Re:Ten Basic Clouds on Thursday May 28, 2026 @11:12PM (#48318554)
Lol, i expected a comparison between the major cloud providers but had a hard time believing there would be ten of them.. Anyway, I should take a day of to look at some real clouds.
Re:Lightweight, highly accurate line and paragraph detection on Sunday September 21, 2025 @10:00PM (#45328406)
Would this be of help with YouTubes auto-generated subtitles? I hate the fact the words appear just in time one by one, unlike traditional complete sentences that appear fully one at a time.
Took me a while before i understood it was to store physical items. For a second I was thinking some battery solution-like grid storage system. A few photos on the homepage would help a lot and make it much more clear for noobs like me.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to disable autopilot/mdm with this?
Re:CSS-only infinite scrolling carousel animation on Thursday September 05, 2024 @03:08AM (#41454297)
It’s <marquee> with extra steps, except for the pause which i’m not sure is possible
Filament is incredible, a bit of a learning curve but once you get used to it the possibilities are endless. Saves so much time.

Re:Lnav Logfile Navigator on Tuesday June 18, 2024 @05:49AM (#40715774)
LNAV is great, i’m so happy to have found it recently.

I’ve made a Caddy server lnav configuration file a while a go, for who’s struggling to parse the default JSON logs produced by Caddy.

Re:PHP in 2024 on Wednesday April 10, 2024 @04:30AM (#39988329)
PHP is slowly gaining ground on strict typings and every update brings new features. It’s really fun to see losely typed methods over time being refactored to typed methods, giving you that slight peace of mind in every step. Big kudos to the PHP and Laravel community.
Re:Web Scraping in Python – The Complete Guide on Tuesday February 20, 2024 @03:09PM (#39446246)
+1 on the question about scraping behind authentication. One huge use case we have as an ecommerce store is to crawl data from our vendors, which do not have (or incomplete) export files
Re:Security flaws in an SSO plugin for Caddy on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @02:06AM (#39355321)
Huge credits to the Caddy team, I’ve been using Caddy for all of my production projects over 4+ years and it’s absolutely rock solid. Never had an issue with it. Unfortunate a 3rd party plugin here is causing fallout by other HNers dumping their negative remarks here. Still, a security plugin which seems to have holes in it is a bit awkward. I’m sure someone will pick up what’s needed to be done.
Re:Hoppscotch Desktop Application on Thursday November 09, 2023 @06:48AM (#38203845)
Although sometimes too much, I think the way fly.io starts their blog posts with a description of what they do is brilliant. I have no idea what Hoppscotch is and reading the first paragraphs I still don’t.
That should be clarified in the HN title, imo
I’d be interested in this as well! To answer your question, I imagine a list of tasks available to work on which I can pick up tasks from whenever I have time.
I can’t use my left arm and programming with one hand is very draining. What would you suggest I’d take a look at? Is programming by voice a thing already?
Re:Tips for Building Resilient Payment Systems (2022) on Sunday June 18, 2023 @11:48AM (#36381303)
For payment processing? Mollie has been good so far, however because it's an external payment processor we pay additional fee to Shopify.
Re:Tips for Building Resilient Payment Systems (2022) on Sunday June 18, 2023 @01:18AM (#36377544)
I wholeheartedly recommend against using Shopify Payments, as they simply cut you off on a moments notice and they can’t explain why. This is the exact response we got from support:

> Regrettably we cannot share the specific reason or share further details about the rejection.

Like what? We applied, you approved, a lot of legitimate transactions happened and now you cut me off but can’t explain why? You really can’t trust them.

Re:Awesome Docker Compose Examples on Monday February 27, 2023 @12:40AM (#34953417)
I agree fly.io comes close, but you’d still need to transition to ‘something else’ for deploying your compose project.
Re:Awesome Docker Compose Examples on Sunday February 26, 2023 @03:11AM (#34943934)
I think I’ve asked this question before but I really don’t understand why there is no managed docker compose hosting solution. I think Swarm did that, but I believe they stopped? Every project I worked on used compose locally, but had to transpose to some k8s/nomad setup in production. I’d love to just run ‘docker compose deploy’ or publish or whatever and it just gets deployed to the cloud + load balancing and autoscaling. What am I missing?
Re:Carving the Scheduler Out of Our Orchestrator on Thursday February 02, 2023 @01:31PM (#34631015)
I’m annoyed by the way this is written. The topic is super interesting but the author tried to hard to be funny and being a non-native reader it’s difficult to determine if certain words are technical jargon or trying to be funny.
Re:Ask HN: Where can I go to become a VPN configuration ninja? on Saturday October 29, 2022 @03:43AM (#33381914)
Create two droplets on for example DigitalOcean and try to create a VPN between them. You’ll learn most by just doing.
Re:Docker Compose best practices for dev and prod on Wednesday August 17, 2022 @09:34AM (#32496144)
This is something i’ve been thinking about for a long time and your comment made me think about it again. I’ve seen many companies developing using docker-compose but deploying their software in a different way (on bare metal, kubernetes or nomad). Why hasn’t anyone build this yet? I’m afraid I’m missing something so starting on this my own is risky.
Re:SSH tips and tricks on Wednesday August 17, 2022 @01:11AM (#32492589)
It’s been a while, but i’ve created a tool that makes it easier to save an alias to your “.ssh/config” file called ssh-save-id.

Re:Dear Spotify, can we just get a table of songs? on Saturday June 04, 2022 @04:20AM (#31618134)
Agree to this. I recently wanted to see a list of songs of one artist. I could not find it..
