That was a sleek demo, good job! Only thing that I could nitpick is if you polished your floating toolbars to look a bit more Apple-y, this feels like something Apple is going to be sending you an acquihire for.


Thank you - you’re right, I should Liquid Glassify that app asap


Look into Sponsor Block as well.


and also "dearrow" for good measure. it replaces the titles and thumbnails with something less sensational. not having to look at those stupid faces that youtubers make is a big plus as well

the freetube app has both of those extensions built in. you just have to enable them in the settings


Your company has a user pool, you sign a BAA or start working with a partner company that has their user pool. Instead of creating slack accounts in both you can share external slack rooms that only people that are invited in/from their respective orgs can join without having to co-mingle employee user pools.


But why would external partners want to look at your code? I guess if you're also integrating with them? But generally you just give them repo access instead. For Slack, it's different as messaging is a core feature to collaborate between different people in different companies, but looking at code is a very specific use case.


Not sure, I was only answering in regards as to what Slack shared rooms brings to the table for companies in the form of letting Project Managers/Account Managers have direct line of contact with clients.

Code wise I guess you can could be working with any agency or contractors and you could collab on PR reviews? No idea to be honest.


I had never seen Jeff's posts pop up on HN prior to this year and only learned of him via YouTube r/homelab content. Scrolling through the hn search his domain has had plenty of posts over the years, but his content has now become stickier and/or the audience has changed?


He shares the title of "SBC Guy" with ExplainingComputers. Any time a new single-board computer comes out, especially a Raspberry Pi, they make videos with benchmarks etc. etc.


I took too long to write my comment, you beat me to the punch. I didn't plagiarise your comment, but I do largely agree!


He's definitely got brand recognition. He's THE guy for Raspberry Pi and SBC stuff. I'd suspect more people would recognise him then Ebon Upton nowadays. Not ignoring the other stuff he's done, but anyone into Pi/SBC will know him.

Honourable mentions to ExplainingComputers and "Platima Tinkers".

Just got Elonized by you


My sincerest apologies to Eben. I don't know how I flubbed that, as I opened another tab and searched for him so I knew I'd get the spelling of his surname right. A fellow Welshman and everything! I am suitably embarrassed.

This is completely uncalled for even if you disagree with his views. It's barely on topic at best (probably best avoided altogether because there's unlikely to be productive discussion here), but if you must then the correct way to do it is to say what his views are, and explain why you think they are wrong. It's not ok to call someone "a freaky little neo-nazi religious nut".


> but if you must then the correct way to do it is to say what his views are

I did. Read the end of the sentence you quoted. It's a snapshot of his hateful views. There is, however, breadth and depth to his hate. Which is I directed you a few good keywords to search his own words in context to get a taste.

I'd say take my word for it and don't waste your time. But it's your time, bud.


I tried searching, and his words seem to be the opposite of what you've said:

https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2006/wives-submit-your-hus...

> Is he telling us that wives should do what they're told and that husbands can lord it over their wives? On the contrary! He speaks here about a special kind of love (married love) in which there is mutual subjection, meaning that both the husband and the wife should treat each other as equals

https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2009/catholic-action-netwo...

> Is discrimination and hatred against homosexuals wrong? Of course—these people are human beings with the gift of God's love, just like you and me! However, endorsing their lifestyle is something the Church will never be able to do, for their actions (which can be judged) are opposed to the Church's fundamental teachings about human sexuality and complementarity.

Where exactly is he saying to hate gay people and that women are owned by their husbands? Were those the posts you were referencing?

Note that elsewhere he also says that natural family planning is not endorsed by the church if done for frivolous reasons:

https://www.jeffgeerling.com/articles/religion/nfp-and-contr...

> The Church allows the use of Natural Family Planning for couples wishing to space out births, but only for serious reasons. A precondition to a couple using NFP is that they act not out of a selfish desire (i.e. the couple wants to have a lot of fun together, and a child would 'put a damper' on their fun), but "in conformity with the generosity appropriate to responsible parenthood" [CCC 2368]

So married hetero couples who don't even use any form of contraception, but abstain during certain times of the month because they don't want kids for lifestyle reasons are apparently opposed to the church's teachings too. Presumably he doesn't hate such people.

So is there something more hateful here? I'm seeing 15-20 year old blog posts with a few paragraphs explaining what the Catholic position on this stuff is in an almost neutral/academic tone. Where's the neo-nazi religious nut stuff?


He's a former minister who graduated college in Bible studies. As unpalatable it might be to you, his views are perfectly in line with a strong christian believer from the midwest. So I don't really see a need to bring that up when we're discussing his technical videos. It's not like he lectures you about abortion at the end of a raspberry pi video...


I disagree. Someone with these views on humanity should not have a platform. They should be shamed and shunned. They should not be an "influencer" (however minor).

