That reminds me, it's about time to renew my VSCode license. If I knew it would be so high maintenance, I never would have paid for the three-year plan.

At least for me, even with adblock turned off it still doesn't appear. Thank you for reposting!
i13e | 2 years ago | on: Show HN: I made an app that consolidated 18 apps (doc, sheet, form, site, chat…)
This looks really cool! I tried to sign up but it doesn't seem to be sending out verification emails right now. Will give it another go a bit later

If you remove the context of this quote, "The best service is no service" is a wild thing to hear from a car manufacturer. Did anyone proofread this?

Instead of speaking about his right to do this or not, I think this conversation should be about the rise in C-suite executive compensation and Jack Welch style business decisions.

pre-commit more or less does this. When you install locally as a git hook it will only test on changes that are being committed.

You should submit these rules to https://letsblock.it ! AFAIK their distractions rules really only cover YouTube

i13e | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: How to protect against endless SSH login attempts to my server?
I would recommend changing the default port of your SSH connection from 22 to anything else and running a tarpit such as endlessh. This is a great video on setting that up:
i13e | 3 years ago | on: A math problem generator
I think the coolest thing about this tool that I haven't seen mentioned yet is randomizing homework and tests for students on pen and paper without an expensive web platform. This completely eliminates cheating in a math class. Would some sample AI generated text for problems be nice? Sure. But this is the bulk of the work already done IMO.

Their official update from last night:
"On Dec 11 at 7:30 PST, our main database crashed & corrupted some of the data. This is unplanned & we've been working around the clock to restore it. It's a painstakingly slow process given the scale of data. We unfortunately have no ETA but we're doing everything we can."

i13e | 3 years ago | on: Btrfs in Linux 6.2 brings performance improvements, better RAID 5/6 reliability
I use BTRFS on my laptop and in case anyone is interested in trying it, please be sure you know how to chroot into the system in case it won't start. Arch Linux had a problematic GRUB package pushed to stable a few months ago and it bricked people's computers by booting directly to the BIOS. Whatever you do, make sure to take notes on the configuration (if it is DIY) because there are many difference between BTRFS and EXT4, so you can't use a normal chroot guide to fix your system.
