ublock origin hackernews dark mode and narrower comment display
! The following 2 lines are what I use to display news.ycombinator.com
! Limit comments to 70 characters wide, making them easier to read
news.ycombinator.com##.comment:style(max-width: 70ch !important; overflow: hidden !important;)
! Invert the colours of the site, making a dark mode that I like
! `invert(95%)` does most of the work,
! but you can tweak the hue-rotate value to fine tune the colours
news.ycombinator.com##html:style(filter:invert(95%) hue-rotate(200deg); background: white)

OpenConnect VPN on Mac OS X

Unfortunately, the Cisco AnyConnect client for Mac conflicts with Pow. And by "conflicts", I mean it causes a grey-screen-of-death kernel panic anytime you connect to the VPN and Pow is installed.

As an alternative, there is OpenConnect, a command-line client for Cisco's AnyConnect SSL VPN.

Here's how to get it set up on Mac OS X:

  1. OpenConnect can be installed via homebrew:

     brew update
    

brew install openconnect
