Why HN links it

HN readers link this blog for a uBlock rule set that suppresses Google's cookie consent popup, notes on OpenSSH entropy and RDRAND, and the email about the Open Collective Foundation dissolving.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. If you mean the new Google consent popup, good uBlock rules for suppressing that: https://daniel-lange.com/archives/164-Getting-rid-of-the-Goo...

  5. Here's the full email: https://daniel-lange.com/archives/186-Opencollective-shuttin... EDIT: It's the OC Foundation, one of the US-based fiscal hosts, that is dissolving. OC as a whole remains active, as do other fiscal hosts like the Open Source Collective (US) and OC Europe.
