It seems that some sources take the phrase "source code leak" too literally - as in, the entire 270GB is just _source code_, that's of course wrong. Also, some even haven't noticed that the leak isn't just their source code repositories, it's actually repositories with the entire Git history (.git subfolder), which does seem to end at late January for some of the bigger repos, making the date quite accurate.

Another thing to note is that apparently multiple repositories have private information like addresses or phone numbers.

As for the leak itself, download at your own discretion, but from the looks of it they're just harmless tar archives of repositories: https://files.catbox.moe/ez1ncr.txt

The 98 code is so old that GitHub in the mobile browser is unable to render it. (Seriously, I was interested but it does not work)

It is a 72 page pdf, I could download it and read.

I was born in China and my family runs factories here for many years.

What you mentioned is true, the absolute majority of the supply chain of the big name companies are still in China, and many of the alternatives in Vietnam are somehow managed by PRC background capital.

However, it’s absolutely a good start. The eco mic crisis raising in China will be like the 1930s in US, if not worse. My family are actively searching for ways to selling out everything and move out the country but it’s clearly prohibited by the Gov. We are worrying it will eventually becomes a new Third Reich in near future, when the supply chain will be completely destroyed.

Can you say more on why your family is trying to sell their factory.

Does the Zero Covid policy or the power crisis (because of China stopping the import of coal from Australia) has anything to do with it.

I'm on Wellbutrin (lowest dose) and it works great. I have no side effects whatsoever. Been on it since 2019. It's kept my depression in check and even helps with my ADHD a little. They say you can't drink alcohol with it, but I binge drink every weekend (I really love alcohol) with no problems.

SSRIs were an absolute train-wreck to be on; they made me angry and violent. I was on them for 10 years and I honestly don't believe it ever helped against depression. If I missed 1 day, I'd get the infamous "brain zaps". It took me about 3 months to taper off the damn things and it was a brutal 3 months. The last one was in October 2012 and I will never take them again. I did not experience any increase in depression either, so that makes a stronger case for them basically be worthless for me.

How long did it take for Wellbutrin to work for you. I was on it for 2 months, it didn`t help, so I stopped.

I have yet to jump to lineage with the 5T, does it run well? I've had so many phones have glitches like random reboots etc. before, I'm hesitant.

ssvss · 3 years ago

I have been running lineage for more than a year in my OP5, I don't face any issues with it. I don't use microg. I have also rooted it with magisk, so that banking apps will work.

My two cents for FF about:config changes:

1. disable Fullscreen "XY is now Fullscreen" text. Set full-screen-api.warning.timeout to 0 2. disable Alt key: set ui.key.menuAccessKeyFocuses to false 3. don't select space after double clicking a word (together with auto highlight selection addon very nice for skimming code in browser like GH): set layout.word_select.eat_space_to_next_word to false 4. reduce forced wait when downloading a file (Download button in small FF-modal takes time to enable/activate, hard to explain, but annoying) : set security.dialog_enable_delay to 300ms 5. disable "This Connection is not Secure" Warning in (for pages like fritz.box together with XCkeepass very annoying) security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled

Can you provide a link to this addon. Couldn't find it.

ssvss commented on Tell HN: I got 10x Hetzner storage at the same price · Posted by u/lovelearning

freefaler · 4 years ago

I've used them for more than 15 years. Their business model started and still is to some degree desktop grade components for cheap servers and they've also added more server-grade components/systems in the last years. Generally their service is good, but there are some tradeoffs. With Hetzner it's mostly network redundancy and sometimes power. I have some experience with DC design and one of the most expensive and rarely used part is creating a fully redundant network layer. You're basically investing for something that you'd use rarely and most clients won't treat is as a differentiation to pay more for it. So even if you get some downtime you won't lose that many clients in the long run. If you are cost conscious and know how to manage your servers you can get a very good value for money with them. A mix of bare metal and some VMs can give you HA and performance. There are some downsides, some protocols are filtered on the network level locally so it may be more tricky to build a fully HA solution, but still it's much better than OVH, their only true competitor currently. Also, they have a Finland DC now, so off-site backups are possible. And the price structure is predictable and you won't get that emotional high of getting those damn AWS bills that always grow.

Can you say more on how Hetzner is better the OVH.

Thanks, just to let you know, yes, it does have an opensearch description. But in practical terms that doesn't help much even if a startup search engine adds it.

Unfortunately, while OpenSearch is great where it's supported, outside of Firefox, the only real support is for in-site-search on other platforms (where you type a site name and then a search string), and not for changing your browser search engine. And it doesn't work at all on iOS even for site search.

So unfortunately it doesn't fix the problem of how a consumer can easily change their search engine to something new on Chrome or Safari or an iPhone.

I don't want to sidetrack the discussion, but if you want to confirm the opensearch description, you can open our site in Firefox, then click the "..." in the browser address bar and then click "Install Andi Search". Or reach out and very happy to talk you through it.

ssvss · 4 years ago

I am using firefox (windows 10), I don't see the "..." in the browser address bar.

Edit: When I click the address bar, I see an small "A" icon in the bottom row. When I hower over it, it shows "install Andi search".

I just did this Magic Trackpad thing on mine, I really like it. It's in the perfect location.

Split hands though? Bluetooth? This is an instant-buy for me.

I had this setup for a while, but I had a habit of moving just the index finger, instead of the whole wrist. This caused some inflammation/swelling in the cartilage/muscle between the index and middle finger, so I had to abandon the setup.
