J_tt··on Vite 8.0 Is Out
Astro: https://astro.build/
J_tt··on Plasma Bigscreen – 10-foot interface for KDE plasma
I’ve just moved from Kodi on a Linux box to Jellyfin and Infuse on an Apple TV, so far fantastic experience
J_tt··on The Jujutsu version control system
Adding onto this, there’s also an experimental feature to move a bookmark as you create new revisions (similar to how a git branch behaves)
J_tt··on lsix: Like "ls", but for images
Unfortunately, it can be a vector[0], especially on less security focused software that has less sandboxing.

J_tt··on Cloudflare took down our website
The way I read the screenshots of the emails from the articles seemed to suggest that something the authors company was doing was causing issues with IP reputation on CloudFlares range.

Them very aggressively highlighting the BYO IP feature and then even suggesting third parties to rent IPs from strikes me as a significant detour from their normal “script” (having dealt with their AU sales team before).

J_tt··on Chrome Enterprise Premium: The future of endpoint security
This feels like a reaction to Edge beginning to eat the enterprise market.

The problem is convincing anyone to buy on to gamble if this product will exist by the end of the contract.

I haven’t looked closer, but it’ll be very funny if this is fully GPO driven when Microsoft is already pushing for cloud configuration via Intune instead.

J_tt··on Welcome to Developer Week 2024 – Cloudflare
Still waiting for cloudflare to reach the “The Box”[1] phase.

J_tt··on So I guess I hacked Samsung?
Web services that need to be setup from a web frontend with no required token or credentials always make me nervous for this reason.

All it takes is someone noticing the port and beating you to the punch, and then it’s their server.

J_tt··on Should we ban ransom payments?
Enforce it at the cyber insurance provider level, if you pay out a ransom for a client you risk losing your insurance license.
J_tt··on Show HN: GPU Prices on eBay
CORS headers from eBay will prevent that unfortunately
J_tt··on Keycloak SSO with Docker Compose and Nginx
Very reasonable!

My go-to for anything more complicated is definitely NGINX, but for ease of use in a very straightforward docker containers running HTTP services, it’s hard to beat the ease of use of the modified version of Caddy I linked

J_tt··on Keycloak SSO with Docker Compose and Nginx
My go to is always this instead:

https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy

Single label to a docker container and with correct DNS you’ll have an automatically managed certificate right away.

J_tt··on OpenEarable: A new, open-source, Arduino-based platform for ear-based sensing
Relevant [xkcd](https://xkcd.com/2501/)
J_tt··on A real-time 3D digital map of Tokyo's public transport system
The IC card system is fantastic, and you can provision one on your phone without needing a physical card.

On iOS the integration with Apple wallet means you can top it up and provision it without even needing to install the app.

J_tt··on Go JSON/v2 Package
Supporting custom date time formats in struct tags is a huge quality of life improvement, a lot of unnecessary boilerplate saved there
J_tt··on Show HN: Smartphone haptics for inducing calm, an alternative to meditation
It sounds like you’re looking for https://buttplug.ion
J_tt··on Show HN: kproximate – A Kubernetes node autoscaler for Proxmox
Something a lot of other comments seem to be skipping out on is storage, proxmox provides an easy hyperconverged option with its support for CEPH, which provides a much more battle tested option when compared to k8s solutions like longhorn.
J_tt··on Show HN: Backname.io – every IP address gets its own domain
in-addr.arpa domains don’t resolve to an IP address, an IP address resolves to them, you can test this with DIG or any dns look up tool
J_tt··on I Tracked an NYC Subway Rider's Movements with an MTA ‘Feature’
It’d be great if they could trigger 3D-Secure without a purchase, but that would probably be a whole mess to work out.

Edit: looks like it might be in the spec from some very brief research, or at least “coming soon”: https://3dsecure2.com/non-payment-authentication/

J_tt··on Waku: The Minimalist React Framework with Server Components
It’d be nice to see continued adoption if only to make things searchable when prerendered. Locking data behind an API with a requisite auth token means discoverability goes away.

But sadly I think that era has come to an end, with every content company scrambling to lock data away to levy a fee for LLM training.

J_tt··on DNS in a Weekend with Elixir
This is very rough implementation, and vulnerable to getting caught in a loop on malicious DNS packets. But, I thought it was an interesting enough demo of bitstrings in Elixir to share here.

I may come back to it and add some better error handling, docs etc

J_tt··on NTP Implementation in Elixir
What’s fantastic is you can reference an unpacked variable immediately within the bitstring.

This is super handy if you have variable length sections with a header, such as a DNS packet, saving having to do it in two operations.

J_tt··on How I run my servers (2022)
Have you considered installing a GitLab runner on your deploy machine to run jobs specifically tagged to deploy that app?

It’s a super easy setup and saves managing SSH keys in env variables etc while still being really quick!

J_tt··on Semaphore: A Full-Body Keyboard
I don’t think that is the authors SSN, since the first number closely matches a song title and the second is “69 420 007”, which is definitely a joke.
J_tt··on Twitter's Recommendation Algorithm
Mastodon searching is a lot more focused on hashtags rather than the contents of peoples posts. Consider it more "opt-in" discovery.

The existing user base is strongly in favour of a more organic social graph from exploring tags for shared interests.

Browsing tags is a very normal thing to do on the platform.

J_tt··on Building ClickHouse Cloud from scratch in a year
We’re actually finding good success with GraphQL codegen, specifically for a Go backend and Apollo + TypeScript frontend.

Out of all the options for generating typesafe interfaces this seems the most flexible and generates usable code.

J_tt··on Universal Paperclips
I just lost 4 engineers (including myself) a whole afternoon of work to this :(
J_tt··on Pint: A Python library for representing physical units
"Pynt" feels like a missed opportunity for a lovely pun
J_tt··on The Problem with Perceptual Hashes
Each user can adjust the settings for how incoming images are filtered, one of the options disables it for friends.

Direct link to issue, but doesn't show affected services:
