Ngrok.com for ssh tunneling.


Can't recommend Ngrok enough... saved my bacon and makes testing on devices so easy and painless.


Hasn't Ngrok the same security risks as GoToMyPC?


Nope. With Ngrok you don't type password on the website. No xss, csrf etc


Why do people keep recommending these incredibly insecure passwords... replacing vowels with numbers will do little...

Ugh


Such recommendations leave little to imagination when they say:

  ... service has been targeted by a very sophisticated password attack


I gave up my Facebook 3 years ago and never looked back.


A .2% yoy change is a sign of growing confidence lol..


It's a 10% shift in the rate (and nearly 50% higher than the low point), so yes, it is significant.


as a former department of homeland security employee this is business as usual. you think it was an accident that these were no-bid or that some random canadian company got the healthcare website contract when there are thousands of americans who could have done it better? just scratching the backs of their donors. nothing to see here.


Agree completely, with the minor nitpick that its not donors to politicians here so much as the revolving door between military/bureaucracy of the government and the industrial complex.


>some random canadian company got the healthcare website contract

Whose backs were being scratched in that case?


CGI Federal had some interesting ties to the Obamas.

Actually the cited article conclusion reads:

  Conclusion

  There is no evidence that Townes-Whitley’s connection to the first lady, 
  or CGI’s campaign contributions, had anything to do with the contract being 
  awarded to CGI Federal as viral emails suggest.

  Company and government officials say the contract was awarded through a competitive 
  — yet limited — process, and that Townes-Whitley was not involved.


Just like when the same federal agency investigates their own employees and finds no wrong doing. Or when a cop is investigated, etc..

I've seen the corruption first hand.. first in the navy and then as a contractor. The joke about the $500 hammer isn't a joke at all.


$35 and chromecast work for me.. don't see a need for this. Not only that I can just start playing any video and browse to 127.0.0.1:8888 and stream whatever I want via chromecast.


your project sounds incredibly smart, congrats and good luck! For someone like myself who is very tall, but somewhat small in the waste for my height I have a hard time finding clothes. 36/34 jeans are near impossible. I'll give it a shot once you launch!


Thanks Rob - appreciate your kind words. You could also just shoot me an email after you sign up and take the short body quiz, and ill be sure to bump you :)


hmm... I'm normally 34/36 (w/l), they are usually on stock and my size hasn't changed in the last ~20y. But actually I like 34/37 more with some shoes. The 34/38 jeans were rather hard to find, and then I had them custom shortened a bit.

Now someone make more tall ladies please... ;-)


It's really odd - seems like this post was taken down for 30 minutes and re-posted when i had dropped? I've only been on here for 2 weeks - is that normal?


Then how am I on the list with an email I only use at coinbase? With my full email and name, and i'm getting spammed non-stop by this "non-important" security flaw in your system.. multiple times today and counting.


earbuds would have been a better name for this imo.


this would be great, but I just tested it and it doesn't work with smart objects :(

if I didn't need the other adobe tools, I would just stick with Sketch, but they have me hung up in other areas.
