Even though I use a different password for each service, I have no idea which service's password was compromised because my "main" gmail was included in this breach. Do I need to use https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords to manually test each password I have saved with that email?

Yes, you can use that or you can use the API. Some password managers are integrated with the API so they will do that for you.

Edit: I know at least 1Password and Bitwarden do that for you.

In my experience, HA stories of Postgres are always buggy and disappointing for homegrown systems. None of these tools actually gives you a solid HA like proprietary databases do. Managed database services can reduce or eliminate some of the problems, but you can't put critical parts of your system on the cloud.

What would you recommend instead?

Not willing to be the party pooper, but isn't htmx's appeal the simplicity of it?

I would expect it to be "done", or maybe could be refined with a couple more little things, but definitely not needing full-time dedication on making a version 2.0 or adding new features.

Aren't we going to end up with a new react?

I guess this is Apple's way to add Passkeys support into Chrome as well, for macOS users using Chrome, which is very common, or macOS users with an Android device.

Apple offers "Technical Support Incident" credits that you buy as a pack of x quantity. The idea being that devs can talk to a real human being. The support sucks. Frequently given non-answers and non-solutions, and have paid for the privilege of being given boilerplate copy-paste without them having actually read and understood the problem.

It's especially poor when you consider that publishing apps on Google Play means a one-off fee for your account, but publishing apps on Apple's App Store requires an annual subscription, with TSI credits on top of it.

At least you can say with Google that you get what you pay for in terms of support and experience (not much—it's passable), can't say the same for Apple.

Not really, you get 2 TSI credits included in the annually fee and I've only needed to use them once in 10 years for a really obscure problem I couldn't figure out. My experience with Apple support is that sometimes can be slow and frustrating but it works, unlike Google support.

Similar to Apple, I'd happily pay a yearly fee for better support with the Google developer program

Repeatedly submitting the same domain from the same account gets a penalty. How did they work around that? Sock puppet accounts and voting rings?

jgimenez · 2 years ago

Most likely they did that a bunch of times only, and with good content each time

Ok so, different take - if this what people call "gaming the system" I'm all for it.

All this article says is that hackernews likes interesting, informative posts that actually tell a real story. And I for one am here for that all day. So yes, everyone take this strategy and make great content.

But how long until someone misreads this and understands a ChatGPT-based bot is what they need, to summarize news and spam HN continuously?

jgimenez commented on 1Password 7 extension will stop working, must pay a subscription to upgrade support.1password.com/upg... · Posted by u/jgimenez

jgimenez · 2 years ago

I just opened the browser and got the news... 1Password 7 will no longer work with Chrome soon, so I should upgrade to 1Password 8.

So I'm not extremely thrilled because I purchased a software that was perfectly fine until someone decided it was not, but you could say that's the price of progress, maybe? What I hate is that a license purchase is no longer available. I must pay for a membership. And with it they're also removing the "standalone vaults", so the possibility of owning my data and storing it wherever I want. I must now upload all my passwords to the cloud.
