I can't tell if you're being satirical or if this is some 1984 re-writing of history, but Twitter definitely banned linking to other social media websites under Elon's rule.

> "We know that many of our users may be active on other social media platforms; however, going forward, Twitter will no longer allow free promotion of specific social media platforms on Twitter," the company said in a statement.

New comment by darknavi in "Show HN: Layerleak – Like Trufflehog, but for Docker Hub"

A small ask: Don't have the main tag like for your product refer to another product. I know what Docker Hub is, but I have no idea what Trufflehog is.

The first like of the GitHub README is much better IMO: layerleak the Docker Hub Secret Scanner

Isn't that actually great? Just never create and sign into a Walmart account and now your TV isn't infected.

I do nightly offsite mirroring (just to a cloud provider) and making that go faster and not cannibalize all of my throughput is nice.

Well yes, but by republicans on Trumps behalf. Not allowing Obama to put a new judge forward in the last year of his term, and then allowing Trump to with even less time left in his term is just a chef's kiss of hypocrisy.

New comment by darknavi in "Honda is killing its EVs"

For me it likely won't matter 98% of the time. I charge at home and already cap out my existing circuit and it's plenty fast for me (around 10% of range per hour).

For those not with an overnihht charging parking spot I can see the appeal though.

> Anything you need to plug into a power source is doomed to fail.

Totally disagree. One of the reasons I drive an EV is so I _can_ plug it in and never go to a gas station again. What a useless exercise and waste of my time, especially for a penny-pincher like me who would wait in like for 20 minutes at Costco for gas.

All three pairs of AirPod Pros I've owned have had rattling issues that would reproduce when I physically moved/tilted my head. It's really annoying.

New comment by darknavi in "Asian governments roll out 4-day weeks, WFH to solve fuel crisis caused by war"

darknavi — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 18:01:49 +0000

I know it's a meme on HN to say everyone likes WFH, but I (and many but not ICs around me) thrive more in person.

I am 100% more effective in person where I can dev and my desk and bounce ideas off if team mates around me verbally. This can be recreated in a remote environment by having things like a team Discord that folks sit on, but it can feel forced at times (just like communiting to the office I suppose).

My take might be heavily skewed though. I am in games and our environment is highly collaborative.

Maybe we should make young learners in primary school use "infected" Windows XP so they can dodge spam popups and learn what and what not to click.

I wish this sort of thing was encouraged in the modern capitalist technology space.

Unfortunately, number always must go up (and the rate at which the number goes up, also must go up).
