On: Ask HN: Do 10DLC Requirements make it impossible for hobby projects to send SMS?

[oofdere]

is there any reason not to use SMS/MMS gateways (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_gateway) for your hobby projects?

[sparrish → oofdere]

Messages have serious delays (sometimes minutes, sometimes hours) through SMS gateways. There's also rate limiting. That limits their usefulness.

> But now I get to control way more myself

is this a good thing? to some extent sure but I feel like limitations and collaboration leads to better art in many instances

I wasn’t gonna bother doing that. You made me do it…

[Grimblewald → acheong08]

What is it?

[tadfisher → Grimblewald]

We're no strangers to it. You know the rules, and so do I; these jokers make a full commitment and make you think about it for so long. You wouldn't get this from any other pull request.

On: Toyota CEO: "Our ammonia engine is the end of EV's" [video]

[oofdere]

EV's are only quieter inside of the car, at speed they're just as loud as ICE cars, sometimes louder. [0]

If we're going to reduce car noise, the only option is to make them go slower and move them away from residential areas.

They're clearly not. Source: my ears listening to EVs vs ICE cars going by me on the road. At high speeds and/or on wet roads, tire noise can dominate, but in the city there's far more noise from engine/exhaust.

https://deta.sh is another serverless option but I do worry about their path to profitability.

On: DuckDuckGo email protection beta now open

[oofdere]

DDG email protection isn't locked to a single browser, I've been using it on Chrome/ium and Firefox for around a year now.

[jacooper → oofdere]

I meant on mobile, you can't use it without using DDG browser.

Same, it is not available on Safari though.

On: Page was served from Nginx on ReactOS

[oofdere]

It seems to be because HN is forcing HTTPS, it works when using HTTP.

Try this: http://reactos.aaron.cc/

[Mo3 → oofdere]

Doesn't work for me either

[KronisLV → Mo3]

HTTP seems to work for me.

Here's the screenshot of the full page: https://i.imgur.com/sqTTF7X.png

Now it's working for me too, must've been the good old HOD. Thank you anyway, much appreciated

[kiwijamo → oofdere]

That http link worked for me. Thank you.

[barbarbar → oofdere]

Perhaps it was served?

But not for me.
