I definitely used HipChat, but then Slack was released and took over the world.
nodesocket··on Barman – Backup and Recovery Manager for PostgreSQL
A shout out to Databasus (https://databasus.com). It’s a remarkably simply utility and web interface to schedule PostgreSQL backups. I use it in my homelab and works great.
nodesocket··on Intel's soars 15% as results top estimates
Appreciate the analysis and agree it's gone more vertical than a Saturn V rocket. I sold a large chuck today in AF. My point withstanding is the tech crowd (including HN comments) and tech YouTubers are clueless when it comes to investing. Perhaps when sentiment on HN of a publicly traded company reaches peak bear you buy, buy, buy.

Examples: Boeing during "covid". Tesla pretty much anytime. Intel....

nodesocket··on Intel's soars 15% as results top estimates
I’ve been a holder of Intel since low $20’s and kept on accruing more and more.

Every once in a while opportunities like intel come along where a previous tech market leader loses strength and the market overreacts and drives the price down way too much.

Mainstream media latches on, calls the end of the company, tech YouTubers and the HN comment section follow suit. Price further falls to ridiculous lows and becomes a screaming value buy.

It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it’s a great opportunity. There are of course exceptions (Kodak comes to mind) but a company like Intel when we are going through perhaps the largest ever compute and processing demand surge was just silly.

nodesocket··on Show HN: Honker – Postgres NOTIFY/LISTEN Semantics for SQLite
Awesome. I’m currently using AWS SQS which invokes lambda functions for asynchronous tasks like email sends, but Honker seems like a great local replacement.

Any conflicts or issues when running Litestream as well?

nodesocket··on Omacon keynote talk with DHH [video]
His passion and oration skills are something to behold. Love the intro tie in with mechanical watches and cars, it's the same level of OCD as us computer nerds.
nodesocket··on John Ternus to become Apple CEO
I wish Apple would lean into gaming and create a competitive GPU system. Does not have to compete with a 5090, but 5070 level and game developers will come and port games. Huge untapped market. I still have to run a dedicated gaming PC just to play games (especially Flight Simulator).
nodesocket··on John Ternus to become Apple CEO
> Apple software is terrible

When is the last time you used Windows 11? I begrudgingly have to run it on my gaming PC and almost every time it's a frustrating experience where I want to put my fist through my monitor. Absolutely awful, zero taste, that will-do software. Windows explorer I believe is still single threaded, the integration of OneDrive into everything (my desktop is stored in OneDrive for some reason) with little to no way to undo it. Don't even get me started on Copilot. My blood pressure just rose off the charts.

nodesocket··on Show HN: Alien – Self-hosting with remote management (written in Rust)
I also used to work with on-premise installs of Kubernetes and their “security” postures prevented any in-bound access. It was a painful process of requesting access, getting on a zoom call and then controlling their screen via a Windows client and putty. It’s was beyond painful and frustrating. I tried to pitch using a tool like Twingate which doesn’t open any inbound ports, can be locked down very tight using SSO, 2fa, access control rules, and IP limiting but to no avail. They were stuck in their Windows based IT mentally.
nodesocket··on Backblaze has stopped backing up your data
I use Backblaze to backup my gaming PC. While .git and Dropbox does not affect me it’s worrisome that OneDrive is not backed up seeing as Windows 11 somehow automatically/dark pattern stores local files in OneDrive.

