Ask HN: Build Own PC in 2023?
6 months in to my first pc build. had one other pc for past 2 years from letsbld.
the build is easy, but it will take a full day. it is also a bit nerve racking, but mostly that’s just inexperience. parts are all sturdy and snap together. i will be building every nvidia generation from now on.
i used to code on laptops, then game on a pc. now i have to ssds, one windows one linux. bios boot option is unborkable. it’s a great setup.
it’s nice to be able to play fortnite, compile the linux kernel[1], and do gamedev[2] all in a single session.
be aware ddr5 amd boards boot kind of slow. i’ve heard intel is faster.
if you can afford it, go god spec. otherwise spec down into your price range. letsbld and originpc have good configurators to choose parts. newegg prices will be 30% less.
check out fractal torrent cases and dh15 coolers! 4090 fe fits in the nano and 4090 pny fits in the compact.

Cloud, Why So Difficult?
learning cloud is not necessarily using cloud for all things.
cloud adds legitimate new capabilities to every engineer.
if i’m on coffeeshop wifi with my low power laptop, and i need to do something intense like compile linux, i’m sol.
unless i know aws. then i can open a new terminal, spin up a massive spot instance for 19.27 minutes, get that done, then self destruct. [1]
being able to test lambda to s3 io, or ec2 to s3 io, with the same ease one uses grep and sed, is for great good. also it’s fun.

NitroKey Disappoints Me
you jest, but this is actually fine.
do this via mighty-snitch[1] on any postmarketos phone. any network request passing through the linux kernel gets filtered.
still hosed if it’s hardware level nonsense unfortunately.
the only reason i’m not daily driving postmarketos if lack of gpu acceleration for firefox. hopefully soon!

Ask HN: What do you do for online privacy?
use a network snitch[1] on desktop and mobile. The original slogan says it all: makes the invisible visible. i’d love to use a disk snitch too, but no exist yet afaik.
it’s interesting to see firefox or any other legitimate app i’m using make many unsolicited requests to weird domains. it feels good to interactively deny those connections.
make sure that cloud[2], which includes git hosts[3], are untrusted. unencrypted data should never hit remote. keys should never leave local.
consider the tradeoffs with online interactions. engaging with other humans in public on github and hackernews is likely worth. engaging in impassioned op-ed debate with bots on engagement monetization platforms like twitter or youtube is likely not.

It's getting hard to use and recommend Firefox, I'm afraid for the free web
Re: firefox and privacy, if you want to use firefox for privacy, consider using https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js . There is a case to be made that Firefox (with arkenfox's user.js) is one of the best privacy-respecting but still fairly usable browsers.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
For extensions, I recommend people follow the recommendations[1] in the arkenfox repo and either harden their firefox or use librewolf. Umatrix is unmaintained since 2019.

Waterfox G6.0.2 had whitelisted search deal partner www.bing.com against user extensions in extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains
If you make time to dig through settings and change them away from their official use (99% of users don't), then you should use a customized setup (in this case, a user.js). That way, you're good to go no matter what Firefox fork you use.

Google Chrome just rolled out a new way to track you and serve ads
> Firefox remains a stable option to come back to everytime
Don't get me wrong, I've been using Firefox for the last decade and I don't intend on using anything else for the foreseeable future, but Mozilla has no idea what they're doing with Firefox nowadays. Firefox View is the most useless thing I've ever seen, that expiring "independent voices" theme picker was some weird hippie stunt[1], the latest UI redesign which split the tab from the window looks hideous, and it's not like Firefox doesn't have things you can tweak for a more private experience[2]. I miss Firefox Test Pilot where they tried out different new features, I found a lot of them to be very useful but sadly lots of them didn't make it.

I don't understand what's so good about Firefox
Like others have said you can customize the browser to the point that it doesn't even look like the default anymore. Or customize it to maximize privacy.
