justusthane··on NPM debug and chalk packages compromised
ripgrep is quite well known. It’s not some obscure tool. Brew is a well-established package manager.

(I get that the same can be said for said for npm and the packages in question, but I don’t really see how the context of the thread matters in this case).

justusthane··on Clankers Die on Christmas
> unintentionally bans everything from Jinja templates

I don’t think so. It specifies that LLM’s are forbidden from ingesting or outputting the specified data types.

Hetzner Storage Box is quite reasonable: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/#matrix

justusthane··on Our love letter to Internet Relay Chat [video]
I’ve found the IRCs hosted by tilde servers to be quite good. See https://tilde.chat/ and https://tildeverse.org/. I’m a member of https://ctrl-c.club (although I haven’t been active for several years).
justusthane··on How did .agakhan, .ismaili and .imamat get their own TLDs?
With some exceptions (.gov, .edu, for example), it has never actually meant anything. Anyone can register a .com, .net, or .org for any purpose.
justusthane··on Bookmarks.txt is a concept of keeping URLs in plain text files
I come across things via other channels than search (Hacker News, e.g.), which I have some vague memory of, but which I would never be able to find again via search. This is the role bookmarks fill for me.
justusthane··on Static sites with Python, uv, Caddy, and Docker
Do you have the whole thing available? I love SSGs, especially personal ones.
justusthane··on Using Podman, Compose and BuildKit
`podman generate systemd` was created as a bandaid because it was so difficult to manually write systemd units.

Quadlets now make it much easier to create the units by hand, and ‘ `podman generate systemd` is deprecated.

justusthane··on Nginx introduces native support for ACME protocol
You can’t use HTTP-01 if the server running nginx isn’t accessible from the internet. DNS-01 works for that.
justusthane··on Claude says “You're absolutely right!” about everything
> We don't appreciate how much there is to language.

This can’t possibly be true, can it? Every language must have its own nuance. non native English speakers might not grasp the nuance of English language, but the same could be said for any one speaking another language.

justusthane··on Nova Scotia bans hiking and use of vehicles in woods due to wildfire fears
I’m fairly certain it has much more to do with climate change than forest management, and that’s a pretty hard root cause to immediately address.

Two quick statistics I found (both government-provided) state that 40% and 85% of wildfires, Canada and US respectively, are started by humans.

Wildfires are so bad in Canada right now. If access to Crown land has to be restricted to prevent it all from literally going up in flames, than so be it.

justusthane··on Sandstorm- self-hostable web productivity suite
There are lots — “selfhosted OS” is the term to look for. Umbrel and CasaOS are some other popular ones. I don’t personal experience with any of them though.
justusthane··on Amtrak NextGen Acela Debuts on August 28
What is "5G-enabled Wi-Fi"? Does that just mean the train receives its connectivity via 5G and broadcasts Wi-Fi?
justusthane··on Building Bluesky comments for my blog
That's what I do, except I skip the form and just provide my email address at the bottom of each post.
justusthane··on GPT-5: Key characteristics, pricing and system card
> a real-time router that quickly decides which model to use based on conversation type, complexity, tool needs, and explicit intent

This is sort of interesting to me. It strikes me that so far we've had more or less direct access to the underlying model (apart from the system prompt and guardrails), but I wonder if going forward there's going to be more and more infrastructure between us and the model.

justusthane··on An LLM does not need to understand MCP
Maybe you've already seen it, but your comment reminded me of this recent article about MCP as a universal protocol (not just for AI): https://worksonmymachine.ai/p/mcp-an-accidentally-universal-... (discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44404905)
justusthane··on Wired Called Our AirGradient Monitor 'Not Recommended' over a Broken Display
Not exactly on topic, but does anyone else feel that the bolded key phrases actually makes it harder to read? I find my eyes jumping between them without absorbing the rest of the text.
justusthane··on Ask HN: Have you ever regretted open-sourcing something?
What did the script do? I promise I’m just curious and not a script kiddy
justusthane··on Welcome to the IPv4 Games
I don't know, but check out the "Recent Successful Claims" on the right.

Edit: Apparently they run https://novo.tf/, a CAPTCHA service, so they're probably using that to call out to ipv4.games from their clients.

justusthane··on USB-C for Lightning iPhones
Ah, that’s cool! I was thinking reverse wireless charging, but I didn’t know about that anyway.

What's the remaining 1%? :)
justusthane··on Copyparty – Turn almost any device into a file server
Besides being useful, this just seems fun as heck after watching the demo video. I'm curious if folks have examples of other similarly fun/whimsical (but still useful!) software. I would submit https://fraidyc.at/ to the list.

justusthane··on Dumb Pipe
They provide a default relay. It’s not clear to me whether you can manually specify a different relay.
