While I spent most of my career working on games (mobile, web, VR, desktop), I also did my fair share of sysadmin and website/application development. FLOSS user and advocate, currently looking for new work opportunities.
I share the analysis, and am stunned by the gaping loophole they are exploiting. Is it the end of open-source?
Re:Ask HN: Is there a no-LLM license yet? on Friday February 13, 2026 @05:48AM (#47001284)
I mean a clause along "don't ever have any LLM read my code" either for training, or for making a vibecoded output.

How does it work legally? IANAL so I have no idea and that's why I'm asking.

Ask HN: Is there a no-LLM license yet?

I'd like to keep sharing code online but would like to limit it's usage to prevent LLM training and usage on it. I've seen licenseI can't be the only one looking for such a license, but I fail to find one. Do you know of any existing license, jurisprudence, or group working on redacting such a license?I know licenses exists preventing the use of code in armament or other specific sectors, so...

Re:Ask HN: Could you share your personal website here? on Thursday January 15, 2026 @03:31AM (#46629752)
https://berru.info/ - personal website
Ho wow, the sample video shows incredible results, I'd love to read more about how to configure it with my own laptop and microphone. Settings ought to be different for each laptop model, right ?
I found it interesting to see that it is actually used by law enforcement and some public workers in France. The technical reports look kinda convincing, but otoh they use AWS as a backend and did not disclose their server code so far.
Re:The Pain That Is GitHub Actions on Thursday March 20, 2025 @05:59AM (#43421305)
I don't see sourcehut [0] mentionned here. I tested github and gitlab CI, sourcehut is MILES ahead. I'll drop two key features here : - any CI run successful or not, gives you back a ssh URI so you can log into the machine to inspect/tweak/tinker - CI files are NOT in the project's repository. no need to wrangle with your git branches when working on CI anymore

Coming from the same background as the author and about checks notes 15 years older (ouch), I loved Niri very much. However I never managed to make x11 windows behave correctly. At the moment the solutions are a bit cumbersome [0] and I didn't manage to have a smooth experience so far...

It's not Show HN / Tell HN because I didn't make the site. But I like it and wanted to share.

It's not, it's made by saint11 [0] who worked on Celeste.

To clarify : I'm not the author/host of the site. Saint11 [0], who worked on the recent "Celeste" platformer, is.

Man I'd love to have a screenshake setting for that
Well the manual setting for the background color doesn't seem to work anymore except for Apple products:

Too bad the background color is deprecated, I'd like it better with a good ol solarized theme.
Re:The Techno-Optimist Manifesto on Monday October 16, 2023 @11:26AM (#37901173)
I'm very skeptical of anyone trying to fit history in a single narrative. This whole text sounds like an over simplification.

It also presents the usual contradiction that any neo-liberal argument is "not a political argument". The author states :

> Techno-Optimism is a material philosophy, not a political philosophy.

Then proceeds to glorify the techno-capital (their term) and shun communism. How is that not political ?

While I do like technology and optimism, I prefer a more honest view. I think I'm glad this manifest exists: I disagree with almost every item of the list, but it's useful as a reference of the views of rich techno-advocates capitalist and everything wrong with it.

Re:Ask HN: Show me your half baked project on Friday October 13, 2023 @08:29AM (#37869834)
I developped a social non-network trying to optimise for positive interactions. I have a CLI version running happilly on a pubnix (rawtext.club), and am looking for a way to host it on the web too.

So unless you're part of RTC I can only share the blog and readme at the moment :-/

Re:ASCII protocol buffers as config files on Friday October 06, 2023 @04:26AM (#37788345)
I might be an outlier here, but except when data size is a real constraint, I tend to favor XML. (ToML being a good contender, but I don't have enough real-life experience with it yet)
I was glad to learn about the 1942-1944 musician strike. Didn't know about it, there is a wikipedia article about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1942%E2%80%931944_musicians%27...
Re:Google Bard enters open beta on Tuesday March 21, 2023 @10:49AM (#35246994)
The page is utterly undescriptive on what google bard is. Given the hype about Large Language Models recently I assume it's yet again a chatbot of sorts ?

Can anyone here enlight us ?

The depth of the simulation mostly.

I even used it as a table top role playing game, where I was the only one seeing the screen, would describe the situation, and players come up with the actions. There were no action they asked for I couldn't perform in the game.

Or you can use an alternate frontend like:

https://invidious.projectsegfau.lt/feed/popular

or any other instance:

https://api.invidious.io/

Hey, the steam webpage states:

> Evidence-based and community certified.

While I'm convinced this kind of stuff can help,I wonder what kind of evidence and certification you can build on that kind of game. I didn't find any documentation on the website.

Care to share more ?
