Really surprised that Autosleep performed so poorly. I've been using it for over a year and I'm pretty satisfied, and chose it because it was the only apple watch sleep app I could find that didn't require a monthly subscription. Admittedly I don't look at the 'score' so perhaps that's it, I just look at the overall 'quality sleep' hours and have found that tracks pretty well with how off-my-game I am that day.

Surely they threw in the trowel?

Thanks for this. Going to be much more conscious of who is watching me type my passcode.

Wow this is really cool. I just tried the example on the homepage, that's magic! No email, username or password. Can someone explain what is happening?

Honestly, cctv is a bit pointless anyway. My bike was stolen and the police had cctv footage from a neighbour but it was no good because they had their faces covered. Unfortunately, the best way to protect a bike is a stronger shed, or a car is fit a steering wheel lock.

Is a GPU previously used for mining worth anything in the second hand market? I was under the impression it thoroughly knackered them out.

My bike was stolen on Monday and I'm honestly still grieving the loss. A bike is more than just transport, it's freedom, exercise and a million times better at clearing your head than any other mode of commute.

Potentially a dumb question but is it a bad idea to just use port forward 22 and use a (free) dns service? Can then ssh with a key as normal no?

New comment by Jsharm in "I changed my mind about advertising"

Jsharm — Thu, 10 Feb 2022 17:46:03 +0000

I'm no fan of ads either but one undeniable benefit is equality; if Google cost money to use then those in poverty would simply be unable to use it. The service is paid for by the wealthiest (as these are the most valuable eyeballs to advertisers anyway).

Ask HN: Country says no to DNSSEC. What can I do?

Jsharm — Thu, 16 Dec 2021 05:55:08 +0000

I have a .to domain and the country code registrar (tonic) says they will not implement DNSSEC. Is this a big problem? Can I get protection from dns attacks in some other way? My website is for a financial service so I'm concerned it would be targeted.

Is there a way I can see this for myself? Ie who facebook thinks I am? Is there something similar for google or other ad networks?

Eurgh it was so much work to get my parents used to using lastpass. I even pay for premium for the whole family, can't face having to migrate them all.

The fees alone must have been astronomical. I was astounded that it took 4 hours last week for a transfer of mine to confirm (4 confirmations were required for the broker to recognise it as legit). And I'd paid $15 in fees!
