spookyuser··on Show HN: Clawdstrike – a security toolbox for the OpenClaw ecosystem
very cool, for me it's exflitration, openclaw doesn't run on my actual computer so there aren't a ton of credentials to leak, but wherever openclaw is running it needs to have basically unfettered internet access, that's what makes it so valuable but also so risky and I think exfiltration is the biggest risk there
spookyuser··on Show HN: Git-Fit – A workout app for people bored to death waiting for vibes
Yay, will try it! I also vibe coded something in swift with claude recently and was shocked at how well it came out. Are you still in cape town btw?
spookyuser··on Show HN: Git-Fit – A workout app for people bored to death waiting for vibes
Okay - the GitHub repo with only a readme looks like malware tbh, but I really love the idea and hope you make it open source
spookyuser··on Show HN: Git-Fit – A workout app for people bored to death waiting for vibes
Why did you say roast the code and then publish a repo with no code?
spookyuser··on How I Search in 2024
also exa.ai
spookyuser··on Most people on antidepressants don’t need them
Awesome, congrats! I don't really have an offramp planned rn but will probably start thinking about one at some point.
spookyuser··on Tell HN: WhatsApp Is Down
I feel like iMessage is also being weird
spookyuser··on Most people on antidepressants don’t need them
So glad to hear that ♥ it's such a strange feeling that is really hard to describe
spookyuser··on Most people on antidepressants don’t need them
Sorry to hear that :(
spookyuser··on Most people on antidepressants don’t need them
SO glad to hear that ♥ how do you feel now that you're off it
spookyuser··on Most people on antidepressants don’t need them
wow yeah I also had a very specific activation dose which was 20mg, although I definitely did feel better on the lower doses too, but something definitely happened after 20mg where things felt black and white different
spookyuser··on Most people on antidepressants don’t need them
so happy for you ♥ and yeah such a weird feeling, reading this thread it seems like a real problem and i'm not exactly sure what the solution is, but I think unless other people are noticing that you are extremely anxious and are specifically recommending you see a doctor, I'm not sure it's possible to notice yourself unless you are in the habit of taking dsm tests for fun, and even then I'm not sure that would work b/c some of the questions are "how often do you get anxious" which presumes you know what the feeling of anxiety is vs the feeling of "not-anxiety"
spookyuser··on Most people on antidepressants don’t need them
I can tell this thread is going to be a nightmare but whatever I really want to share my experience in case there are people similar to me that need to hear this: I cannot emphasise enough how much Escitalopram (lexapro) has helped me with issues I didn't even know I had until I started taking it. At which point I realised I was living in a constant state of anxiety up to that point, and I probably should have been on it a long time ago, but I never ever thought I reached the criteria for being "medicated" so fwiw I think it's also possible to underrate your own feelings and think you don't need them when you do.
spookyuser··on GitHub Copi­lot inves­ti­ga­tion
This is so stupid I can’t believe how this community has become toward some of the most inspiring new technology I’ve seen in a decade.
spookyuser··on GitHub Copilot, with “public code” blocked, emits my copyrighted code
The way that copilot seems to understand not just variables from the file you’re working with but functions classes and variables from all the files in your folder is incredible!
spookyuser··on Low Earth Orbit Visualization
I love you saw a train a while back because of your site
spookyuser··on Comfy Software: A software aesthetic for hackers with depression
When I think of comfy software the first thing that comes to mind is the aesthetic of kinopio
spookyuser··on 40% of Google users now connect via IPv6
Thanks!
spookyuser··on 40% of Google users now connect via IPv6
Can anyone tell me why my iPhone has 4 ipv6 addresses but only 1 ipv4 address. I just don’t understand what’s happening here
spookyuser··on GitHub Code Search (Preview)
It’s honestly incredible I would say as helpful as copilot
spookyuser··on Fresh is a new full stack web framework for Deno
Have recently been getting pretty deep into Hugo for a 3rd project and while I love how fast the static sites Hugo builds are. I absolutely hate how every tool I love using takes hours to setup and how it take hours to debug random tooling integration issues between Hugo and node like postcss etc. so much so that despite how much I know Hugo and static sites in general are more often than not the way to go for a lot of things I have been recently reconsidering how much perfect optimization is worth if it takes so much effort to get when something like fresh can deliver what looks like a much better developer experience though perhaps without the perfect optimization
spookyuser··on Map of Reddit
I love this and specifically street view, thank you for making it :)
spookyuser··on An Ode to Apple’s Hide My Email
Hide my email is great but I've also really been enjoying the new duck email service that does the same thing just because it's quicker to use on windows, where you have to open icloud, create a new email and paste it in.

In fact the duck email service is nearly perfect, except for the fact that the extension forces you to use duck as a search engine and so you literally have to modify the chrome extension and store it locally if you just want the email service.

spookyuser··on Starship Update [video]
Exactly - to the people saying he speaks awkwardly, I prefer Elon speaking awkwardly and genuinely so much more than Sundar Pichai or Tim Cook giving a perfectly spoken but essentially 100% marketing bs presentation.
spookyuser··on Show HN: Find alternatives to almost any popular GitHub repo
This is really cool, just found something I'm going to use in a project because of this!
spookyuser··on Tell HN: A Conversation Needs to Be Had over Subscription Software
Yes ugh, The App store is basically unusable right now because nearly every app requires a subscription. Maybe I shouldn't complain about this since I have a subscription service myself, but don't really know what alternatives I have since the service requires fixed costs. But still ugh.
spookyuser··on Bitcoin consumed 134 TWh in total during 2021
Wow this is so weird, I've had this exact same idea before! I don't know if you're familiar with Dark Forest strikes from the Dark Forest book, but in the book, or the one after that, aliens use bombs that slow the speed of light in the space of single solar systems, to prevent civilizations from becoming threats. Always thought it would be funny if actual dark forest strikes were just the bitcoin whitepaper and bitcoin/crypto eventually use up all available resources before civilization can become a problem lol. Hope someone makes this an actual story someday.
spookyuser··on Ask HN: What browser extensions are a must-have in 2021?
That's a great idea! I never knew i wanted this until now!

Edit: Just found this: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/time-zone-converte... seems to work great not hover but right click and select

spookyuser··on Ask HN: What browser extensions are a must-have in 2021?
Okay one I haven't seen mentioned that I have been using a lot: Chrome Currency Converter, you can have it configured that when you press a shortcut all currencies on a page are converted to your local one. For me, when I press Alt-c the whole page changes from $ to my currency
