The site's cert expired yesterday.

Thanks, fixed.

I wrote a little script to constantly check for open appointments on ICBC (for license and motorcycle driving test slots). Has come in handy a few times already since usually everything is booked up months in advance. With this I usually find something much sooner within a few hours of running the script. https://gitlab.com/charsi/icbc-appointment-checker

oh, bless you. icbc is a nightmare sometimes

I am on a thinkpad using an external thunderbolt monitor with several peripherals linked to it. No sweat at all. Never had to install drivers for anything, webcam, wifi, bluetooth etc all works. Linux mint has been rock solid. I've gone through three major OS updates without anything breaking.

With a .editorconfig[1] file with the correct configs you can get most code editors to insert spaces instead of tabs.

What configuration is necessary for editors to insert spaces in code like this:

If HN mangles the link, it is the addition of the `key_create` function in this thread: https://lore.kernel.org/keyrings/20221109025019.1855-2-linux...

Also look at `yq` - https://github.com/mikefarah/yq

This is a wrapper to jq that also supports yaml and other file formats.

MongoDB has been using something similar for a little while now - https://www.mongodb.com/developer/products/mongodb/srv-conne...

Just disable javascript in ublock origin for the site and you don't have to even worry about clicking anything. Lots of news sites deliver the content and then try to block access to it using javascript.

You don't need uBo to block JavaScript, you can do that right in the browser.

But often blocking JS means parts of the article don't display or the site breaks in other ways. Washington Post for example only shows blurry placeholder photos with JS off.

The kill-sticky or the element zapper in uBo can sometimes do what blocking JS cannot.

Isn't whatbox.ca mainly aimed at hosting seedboxes? They are accordingly higher priced than a VPN. Whats the rationale for using them as a VPN ?

1) It’s the only VPN that worked in areas where they work hard to block most VPNs

2) it’s still not very expensive

3) it’s absurdly fast for a “VPN”! Like 400Mbit symmetric.

4) I also use it as a seedbox. Speaking of…does anyone have an invitation a private tracker to replace what.cd because I miss that. Or a no/low compression movie tracker.

vlc can play youtube links so you just need to open the m3u file in vlc if you don't want to download.

I use `git push -o ci.skip` all the time. Also things like ci.variable="DEPLOY_MODE=QUICK" is super handy when I do want to run a deploy in a specific configuration.
