Everywhere... I have seen good devs on Reddit, Discord, Mastodon and even IRC.

I use the two loop knot.. The beauty of this knot is that it doesnt come undone as easily and i can remove/wear my shoes without entying shoelaces. It has come undone only 3-4 times in past 2 years for me. Very effective

You know, after reading your comment I decided to install and try chromium for few minutes and you're absolutely right. It did not ask captcha once. I opened the same websites where cloudflare always asks me for captcha on firefox so I thought this was common, after finding this out, I am feeling annoyed.

I legit thought that rust is being removed.

The amount of people who mistook this for long range radio and were disappointed when it isnt about it is way too damn high. (This is including me)

raaron773 — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 07:40:14 +0000

Been using atuin for some time now. I love it! I wish there was a proper profile option though as I dont want my work related and non-work related reverse searches to mix.

Glad to see that this is now open from closed beta!

I switched to Goodwy. Granted they arent the best since they lock a lot of basic features behind paywall it does the job and their themes are actually decent and feel modern considering they use Material.

Finally.. a hybrid amart watch, that also from Pebble! This is great, the only other hybrid smartwatch I have ever seen was from Fossil and that was quite a few years ago.

New comment by raaron773 in "Tailscale is pretty useful"

raaron773 — Thu, 06 Mar 2025 00:37:34 +0000

Tailscale is great but one thing i dont like about it is that i cannot re-use ip addresses. This feature is offered by ZeroTier it can be very useful if for some reason you have to format and re-install os and everything.. Unfortunately, i cannot use zerotier because the speed i get over it is terrible

Okay now i want this. For some reason i keep imagining the hamster to look similar to the gopher in golang (obviously not blue)

Same. Stow is pretry great! I only recently discovered about the .stowignore very handy!

This looks like it can work with windows as well and you can easily switch between profiles if you have multiple which is great too

New comment by raaron773 in "Ask HN: Do you practice lucid dreaming?"

raaron773 — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 11:47:12 +0000

I actually have tried it but i dont practice it. Performing realty check is really important but at the same time you have to make sure that your check fails in dream. Once, made a mistake that my reality check passed in a dream and i went on about it without thinking much.

I never realized how exhausting it can be once you wake up.

raaron773 — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 07:48:33 +0000

I remember in 2012-13 facebook didnt even have a delete account option only deactivate. I dug deep enough to stumble across a facebook delete link in their community support or something. I made sure to change all my details and then i used that link to delete my account. Used my friends account to verify if it was actually deleted or not.

Never visited facebook since. Its great!

New comment by raaron773 in "Amazon thought it could compete with Steam because it was much larger than Valve"

raaron773 — Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:25:09 +0000

This is a joke right? I doubt most people even know amazon have a gaming platform apart from Twitch. Heck, even I didnt know until this article.

Amazon has no idea how big and dominant steam is in this segment and this article just proved it.
