cprecioso··on Show HN: Offrun – manage every coding agent from one workspace
I read somewhere that a common thing in text written by LLMs is, in their sentences, putting inanimate objects in the active position.
cprecioso··on Antiquated HTML Snippets and Artefacts
I'd only add the Safari Pinned Tabs `meta` tag (https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Ap...), which had you define a simple black and white SVG. This image would get used when a user pinned your tab in Safari, in color when active and black when inactive.
cprecioso··on Audacity 4.0
It was using wxWidgets, not GTK directly IIRC
cprecioso··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)
I’ve been gearing up for launching Todone, a CLI / GitHub Action that can scan comments with URLs to GitHub issues, Figma comments, or browser support pages, and more (plugin system available); and open an issue when the issue or comment is resolved, or your target browser has that feature, etc

It’s still in flux and a bit slow as I have to juggle it with my day job, but pretty excited to launch it once it’s good enough for a 1.0!

cprecioso··on More Tailscale tricks for your jailbroken Kindle
I knew this was the case, but I did a couple of stopovers in China earlier this year when flying to/from Japan, and using Tailscale to connect through my local homelab worked perfectly.
cprecioso··on FIFA World Cup Triggers a Global Anti-Piracy Crackdown
I think FIFA has been doing blatant bribery for much longer than just this World Cup.
cprecioso··on Cockpit is a web-based graphical interface for servers
- Easy OIDC - Generally improve the file manager addon - ncdu-like addon - interface to create simple systemd services - more visibility into which commands you can run to do the same thing
cprecioso··on Show HN: LatentScore – Type a mood, get procedural/ambient music (open source)
Server is down :(

I think proxyman
cprecioso··on Why Microsoft Store Discontinued Support for Office Apps
You can get individual app installers at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/update-histo... and more at https://mofa.cocolabs.dev/standalone_apps/standalone_current...
cprecioso··on Pricing Changes for GitHub Actions
I was talking specifically of macOS Intel runners. The sibling comment from the founder confirmed they don't have them.
cprecioso··on Pricing Changes for GitHub Actions
I checked the WarpBuild website and got excited because the header in the menu says you have macOS Intel runners, but then you click through and it doesn't seem to be so?

Right now at my company our biggest complaint are macOS Intel runners from GitHub which somehow take 15+ minutes to provision and are the slowest of the bunch.

cprecioso··on Upcoming Changes to Let's Encrypt Certificates
That was an interesting read, thanks! Two questions:

- What is the problem with stale certificates if a domain changes hands? It seems to me that whether they renew the certificate or not, the security situation for the user is still the same, no?

- Is CertKit a similar solution to Anchor Relay? (https://anchor.dev/relay)

cprecioso··on Affinity Studio now free
I'm disappointed to see so many negative responses to such a good thing to do. I understand where it's coming from, the distrust on progressively de-empowering freemium apps. But if there was a product to gain some trust (or at least the benefit of the doubt) on doing the right thing, and having a fair and balanced approach to monetization, it is Affinity. Same thing they've been doing for years.

I for one, think this is a really nice thing, and that it gives access to really well-made and actual professional-level design tools to a huge swath of people who didn't have it before, be it for personal use or for work. No previously included feature is now part of the subscription, and they've made sure to say they'll be free forever. I see this as a huge win.

cprecioso··on LaLiga's Anti-Piracy Crackdown Triggers Widespread Internet Disruptions in Spain
I think most of this are being done in the moment, without advanced warning. Plus, some ISPs carry soccer in their TV offerings so they’re probably not benefiting from speaking out. At least, my ISP does replace the blocked website with a notice explicitly stating that this is the result of a judicial ruling in favor of LaLiga
cprecioso··on LaLiga's Anti-Piracy Crackdown Triggers Widespread Internet Disruptions in Spain
The ISPs are compelled by judicial order to take down whatever LaLiga tells them to, and LaLiga is telling them to block the entire IP range. They can’t not do it.
cprecioso··on A security incident that may involve your Plex account information
Yep, this was a huge hassle for me, I didn't realize it would happen!

Another option is to do `ssh -L 32400:localhost:32400 <your-plex-address>` and connect to http://localhost:32400/web, it will let you claim the server as it detects the connection being local.

cprecioso··on Show HN: NextDNS Adds "Bypass Age Verification"
IIRC there was this service called Tunlr which offered VPN-like location spoofing with similar DNS tricks.
cprecioso··on I gave the AI arms and legs then it rejected me
I was thinking about this the other day. I think it might just be a thing of Google looking for a different thing than what made his open source project famous.

Without no knowledge of the details further than mxcl's tweet; probably any performance issues even on simple code, get infinitely multiplied when running at Google's scale, slogging the thing, on Google's dime. From what I've seen of him, mxcl is good at designing a really approachable product, and on running an open source project. But homebrew is really slow, even on the latests Macs, even for basic cases.

To me it seems then that he'd be more fit for a product owner/manager position than an engineering one, and that could be the root of his not-hiring.

cprecioso··on Creating a pan-European legal entity, the right way
IIRC basically the SE is indeed complicated and has a bunch of requirements that would not make sense for a startup. Plus, it isn’t really a common denominator for different corporate laws, but they kinda add together so now you need to know about laws in Germany AND laws in Spain AND etc, wherever you operate.
cprecioso··on An origin trial for a new HTML <permission> element (2024)
I saw, but I think I’d also find a publication date useful
cprecioso··on Iroh: A library to establish direct connection between peers
A bit off topic I guess, but what’s your usage for xs? I read the website, I think that I understand it and find it intriguing, but I’m not sure what one would use it for.
cprecioso··on An origin trial for a new HTML <permission> element (2024)
I wish the template that Google uses for all of their dev blogs had a clear date, otherwise people would have realized that this is one year old, and the origin trial has already ended.
cprecioso··on How Microsoft is combining Windows and Xbox for handheld PCs
Based on the description of “we’re not loading the taskbar or the wallpaper”, it really seems like they’re just changing the startup executable from explorer.exe to xbox.exe
cprecioso··on Cloudflare takes legal action over LaLiga's "disproportionate blocking efforts"
> bandaancha.eu is doing a fantastic job on the reporting of this.

And LaLiga’s response to their reporting? Sending false abuse notices to their hosting provider [1]

cprecioso··on Show HN: Live-updating version of the 'What a week, huh?' meme
I miss StumbleUpon
cprecioso··on Show HN: Live-updating version of the 'What a week, huh?' meme
Yeah, it's not great UX for web apps, but for a toy project like this it's good enough if you don't want any JS. It still works even if deprecated, and if it stops working, it doesn't take anything away.
cprecioso··on Show HN: Live-updating version of the 'What a week, huh?' meme
As a tip, you can use the `<meta http-equiv="Refresh">` tag [1] to make the browser automatically refresh after N seconds and keep the tab always up to date.

cprecioso··on Tell HN: Cloudflare is blocking Pale Moon and other non-mainstream browsers
This would be weird, esp. given that Cloudflare is one of the vendors who act as exit nodes for iCloud Relay.
