News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I don't know. That's a big problem, too. That's why I want to rely on synchronization. That's why I'm thinking of saving to the cloud—to my own server. But if I entrust my data to just one place, any problem that arises there could affect something else. Filing a lawsuit won't bring my notes back.
I even considered setting up a private storage device connected to my local network. I thought that as soon as my device connected to that local network, the notes there would automatically sync to that storage, and the note on the device would be deleted.

There was one problem: synchronization. Since I couldn’t figure that out, I couldn’t move forward with the idea.

Even if encryption alone seems sufficient, being able to access my notes from different devices just isn’t enough.

I want to be able to access my notes from my computer and my phone—even when I’m not at home—but with maximum privacy and security.

I realize this is a bit of a challenge. But I’m still pursuing a solution.

Ask HN: What are you doing to protect the privacy of your notes?

I’ve used many note-taking tools. But over time, my expectations have changed. Right now, my focus is entirely on privacy. When I looked at privacy-focused note-taking tools, I couldn’t make up my mind.For example, I’m currently using Obsidian. But some of its features aren’t quite what I want, and it still feels like it’s lacking in terms of privacy.I wanted to ask this question in case you...

You won't believe it, but I can host 100 websites for a maximum of $100 per year.

It may seem strange to you, but PHP servers work very well.

I think it's worth a try.

Are the materials used Creative Commons?
We didn't file a counterclaim. Because my lawyer said it wasn't necessary. Because even if we won the counterclaim, we would have earned very little money.

Since the other side may be doing this commercially, they may be thinking in terms of mass production. In other words, they file lawsuits and earn as much as they can. If they can't win, they keep filing lawsuits against others. They don't bother.

They might not be making it a matter of pride; they might just be thinking about making money.

Welcome to Earth! Some people really enjoy exploiting legal loopholes.

Two years ago, I was sued for $10,000 in copyright infringement for embedding a YouTube video on my website. They filed a lawsuit by describing the word “embed” as if it were “upload.” But they are two different things. I won the case. But I realized that others didn't.

I learned that the company filed lawsuits against dozens of websites, especially Blogspot sites. I even heard a rumor.

They share content on social media and community sites in a way that entices people, focusing on areas that remain in a gray zone and where few people know it's illegal.

For example, “Embed movies from YouTube and share them on your website. You'll make a lot of money. If I knew how to program, I would do it.” This is just one example. There are many different examples. By the way, my site wasn't a movie site.

They apparently file lawsuits like clockwork against anyone who triggers their radar with the right keywords via Google Alerts.

Cybercrimes are just another reflection of this. If I could, I'd share more, but I don't want to go to jail. Freedom of expression isn't exactly welcomed everywhere on the internet.

Re:Spinning Up an Onion Mirror Is Stupid Easy on Thursday October 30, 2025 @02:02PM (#45763035)
I'm not an expert. I'm asking because I don't know.

Did I understand correctly? You can create a site with a .onion extension without a domain on a hosting service.

I'm thinking. If you can do it this way with .onion, can you do it with something else? That would be a bit unusual.

If that were possible, being able to customize the extensions would be interesting. Being able to customize brand names. Like .mybrand, or .egg, .bread, whatever you want.

Why is Normalize.css back in the spotlight after all this time?

My take on Normalize.css is how something so simple can have such a huge impact. It's astonishing.

Re:Be Careful with Obsidian on Thursday October 23, 2025 @04:34AM (#45679585)
Obsidian is a startup that's been on my radar. It inspires me. They're able to go so far as to challenge Notion with their small team, which I appreciate. By the way, I'm not saying Notion is bad. I think it's revitalizing the industry.

On the other hand, I was unaware of the vulnerabilities in the Apple ecosystem. Or rather, I didn't think there would be. The article raised my awareness.

Re:I underestimated how lonely building solo can be on Friday August 08, 2025 @02:02AM (#44833938)
2 years ago I had a co-founder. I was so relaxed at that time that my responsibility was reduced and my mental health increased. After my co-founder and I broke up, my brain felt like it was gonna explode. Within a few months I had immediately created a comfort zone. The worst thing about being alone is not being able to consult anyone when making decisions. Sometimes I really feel like my soul is separating from my body.

Casey Neistat has to get Beme 2 out

Nine years ago, Casey Neistat released the Beme app. I think he should announce Beme 2 because it addresses a real need right now—reality!Casey Neistat is a world-famous YouTuber. He launched a social media app 9 years ago, complaining that everything was artificial. But it didn’t go as planned. But I think he should release version 2.There is a straightforward answer. It’s because of...

I read it, it's a good article. It's probably an article I can recommend in the future when I talk to people about colors.

I see—design rule. And your website is inspiring.
