augunrik··on Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet?
Ah, new training data!
augunrik··on ZK-JPEG: Zero-Knowledge Image Editing and Compression
Can you photograph a photo so it’s not really noticeable?
augunrik··on The August 17 outage
I don't know, this blog post and the lasts read like organisational and human failures to me. Their system doesn't degrade, they even have infinite retries and no meaningful quotas anywhere I can see (but I'm not a heavy github user).

I feel like this becomes a lesson on how NOT to design and operate a SaaS.

augunrik··on PGSimCity - How PostgreSQL Works
There are buttons on the bottom left: pause and two to adjust the speed (down to 0.1x). Some parts of the city can be adjusted when you click on it (I just found the transactions/s)
augunrik··on Caddy compatibility for zeroserve: 3x throughput and 70% lower latency
Because it passes more boundaries and stuff. But hey, I didn’t code a Webserver so far - so what do I know. :D

AFAIK eBPF can be hardware offloaded. If you have the use case.

augunrik··on Caddy compatibility for zeroserve: 3x throughput and 70% lower latency
I am surprised how well nginx holds up?!
augunrik··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
Yeah! I also think that the ban was unintended.

I also think that’s a big clown show. People think that LLMs accidentally get good with security patterns. That is not the case, they included all of that in the training data. They could also have left out the knowledge.

augunrik··on Netbird – Open Source Zero Trust Networking
I tried installing it and it was a pain, if you don’t use the very very default scripts. Also their scripts regenerate secrets and the setup is weird in general (you need a complicated rp configuration and scripts to generate the config files)
augunrik··on µcad: New open source programming language that can generate 2D sketches and 3D
You can try out AstoCAD, a reskin of FreeCAD. The author also fixes a lot of FreeCAD bugs.
augunrik··on Fnox, a secret manager that pairs well with mise
From the initial feature set it sounds like Mozilla SOPS.
augunrik··on Emailing a one-time code is worse than passwords
Kinda weird when they secure shop sites where you enter your payment information into. IKEA does this, for example.
augunrik··on Reverse engineering and dismantling Kekz headphones
I love when people do this! Now we only need alternative software and the hardware is finally purchasable!

Would be cooler if the hardware was more OS before but I take what I can get…

augunrik··on Signal: Will leave the EU market rather than undermine our privacy guarantees
Just let Signal operate via Satellites and you are fine: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weltraumtheorie
augunrik··on Should I use JWTs for authentication tokens?
JWTs are best practice for OAuth as it can transport claims. It’s up to your application if you continue to use it after the initial flow. You are fine to convert it, but most apps don’t as it’s easier.
augunrik··on Migrating Uber's ledger data from DynamoDB to LedgerStore
Is there some information on why they need to store this much data for immediate retrieval? And why is it so much?
augunrik··on Passkeys: A shattered dream
I use Strongbox and store my Passkeys in a Keepass File. Vendor agnostic, private syncable and locked by my passphrase. I like them and wish more services would implement them properly.
augunrik··on Ghost Jobs – it's not your fault that you are not getting hired in 2024 [video]
Can you also see if every job position was filled in the end?
augunrik··on Distributed Authorization
Kinda sounds like OPA (Open Policy Agent) [1], but a different implementation.

augunrik··on EU jobs crisis as employers say applicants don't have the right skills
Yeah, I blame those employers too. Last year I was job hunting and got declined a position as I only have 10 years of experience with JavaEE, but no job experience with Spring Boot (only a few hobby projects). That’s how narrow minded these guys are.
augunrik··on Show HN: I open-sourced the in-memory PostgreSQL I built at work for E2E tests
I have a customer that is not allowed to run Postgres natively or docker at all (bc of security). They could use this, I guess.
augunrik··on Cloudflare Announces Firewall for AI
So after firewalls, the next logical step is Anti-virus, isn’t it?
augunrik··on Ask HN: Similar books to “Raytracing in one Weekend”?
Personally I often go to Amazon to find things, google the author and check on the HP on how to buy the book with the least amount of "tax" for the author. Added benefit: you get formats outside of walled gardens!
augunrik··on Ask HN: Similar books to “Raytracing in one Weekend”?
Thanks for all your links! I haven't decided on what to next :D
