TurkishPoptart · 2 years ago
If I'm waking up in the middle of the night choking / gasping for air (happens 1x or 2x a week at this point) is that a symptom of sleep apnea? I'll try to talk to a doc about it but I want to make sure I'm on the same page as some of you.

Yes, you should get that checked out.

This is excellent news.

> At least two FIDO® Certified

I'm glad to see that they not only support, but require the use of multiple keys.

> iOS 16.3, iPadOS 16.3, or macOS Ventura 13.3, or later on all of the devices where you're signed in with your Apple ID.

and

> During set up, you're signed out of inactive devices, which are devices associated with your Apple ID that you haven't used or unlocked in more than 90 days. To sign back into these devices, update to compatible software and use a security key. If your device can't be updated to compatible software, you won't be able to sign back in.

I'm not ready to set this up, since I still use a few Big Sur and Monterey machines.

jtdressel commented on Plex: Important notice of a potential data breach    · Posted by u/Flollop

What's the best way to use unique emails. I get that Apple has the 'Hide my Email' feature but it's not clear to me how to best use it, especially outside of Apple ie. Where do I find a list of emails that it's created for me and what they were used for.

Temporary email services don't seem helpful either if you need to go through password reset processes or receive emails after the address has been removed.

Do people just use use custom domains with catch all addresses? Is this really the best way?

jtdressel · 4 years ago
Disclosure: I work at 1Password.

I used to use a catchall with my domain, but now I use our masked email feature. You need a 1Password account, and for fastmail to be your host.

https://1password.com/fastmail/

Depending on your settings, you can use your own domain (which is portable, but less anonymous) or you can generate *@fastmail.com addresses.

> I think the most common is CI and build automation

Common practice for CI is to actually run tests, though. How would you validate your macOS/iOS builds are functional without still requiring VMs or real hardware?

jtdressel · 4 years ago
You could use this in addition to regular macOS machines. You can run tests from un-trusted branches, without worrying that something will expose the signing keys.

Then after merging, you have a second machine / set of machines that only does signing. It increases the difficulty of an accidental or intentional leakage of your sensitive keys.

(Note: I have not tested this yet)

I'm really sad I missed the boat on Vanced by one day. I'd heard about it for a long time and randomly decided to finally start using it only to find all the download links had been removed the day before. Youtube ads have become horrendously annoying.

Does anyone know if the apks can be found on any archive site?

jtdressel · 4 years ago
I think this is it: https://apkpure.com/youtube-vanced/com.vanced.android.youtub...

I have not done any level of verification.

jtdressel commented on Ask HN: What are options to replace “G Suite legacy” when it's retired in May?    · Posted by u/doctoboggan
jstx1 · 4 years ago
Can anyone clarify what G Suite covers and what's being taken away? If you sign up for a free Google account, you can use free gmail/docs/sheets/drive etc - that's not going away, is it?
jtdressel · 4 years ago
I believe you lose gmail/docs/sheets.

Based on the below comment, I think you can keep some services like youtube and photos. That said, I strongly recommend every do regular google takeouts https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout?pli=1

Can I generate masked emails without fast mail? I already have a domain setup
jtdressel · 4 years ago
This feature is an integration with Fastmail's masked addresses. You don't need to use their domain, but you do need to use them as your email provider.

Hang on hot potatoes. I use 1Password. So are you saying I can generate a login that uses

myaccount+alias@mydomain.com

automatically?

jtdressel · 4 years ago
Settings -> Domains -> Team Settings -> Masked email domain.

Long time Fastmail and 1Pass user here. While I agree that it would be best to not be locked in to particular providers, these are two of the providers who have a lot of my trust and to whom I’m paid up years in advance (at least in Fastmails case). Very excited to use this feature.
jtdressel · 4 years ago
Thanks for the vote of confidence! If you have a custom domain at fastmail you can avoid any lock-in by using it for your masked addresses. Settings -> Domains -> Team Settings -> Masked email domain.

With that it's entirely portable. You can point your mx records at any other provider.

as someone who is not familiar with this world (but takes deep interest in (n)etiquette), would someone be willing to do a quick breakdown of ham netiquette, "being neighborly", fears of encryption and how abuse is managed in the ham world?

i ask because maybe there are some learnings and lessons there that could apply to internet policy today.

it sounds like certain things, like anonymity, are banned? there's some sort of community policing? i'm super curious.

jtdressel · 5 years ago
I don't have a lot of time, but this was an interesting question. If you message me I'll dig up references. There are nuances and exceptions to almost everything I list below.

The radio spectrum is a scarce resource. Two of the main reasons amateur radio users are given access to the spectrum is to help with disaster recovery and to advance the art and science of radio.

Callsigns are public - you can look up anyone's to see who they are.

You're required to give your callsign at the end of your transmission, and every 10 minutes.

There are some limitations on content. No music, no profanity, no commercial uses, and no encryption.

netiquette varies based on what you are doing. In general, shorter range bands have better sound quality and are more casual. Longer range has worse sound quality (or no sound like morse or ft8).

If you're on one of the shorter range bands (e.g. 70cm) you'll often find people who are keeping in touch with friends, or just looking for someone to talk to.

On the longer range, you'll run into stuff like contests - all the other person wants to know is who you are, and where you are. They're trying to see either how many contacts they can make in a period of time or how far away they're able to make contacts.

There are "formal traffic" nets - which pass messages. Local nets will route traffic they can't deliver to regional nets, and then back down to local nets. Usually they just pass practice traffic around - until a disaster occurs and they are needed. More info https://www.arrl.org/nts-manual

The lowest level license is the Technician. You can find the Technician exam pool online in several formats. https://www.arrl.org/files/file/VEs/2018-2022%20Tech%20Class...

Edit: I forgot about you abuse question. Hams tend to police their own or will work with the FCC to report people misusing the airwaves. The practice version of this is called "fox hunting" - where someone places a transmitter and you try to find it.

Most hams care about keeping the hobby alive. If they find someone who's broadcasting with too much power or without a license usually they'll try to work with that person to correct the behavior. If that doesn't work, they'll often work with the FCC.
