Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, looks like I have some more thinking about how to frame this.

Ask HN: Hosted Fossil for small teams – interesting, or wrong call?

I've been working on a hosted Fossil SCM service for a few months and I genuinely don't know if it's a good idea. The "We need a federation of forges" thread on the front page today made me think it's worth posting.What I'm building: a hosted home for Fossil repos. Same onramp feel as a code host, but each project is a single self-contained SQLite file you can clone, email, or walk away with....

there's a host your own version thats available now https://fossilrepo.dev live server (demo) in fossilrepo.io which is a modern wrapper UI. There's also the standard https://fossil-scm.org/ which you can also host yourself on a $5/mo server on Hertzner or the like.
The core issue for me is, I don't want to trust someone else with my code, or run my stuff on their computers. I don't see serious enterprise organizations offloading something as critical to security outside their own network perimeter.

Show HN: Hugoifier – convert any HTML template to a Hugo and Decap setup via AI

https://github.com/ConflictHQ/hugoifier

I built Hugoifier to solve a problem I kept running into: simple projects have existing HTML templates or want a simple website, but setting up Hugo properly (layouts, partials, hugo.toml, content structure) plus wiring in a git-native CMS takes real time even when you know what you're doing.Hugoifier automates the full pipeline: ...

Show HN: PlanOpticon – Extract structured knowledge from video recordings

https://github.com/ConflictHQ/PlanOpticon

We built PlanOpticon to solve a problem we kept hitting: hours of recorded meetings, training sessions, and presentations that nobody rewatches. It extracts structured knowledge from video — transcripts, diagrams, action items, key points, and a knowledge graph — into browsable outputs (Markdown, HTML, PDF).How it works: - Extracts frames using change detection (not just every Nth frame),...

Vibe coding for the win... In all seriousness, this has been a constant decline as developers have focused away from performance and optimizing effective runtime.

I've had the pleasure to work with Patrick on a couple of occasions and can attest to him being an amazing developer and a great person both in and outside the office.

Most of all he's great at deep diving into complex problems and situations and come out with a good solution.

  Looking for an SRE/DevOps and/or Management of ops related teams
I work in a place with an "unlimited" vacation policy, your release being discretionary by your manager per your delivery and current work load, etc. However its also been shared that you may only take up to 2 weeks at a time, essentially killing someone's opportunity to work for a while and do an extended euro trip or something. I tend to do 1 week at a time so I get maybe 2 and some odd extended holidays here and there.
