xiconfjs··on Creepy Crawlies
Same here. Have a small gitea instance with cloned projects from github I‘m keeping in case the github version gets removed. Every few days there is an army of bots hammering my small vm with 40k req/min for 20 min straight. I had to install anubis to keep the instance online (while still slowed down).

Thank you. Ordered one to play around and see if this is a viable alternative.

What? How?
xiconfjs··on Email obfuscation: What works in 2026?
WTH, a 302 into a "mailto:" (search for "HTTP redirect" in the featured article) opens up my e-mail client without clicking a mailto link!? This seems wrong.
xiconfjs··on Ollama is now powered by MLX on Apple Silicon in preview
I tried man times but at least with its API active, LMStudio has some kind of memory leaks which will slow down the whole system (after ~1-2 days of uptime) even after unloading the model and stopping LMStudio up to a point where even playing a 1080p video results in frame drops. No such issues with Ollama.

* macOS 26.x on MacBookPro M1 Max 32GB * Ollama on macOS, cursor to play around * Open WebUI [1] on my Homeserver via API to Ollama (also for remote „A.I.“ access) * running gpt-oss:20b, qwen3.5:9b with ease, qwen3.5:27b for more complex tasks

Ollama on MacOS is a one-click solution with stable obe-click updates. Happy so far. But the mlx support was the only missing piece for me.

I waited a minute until my phone got hot.

I need a better display for sure :)

xiconfjs··on Show HN: Horizon – GPU-accelerated infinite-canvas terminal in Rust
This is the only reason I stick to Terminator, but none of the othet terminal emulators are coming close. I wouldn‘t even be searching for an alternative if Terminator wouldn‘t crash every other week.

Except if you are living in a region where electricity is quite expensive :/

xiconfjs··on Report: Microsoft kills official way to activate Windows 11/10 without internet
„just like the gypsy woman said“
xiconfjs··on I spent a week without IPv4 (2023)
Not here in Germany - our T-Mobile Business access only gets a static IPv6 and our main fiber uplink from Telekom (same provider) gets both.
xiconfjs··on Reflections on AI at the End of 2025
My person experience: if I can find a solution on stackoverflow etc. the LLM will produce working and fundamentally correct code. If I can‘t find a already fullfilled solution on these sites, the LLM is hallucinating like crazy (newer existing functions/modules/plugins, protocol features which aren’t specified and even github-repos which never existed). So, as stated my many people online before: for low-hanging fruits LLM are totally viable solution.
xiconfjs··on SoundCloud has banned VPN access
Isn‘t sub-1500 bytes the norm for residential internet access? (DOCSIS and DSL with PPPoE are the most common access protocols here in Germany)
xiconfjs··on Show HN: I built a system for active note-taking in regular meetings like 1-1s
Same here: no self-host, no way. Best would be a one-time payment option.
xiconfjs··on Self-hosting my photos with Immich
I have the same concerns and that’s why I only use software which accept my directory structure as input and isn’t messing with it. I, for example, added my top directories of my image directory structure hand by hand each bit itself as a shared directory (read-only) to immich.

The main reason: I don’t trust software NOT deleting my photos. (Yes, I have an off-site) backup, but the restore would take time.

xiconfjs··on UniFi 5G
FAQ: "Can the UniFi 5G Max Outdoor work as a standalone device?" -> No. The UniFi 5G Max Outdoor must be adopted by a UniFi Cloud Gateway or UniFi Gateway and cannot function independently as a router or modem.
