asynchronousx··on Show HN: Windows 98 themed website in 1 HTML file for my post punk band
It pushed to the browser history too much, so the back button is basically navigating in place
asynchronousx··on Void: Open-source Cursor alternative
If this supports connecting with locally hosted models this is actually a HUGE deal
asynchronousx··on Ask HN: Best static website cloning tool?
Thanks for the information on laser systems, I haven’t used a fiber laser myself so that’s helpful.
asynchronousx··on Overengineered Anchor Links
Just came to say the blog site itself is awesome, I’d advocate for opening the diagrams automatically on mobile, they’re amazingly slick.
asynchronousx··on Plex no Longer Offers Free Remote Playback for Personal Media
Please everyone switch over to Jellyfin and begin contributing to the open source apps and clients
asynchronousx··on Peer-to-peer file transfers in the browser
Was very annoyed when they acquired ShareDrop.
asynchronousx··on Planes are having their GPS hacked. Could new clocks keep them safe?
The vast majority of people don’t know that GPS is only a one-way transaction anyways. They think most devices talk back to the satellites somehow.
asynchronousx··on US Ends Support For Ukrainian F-16s
We would love to see Europe develop a military spine for once, I’m excited to see how long it takes before they come crawling back under the wing of the US.
asynchronousx··on Breaking into apartment buildings in five minutes on my phone
This is the only recourse left when the vendor kicks and screams at the CVE disclosure process.
asynchronousx··on Anyone can push updates to the doge.gov website
There’s zero evidence of either of it, just because they got an A record with a .gov at the DNS doesn’t mean this tiny site had any connection back to larger data, and based on my own analysis of how hard every furry hacker on the planet is hitting this, if there was, it would be leaked to the moon already and not speculated on.
asynchronousx··on Anyone can push updates to the doge.gov website
Important to clarify that USDS (DOGE) does not have access to any military systems or intelligence systems. They only have the current access due to the historic process of the USDS.
asynchronousx··on Anyone can push updates to the doge.gov website
Guys, ALL .gov records point to CISA. That’s one of the requirements for getting a .gov domain in the US. This is standard practice.
asynchronousx··on We Hacked a Software Supply Chain for $50K
The sheer aesthetic Lupin & Homes puts out in these blog posts is almost untouchable. I hope they’re cool guys in real life because the digital vibes and website design are immaculate.
asynchronousx··on What happens to your online accounts when you die?
Damn that’s sad.
asynchronousx··on Bad Smart Watch Authentication
Great writeup, didn’t expect “bad authentication” to actually be zero authentication, that’s absurd.
asynchronousx··on No longer writing my own damn HTML
Hilarious post in that it mirrors my own experience. Starting writing a SFS site by hand in HTML, hated writing new things on it, decided to ditch it for a static site generator.
asynchronousx··on [dead]
https://wikitok.vercel.app/

Here’s the deployment app link, cute name.

asynchronousx··on 1% Equity for Founding Engineers Is BS
I think it’s that last part, we expect hyper growth in tech forever or it’s considered a failure.
asynchronousx··on The Hired Guns Who Make Sure School Cyberattacks Stay Hidden
Agreed, I think the focus here is that typically schools are Public entities, they should be more transparent than the usual corporation.
asynchronousx··on Who Is Being Excluded by Museums' Wholesale Adoption of Digital Technology?
Thank you for actually putting some numbers out- based on my experience with AWS I’d have to guess most datacenters are actually 10-50 times more efficient with an email than a homelab would be, if measured atomically. It gets tricky because datacenters obviously want to be maxed out as much as possible vs. idle time, but the extra electricity usage is not coming from Exchange servers.
asynchronousx··on Deep Fake Detector Extension by Mozilla Firefox
Agreed, although trying to name things in modern tech is like playing minesweeper but the board changes every round.

See Lora vs LoRA and many others.

asynchronousx··on Show HN: Turn Screenshots into Designs Instantly
To a web app guy, everything looks like a nail sort of thing but I think this would be a neat web app. I can go to https://photopea.com and get an entire photoshop clone in my browser, but it would be nice to just use your tool for screenshots when I need.
asynchronousx··on Show HN: Turn Screenshots into Designs Instantly
After reading the landing page, I'm still unsure what the exact use case is for this? Could just be misunderstanding the design-test-prototype workflow, but a straightforward example would be nice.

Edit: upon reading through it again I'm realizing it's a pretty screenshot maker. Which is neat. Unsure if it calls for a dedicated .exe though.

asynchronousx··on Amazon blew Alexa's shot to dominate AI, according to employees (2024)
It seems to be that they’re doubling down on Anthropic/AI for commercial use, at least anecdotally from my friends at AWS. Not sure what Amazon proper is looking to do with it in the consumer space, or if it’ll have any real impact.
