I use pikapods so more like a managed VPS but I run bitwarden along with a photos app on the server which is worth it to me

How bad is it there for sexual/gender minorities (aka gay/trans people). Is it livable if you are visibly transgender?

How bad is the crime? I've talked to a few who've lived there but they always tell me the crime forced them to move out. Do hijackings at robots still happen often?

From what I've seen, Chile is a relatively safe and intellectually free place to live. They aren't as progressive on LGBTQIA tolerance as say the west coast of the US, but they are slowly getting there.

It isn't dirt cheap though. A house in a nice part of Santiago will cost you around 300-500k (USD).

Hello HN!

Cryptsend was created as a result of my company having to share large amounts of medical data with our clients. We couldn't find an easy and secure solution, so we sat down and created cryptsend. Our codebase is currently in alpha stages so any audits/improvements/security vulns you find would be really appreciated!

If you want to work at FAANG or Uber/Dropbox/etc then yes you don't want certs. For lower tier companies/smaller ones then it might make a difference.

Remove your certs. They are a negative signal for most companies in tech unless you are in infosec (which you aren't judging from your resume)

I find that what helps me the most are the '--help' commands, especially if it has multilevel support, like seen with the docker cli tool.

The problem with just providing examples is it doesn't always tell me what each argument does, especially if I have multiple arguments, making it seem like the tool works by having a 'magical' combination of arguments, instead of explaining what each argument does.

My friend made exactly this (https://www.ericsson.com/en/press-releases/2016/5/soundvisio...) but it ended up not being marketable so they abandoned it and sadly never opensourced the code.
