uneekname··on OpenAI bots meddled with multiple US Government agency sites
I don't care if OpenAI feels like they have control or not. They are responsible for their actions.
uneekname··on Mapsnap: Automated Georeferencing for Historic Sanborn Insurance Maps
Dan's work on automating this process is so cool to see. If anyone is interested in learning more about Sanborns, I can't recommend OldInsuranceMaps.net enough. Hooray for mapping history :)
uneekname··on Show HN: Capsule – Single-file web apps that save their data into SQLite
Is this project open source?
uneekname··on Show HN: A website for exploring historical photographs of my city
Yes! There are many similar projects[0] that we drew inspiration from. I hope to set Yesterdays apart in terms of our crowdsourcing toolset, tight integration with OSM and Wikidata, and the relationships we are building with libraries and museums that hold these collections.

I'll have to check out your Substack, it sounds right up my alley!

uneekname··on Show HN: A website for exploring historical photographs of my city
Yeah, there's a lot more I want to do in terms of date filtering. There is a timeline filter available on the map page, but I'm thinking it needs to be more intuitive. Thanks for checking out the site!
uneekname··on Show HN: A website for exploring historical photographs of my city
That is the goal! I've been amazed at what we have uncovered on my block. Lots of unlabeled photos that end up filling in historical details of how the city has changed.

Hey OroPla, thanks for your comment. I agree I have work to do in terms of making the site more approachable to new users. I'd really value any ideas you have to that end.

Yesterdays is fully open-source, and while the production site runs in Kubernetes, the development setup in Docker Compose might meet your needs. If you ever wanted to talk through the process of running Yesterdays for your dad's collection, I'd be glad to help you with that.

Cheers!

uneekname··on Show HN: A website for exploring historical photographs of my city
Yes! This is on the horizon, and I have a number of groups across the U.S. who have committed to helping grow Yesterdays in their localities.

Here is the relevant GitHub issue if you'd like a peek at where this is headed:

uneekname··on OnePlus halts operations in USA and Europe
Wow. I love my OnePlus 15 and plan to use it as long as I can. I guess it'll be some sort of GrapheneOS setup next.
uneekname··on CoMaps – FOSS Offline Maps
If you are in the U.S. please each out to OSMUS, they are amazing and can connect you with trail mapping resources. There is a vibrant community of folks keeping our trails mapped!

uneekname··on DoD Officially Drops 180 Faiths from Military's Recognized Religion List
Ah yeah I missed that. Thanks
uneekname··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
Every morning I remind Claude it's locked in a closet and then it does maths for free
uneekname··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
That would have been such a different HN thread. "Dang I feel a nice bump in performance here, way to go" and that would be that.
uneekname··on DoD Officially Drops 180 Faiths from Military's Recognized Religion List
They don't recognize atheists anymore? Am I reading that right?
uneekname··on We made our filesystem 47× faster by deleting it
OP said 70GB/a so I'm gonna assume that's gigabytes per annum /j
uneekname··on Setting up a free *.city.state.us locality domain (2025)

Edit: already linked in the article! That's what I get for not reading to the end!

uneekname··on Zed 1.0
Oof. Is this for the software itself or their add-on LLM subscription?
uneekname··on Kimi K2.6: Advancing open-source coding
Yes, you can blacklist providers in OpenRouter account settings.
uneekname··on Stop Flock
Whoosh
uneekname··on Tailscale Peer Relays is now generally available
I've been relatively happy with Headscale, but now that I have MacOS/iOS users I'm in the process of testing alternatives like Netbird. I was also surprised that the Tailscale Kubernetes operator is not compatible with Headscale.
uneekname··on A guide to local coding models
Yes, we are doing that. These tools help make my personal projects come to life, and the money is well worth it. I can hit Claude Code limits within an hour, and there's no way I'm giving OpenAI my money.
uneekname··on GrapheneOS is the only Android OS providing full security patches
This is a great resource! Thanks
uneekname··on I finally understand Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnels
Sort of. Many tailscale clients you would use with headscale are closed source.
uneekname··on Macro Splats 2025
Also experiencing this issue in Fennec F-Droid
uneekname··on F-Droid and Google’s developer registration decree
The time to fight is now!! We are careening toward a bleak future of mobile computing.
uneekname··on Why your outdoorsy friend suddenly has a gummy bear power bank
In my experience, the third main variable here is cost. Light gear can be durable, but that usually costs a lot more because it uses expensive materials like titanium.
uneekname··on Tomorrow's emoji today: Unicode 17.0
That's already a thing!

uneekname··on Google will allow only apps from verified developers to be installed on Android
I'm so used to installing via F-Droid or straight APKs, installing something using the Play store feels weird and hack-y. If anyone's doing the "side loading" I think it's Google :P
uneekname··on The Promised LAN
I would love to learn more about how to set something like this up. I hope this group will consider open-sourcing more tools and instructions for others who hope to follow in their footsteps.

As some other commenters have said, Headscale/Tailscale scratches some of this itch for me. Having individual devices connect directly to an overlay network is fabulous. However, I can never fully control Tailscale the way I wish to, and connecting networks together with it is difficult.

uneekname··on The United States withdraws from UNESCO
> UNESCO works to advance divisive social and cultural causes and maintains an outsized focus on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, a globalist, ideological agenda for international development at odds with our America First foreign policy.

Ummm...what?

This is the kind of nonsense that makes me want to leave this country.