Look, I grew up in a cult too (the Baptist flavor). I also grew out of it mostly unscathed. He's a grown-ass man that still believes these truly heinous things. He has not grown as person. Or addressed his ignorance. And he's never retracted or apologized for his hateful views.

Which... it's his right. He can be an asshole. But people should be informed and, like I said, he should be shunned and shamed.


No one should be shunned and shamed for their worldview.

As wrong as they may be, shunning and shaming are also wrong-headed (in my worldview).

Edit: I think it's fine to respectfully share your concerns about him though.


I'd say read some history on effective non-carceral and non-violent ways to deal with hateful people: shunning and shaming is the best option. It lets hateful people live their lives in a bubble if that's what they want. But also gives them a chance to address their abhorrent views, make amends, and become part of a large community again.

But you have to understand history to know that.


How did shunning and shaming 40% of the US population over the last 4 years work out?


Hmm, it never worked well for me. People just get more entrenched and resentful? What I have found works is to try and find some common ground and build up some level of mutual respect from there.

For example, I also grew up in a cult of southern baptist flavour. I've seen some fucked up shit too. Where the cult was a majority, they did a lot of shunning and shaming and that sucked. I just don't think that's right.


And why should we make the effort when they make none?

Rule of the biggest tribe with the biggest sticks still applies even today I suppose.

But one day...religion is dying out, slowly but surely. I can't wait for the day when the religious have to face what they dished out. I have no patience to teach people that who I am isn't worthy of death or admonishment again and again.


You cannot find common ground with someone whose world view is you are a subhuman worthy of slavery or death.


yelling at idiots idiots never work. Doing so imprint a snapshot of whatever they were doing deeper into their brains. Our brains take intersections of the zipped archives of situation logs and turn that into reproducible scripted acts. Negative emotions associated with the memory won't help the brain unlearn undesired behaviors, it just makes us sadder or angrier at scripted points.

A better, but painful, way is to somehow break the chain of undesired acts until they would be obsessed with better things to do.

Maybe there are even better ways at it and I'm mostly wrong about this - I had never taken any training to be a behavioral scientist - but my point is, point-and-screaming wrong things someone did never goes well.


But aren't you shunning OP for their view that his homophobia and misogyny is wrong and he shouldn't be supported for that reason?

As a gay man I was looking forward to reading this article because the topic sounds interesting. I'll go to war about this every chance I get.

Oh, so good religion is to hate gays, fine. Well my religion is to hate Christians and I'll secretly support and lobby for their rights to be taken away, I'll lend my voice to all the others so we can shout that Christians should not exist. Fair is fair, right?


It’s the new reality. CEO of proton says something nice about Trump? Facist! Framework is interested in DHH’s work? Cancelled! And there are countless of these example (ie in the Nix community).

As if nothing good they did matters anymore.

There seem to be a lot of people just digging to find dirt on anyone and shame anyone in their vicinity. People that don’t do anything good themselves often.


There are lines you should not cross if you want to not support Nazis. It's actually a really bright line, and supporting Trump or DHH given his recent very public posts about his white supremacy shows that you are basically not a person who is affected by the problems both of those people create when you say "as if nothing good they did matters anymore" - simply put once you throw in with a white supremacist your reputation is going to be exploded into tatters, there's no "oopsie" about it.


Idk, it’s more subtle. I bet you couldn’t use Linux anymore because probably some horrible devs contributed to it.

What irks me most is the the second order shaming of parties likes Framework and Proton.


If you organize your folders correctly, you could probably have that dropbox folder synced with one of those services. The maintenance isn't too bad once its up and running, probably more hurdles (proxies, etc) if you are accessing outside the home. If you are the only user, you can use tailscale to access your hosted apps when out of the home.


> we were literally trying to help cure cancer lol

Project Ronin?


Not sure if it happens to most, but I have looped back around to not wanting to play sysadmin at home. Most of the stuff I have running I haven't updated in a awhile, luckily since I own it and it's all internal I don't need to worry about anyone taking away my locally hosted apps. Thank the IT gods for docker compose, and tools like portainer to minimize the amount of fuddling around I have to do.


That, and I've learned the stuff I need to from my homelab. Earlier in my career, setting up a light version of a production network at home was hugely educational and I think it was a large part of why I'm a senior today. But now, I don't need to run all that at home unless I have specific learning objectives. So I keep my home network a lot simpler than it used to be, as a result.


Same, replaced the ISP router with my own and have a single box which has storage and compute for running VMs and NFS and that is it. Last thing I want to be doing on a Friday night is debugging why my home network is broken.


A handful of comments already alluded to it, but maybe YC startups aren’t as smart as they think they are when they are looking for their founding engineers. Especially when it’s just the two founders looking for find their early engineers and the one holding the mba is the one leading/hiring. East to dupe these folks early on?


I miss waiting in that large invite queue until you were finally let in, what felt like the first inbox zero proponents and possibly(?) introducing the swiping rows with different actions depending how much you swiped.


And, you could reorder the emails inside your inbox!
