Nitter Is Dead

Something peculiar in my 2yo's bedroom led me to a revelation about our universe
Most of the time you can just replace twitter.com with nitter.net or nitter.it but when these instances are down or blocked you can use other instances listed here: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances
But as the other commenter said Libredirect is the way to go: https://libredirect.github.io/

YouTube is loading slower for users with ad blockers yet again
Use a Youtube proxy like Invidious [1], problem solved and you get to subscribe to channels without telling the Beast about your interests. Add Sponsorblock (which supports Invidious) to get rid of any in-stream advertising which remains and you'll be transported back to those hallowed times of yore when men were men, women were women and advertising was something you found in newspapers. Youtube will try to make this harder just like Xitter is trying to make it harder to use proxies like Nitter [2].

Nitter.net Has Disappeared
@lukefromdc @stopmotio someone filed a complaint to Njalla about unconsensual nudity being hosted on nitter.net, with a link that actually came from another instance.
I didn't think much of it when I got an email with the subject "Njalla: New Message", and the body just being a link, while traveling.
https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1150#issuecomment-18...
Extremely not-encouraging. This is not what I would call professional behavior by Njalla.
nitter.net is unavailable because Njalla (domain vendor) suspended my account. I'm waiting for them to respond.
https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1150#issuecomment-18...
That is extremely disturbing. Njalla is the owner-of-record (i.e. nominee) for all domains registered through them, rather than merely the registrar. If they run off with your domain you have significantly fewer options for dealing with it than with any other registrar.
I expected better than "shoot first ask questions later" from them. At least shoot while asking the questions; the owner should've had an explanation for the suspension waiting in their inbox.
njal.la restored nitter.net, and replied with their reasons: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1150#issuecomment-18...
tbh I can totally understand why they acted this way.

Ubuntu on the ThinkPad X13s Review
> To my surprise the fingerprint reader works well and I can enroll my fingers! It even unlocks the system the system at the login screen too!
well, shit, that's better than my Thinkpad X1 on Ubuntu where they never worked
I actually came very close to getting that exact same setup (from the Amazon Refreshed store) but waved it off because I could not get Chrome (not -ium, I mean the real one) nor Zoom which for doing worky stuff is "well, good luck". Yes, I'm aware one can join zoom meetings from the browser but with eyes toward that "chromIUM" part I felt it would be really, really rolling the dice, and that's before I knew that the webcam doesn't work
there have been a few other threads on this, but it's great to have a more recent version: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=thinkpad+x13s
You may already be aware of this, but the T14s is "just another" Intel box, whereas the X13s is Snapdragon/arm64. I despise the random nomenclature of their product lines for that very reason. But IMHO a blog post about Ubuntu on more Intel stuff would not make the front page versus "here's the current state of arm64 on the desktop" is something I have keen interest in. I still have high hopes someone is going to have better luck with Microsoft's Dev Kit since it comes with a lot more ram (recently https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35757277 et al https://hn.algolia.com/?query=windows%20dev%20kit )

Ask HN: What are some not widely-known computer programming publishers?
Self publishing is free. If you’re talking about getting printed copies in bookstores, you’re technically correct about their being better at marketing but believe me, they expect you to do the bulk of that too.
Take a look at some of these articles:

Ask HN: Why no browser-based E2E encryption?
Perhaps search hnn for "cryptocat" which was an attempt to do e2e chat through a website a dozen years ago. It was somewhat controversial at the time.
https://hn.algolia.com/?q=cryptcat
The author gave up on it after a while and the website stopped working.

Stashpad launches Google Docs alternative you can use without any login
There once was an incredibly nice product like this called hackpad. It even had a similar theme IIRC. It was a yc company, lovely polished product, and the folks I was founding a startup with loved it with zero effort spent on convincing them.
10 years ago Dropbox bought it and shut it down.

DBOS Operating System
look, I know this thing is obviously the second coming, or new sliced bread or something, but the dupes are just out of control: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=dbos and that's not even counting the submissions of blog posts about their hot new thing from the employees
We got it, it's awesome, stop making NEW THREADS where everyone who wasn't in the first 500 of these submissions posts the same things

Tal is the programming language for the Uxn virtual machine
Using a stack as input and a stack as output reminds me of the POP-11 language.
A high level value stack available as an input is a truly different way to code.
