Re:Stranger Things creator says turn off "garbage" settings on Tuesday December 30, 2025 @04:40AM (#46431349)
> Duffer’s advice highlights a conflict between technological advances and creators' goals. Features like the ones he mentioned are designed to appeal to casual viewers by making images appear sharper or more colorful, but they alter the original look of the content. By asking fans to turn these features off, he is stressing the importance of preserving the director's vision.

is it just me or does this article's last paragraph feel particularly AI generated..

whether the author did use AI or not isnt my main gripe -- it's just that certain wording (like this) won't be free from scrutiny in my head anymore :(

Funny coincidence reading this while in the middle of rewatching Dune 2 on Netflix
I gave Claude access to supadata YT transcription and obsidian MCP to convert them to "permanent note" format and it's helped tone down my YT addiction a lot

We can't really talk about this topic without mentioning the book "How to Take Smart Notes" by Soenke Ahrens

One key takeaway is if you want to learn/remember something better, always rewrite things in your own words as both the act of writing AND paraphrasing makes it more sticky

Re:Exposing a web service with Cloudflare Tunnel on Saturday July 12, 2025 @08:40PM (#44546489)
I use CF tunnels all the time at work and for my side projects but I've always found the web ui for remotely managed tunnels a bit hard to use. I recently asked Claude to help me build a TUI so I can easily create and manage them:

https://github.com/justingosan/tunnelman

Just yesterday I added support for adding a traefik reverse proxy that has (just) basic auth (for now) for a little bit of added protection

Sounds a bit nitpicky now that I put it into words but most of my usage is just on the public hostnames panel which is about 3-4 levels deep from the dashboard. There is also a UI disconnect between this and the DNS records screen

I do this flow a number of times and the TUI I made solved this specific problem for me https://github.com/justingosan/tunnelman?tab=readme-ov-file#...

I wish I'd found this project sooner. UI looks quite sleek!

I love working with CF Tunnels but I got frustrated with their lackluster web admin ux that I recently decided to have Claude whip up a quick terminal interface for it

NextDNS Privacy and Parental control features works really well for me
Re:I Tried Windows Gaming on a Mac and It's Amazing on Saturday April 26, 2025 @08:58PM (#43808572)
with good latency, services like airgpu and Nvidia GeForce NOW makes it trivial to game even on the iphone nowadays
tried this before. great for videos, images but fonts were hard to read and edges were blurred. i concluded it wasnt conducive for work so i decided to sell it and stick with my laptop
Can you get it out on Geforce NOW too please so us mac users can also partake? (Also curious on the process behind enabling it on Geforce NOW actually)
Re:Show HN: MyCoder, an open source Claude-Code alternative on Tuesday February 25, 2025 @11:00PM (#43180460)
I've been using aider for a while now. It can get pretty expensive with sonnet but I guess it's no different from claude-code
Re:Bitwarden Authenticator on Sunday February 23, 2025 @07:52PM (#43154770)
I just literally spent a week transferring all my authy keys to Bitwarden's somewhat hidden OTP generator feature. nice to see they finally made a standalone app. Now I'm gonna find out if both are integrated..... (I really hope so)

I'm super curious how these special TLDs perform when it comes to SEO and user recall

Using Blink shell VSCode connected to a remote VM (for a working terminal) is quirky but absolutely amazing nonetheless
Re:Tusky has been removed from the Play Store on Wednesday March 17, 2021 @08:45AM (#26490287)
For context: Tusky is a lightweight client for Mastodon, a free and open-source social network server.

We arrived at the same insight while implementing several digital patient assistance programs across different markets. In PAPs which require doctors to register vs pharmacist registration, the latter outperforms the former in adoption and engagement. Doctors seem to be too damn busy to take time to onboard themselves with the PAP apps even though ultimately they aid the patients in terms of medication cost.

A Google Spreadsheet powered online store SAAS platform: https://www.gridmart.io (still in alpha). We decided to pursue this project after getting an average of 4 inquiries per month from different clients who want to customize/add more integrations to their [insert current ecommerce solution] site

My friend's work laptop is a victim of this same attack... all the way here in the Philippines.

There was a company wide email blast to disconnect all workstations from the internet at once.

Fascinating development

For my fellow vue.js enthusiasts, check out https://github.com/alibaba/weex for compiling "vue-like" syntax to native apps
I had no idea most of these amazing projects existed. Thanks for this
Re:Heroku Status: billing issues on Thursday February 18, 2016 @11:27AM (#11126876)
This is the 2nd time it's happened to me (1st time occurred 2 years ago) so I was 99% sure it was a mistake. Still threw a support ticket for good measure
