yroc92··on Deno 2.8
I use (and like) both. Bun is a drop-in replacement for node. If you don't want to fuss with test config, tsconfig, esmodules, etc., I find that it just works. Deno has a nice standard lib, great CLI support, and I used to love deno deploy but its gotten very clunky these days.
yroc92··on Jaguar Land Rover hack cost UK economy an estimated $2.5B
I had a 2015 f type. The day before it was to be transferred to the new owner, the engine smoked out on the highway. I don’t recall why, might have been an oil leak.

I’m also interested to hear ideas for this.
yroc92··on Show HN: Cloud-Ready Postgres MCP Server
User isolation in a single data store. Basically, many customers sharing a single database securely without sharing their data.
yroc92··on Fine-tune Google's Gemma 3
We are at Scribe[1]. We do it to make sense of knowledge workflows on computers to predict the next step in the process (our software points out where in the DOM a user might need to interact with next). We fine tune with tons of JSON data and DOM data. I’m sure doing it with code no more complicated.

yroc92··on Zero-Trust Architecture with Caddy
This is a great article! It’s very helpful to see what a system-wide setup looks like with Caddy. It’s also crazy how easy caddy makes configuration for a zero-trust environment. Well done.
yroc92··on Homebrew 4.1.0
Yeah I don't understand that logic. How do you improve or even know what's going on with the service if you have no analytics?

yroc92··on Ask HN: Should I give up and get a job?
My advice is to never actually build anything for a business unless you have paying customers beforehand. I made a simple landing page with Webflow that described a product idea I had and got mid-five figures from a company to essentially build the MVP for them.

You need to validate your ideas before you invest your time. Otherwise you’re building in a vacuum and you will continue to fail.

yroc92··on Heroku Is Down
I tried out DO App Platform and it’s pretty decent. There were a few bugs I encountered. One glaring issue is the lack of static IP’s which was a must for me. They claim they’re working on it, however.
yroc92··on Heroku Is Down
I use fly.io in production. It’s very good if you’re comfortable with a CLI. However, I wouldn’t say it’s nearly as beginner friendly as Heroku. Heroku is dummy easy to get started. Netlify is about as simple too.
yroc92··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2021 – Show and tell
Using Caddy it’s not too hard if you know what you’re doing. But if you have many nodes you’re deploying it’s starts to get more complicated. A lot of people don’t know what they’re doing, however.
yroc92··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2021 – Show and tell
I started AppMasker (https://appmasker.com) a few months ago. It’s basically a reverse-proxy as a service (using Caddy) and makes adding custom domains to your web app a breeze.

Still working on my marketing pitch so feedback is welcome!

Agreed. It's not perfect and can be buggy.

I think too much time is spent defending the decision unnecessarily. It’s a good switch.
