ABOUT

about:config settings to harden the Firefox browser. Privacy and performance enhancements.
To change these settings type 'about:config' in the url bar. Then search the setting you would like to change and modify the value. Some settings may break certain websites from functioning and rendering normally. Some settings may also make firefox unstable. I am not liable for any damages/loss of data.

Not all these changes are necessary and will be dependent upon your usage and hardware. Do some research on settings if you don't understand what they do. These settings are best combined with your standard privacy extensions (HTTPS Everywhere No longer required: Enable HTTPS-Only Mode, NoScript/Request Policy, uBlock origin, agent spoofing, Privacy Badger etc), and all plugins set to "Ask To Activate".

The founder of Mixergy.com, home of the ambitious upstart. The place where over a thousand of entrepreneurs have come to tell the stories of how they built their businesses, had challenges along the way, overcame them, or not, and mostly told you what they learned from it. And thousands and thousands and thousands of other entrepreneurs have listened and learned, and used what they’ve learned from these interviews.

Today’s guest is David Baggett. He co-founded ITA software, a company that Google bought for a reported $700 million. ITA makes software that’s the search engine behind sites like Kayak. It actually figures out prices, time and other data like flights.

Today, after selling, he launched, and is running, Inky, a mobile app that makes clearing your inbox easier. It will categorize your email for you., it will help you unsubscribe from junk. And it will let you quickly respond to what’s important.

I invited him here to talk about his past companies. And personally he’s a guy wh

Linux Backup Solutions

I've been looking for the best Linux backup system, and also reading lots of HN comments.

Instead of putting pros and cons of every backup system I'll just list some deal-breakers which would disqualify them.

Also I would like that you, the HN community, would add more deal breakers for these or other backup systems if you know some more and at the same time, if you have data to disprove some of the deal-breakers listed here (benchmarks, info about something being true for older releases but is fixed on newer releases), please share it so that I can edit this list accordingly.

• It has a lot of management overhead and that's a problem if you don't have time for a full time backup administrator.

There are three easy to make mistakes in go. I present them here in the way they are often found in the wild, not in the way that is easiest to understand.

All three of these mistakes have been made in Kubernetes code, getting past code review at least once each that I know of.

1. Loop variables are scoped outside the loop.

What do these lines do? Make predictions and then scroll down.
