alligatorplum | 1 year ago | on: Show HN: Securityblogs.xyz – A simple feed of security blogs
I wanted to show a project that I worked on last week. securityblogs.xyz is a simple website that aggregates a bunch of news sites and blogs and displays it on a single page. I have been trying to learn Go and used HTML templating to generate the html page for the site.
Feel free to raise a new issue [1] if you would like to add a new source to the site.

As an aside, it'll be interesting to see what license he open sources it under.

alligatorplum | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Have you experienced “hiring fraud?”
I have a friend who had someone else go through the interview process for him and ended up getting hired at one of the top 10 largest banks in US. Not only that, but because he was grossly under qualified for this job, he hired someone to teach him how to do his job. He works his normal 8-5, then he screen shares with this guy and they work together to complete his tasks. I'm a bit surprised that this worked and that they still haven't caught on, he has been working there for 8-10 months now. He has been sharing company intellectual property of a top US bank to foreigners for 8-10 months. The saddest part about this is that, he isn't a dumb, he is knowledgeable enough to get a decent job without cheating. In fact he has worked, both legally and ethically, for reputable companies.

I also found this tidbit pretty funny.
> The legislation has been under development for more than a decade, but an agreement on its scope was reached this morning following negotiations between different EU bodies.
> The EU denies this will be the case, and says it will update the legislation as new technology is developed. > “Don’t think we’re setting something in stone for the next 10 years,” said Breton at the press conference.

alligatorplum | 3 years ago | on: What are your most used self-hosted applications?
Pi-Hole and bitwarden are simple enough applications that you can host both of them on a pi. Plus there are plenty of guides available online to guide you thru the process if you do get stuck.
I got started with self-hosting pi-hole on a raspberry pi myself.
alligatorplum | 3 years ago | on: California considers a shortened, 32-hour workweek for larger companies
The article mentions that there won't be any pay cuts, and that might be true for the current employees but for new employees the companies will just adjust (read: cut) pay to 32hr weeks.
I am also struggling to see how they plan on keeping track of this "no pay cut".

alligatorplum | 4 years ago | on: If Google sucks then why is everyone still using it?
One of google search's biggest advantages is the ability to save a click for the user. If I search for "NCAA scores" google will show me the live scores directly instead of showing me a link to the ncaa website which also shows me the score but at the expense of me having to click on the link.
IMO, the right way to dethrone google search would be to have better (or more) QOL features.
