Re:What was your "Oh Shit" moment with GenAI? on Saturday June 06, 2026 @08:21PM (#48430533)
I started using different LLMs and gguf files locally then graduated to Gemini, then Claude code. I created about 12 different apps and projects, some web based for my catering business, several old games from the early 90's, and a secure communications apps and an app to protect vulnerable people who found themselves in difficult or undesirable situations. This trip has been nothing BUT fun for me! My ADD addled brain loves coming up with random thoughts for apps and fixes for older problems that I simply haven't had to time to learn about and address. I then build them for fun... I LOVE this stuff!!!

A riff on "The Revolution Won't Be Televised"...

the revolution won't be televised because the bastards who own the networks won't let you see it and you probably wouldn't watch it anyway— you're too busy with your beer and your phone and your comfortable numbness.

the revolution won't be televised because it's not entertainment, not something you can half-watch while you're scratching your ass and wondering what to eat for dinner.

you can't consume revolution like you consume everything else— passive, bored, already thinking about the next thing.

the revolution won't be televised because it happens in the place you're most afraid to look: inside your own goddamn skull.

it starts when you stop lying to yourself, stop swallowing their garbage, stop pretending this is fine. it's not on TV. it's not coming to save you. it's just you and the choice to keep sleeping or finally wake the hell up. nobody's going to film that.

Re:Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here? on Wednesday July 05, 2023 @06:30PM (#36608106)
https://g33kinfo.com

Mainly a Linux administration site containing tweaks, software, how-to's, and other random stuff. I started this blog for my own benefit so I could remember those little tweaks or fixes which escape memory at crucial times when a needed repair or a new issue arose that I had never dealt with before. When I would research these issues, I would come across great posts and information I wanted to remember and posted that information here. Enjoy!

pay to post? Naaa bruh... naaa
beautiful sort command:

du -sk ./* | sort -nr | awk 'BEGIN{ pref[1]="K"; pref[2]="M"; pref[3]="G";} { total = total + $1; x = $1; y = 1; while( x > 1024 ) { x = (x + 1023)/1024; y++; } printf("%g%s\t%s\n",int(x10)/10,pref[y],$2); } END { y = 1; while( total > 1024 ) { total = (total + 1023)/1024; y++; } printf("Total: %g%s\n",int(total10)/10,pref[y]); }'

Ask HN

Question: would it be difficult to change HN so that all links/posts open in a new tab/window?Is it just me or does anyone else hate having to right click on every post to open it in a new tab?or, am I just an asshole...

I use hCaptcha on multiple sites and honestly, it does the job well. To those who claim it hurts business, yes it adds an extra step to the verification process but it also keeps you and the rest of my visitors safe.

It almost feels like that the inconvenience of using a multi-layered system equates to the people who want to get back to eating in restaurants while in the midst of a pandemic and will then complain if they catch Covid-19...

linkage?

looks like some kind of bot that was scanning for specific file types... they all 404'd so nothing was found from what I saw.

You can block the ip in the firewall of that (assumed) bot and maybe create a complicated iptable rule blocking any bots that send a get request for xxx.filename maybe?
