So using a wrong polishing cloth will damage that special surface, but not the inside of my pocket?

I don't even have anything worthwile on my gitea instance, and the same thing happened to me.

The only thing that ended up helping was disabling access for anonymous users.

Have you seen Mantella yet? https://art-from-the-machine.github.io/Mantella/

tl;dr: let's you talk to all NPCs via LLM. Last time I tried it, latency was too much for it to be enjoyable, your approach seems to be much faster.

Re:Printytron – Type it. 3D Print it on Saturday August 15, 2026 @05:06PM (#49314330)
Oh wow. I ran FreeCAD today to design a little block with 2 holes to 3D print - just a little spacer.

This did in in 2 messages, I'm impressed.

It's called DNSGlobe but it does not feature a globe, only a map :(
Re:Flipper One Tech Specs on Wednesday May 20, 2026 @04:09PM (#48213406)
Not too far from the truth. The Flipper is good as a toy, but for serious RFID things you want a proxmark 3 clone with Iceman firmware ;)
I managed to get `pyvista` to render arbitrary 3D shapes directly to the terminal using kitty graphics. It's a giant hack, only way to make it performant is using shm.

Re:Audio Reactive LED Strips Are Diabolically Hard on Wednesday April 08, 2026 @09:07AM (#47689671)
Had a similar setup based on an Arduino, 3 hardware filters (highs/mids/lows) for audio and a serial connection. Serial was used to read the MIDI clock from a DJ software.

This allowed the device to count the beats, and since most modern EDM music is 4/4 that means you can trigger effects every time something "changes" in the music after synching once.

I wondered the same thing, but characters usually don't reach the edges, so I guess circles fit the average character better?

I have exactly the same Sony Vegas keygen experience as the parent poster, but with the song from your fifth link!

Nothing stops you from creating a PR :-)))
Re:Launch HN: Onyx (YC W24) – The open-source chat UI on Tuesday November 25, 2025 @11:02AM (#46047106)
What does this do that OpenWebUI (or one of the many of other solutions) does not?
Re:The seven second kernel compile on Thursday November 06, 2025 @10:54AM (#45836557)
What are compile times like right now, with modern hardware?
Re:OS maintained by a single developer since 1997: Visopsys on Sunday November 02, 2025 @04:31AM (#45789025)
I believe you are referring to GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.

The link appears to be broken, it redirects me to the main page.
Re:Show HN: Bash Screensavers on Tuesday October 28, 2025 @10:35AM (#45733432)
For tmux users: you can use the lock-command option with something like cmatrix for a quick and dirty screensaver.
Re:Scripts I wrote that I use all the time on Thursday October 23, 2025 @05:42AM (#45680014)
My most used function is probably the one I use to find the most recent files:

    lt () { ls --color=always -lt ${1} | head }

It's hidden in the "Copy" drop down at the top right.

All that's missing is `curl ... | sudo bash` as install instruction in the README
Re:Forking Chrome to render in a terminal (2023) on Friday September 05, 2025 @05:48AM (#45136774)
This needs an option to use the Kitty Graphics Protocol: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol/

No need to render to ASCII/Unicode anymore!

I'm pretty sure the generation could easily run locally on a low-to-mid tier graphics card.

While it might take a bit longer to generate, you're still saving network and authentication latency.

Re:Delphi (Object Pascal) in the Age of AI on Wednesday August 27, 2025 @10:24AM (#45040165)
Some things never die. I'm pretty sure the Borland Database Engine that came with Delphi 7 ('97?) still runs on Windows 11.
Just needs to prevent the system from booting, like CrowdStrike did
