derkoe··on We Reverse-Engineered Docker Sandbox's Undocumented MicroVM API
Is this a closed source product?
derkoe··on Model multipliers for annual plans staying on request-based billing
There are some 900% raises in pricing for GitHub Copilot premium requests for the annual plans that won't get converted to token-based usage.

Sonnet 4.6 from 1x to 9x, Opus 4.6 from 3x to 27x (holy moly)

derkoe··on Changes to GitHub Copilot individual plans
They will also change the business and enterprise plans to token based: https://www.wheresyoured.at/news-microsoft-to-shift-github-c...
derkoe··on The Rise of "Visual Vibe Coding"
This shows a new open source VSCode extension called Stagewise that allows changing UIs directly in the app by selecting an element and adding a prompt: https://stagewise.io/

I've tried it with one of my apps and it works quite well.

derkoe··on You should know this before choosing Next.js
I guess there are currently three decent alternatives: - Astro - React Router 7 (former Remix) - Tanstack Start

Astro has more focus on content based sites whereas the other two may also be used for web apps.

derkoe··on You should know this before choosing Next.js
I guess Tanstack Start is also a very good alternative to check out https://tanstack.com/start/latest
derkoe··on An open source initiative to share and compare heat pump performance data
Most heat pumps fall back to electric heating when it's too cold. So, on these few days you will need the same amount of electricity a typical electric heating will need.
derkoe··on Helidon 4 released (featuring Java virtual threads)
Just tried it and it's really fast. Have to run some benchmarking...

Helidon seems to have really little adoption. Anybody using it in production? What's your experience?

derkoe··on JDK 21 Release Notes
One of the most common web frameworks used is Spring Boot - here is their quickstart: https://spring.io/quickstart

Newer alternatives are: https://micronaut.io/ and https://quarkus.io/

If you want to have something really simple look at Javalin: https://javalin.io/

derkoe··on Astro framework lowers competitors by ~40% on performance graph to looks better
Seems like someone has already done that: https://github.com/withastro/astro.build/pull/730
derkoe··on Node.js Downloads Return Mostly 404
The issue seems to be resolved now
derkoe··on Node.js Downloads Return Mostly 404
It seems to work around 25% of the time - seems like some mirrors have not all the files. It's quite strange that the same IP returns the file and then doesn't.

derkoe··on Architecture diagrams should be code
The C4 model (https://c4model.com/) is great for architecture diagrams. You can use different tools to generate them. Here are the ones I've been using:

- https://github.com/plantuml-stdlib/C4-PlantUML - https://structurizr.com/ (by Simon Brown, the creator of the C4 model)

derkoe··on 3D in CSS
https://impress.js.org/ uses this extensively to create impressive presentations.
derkoe··on Pushup: a new compiler for making web apps in Go
Oh yes it's pretty hard to type on a German keyboard as well. In most editors you will need two keystrokes.
derkoe··on What happened to Svelte project on NPM?
Seems like someone's CI is going mad.

Just found out that Theo already saw this on Nov 22: https://twitter.com/t3dotgg/status/1594949616600256512

Would be interesting to hear from NPM about this.

derkoe··on Has Rakuten made a Rocky-er road for Red Hat?
Red Hat makes things worse for paying customers to sell more subscriptions which will fail in the end.

One example for this is their UBI (universal base image) which should be used to build RHEL containers. The image is "free to use" and therefore they removed lots of packages from the included repos. Many packages cannot be installed - with the current version 9 they removed even more packages. This is really frustrating and time consuming.

My recommendation: use Alma or Rocky Linuxes as an alternative

derkoe··on Docker October 2022 Pricing Change FAQ
Yes this is happening and In think this was intentional.

I think this will just lead to more companies switching to alternatives like Podman Desktop or Rancher Desktop.

derkoe··on The new wave of JavaScript web frameworks
Great article but the resumable framework is called Qwik not Quik: https://qwik.builder.io/
derkoe··on I spent two years trying to do what Backstage does for free
Just saw this video where a similar platform is introduced https://youtu.be/Abdp_BnRIx0 This is the website https://kustodian.io/

It has more features including onboarding, access control, etc

derkoe··on Ask HN: How do you deploy your weekend project in 2022?
It depends. Azure Static Webapps + Azure Storage (tables, queues and blob) for simple js web applications. Fly.io for things that need more complex environment.
derkoe··on MS Teams Linux client is being retired. To be replaced by a progressive web app
Yes, but the outlook web version is quite usable
derkoe··on I finally tricked myself into waking up at 5:30am
Just wanted to write exactly the same. Get a kid and you'll wake up consistently at 05:30
derkoe··on Ask HN: Open-source SBOM generation tools?
Currently the best one I know of is https://github.com/anchore/syft. It finds most dependencies even within built artifacts.

You can also check out the comments in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32104805 - the release announcement of Salus (Microsoft)

derkoe··on Microsoft open sources Salus software bill of materials (SBOM) generation tool
https://github.com/anchore/syft is an easier to use alternative. Just point it at a container image, path or archive and it will generate the SBOM for you.

Salus seems to be more flexible - you can also feed the sources and the package manager files into it. I guess the results could be more accurate.

derkoe··on Dependabot alerts paused for malware advisories
+1 for Renovate - it has support for more languages/ecosystems, it is more configurable and it is fully open source.

Anyway, this kind of attack would also work with Renovate but you could create a good company-wide config to prevent this.

derkoe··on GitHub Is Down Again
Seems to be up again - but there are still some performance issues. The main page was down for approximately 15 minutes
derkoe··on Ask HN: Share your personal site
https://derkoe.dev Really simple and just a few blog posts
derkoe··on You and the planet need a heat pump
Can confirm that. Our heat pump (cheap all-in-one, 8 years old) works down to -10°C (14°F) without issues. Modern ones work down to -20°C (-4°F). Water based heat pumps work with any outside temperature. In any case a heat pump is the cheapest way to heat a building.
derkoe··on The Day AppGet Died (2020)
Please don't use any of these. Use scoop - it just works https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/scoop No admin needed for almost all packages, "scoop update *" to update your system, authoring packages is very easy.
