
look up the CCNA certification! the information you need to pass that sum up a pretty good chunk of networking.

so get yourself your favorite search engine and look up studying material for that ;)

Re:Ask HN: Is it just me, or is CSS too damn hard? on Tuesday January 29, 2019 @07:34AM (#19025786)
css is just as hard as you make it! if you follow basic rules: make every component contained in a box wich they cant break out of!

make it lean and use the css operators like > first-child etc.

Re:Ask HN: What do you dislike most about Golang? on Tuesday December 11, 2018 @07:49AM (#18654959)
all the information that gets hidden in plain sight: like the capital first letter indicating if a func / member is public or not

time coding go: to short because this seriously keeps me away from learning it

Re:Ask HN: Why Docker for Mac is so much screwed up? on Tuesday November 27, 2018 @05:26AM (#18541120)

Re:Ask HN: Think GPS like system but local on Wednesday November 21, 2018 @09:08AM (#18502757)
it really shows that you didnt even think about it once :D

look at how gps works (its really simple) then look at some passive systems and some active ones

you will see why noone made an elegant solution yet

Re:Ask HN: Why don't people talk about programming by example? on Tuesday November 13, 2018 @02:29AM (#18439310)
another huge thing is it will be really hard to get optimized algorithms
also this is not even close to being an issue with webpack
