Reading NFC Passport Chips in Linux
For boring and totally not nefarious reasons, I want to read all the data contained in my passport's NFC chip using Linux. After a long and annoying search, I settled on roeften's pypassport. I can now read all the passport information, including biometrics.…

OpenAI Charges by the Minute, So Make the Minutes Shorter
I discovered a fun and strangely obvious trick for summarizing videos faster and reducing costs: just speed them up. Cheaper, faster OpenAI transcriptions with a little ffmpeg trick.

Show HN: Scream to Unlock – Blocks social media until you scream “I'm a loser” (Score: 151+ in 6 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/c/6wGsj
Hi all,
I kept wasting time on social media, even though I’d promised myself I’d stay focused. Regular site blockers didn’t help.
I needed something that felt annoying enough to break the habit. That’s how the idea came up: make the blocker ask me to say something embarrassing out loud before it lets me back in. If I actually have to yell “I’m a loser” into my mic. Even better - the louder I screamed, the more time I’d get.
So I put together Scream to Unlock. It’s silly, but so far it’s done its job. My social feeds stay locked unless I really want them.
