JustSkyfall··on Ask HN: Using Bluebird Promises in 2025?
The Bluebird devs themselves no longer recommend using it if you can help it:

> Please use native promises instead if at all possible. Native Promises have been stable in Node.js and browsers for around 10 years now and they have been fast for around 7. Any utility bluebird has like .map has native equivalents (like Node streams' .map).

> This is a good thing, the people working on Bluebird and promises have been able to help incorporate most of the useful things from Bluebird into JavaScript itself and platforms/engines.

> If there is a feature that keeps you using bluebird. Please let us know so we can try and upstream it :)

> Currently - it is only recommended to use Bluebird if you need to support really old browsers or EoL Node.js or as an intermediate step to use warnings/monitoring to find bugs.

JustSkyfall··on Vortex – temporary email service written in Rust
I've been looking for a clean temporary email service for a while now, so I decided to build my own!

I wrote the SMTP server from scratch in Rust - SMTP's a surprisingly simple spec, so if you've got the time then I'd recommend trying this out yourself!

JustSkyfall··on Playing with Hilton's Digital Keycard API
Awesome article! I think a FOSS version of the app that would let you unlock the door would be super cool.
JustSkyfall··on Discord runs Powershell on load to find Nvidia binaries
Not really, with the native app you get things like Rich Presence and faster calls.
JustSkyfall··on What I think about Lua after shipping a project with 60k lines of code
I believe Roblox's Luau would be suitable for this case? It's got pretty good performance and typing support. Still supports metatables I think (they needed backwards compatibility with old Lua 5.1 code), but it's a start ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
JustSkyfall··on It's far from clear how grub package updates work on Ubuntu
Pop!OS has systemd-boot on systems with UEFI

The bill contains a long-standing provision that would limit aid to the Palestinian Authority, which governs the occupied West Bank, if "the Palestinians initiate an International Criminal Court (ICC) judicially authorized investigation, or actively supports such an investigation, that subjects Israeli nationals to an investigation for alleged crimes against Palestinians."

What.
