Ask HN: What is the most impactful thing you've ever built?
My most impactful project was definitely NoCoin [0], the first web miner blocker. Back when Monero miners started appearing and sneakily mining on pages, like The Pirate Bay for example, I decided to throw together a browser extension that would simply block requests to the resources that hosted these mining scripts. The project was in no way a technical achievement, it was simply intercepting requests and blocking them based on a list. I could have very well added the resources to some other project like uBlock origin. But it got traction, ended up in the press (WIRED, Motherboard, Gizmodo) and ultimately started being integrated within browsers (Opera was first) and most of the popular ad blockers. The project lost its relevance as everyone else was doing it better and maintaining the list of blocked resources was too time consuming for me. Nevertheless, the goal was achieved, which was to "get rid" of crypto mining on the web. The mission got carried by bigger actors, which brings me more satisfaction than the popularity of the project.
Another impactful project of mine was also a browser extension. Internal tool that started as a lunch time project to make my team's life easier. Can't go in detail on that one, but basically they liked it and start suggesting improvements. So did a department that was working with us. And bit by bit, it became a really useful tool that became standard in these departments. Last I heard, the tool is now deployed company-wide. Crazy to think it started just from some lunch time hacking :-)

Nonprofit Websites Are Full of Trackers. That Should Change.
Which in of itself is not a huge dealbreaker since the code is open source and can be found Here, unfortunately after reading their GitHub they are no longer supporting the extension (which makes sense since browsers can stop most mining activity nowadays)

Genuine tip, lots of those sites use your computer to mine bitcoin. If you download a browser extension like No Coin, the videos load a lot faster. Can't verify it for every site, but when it works, it works.

ISP charging $14/mth for ethernet capability. A new ISP is coming to my apt complex, with a new utility bill that I cannot refuse. They installed a modem/router in my unit with ethernet out. Is there some way I might bypass this insane fee?
The inspiration is the EAP Proxy that I used to bypass the AT&T router and connect my router to the AT&T fiber, before I learned about the vulnerability that allowed me to copy the 802.1x certificate from the AT&T router to my router. https://github.com/jaysoffian/eap_proxy

Fiber speed recommendation
I use an EAP proxy to put my router in front of theirs and got a %20 speed improvement.

Ask HN: What is the most impactful thing you've ever built?
With my wife, I built two kids both in college now. That's definitely the most impactful.
In the online world, I've contributed bits and pieces to open-source here and there as far back as the late 90s. I think my first contribution was to the shadow package, but I've contributed here and there to Apache, Radius, random packages that I use that I discover bugs in, etc.
A python script I wrote to allow folks to bypass AT&T's residential gateway was used by more people than I ever expected:

ELI5: Why is 1000mbps internet only guaranteed at 900mbps and what's the equipment needed to get the 1000mbps advertised?
There are forum threads about people rooting these routers to try and extract the certificate/private keys from their provided router, which worked for a limited time with certain router models. For now, the most popular way to do it is with a tool like this: https://github.com/jaysoffian/eap_proxy

ATT Fiber modem options
If you use a Ubiquiti router, then another method to bypass your ATT router is called EAP Proxy.

Just Got AT&T Fiber and their router. No longer can access Plex remotely.
WEEELLLLLL, there is a way to get into a true bridge mode on some ATT fiber plans/service by using something like EAP-Proxy: https://github.com/jaysoffian/eap_proxy

Does att let you use our own modem and router or we have to use theres ?
If you're up for a more complex setup, it is possible to put your home network on AT&T Fiber without going through their boarder gateway. I've had luck using https://github.com/jaysoffian/eap_proxy to bypass the boarder gateway for traffic flows.

What are some alternatives?
BetterViewer - a replacement for the image viewing mode built into Firefox and Chrome-based web browsers.
pfatt - Enable true bridge mode for AT&T U-Verse and pfSense (this is a fork of an original repository https://github.com/aus/pfatt. Since it is not available anymore, I'll do my best to maintain a copy for people that still need a bypass)
