patabyte··on Show HN: Share your AI Setup, Learn from others
This is a wonderful idea - didnt know I was looking for this until I started browsing. I found it helpful with surfacing that which I didnt-know-I-didnt-know.

Thank you for putting this together!

patabyte··on Go 1.27
I'm so glad the new uuid package landed - it's overdue but a very welcome addition! I've already replaced github.com/google/uuid with `uuid` in several projects
patabyte··on Claude Code: Anatomy of a Misfeature
My trust in claude code is slowly being eroded and I'm close to running it exclusively in vms on device..
patabyte··on xAI's Grok Build CLI Uploads Git Repositories to a Google Cloud Bucket
More or less, but most harnesses will rely on tools such as grep to only read portions of files. For even a small sized repo, only a small portion would be tokenized and uploaded
patabyte··on ChatGPT Work
> With Codex technology built-in, ChatGPT can now move beyond answering questions to getting real work done across web, mobile, and desktop.

This looks like OpenAI catching up to Anthropic's Cowork.

patabyte··on MicroVMs: Run isolated sandboxes with full lifecycle control
This seems roughly similar to Google's Cloud Run gen2 instance types. My understanding is with the second generation, they are running microvms which are bootstrapped from a container image.
patabyte··on Make Tmux Pretty and Usable (2024)
Interesting, for me `shift+enter` hasnt worked, but `option+enter` does give me new lines in Claude Code's promptbox inside tmux on MacOS.
patabyte··on Nanobrew: The fastest macOS package manager compatible with brew
I'm really interested to learn more about the work on the official Rust frontend - do you have any links to share by chance?
patabyte··on macOS 26 breaks custom DNS settings including .internal
Interesting - I run a nearly identical set, with many TLDs configured in `/etc/resolver/X` and dnsmasq handling the resolve and I have not had a single issue.

the resolver confs all contain this content:

    # /etc/resolver/example-private
    nameserver: 127.0.0.1
    domain example-private
I noticed in the author's bug report they do not include `domain`, which is documented in `man 5 resolver` as:

    # The domain directive is only necessary, if your local
    # router advertises something like localdomain and you have
    # set up your hostnames via an external domain.
In the real world though, I've found the `domain` setting to be required nearly every time. I wonder if adding it will resolve the issue?
patabyte··on Scrt: A CLI secret manager for developers, sysadmins and DevOps
SOPS with Age is simple, and simple is good. I strongly recommend this approach.
patabyte··on Show HN: Nogic – VS Code extension that visualizes your codebase as a graph
I've been having great success with LLMs generating Mermaid diagrams and flowcharts from a repo. Claude Code and Cursor both do consistently great jobs. For example: `generate a mermaid swimlanes diagram of the XX logic flow`.
patabyte··on A $1k AWS mistake
> which every old-school Linuxer should be able to do in their sleep.

Oof, this hit home, hah.
