Focus takes training, just like physical exercise, it is a super power to be harnessed.

You can train yourself up by looking at your hand, then building a body, then building a room, and maintaining all of it. When you are strong enough, you walk outside.

What does your question imply about your position regarding what he said and what intent can be derived regarding your followup should he entertain your query?

you attack the messenger

but can you rebuke the message?

You've made a great point.

Just not the point you were trying to make.

I closed the tab after 1 minute of failing to load a readme.md.

80% of my web traffic is bots even mom and pop shops

I've tried it a bunch of times, it just doesn't work and always crashes on Artix.

LightWorks works flawlessly on the other hand.

I would not object to seeing my statistics compared to the statistics of others, what percentile I am in, what percentile I am in based on referrer source and operating system.

I don't like this floaty crap, its a waste of space and looks trash. I realize waterfox was not the designers of it, but I complain here nonetheless.

I'm the author. I have been dealing with this for over a year and reluctantly running LineageOS until two days ago everything related to google services went bonkers on my phone after the TSA had it.

So, inspired by frustration, I revisited the subject and saw it to conclusion.

Initially, GrapheneOS moved my post about this to the 3rd-party-apps forum and then later locked it. Hikvision/Annke/Guarding Vision devs never replied.

So I reverse-engineered their app, found they were checking for com.google.android.gsf (the old GSF package) instead of actually verifying FCM was working, and built an MIT-licensed patcher.

I also submitted a PR to GrapheneOS that adds a minimal synthetic GSF package presence when verified GmsCore is visible to the caller. And it's gated so it only engages when Play Services is actually installed and visible.

For now, the patcher does its job. If the PR gets merged, future GrapheneOS builds will fix this for every app that makes the same wrong GSF check, not just Hikvision stuff.

I also documented a dead-simple method for non-devs: enable USB debugging, plug your phone in, and tell an AI assistant to use the GitHub repo to patch your APK.

Haha perfectly said and reminds me of the time I used AI to fix my neighborhood's comcast outages by correctly diagnosing the issue and there was a guy in the comments thread angry with me for burning down rainforests

You're trying to cancel this guy's project on hackernews comments because he quoted winston churchhill in 2025 and didn't get a vaccine donut in 2019?

What do you get from it? Is he your enemy? Seems like you are trying to destroy him using this comment as attack vector. And this comment is well prepared and sourced and easily repeatable, so I presume you use multiple attack vectors like this.

Just an observation. And as an observer, this is annoying to see.

The index depth just isn't there and at the rate you're crawling you won't catch up to google's ocean cooled datacenter

Good luck nonetheless, we need more independent indexes.

Most recently, I needed a smb 1.0 server to host an iso to an ipmi. I thought about it, rolled my eyes, bought a digital ocean server for $4/month and told Deepseek Flash Free via openrouter via opencode the root credentials and told it to ssh in there wget the iso and and make an smb 1.0 server and give the me credentials.

A couple of days before that, I told it to make a website, and then I kept telling it to do little changes and add crazy graphics. I just wanted to see what it could do. I made 30n3.com as a tech demo built on hugo hosted in cloudflare pages.

I was so impressed with this that I am fully transitioning many of my WordPress sites to this new gen workflow. I just redid my agency site (cyberbrand.net)to using similar method and the whole thing feels like I felt with geocities and tripod as a teenager. Its fun and I'm exploring and there don't seem to be any boundaries.

Before that I just used it for silly stuff like suing people and sending cease and desists.

Yeah, totally in 30 years. And in 2006-2009 Antarctica became ice free.

that's not me but I concur with the statement made

get a life

make me.

That's exactly what I did.

Starlink would have be double natted and I couldn't run my server cluster nor my vpn. And it would have high latency.

How do you get the CEO's office address?

This is actually a great idea. For the consumer. Not for a monopoly ISP which can ignore every issue and collect checks.

What do you mean "owning up"?

You're interjecting your own moral paradigm.

Are you going to ask a car mechanic to own up to using an impact driver? Or a contractor to own up to using an electric nail gun?

I successfully concluded a task beyond expectations. You just don't like it how I did it.

You are the one with the problem, not me.

I suggest you reread, I am very transparent about how I used AI in the very thread to which you are replying claiming that I am denying using AI.

I'm harming society?

You are ridiculous. Touch grass.

Do I owe you something?

AI did not generate the article. You are the one lying.

AI rewrote and restructured an article I wrote to have a professional tone.

Do you want me to prostrate before you for using AI? Get real. I told you exactly how I used it.

And no AI did not write the article. I wrote it. Then I instructed AI to restructure it to have a professional tone.

I probably will but my monetary loss is so negligible they wont care.

There's another article on that site about how I sued Subaru of America for covering up an octane issue.

What route dude I made an article to bring attention to the issue and the attention has been brought. Why do you want me to do things your way? I do things my way just fine. There's always someone to tell you that you should do this or that. Why should I do this or that? You do this and that if that's whats important to you. And if you want me to do this and that then convince me why I should.
