omani··on Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet?
who is paying you to say that?
omani··on MiMo v2.6
after trying MiMo 2.6 Flash: unfortunately it ends up in infinite loops.
omani··on Xiaomi MiMo v2.6
how do you recognize "claudeslop"?
omani··on Xiaomi MiMo v2.6
yes. I use opencode and opencode uses Xiaomi as a provider.
omani··on MiMo v2.6
ah, would you look at that. I was wondering why mimo 2.5 became "dumber" the last weeks. I was speculating they are probably about to release a new version of the model. because the model really acted out a lot. especially the last two weeks. dont know, was just a feeling, highly speculative.

but now I got my "proof".

omani··on C Is Not a Low-Level Language (2018)
it means C is going the way of classic World of Warcraft.
omani··on Async Rust vs RTOS showdown (2022)
a much better comparison would have been "(Rust) Embassy vs (C) Protothreads-style (cooperative coroutines)".
omani··on Gpiozero Flow
why would you put controller logic into a non-deterministic environment like node-red?
omani··on How to turn anything into a router
you might as well just use vyos.
omani··on 150 MB Minimal FreeBSD Installation
nomadbsd https://nomadbsd.org/
omani··on Show HN: Website that plays the lottery every second
you probably mean "stochastics".
omani··on Put SSH keys in .git to make repos USB-portable
this has to be a joke, right?
omani··on 10 Years of Let's Encrypt
only downside to LE is the attack surface presented by CTLs (Certificate Transparency Logs). as soon as you request a cert, you will get attacks on the endpoint/subdomain you have registered by countless IPs trying to login etc.
omani··on Launch HN: Phind 3 (YC S22) – Every answer is a mini-app
too slow man. come on. you make phind worse and worse. unusable. no need to wait a minute for an answer.

seriously, just use https://chat.mistral.ai/chat folks.

omani··on Launch HN: Phind 3 (YC S22) – Every answer is a mini-app
hey michael, long term phind user here. phind became absolute sh*t. almost every answer is wrong. web search should be on by default to get accurate info. but even then is ends up hallucinating a lot.

if every response starts with "You're absolutely right -- ..." you know phind is hallucinating and you can immediately close the tab.

omani··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
one way to mitigate DDoS is to enforce source IP checks on the way OUT of a datacenter (egress).

sure there are botnets, infected devices, etc that would conform to this but where does the sheer power of a big ddos attack come from? including those who sell it as a service. they have to have some infrastructure in some datacenter right?

make a law that forces every edge router of a datacenter to check for source IP and you would eliminate a very big portion of DDoS as we know it.

until then, the only real and effective method of mitigating a DDoS attack is with even more bandwidth. you are basically a black hole to the attack, which cloudflare basically is.

omani··on You already have a Git server
mine is running on an rpi zero w (v1). super low power consumption.
omani··on You already have a Git server
am using gitea. but thinking of switching to serve (charm).
omani··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
A wifi-enabled high precision load cell for industrial environments.
omani··on A cross-platform multi-target dotfiles manager written in Rust
> This project was driven by the personal need of having to manage several dotfiles for different machines/targets.

the functionality OP is searching for is already provided by chezmoi. and many more features.

omani··on Black Hat Rust
I found the whole book on github.

omani··on Serverless VPN Self-hosted
I could so I did. I wrote one. completely anonymous, private and secure.

the price you pay for is: it is slow.

omani··on Serverless VPN Self-hosted
so someone decided to build around docker + wireguard + a web UI dashboard + use buzzwords like serverless (which it isnt btw) + wrote some third-party API handlers and this is it? this is how you make $50 (once) per customer?

haha

omani··on If not React, then what?
https://www.leptos.dev/
omani··on Safe relational database queries using the Rust type system
everytime I see something like this I question myself why I would want or need this over postgREST.

I mean why reinvent the wheel? we live in a time where the DB itself is a REST API with postgREST.
