Re:Ask HN: What is your monitor setup?

I use 43" Dell Ultrasharp, it comes with built-in kvm for switching between signal sources so I can connect both my macbook and linux laptop. There is only one tiny but very annoying problem with this setup, macbook will cause screen to restart randomly, sometimes it will make cracking noise... if this was not happening I would say it's almost perfect.

I have packed ff with arkenfox js into container and maybe a handful other people use it https://github.com/grzegorzk/ff_in_podman. Still, most likely the IP address alone is probably the strongest part of fingerprint vector
Maybe instead it would be better to have very different vector each time?
Re:When UPS charged me a $684 tariff on $355 of vintage computer parts

This was before current administration. FedEx charged me $60 AFTER delivery of $30 hat gifted to me from my US peers (yep, no warning, I got an email that I owe them $60 a few days after parcel was delivered). I originally thought it's a scam, but it was not. I diaputed this stating I should be informed BEFORE, not after delivery. After 6 months of back and forth I found that it's actually EU tarrifs.
