usrme··on We built our house for LAN parties (2024)
Agreed. It's clear that the owners have considerable financial resources, but seemingly no one thought to hire an interior designer/architect to consider how the place looks or functions outside of the gaming aspect. If that's their style, then more power to them; it just seems incredibly generic and like wasted potential.
usrme··on Show HN: GET Together – A social network where you don't need POST to Post
Is this a tongue-in-cheek implementation of something someone off-handedly mentioned as a joke in the OpenAI wiki communication comments?
usrme··on Being ambitious and being a dad
I've seen something similar with regards to neglecting child development, but instead of nappies, they're just not fed properly. People who have more disposable income than I could imagine, but are strapped for time, feed their children the simplest, most low effort food imaginable. Think a cheeseburger from McDonald's, plain pasta or bread, frosted flakes, etc. Their excuse is that their child won't eat anything else, but more often than not it's a matter of getting them accustomed with other foods, which of course takes time and effort.

I'm getting to the point where I too feel like I most likely won't be noteworthy in any professional sense (i.e. a name known across the industry), but at moments like that I take solace in the fact I'm taking time to spend with my son, learn alongside him, and provide him a life that I never had in so many other ways.

usrme··on Bible as RAG Database
Thanks for creating this, this is really fun to play around with! Is the code for this out in the open if someone would want to peek under the hood?
usrme··on Ten years of ClickHouse in open source
Same question here!
usrme··on Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI?
I'm right in the target audience for this as I'm about to embark on a Kubernetes certificate. What is the proportion of official K8S documentation and your own notes and how could someone differentiate between them on that site?
usrme··on Show HN: Homebrew 6.0.0
This is described here (https://docs.brew.sh/Tap-Trust) if you scroll down a bit.
usrme··on ChatGPT for Excel
I'd love to get a link to that comment/post!
usrme··on The Missing GitHub Status Page
This is actually addressed at the bottom of the page, somewhat: https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/#about
usrme··on Every book recommended on the Odd Lots Discord
Agreed. If that would be too cumbersome to add, then a simple counter showing how many times a book has been recommended would help guide, me at least, a little better than just categories.
usrme··on Anti-aging injection regrows knee cartilage and prevents arthritis
This sounds interesting. Would you be able to share more information about this style of running? I'm having a hard time imagining how this plays out in real life.
usrme··on Show HN: Enroll, a tool to reverse-engineer servers into Ansible config mgmt
An incredible undertaking! How much testing have you done with regards to harvesting a manual configuration into Ansible, creating a new machine and then applying that to see whether the machine is a functional representation of the old machine?

The reason I'm asking is because I'm interested in how much confidence could be lent to this tool with regards to more old and obscure machines that have been running for years.

usrme··on Dagger: Define software delivery workflows and dev environments
Like my guy 'diarrhea' already echoed: using CUE absolutely does not make sense at a small scale; just write your YAML and get on with your day. We were using it to generate dozens upon dozens of GitHub Actions workflows from what was essentially a single source of truth, and because CUE can export to JSON too then that single source of truth could then easily be leveraged to provide other input files to be used elsewhere.
usrme··on Dagger: Define software delivery workflows and dev environments
When I got started it was much more difficult as you had to do a lot of manual work to get things started, and you really had to believe the promises that CUE offered (which I did...), but nowadays they've made so many steps in the right direction that getting something going is far quicker!

Here are a few links to whet your appetite:

- https://cue.dev/docs/getting-started-with-github-actions-cue...

- https://cue.dev/docs/drying-up-github-actions-workflows/

- https://cue.dev/docs/spotting-errors-earlier-github-actions-...

Definitely read through the CUE documentation (https://cuelang.org/docs/), watch their YouTube videos (https://www.youtube.com/@cuelang/videos), and join the community Slack channel (https://cuelang.org/community/). I've gotten a lot of help in the Slack from both enthusiastic community members and from the developers themselves whenever I've gotten stuck.

usrme··on Dagger: Define software delivery workflows and dev environments
Dagger was something I looked into two or so years ago before they got consumed by the LLM and AI agent hype, and while the promise of being able to run the exact CI workflows locally seemed excellent, it seemed that there's basically no way be a Dagger user without buying into their Dagger Cloud product.

I ended up opting for CUE and GitHub Actions, and I'm glad I did as it made everything much, much simpler.

usrme··on Show HN: ReadyKit – Superfast SaaS Starter with Multi-Tenant Workspaces
I wasn't able to see some example images or a demo video. That would be great to have before setting things up.
usrme··on Show HN: Toolbrew – Free little tools without signups or ads
I've been wanting to create a similar holiday optimizer tool myself, but what you've done is marvelous! Do you take requests for new countries? I see that you're using https://date.nager.at/ as the source and country is listed, so perhaps it's easily doable?
usrme··on Dear GitHub: no YAML anchors, please
Seconded. I've had huge success with generating workflows with CUE. Would definitely recommend it to anyone struggling with YAML.
usrme··on The Deletion of Docker.io/Bitnami
There was actually a really terrible brown-out by Poetry (a Python dependency management and packaging tool) where they introduced sporadic failures to people's CI/CD systems: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/pull/6297
usrme··on The Deletion of Docker.io/Bitnami
Thanks for mentioning these! Do you know what are the official channels they're doing the announcements in? In the post they just mention the word "usual" with no clarification.
usrme··on The Deletion of Docker.io/Bitnami
This is covered in the official GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitnami/charts/issues/35164

Q: What will happen to the existing OCI Helm charts? A: The already packaged Helm charts will remain available at docker.io/bitnamicharts as OCI artifacts, but they will no longer receive updates. Deploying these charts will not work out-of-the-box unless you override the bundled images with valid ones. *except for the BSI images included in the free community-tier subset.

usrme··on I watched Gemini CLI hallucinate and delete my files
I would be really interested to see what your prompt was!
usrme··on Grokking NAT and packet mangling in Linux
If you enjoyed this, then definitely read through Tailscale's lengthy write-up about NAT traversal: https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works
usrme··on Show HN: Ikuyo a Travel Planning Web Application
I would definitely recommend adding example images directly to the main page, along with the link to the example trip. Otherwise there's nothing really to draw users in to using if they have to go searching for how the experience looks like.
usrme··on I do not remember my life and it's fine
Fellow aphantasiac here: it's not so much a memory of that very situation happening, for me at least, but the feeling of it happening and some of context around it.

Same goes for tragic and happy events: I can't remember their details, but I remember my emotions.

usrme··on I do not remember my life and it's fine
As someone with aphantasia and SDAM, this is what I've literally done for the past 4-5 years. I've kept a log of every single work day so that I could refer back to what I've done over whatever period as otherwise there is literally no chance I'd be able to recollect much of anything.
usrme··on Cory Doctorow on how we lost the internet
The link to the discussed talk is at the very bottom of the post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydVmzg_SJLw
usrme··on Show HN: Forge – Secure, Multi-Tenant GitHub Actions Runners on K8s or EC2
The link to examples also leads to nowhere: https://cisco-open.github.io/forge/examples.
usrme··on Ask HN: Where do you reliably find worldwide remote jobs?
I recently came across Remote Yeah[1], but I can't vouch for its viability personally. It might help discover some companies who are at least willing to go down the remote route.

usrme··on The Pain That Is GitHub Actions
To get around the horror that is YAML, I wholeheartedly recommend writing GitHub workflows in CUE and generating the required YAML out of them. I'm hopefully never going back to writing YAML myself!