You have to give Apple credit, they nailed Time Machine. I have fully restored from Time Machine backups when buying new Macs more times than I can count. It works and everything comes back to an identical state of the snapshot. Yet, Microsoft can’t seem to figure this out.

nodesocket··on State of Homelab 2026
I'm at about 150 watts at idle with 2x Intel E5-2640 with 8x drives. I've gone through the BIOS pretty thoroughly and optimized as much as possible.
nodesocket··on State of Homelab 2026
I have a homelab with 4x Raspberry Pi 4's running Kubernetes a GMKtec Intel i5-12450H and a ProLiant ML350p Gen8 (which uses an ungodly amount of power). I'd add the following software/tools which have been awesome:

  - Portainer running on GMKtec & ProLiant
  - Dozzle (docker log viewer) on GMKtec & ProLiant
  - Beszel (server monitoring, awesome) all hosts
  - Kubetail (Kubernetes log viewer on Pi K8s)
  - HomeAssistant
  - Jellyfin
  - UptimeKuma (uptime and notifications)
  - Semaphore UI (ansible playbook runner)
  - Metabase (querying and visualization for dbs)
nodesocket··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026)
Still very early, but I’ve been building Market Diary - https://marketdiary.io. Log daily market thoughts, document trades, and review charts all-in one place. Built for solo investors and teams who want to turn noise into alpha. Powered by Markdown, supports file attachment, teams, and TradingView charts. Free to signup. Would love feedback.
nodesocket··on I run multiple $10K MRR companies on a $20/month tech stack
I run a python flask app on Docker on AWS EC2. Including Dozzle (logs), Beszel (monitoring) and Unami (analytics). Runs on three t4g instances. One being a dedicated caddy exposed to the internet, one being a NAT gateway (self managed) and the main Docker worker host (private). All in cost is $35 a month. You’re splitting hairs and being the typical overly frugal developer instead of founder mode if you optimizing dollars when you have $20k / mo revenue.

What do I get as an advantage being on AWS? S3 (literally like a $1 month) SQS (free tier) and Lambda (async jobs; free tier). Capacity if needed, just scale up t4g instances.

nodesocket··on Artemis II safely splashes down
What a curmudgeon. You must be great dinner company.
nodesocket··on Artemis II safely splashes down
Amazing live video of the descent and splash down. Really awesome to watch!

nodesocket··on Artemis II returns to Earth, splashdown in four hours
I'll eat my words, that was absolutely amazing footage of reentry. So cool!
nodesocket··on Artemis II returns to Earth, splashdown in four hours
I hope the NASA stream has some better live footage of descent than they did of the ascent. Takeoff besides on the pad was almost all computer generated graphics and no live video from space.
nodesocket··on Show HN: Is Hormuz open yet?
typical HN comment when it comes to finance and the stock market. Over and over again the wisdom of the HN crowd is wrong in regards to stocks. Intel at its bottom (they are done, and doomed, listening to main stream media) perfect time to buy and load up. This has occurred over and over again in my 15 years being on HN, almost always they call a bottom.
nodesocket··on Show HN: Is Hormuz open yet?
> It is your money and your choice of what you choose to invest it in, and thus how you choose to shape the future.

Absolutely, but I believe you are conflating investing vs donating. The literal definition of investing is:

> Allocating money (or capital) with the expectation of generating a return or profit over time.

nodesocket··on Show HN: Is Hormuz open yet?
Agree 100% that prediction markets are the wild-wild-west with no insider trading protections, pump and dump, and no oversight. It’s perverting the wisdom of the crowd and efficient market thesis.
nodesocket··on Show HN: Is Hormuz open yet?
Shaping the future for “good” is not investing. That is ESG and if you value capital and capital appreciation ESG has been proven not to be a solid strategy. See also altruistic capitalism with such moral people as Sam Bankman-Fried, Elizabeth Holmes, Trevor Milton and Adam Neumann. Solid list of moral people shaping the future.

Aren't ships turning off their AIS when traveling the straight? I think https://atlas.flexport.com/ could also be a good source.
nodesocket··on Show HN: Is Hormuz open yet?
By this logic would you also consider trading OIL (USO) and Palantir a "obscene" market.
nodesocket··on Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? My quest to unmask Bitcoin's creator
Seems most probable it was Hal Finney. Hal passed away in 2014 which explains the no movement of the Satoshi coins which are currently valued at a staggering ~$75 billion
