• Authenticate Ghost Subscribers Through API

  Unlock is a great decentralized tool that doesn't require members to be familiar with web3 to get started. Source: about 1 year ago

• Crypto bros

  This is exactly how something like Unlock Protocol works. Source: over 1 year ago

• Insider Trading in Cryptocurrency Markets

  I'll name you several. Copied from another reply I made, here's some projects to check out: - Lens Protocol [https://lens.xyz/ (one example implementation: https://lenster.xyz/)] is an early social network built on top of Polygon. - Farcaster [https://farcaster.xyz/] is another one, that takes a more hybrid approach of using Ethereum for trustless identity, but stores social stuff in a "sufficiently decentralized"... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• On Anti-Crypto Toxicity

  If you haven't seen it, you were not interested in looking and I doubt that any "evangelist" is going to change your mind. Anyway, if you are honestly open to change your mind, go take a look at ENS domains [0] and unlock protocol [1]. Both of these are applications that use NFTs "properly", and allow us to do things that are currently possible only with a central authority.

• Open source Patreon-style thingy

  If you want to go with the crypto route, that's the main goal of Unlock Protocol. It's basically one of the first use cases (beyond ENS domains) where NFTs actually make sense. Source: about 2 years ago

• TIL: You can open man or info pages in Firefox by man:<page> or info:<page>

  Addendum from https://mastodon.social/@mofosyne/112385581085525369 Turns out that it's because KHelpCenter in some linux distros hooks to these uris. So typing this uri would autoopen these man entries in KHelpCenter. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Systemd Rolling Out "run0" As sudo Alternative

  Good news! Run0 will use polkit[1], which uses JavaScript for its rules[2], so there's no limit on how complex your rules can get! On the other hand, maybe adding a JavaScript interpreter to Linux's trusted computing base isn't such good news...

• TfL's simple pop-up message led to a significant drop in paper ticket sales

  Apparently there are some stations which still have ticket gates, but I haven't seen any in the rather short time I've been in the Netherlands - they seem to be concentrated in metropolitan areas[1], and I've only been in the somewhat more rural[2] province of Limburg. As it happens, though, I have never actually used the OV-chipcard myself, as I always use an Interrail pass when travelling any further than... - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Systemd Wants to Expand to Include a Sudo Replacement

  Uh, depending on exactly how it's implemented, it could break a lot of things. If all you are using sudo on is a personal (i.e. Single user) laptop/desktop to install packages, this (along with other things like pkexec or doas) would seem to present no issues (and personally, from what I can see, I'd be happy to run `run0` on my personal systems!), but sudo does significantly more than that,... - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• Ask HN: What do you think about a subscription based social media?

  Oh, TIL about https://mastodon.social/ (https://joinmastodon.org/) Looks like what you describe, doesn't it? > Social networking that's not for sale. - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago
