It seams that for "reader apps" (like Netflix / Spotify), things got slightly better (https://developer.apple.com/support/reader-apps/#:~:text=16....):

> Beginning October 1, 2026, reader apps distributed in the EU may promote out-of-app offers for digital goods and services without an actionable link [...]

So you can now at least promote your offers, which was forbidden previously.

A reader app is, in Apples words: "With reader apps, people can sign in to their account created outside the app, letting them view and enjoy previously purchased media content or content subscriptions on their Apple device."

one note, on the "Feel your sensitivity." page, it says " raw input off — OS mouse acceleration is active. Your browser couldn’t give OpenAim raw mouse input, so your OS acceleration curve is reaching the game: the same hand motion turns further when you move faster, which no aim training survives. On Linux: set your mouse’s libinput acceleration profile to “flat” (unaccelerated). Chrome and Edge deliver raw input directly."

but my mouse is definitely unaccelerated (confirmed via `xinput list-props pointer:"Logitech PRO X 2"`). i am unsure if this leads to erroneous results when aim training.

i'm on: Chromium 150, linux, x11 kde plasma.

That said, this is a pure gaming PC with a Desktop Linux installed, it's not like there's a lot running on there in the first place: no 5 random docker containers, no AppArmor and nothing in kernel space other than what comes by default with CachyOS.

The security and availability of my servers is as important to me as the ability for anyone to access the public services I provide. Which is why I responded to you immediately and asked for your cooperation to help me fix the problem.

You not being cooperative helps no one. Not yourself, not other people with the same issue and not me who's trying to fix it.

Crowdsec is free btw, I do not pay anything.

My webserver is using crowdsec (https://www.crowdsec.net) to ban malicious IPs and I would guess that you are somehow unintentionally affected by this.

You can also test your IP by entering it into the crowdsec website to see if it is affected.

To achieve 333 fps in Quake Live, you can unlock fps with `250x` and then use an external frame limiter, setting that to 333.

I haven't tested this, but I would guess that they addressed this bug in Quake Live.

Tho I still would expect there to be some physics-related issues and other oddities when running the game at 1000 FPS.

altought i prefer the default HN interface, i think the ui is generally fine and you did a good job and avoided overengineering.

with a text heavy page like HN, the most important thing is imo to carefully choose a font family and font properties (line-height, letter-spacing, etc.). as is, the default HN does a better job with this but leaves a lot of room for improvement as well.

personally, i'm using a few lines of css to add dark mode to default HN and zoom in to 125% cause the default font-size ist too small for me (an old person).

just remember that it works the same for everyone: you input text, magic happens, text comes out.

if you can properly explain a software engineering problem in plain language, you're an expert in using LLMs. everything on top of that people experimenting or trying to build the next big thing.

idk, but if you already assume that the LLM knows what TDD is (it probably ingested ~100 whole books about it), why are we feeding a short (and imo confusing) version of that back to it before the actual prompt?

i feel like a lot of projects like this that are supposed to give LLMs "superpowers" or whatever by prompt engineering are operating on the wrong assumption that LLMs are self-learning and can be made 10x smarter just by adding a bit of magic text that the LLM itself produced before the actual prompt.

ofc context matters and if i have a repetitive tasks, i write down my constraints and requirements and paste that in before every prompt that fits this task. but that's just part of the specific context of what i'm trying to do. it's not giving the LLM superpowers, it's just providing context.

i've read a few posts like this now, but what i am always missing is actual examples of how it produces objectively better results compared to just prompting without the whole "you have skill X" thing.

Kinds of is the point tho, you're hogging resources you don't actually need (not talking about traffic here ..).

People probably spam-provisioned cheap CPX boxes to get cheap bandwidth.

Also, complaining about a "large 27.52% price increase" is kind of absurd when the absolute value of the increase is just under 2€.

If you even find new devs who'd want to work on this. Who wants to acquire very niche domain knowledge that you can't apply anywhere else?

It's not a hassle. Setup once and then forget about it. It's dead simple, easy and there's a million tutorials on it online.

But it's boring (this is where I'm going to old-man-ramble about things, so better stop reading now). Imo, that's why we have so much bloat, complexity and overkill use of containerization that requires orchestration in software and devops. We don't go the easiest possible route, but the one that seems interesting and most fun.

I totally get playing with new stuff and going totally over board just to host a static html file for a personal project, with the goal to learn something new. But it's not just personal projects, it's whole companies that adopt this kind of approach, not even thinking 2 years ahead, when the "cool new software" you used is now not only not cool and new anymore, but abandoned and unmaintained.

I get that this is just a random "i did a thing" blog post, but this just annoys me :(

On first connect to a server, this sync all the dotfiles i want to a remote host and on subsequent connects, it updates the dotfiles.

Idk if this is "special", but I haven't seen anyone else do this really and it beats for example ansible playbooks by being dead simple.

   Match Host 192.168.123.*,another-example.org,*.example.com User myusername,myotherusername

i see he posted the bloomberg article now. imo, reading "Supply cut would rip through Germany’s industry within weeks" and interpreting that as "if Russia cuts of the gas, there will be economic Armageddon in Germany" is pretty extreme, but i guess people interpret stuff differently.. that's fine, just let me form my own opinion about your statement by citing a source.

that was never up for discussion and would certainly not help with the problem that the whole discussion is about: a potential short term energy shortage related to russias invasion of ukraine.
