> hacked my Echo Show

Wowsers I did not know this was a thing; TIL, thanks!



I think they mean where does one sign up to this newsletter.

I'm knee-deep in the tech newsletter niche and I've never seen an official Tailwind newsletter. The only one I subscribe to is a small, unofficial weekly newsletter by Vivian Guillen:

https://tailwindweekly.com/

The only problem is that it seems to have stopped sending in October.


Also: https://github.com/PerditionC/VBAChromeDevProtocol

VBA (Excel) based wrapper for Chrome Developer Protocol (CDP) - sorta a VBA version of Puppeteer/Selenium


https://boxstarter.org has been working on this for a long time and might have some useful ideas.

Don't forget you can pay Simon to keep up with less!

> At the end of every month I send out a much shorter newsletter to anyone who sponsors me for $10 or more on GitHub

Maybe this is a good place to ask: what is the easiest way to use my own DNS entirely in user mode (not a server when I can't change which DNS is pointed to, since not an admin), a SOCKSv5 proxy?

It looks like this is possible with Chrome-based browsers using a command line flag (--host-resolver-rules) or in Firefox settings. Is there a better way?


If you are on Linux, install unbound and set your DNS server to localhost, done.

"private DNS". Configure your own (with ad blocking) on nextdns.

TIL: CVVDP is a full-reference video & image fidelity metric meant to simulate the human visual system to predict the perceived difference between two sources.

Tree Napper aka TENCEL™ per link above if anyone else was left wondering like me.

I could never figure out which gl-inet to get, since some of the newer products seemed less powerful than older ones depending on the product family or something...


> some of the newer products seemed less powerful than older ones

Cynic in me thinks it's because they don't want you to buy one product and be set for a decade, like HN-er here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46373387. Older products might've been too good.


Not sure if you're talking in the context of travel routers, but if you're not, the Flint 2 is always a solid pick.


I think the GL-X3000 could be the daddy for power users and any eventuality: https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-x3000/


This is a great idea: applying LLMs for the benefit of those I care about against the armies of tech company PhD's working to capture their attention.

Actually worth a shot, thanks!
