veverkapon GitHub has not removed malicious imitation software after 3 weeks

They aren't trying to scale support. If anything, they are trying to throw AI at the problem. The support team is understaffed and overwhelmed.

veverkapon GitHub has not removed malicious imitation software after 3 weeks

GitHub support is full of amazing, hard working people.

It is also comically understaffed. This is not because they can't find people to work - it's not given the budget necessary.

You mention OTEL stuff in passing (Jaeger, etc). Did you ever consider using an open standard like OpenTelemetry? I admit it's challenging to get it going but standards can be helpful.

I was thinking the same thing - wouldn't blob storage or a CDN help?

veverkapon Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)

Recently two selfhosted open source file sharing platforms archived their repos indicating no further updates (most recently https://github.com/kyantech/Palmr).

I wanted an opportunity to learn more Svelte so I created Enlace which has a Go backend and Svelte frontend.

It's nearly complete but I would love any assistance with testing.

veverkapon Surfboard Makers

We are a small team that builds deployment software, and we use AI tools extensively to do it. Poke around our repos and you’ll find a CLAUDE.md file right there in the root, sitting alongside a homepage that says “human-centric.” We don’t think that’s a contradiction, and we’d like to explain why.

Any thought of adding the ability to receive faxes too? I notice that most of the sending places don't offer that and it might be a difference if it's not too expensive.

veverkapon Ghostty is now non-profit

While you're not wrong, I think this undersells a little how much Mitchell has given of his time to OSS. Yes, he's fortunate that he doesn't have to worry about money, but even when he did, he still contributed openly and freely.

That's part of what drew lots of us to HashiCorp in the first place - giving back.
