There may be a typo in the url, it does not work

There is KDEConnect, which has apps for all major platforms (iOS, android, macOS, Windows and of course Linux) and some more. I even used between Apple devices when AirDrop did not work for some reason.

This is excellent, I was looking for an open source replacement for Google Maps on the web for a while.

And on the top of it, it is open source! I am heading to github and see if I can contribute.

Thanks, I found it in the 'Content Downloaders' menu!

It estimates the download time to 6 hours, and it's not because of the size but most likely their server works slowly. And in the meanwhile it does not let you play, well tomorrow then :)

I downloaded this and it looks cool and comprehensive, but for me the card artwork is missing.

Maybe some server is hugged by HN? Or something needs to be set?

I wonder how difficult would it be to brute force the private key for an RSA 760 bit public key from 1998. Does anyone know?

If anyone is interested the whole series can be watched on Youtube for free. Altogether it is not that great, nevertheless I find the meta story about the pilot fascinating (a show about conspiracy theories "predicts" the 9/11 attack).

There is a project called Swarm that does exactly this.

I found this to be a much better article than the original post. It also explains how the elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman works.

Thanks!

New comment by agazso in "Ask HN: How do you RSS?"

agazso — Fri, 19 Jun 2020 19:25:19 +0000

After I stopped using FB I missed a mobile news reader app that works without having to install a server or create an account.

So with some friends we created an app called Feeds https://github.com/felfele/feeds

It does everything on the phone and there is no ads or tracking whatsoever. You can also mute content with keywords.

It is open-source and currently in open beta for iOS and Android.

Shameless plug: I am currently working on a free, open-source, mobile RSS reader which doesn't require a server or any kind of registration, because everything happens and stays on the device.

Currently it's in beta testing, let me know if you find it interesting. https://github.com/felfele/feeds

New comment by agazso in "CRDT: Conflict-free replicated data type"

agazso — Wed, 06 Nov 2019 17:10:08 +0000

For anyone more deeply interested in this topic I recommend to read this blog post from Archagon. It describes the different alternatives (OT, CmRDT, CvRDT, diff sync) for writing a collaborative editor. And unlike academic papers it is written in a format how a programmer does research and thinks about a problem in real life, so it's very natural to follow, even if it's long and complex.

New comment by agazso in "Way to store your dotfiles: A bare Git repository (2016)"

agazso — Sat, 06 Apr 2019 21:33:52 +0000

You basically make your home dir a git repo and by default ignore everything inside it. When you want to store a dotfile in that repo, you have to force add it (`git add -f`) and it will be tracked.

You can learn more about how git ignores things here: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore

You can use the `git check-ignore` command to check if a certain directory is ignored. I used it in my zsh config to suppress the status of ignored directories in my prompt.
