Exactly. By repeatedly saying "the definition is exactly what the EO said," he’s essentially deflecting responsibility and shifting the accountability upstream.

The only way to get your account shutdown faster than waiting the 60+ days for unpaid invoices.

It sounds like OP provisioned services, didn't use it, ignored it, and is now paying the price.

Could we build a web-based service that acts like an FTP browser for the internet?

Funny enough, that's the camera OP used to take the pictures in the floppy-disk hosted blog!

I'm a big fan OP, cool project!

Just tested on Tahoe 26.1 and it's still happening as he described.

I’ve been getting an increasing number of SendGrid-themed phishing emails lately, but this one was easily the most creative.

I get it, but I’ve never really bought into the idea that Apple optimizes for the environment out of pure altruism.

Linkd — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 15:22:03 +0000

The amount of time I've spent dealing with this over the years is just incredible.. It's gotten to the point where during ingestion we auto-rotate everything just in case and strip out exif orientation metadata and never have to deal with it again.

EXIF orientation has always been a massive pain to deal with. Specially with HEIC that keeps getting updated libheifs and causing all sorts of compatibility issues.

The fact that it's nicely commented is even more so. Check out the other environment configs commented out, are they doing this by hand? Wild.

Linkd — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 21:16:46 +0000

As a lifelong Valve/CS fan, I've been so disappointed with subtick. It was pitched as generational evolution to the games netcode. Yet years later they're still playing catchup to what CS:GO provided..

Hopefully competition from Valorant and others puts more pressure to make things happen at Valve.

Anything from a simple to filterable list of servers with names and player counts. Most importantly: it gives the player consistent and complete control of their experience vs an auto-match-making algorithm that randomly throws you into lobbies.

This happens so rarely, that it makes the UX impact to the every day user not worth it in my opinion.

Ask HN: Lightweight Alternatives to Parsec for a Centralized Workstation Setup?

Linkd — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 17:02:48 +0000

I work from home and maintain multiple “desks” scattered around my house—some indoors, one outside—and I'm tired of hauling my Mac laptop and peripherals back and forth. My ideal setup would be a central server hosting my entire workstation, allowing me to connect from each station with just a keyboard, mouse, and monitor.

I'm currently using Parsec, but it feels like it still requires a fairly powerful client. Does anyone know of a leaner solution—something that doesn’t demand a heavy GPU on the client side—while still offering responsiveness and a solid remote desktop experience? Any ideas or real-world anecdotes would be greatly appreciated!

Very neat way to browse a feed.. Any plans to implement up/down voting?
