a better web experience than IPv4

That's already the case. IPv6 is often faster because most ISPs these days use cgnat for IPv4.

Why not "ssh undefined-behavior@exe.xyz" (naming based on the example in the blog)? That way, you would have the "Host header" as username.

For example: https://nextjs.org/blog/CVE-2025-66478

Pipelines are being processed, but delays are still expected for up to 2 hours. Jobs may still be stuck in pending state during this time.

This made me realize how dependent I am on GitLab CI/CD. I don't even know how I would perform a new deployment without it.

I find their pricing model strange. I can completely understand why they would want to limit outgoing emails per day. But limiting incoming emails per day feels strange, even if the limit seems reasonable.

LanguageTool also belongs to an American company, because it was acquired by Learneo in 2023. You can also see this on the LanugaTool website. If you click on Imprint, you will see a German company, but if you go to the terms and conditions, it suddenly becomes an American company.

If I understand correctly, this means you can't back up the private key, correct? It's in the Secure Enclave, so if you lose your laptop, you also lose the key?

In a business environment, that's what you want. The key is then burned, and you ask your coworkers (who still have access) to remove the old key and store your new one on the servers.

Background:

Other apps were not allowed to use this permission at all, once it was introduced in 2022. I could convince them back then, that we need this. But nowadays they are more strict on it and thus we needed to remove this permission. Thus is, why it feels now like a regression / problem in UX, while it was only an exception that they allowed it for ~2 years.

What is the source of “Firefox Moves to GitHub”? It could be a mirror, just like Linux also has an mirror on GitHub.

Had a similar problem but can't remember the Btrfs process. Anyway, after I switched off Btrfs quotas, everything was fine.

that repository appears to be abandoned

The last commit and release is from october.

Interesting. Are there open APIs that you use for train-scanner or do you have to reverse engineer some apps?

Redesign is hard because there always users that like the current/old design. For me the new sidebar looks nice and cleaner (I use it on gitlab.com for 3 weeks now).

It was communicated transparently: it was abused too often.

It's not a secret that a no-log policy also attracts abuse.

Funny enough, in most cases it's the other way around.

Set up and forget is a often a bad idea. Keyword: Security Updates

via Bluetooth too

Wouldn't recommend, bluetooth has the disadvantage of being very slow.

without drining my phone battery for a hotspot

I faced a similar problem. I have now invested my money in an external battery instead to charge my phone if necessary. For me, this seemed like a simpler solution (also, I don't have to worry about a second SIM this way).

For iPhones, there are now batteries that do not even need cables.

Thought the same thing. Finding the root cause is easier when you don't have to debug dozens of abstraction layers (KVM, Containerd/Docker, Kubernetes, etc).

Check whether an alternative firmware already exists (e.g. OpenWrt or DD-WRT).

because I'd hit some limit (..) 10 days max is pretty bad

The free(!) plan includes 300,000 queries per month. That is transparent everywhere. On the website, pricing page and in the dashboard. You can even see how much you have already used. That's pretty fair for a free service for which you pay nothing. For me, that's enough for a whole month.

(..) which doesn't arbitrarily stop working

1. NextDNS sends an email before the limit is reached

2. Once the limit is reached, no more ads are blocked, but dns continues to work

GitLab.com scheduled pipelines. You get 400 free minutes per month and can do whatever you want.

If you use a Btrfs filesystem with snapshots, I can recommend Btdu as an alternative. Advantage: Can handle duplicate files (snapshots), which however only occupy 1x disk space.

(..) since Firefox shares same "Safe Browsing" database with Google

This. Firefox even sends the hash and filename of each download to Google. So if you use Firefox to download the Tor browser, an abortion price list or a secret PDF, Google knows you downloaded it.

Disclaimer: The blogpost is two years old, but I assume this is still current.

For reference for HN users who don't know who this is:

Greg Kroah-Hartman is a major Linux kernel developer. As of April 2013 he is the Linux kernel maintainer for the -stable branch, the staging subsystem, USB, driver core, debugfs, kref, kobject, and the sysfs kernel subsystems, Userspace I/O (with Hans J. Koch), and TTY layer.

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Kroah-Hartman

On the other hand, it would be confusing to have two top level domains for one country.

Yes.

Sure. The same goes for email, Twitter, Telegram, Nextcloud and any other service that is not end-to-end encrypted per default. However, I see the least danger with Mastondon, since the discussions usually take place in public anyway.

And: I don't know if this is only the case with the instance on which i am, but Mastodon is even transparent and displays the following hint when you want to send a PM.

Posts on Mastodon are not end-to-end encrypted. Do not share any sensitive information over Mastodon.

Most linodes have fixed IPs

I would expect the opposite. Doesn't DHCP make more sense, for example, if the user creates a snapshot and restores it with a new IP? I don't use Lenode, so I can't judge, but I would expect DHCP to be default.

We migrated from S3 to Minio

Hosted/SaaS Minio or self hosted?
