Ah, this a plugin I need. I just _really_ want to navigate with j/k like issue #77 states.

retrofuturismon Do not put your site behind Cloudflare if you don't need to

I'm running a Raspberry Pi 5 at home as a lightweight web server. I put it behind `cloudflared` as to not leak my home IP address, and today I got to pay for it.

Should I just stop being paranoid about "leaking my IP address" and self-host it 100%? All I fear is that my family will have to live with degraded internet experience because some script kiddie targeted me for fun.

retrofuturismon Geotoy – Shadertoy for 3D Geometry

retrofuturismon Gemini 2.5 Pro reasons about task feasibility

That's interesting, but I wonder if it's _just_ the system prompt dictating that a request that would likely consume too many resources and likely fail should be rejected with such an answer.

retrofuturismon 1M Lazygit downloads, one embarrassment at a time

This captures how we "mature" as developers (and humans) when we ship software that other people actually use. A hilly journey of embarassment and pride :)

Thanks for sharing.

retrofuturismon Learning to Reason with LLMs

In "HTML Snake" the video cuts just as the snake intersects with the obstacle. Presumably because the game crashed (I can't see endGame defined anywhere)

This video is featured in the main announcement so it's kinda dishonest if you ask me.

retrofuturismon 9/11 in Realtime

Quoting user nyx from the last time this was posted. >To fix the broken timestamp in the upper right, open your JS console and set timeZone.diff equal to your negative UTC offset. I'm in US Pacific Time, so I ran timeZone.diff = 8

retrofuturismon Web scraping with GPT-4o: powerful but expensive

Hahaha okay I feel dumb now.

retrofuturismon Web scraping with GPT-4o: powerful but expensive

You must get a lot of test emails to that FANTASTIC gmail address. Funny how it might even be worth some decent money.

retrofuturismon Zed AI

Not sure if it's what GP is talking about - but haven't you noticed how many juniors seem to be shooting themselves in the foot with LLMs these days, becoming over-reliant on it and gaining expertise slower?

I've had this in my idea book for years now. Good job on your implementation!

retrofuturismon Bruno: Fast and Git-friendly open-source API client (Postman alternative)

Pretty cool of them to contribute $100k to the project.

retrofuturismon Show HN: SeaGOAT – local, “AI-based” grep for semantic code search

This would make a useful (nvim) Telescope plugin. Looks super interesting.

Information about cut-off date is very much part of its fine-tuning.
