No its a dynamic link that changes over time and with each user.
rishikeshs··on I got hacked: My Hetzner server started mining Monero
What a coincidence. I also received a similar email and upon investigating, found the same Monero mining on my server. Tried rebuilding the image, but same thing was poping up. Then I did a npm update and that fixed everything!

rishikeshs··on Ask HN: What's a Purchase You Regret?
GoPro Hero 5. The main reason I bought it was for taking wide photos and for capturing stuff when it rains. But the device was terrible for photos from a photography point of view.

rishikeshs··on Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (July 2025)
SEEKING WORK | Remote

I'm a full-stack developer with expertise in Python, Hugo, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. My preferred stack is Python for backend and Tailwind CSS with Daisy UI for frontend, building clean, functional, and visually appealing applications. I have extensive experience deploying static sites (Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Pages) and building Flask/serverless applications. With a background in Renewable Energy, I bring a unique analytical edge and a love for data visualizations. I also excel at product engineering, converting complex requests into manageable tasks, and prioritize well-documented, organized code. Passionate about open-source and helping people build their own personal blogs (like rishikeshs.com). I also run the "10+1 Things" newsletter (~3k readers).

rishikeshs··on Ask HN: Why do AI models frequently use em dashes (–) in their writing?
Yes it has become borderline annoying. Look at LinkedIn now, full of emojis!
rishikeshs··on Ask HN: Why do AI models frequently use em dashes (–) in their writing?
Ah now it make sense. Blame the autocorrect then. I always wondered, how people type these em dashes when you dont have a key on the keyboard!

rishikeshs··on Internet in a Box
I was thinking about this recently! Can we make an LLM-in-a-box ?
rishikeshs··on Show HN: Lately ADHD Journey Planner
Just a small suggestion, please take it constructively! I had to click on the app store link and check the screenshots and description to understand what this was. Some info on the landing page would have been better!
rishikeshs··on Ask HN: Why are LLM UIs so slow?
But is it a front end issue?

I can understand the time taking to process, but the whole tab becomes unusable after a while!

rishikeshs··on Ask HN: How to get reliable live sports data?
I was thinking something like this:

Have the cricket score site open in a VM or something. Then a webjob can take screenshots and process the screenshot to extract the score.

rishikeshs··on Ask HN: How to get reliable live sports data?
Interesting! That’s a great angle to look at.

But don’t know how hard it would be to process the data.

rishikeshs··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (March 2025)
Working on my plain text cricket live cricket site[1]. Just realised after starting that getting reliable live cricket or sport data is super hard. Tried a paid provider[2] and it’s frustratingly inaccurate. Need to figure out a better way!

Also, figuring out a way to visualise manhattan chart, score worm, wagon wheels etc using plain text ascii
