You can make an iOS shortcut to make it appear as an "app" (launches keychain manager). I did this for some elderly folk, works great.

Go outside and everything is covered in fucking cars.

> there are no street lights in the entire city.

Yikes. Street lighting is one of the most important safety improvements, especially for people walking, as most pedestrian deaths due to drivers occur at night.

Of course, if we weren't so dependent on cars to do literally everything this wouldn't be the case, and we could safely get rid of a lot of street lighting.

aeharding — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 05:21:12 +0000

I’m being bitten by this right now. Registered a domain in personal account, want to move to a different cloudflare account and I can’t since that’s completely unsupported. The recommendation is to transfer out to external registrar, wait 60 days, transfer back in.

Can’t even change the name servers, since that’s not configurable with cloudflare.

And I can’t move the domain out of cloudflare so I can change nameservers for 60 days because I just registered the domain…

Support very unhelpful, situation sucks.

That's weird. Every time I've applied to get out of sandbox it's taken <24 hours, including very recently.

Wow, it's actually happening! Providing the notifications API behind "add to home screen" is exactly what I've been hoping for.

Nice seeing this on the top of HN, lucky timing, I was just browsing code/blogposts etc last night and ended up donating €30. I've been toying with the software and I've been pretty impressed.

I'd like to see an invite-based signup option like Mastodon, but other than that, it's a nice roadmap!

Most recently, hosting Mastodon has been great (single user).

Ask HN: Is anyone else getting spammed via GitHub recently?

aeharding — Thu, 29 Dec 2022 00:31:24 +0000

Earlier today, a number of people I know have been spammed via GitHub issues and discussions, using @-mentions. Push notifications and emails sent. Very annoying because the report process for spamming on GitHub is not that quick.

It's a lot more productive to support a free helmet program in your city, if you really want more people to wear helmets.

Some APIs need to be locked behind “add to home screen” starting with the notifications api.

Amazon prime isn’t even two days anymore in Madison. It’s more like four or five days. I don’t understand what people value in prime anymore.

Nice. I wish there was some web API to record geolocation in the background over time. I understand the privacy implications, but if it was an API only available to installed PWAs, and with an indicator similar to native apps when recording geolocation in the background, I feel like that would be acceptable.
