Stremio with torrent addons is extremely common.

georgiecasey · 3 years ago

this is the answer, Stremio is the easy-to-use solution that I setup for my parents and forgot about. the comments above with their complicated usenet setups reminds me of the famous hackers news comment when dropbox was released.

should you not have disclosed that you're a Hex employee in the blogpost?

everyone giving their opinion in this thread should disclose whether they've tried cocaine. proper fishscale cocaine, not stepped on washing up powder.

the problem is it's too damn good. way too addictive and harmful

If you are a software developer, check to make sure you aren't being impersonated on Upwork as well. A couple months back someone (I think I know who, but have no proof) was posing as me, and a suspicious client noticed that the person they were chatting with on video did not look that much like me in real life. Two other PHP/Laravel devs had impersonators on Upwork as well around the same time.

One of these other devs only noticed because the client sent a calendar invite to his real email, instead of the one provided by the impostor.

[edit - I'm reading through the original post, and I see now that this was all done through Upwork as well. Yikes!]

all things aside, it'd be a great ego-boost if someone thought me good enough to impersonate on Upwork

Magnus Carlsen has himself commented a sentiment similar to the article , on the Lex Fridman podcast (although not the exact same terms, I think if you _try_ to give the article a favourable interpretation, you can understand what they're trying to say).

You need 'subterfuge and misdirection' in the sense that (as the world no-1 puts it), it's a semi-bluff...a weird/not-really-analysed position, but that will still end up in a draw if the opponent responds appropriately.

Lex: "Is there a sense in which it's ok to make sub-optimal moves?"

Magnus: "You HAVE to, because the best moves have been analysed to death, mostly."

surely they're talking about the opening only, where the best moves have been analyzed to death. once you're in the middle game and it's a position that's new, you play the best moves.

I wonder how some of those can be verified accounts at all. They appear to have been hijacked just hours ago, their original content and followers are still there. The rules for Twitter Verification say "Demonstrate your account has a follower count in the top .05% of active accounts located in the same geographic region" yet some of these accounts just have a few hundred followers. Surely 300 followers cannot be in the top .05% of active accounts in, say, Indonesia?

I wouldn't be surprised if someone responsible for verifying accounts in Indonesia took a bribe.

so Apple and Samsung get most of the profits, and Google has to pay a huge fine for doing the open source thing and letting 3rd parties build handsets. If Google just built their own handset, kept Android closed-source and charged €800 a phone, the EU would have no problem with that but we'd all be worse off.

You should be more careful with such statements. Boldly claiming that something is 'false' and backing it up with a rather vague hypotheticals does not make your statement look good, considering that said hypotheticals are not supported by my own chess playing experience. Of course, I don't claim to be a really strong player or something, and my lichess rapid rating is only ~2580, so maybe your expertize in these matters exceeds mine.

georgiecasey · 3 years ago

That's a serious lichess rapid rating. Are you a titled player?

georgiecasey commented on Android Chrome 99 expands Certificate Transparency, breaking all MitM dev tools httptoolkit.tech/blog/chr... · Posted by u/pimterry

matt_heimer · 4 years ago

It doesn't break Charles Proxy unless you installed your CA cert in a method that is typically used by httptoolkit (installing in the system store).

What is broken is installing a custom CA into the system store on a rooted phone and making it work with all apps (apks) and Chrome.

If you install the custom CA into the user store it'll still work with Chrome.

If you want to use Charles to inspect the HTTPS traffic of an app you are developing then you continue to follow the instructions from https://www.charlesproxy.com/documentation/using-charles/ssl... to configure your test build to use the user store CA certs.

If you want to use Charles to inspect apps from other developers then you need to rebuild them to trust the user store just like you would if you were developing the app yourself. Use https://github.com/shroudedcode/apk-mitm to automate that process.

httptoolkit uses the method they do because it was the easiest way to get setup to inspect everything. Its tedious to get every app setup to trust the user store.

yep, that's what I do. still seems to work here though. I'm scared to reboot
