My one experience with this recently is that UPS will charge you anyway for the duty and if you don't pay they will threaten to turn you over to debt collectors even if they don't deliver the package. So I'm not sure why they in particular would care.

I had the same with FedEx. I reported it as a lost padkage at X value and they decided to write off the customs charge

I don't think I'd ever want someone to consider the hacker news audience when writing a post

A company I used to work at would write posts, put it on hacker news, post the HN link in slack and ask everyone with an account to upvote it

Yeah, screenshot on Monday, messed with the app that evening, tried using it Tuesday morning -- dead.

I've seen people on PureGym's Twitter successfully refreshing screenshots weekly though, and the API response suggests the same.

That being said, I couldn't find a validation endpoint to check if mine got invalidated by something specific (maybe signing out?) or if there's some other magic happening.

I wonder if opening the app invalidated it, and those people who had it working just screenshot once.

My gym has a similar system but I realised it's time based and the app functions without Internet. I installed the app onto an old android with no sim, logged in at home over WiFi and it successfully regenerated QRs without data

Nope. As I read it, any token less than a week old would work. So for any user, they have 7 * 24 * 60 tokens live at any time.

dwedge commented on Nginx introduces native support for ACME protocol   blog.nginx.org/blog/nativ... · Posted by u/phickey

Not gonna lie, setting up Nginx, Certbot inside docker is the biggest PITA ever. you need certificates to start the NGINX server but you need the NGINX server to issue certificates? see the problem? It is made infinitely worse by a tonne of online solutions and blog posts none of which I could ever get to work. I would really appreciate if someone has documented this extensively for docker compose. I dont want to use libraries like nginx-proxy as customizing that library is another nightmare alltogether
dwedge · 12 days ago
Usually the solution is to either not add ssl until you have the certs, or use selfsigned/snakeoil placeholder certs to get nginx started.

Personally I use dns everywhere. I have a central server running dehydrated and dns challenges every night which then rsyncs to all the servers (I'm going to replace it with vault). I kind of like having one place to check for certs

This is pretty big. Caddy had this forever but not everybody wants to use caddy. It'll probably eat into the user share of software like Traefik.

I love this idea. Like others mentioned the cloudflare is annoying and search is way too slow, but as a concept I like it. Make it faster and I can see myself using this every week
dwedge commented on Building Bluesky comments for my blog   natalie.sh/posts/bluesky-... · Posted by u/g0xA52A2A

As of this comment, Bluesky has ~38M users. To sign up is trivial, and doesn't constrain you to folks who already have a Github account or would sign up for one (tech weighted). Skate to where the puck is going. I suppose including a link to the Bluesky sign up page near the discussion section of a post would be helpful, for those not yet onboarded who want to immediately discuss or intend to in the future.

https://bsky.jazco.dev/stats

EDIT: Ask five people you know outside of tech if they have a Github account. Everyone I know outside of tech moved to Bluesky from Twitter. No one I know outside of tech has a Github account. If I encounter someone who has neither, I'm of course going to recommend a Bluesky account from a utility perspective, as they're likely never going to contribute code, issues, discussion on GH if not a tech person. (most of my network is non tech, non startup, non SV people, ymmv; HN is the closest I get to tech folks most of the time)

I don't know a single person outside of tech who has a bluesky account. I know very few people in tech who do.

Sure, but let's keep things in perspective... "it's funded by Google" is still a lesser evil than "it is Google".

That's true, but pretending to be the good guy underdog while really being Google's voice rubs me the wrong way

So when options are

  1) Google, an ad company
  2) Firefox, a company who Google gives money to
Your choice is #1, because #2 is funded by #1?

I'm honestly having a difficult time following this logic

dwedge · a month ago
2. Should be "Firefox, an ad company sponsored by Google to keep anti-monopoly at bay"

My choice at that point comes down to which is the better browser rather than some moral support for one company over the other. It also rubs me the wrong way that Mozilla is pretending to be the good guy underdog.

In an ideal world, and hopefully soon, there would be a real third choice but for now they're the same picture.
