Noticed it too. Feels like an LLM that ingested all old blog posts and did it's best to match the style. But it doesn't feel human anymore.

That server is now $51.09 for those wondering See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48540844

Thank you
They'll be forced to embed alternative stores in the PlayStation.

I won't wait for it though. After 28 years of always having a Sony at home, it ends here for me at the age of 35.

What a horrible page to navigate
Re:Design and Implementation of Sprites on Thursday January 15, 2026 @01:12PM (#46636672)
Tried it. Docker wasn't preinstalled so asked Claude to do it and make sure it's running (supervisord or the likes isn't preinstalled).

It neatly did so and "registered" it as a sprite service. Then I exited my session, waiting for the sprite to go idle, but I don't think it ever does.. Still have it active. Don't know how to idle it.

Can't tell for sure if this means I'm losing credits as there is no billing usage shown anywhere.

Also waiting for the moment where I can launch a sprite from another's checkpoint.

Thank you
Re:Ask HN: Are you using SQLite and Litestream in production? on Saturday January 20, 2024 @09:45AM (#39068017)
I was about to explore sqlite/litestream but didn't because we have two services (cron and admin-web) that write to the database. Regular www-web services are read-only.

We only have one instance of cron and admin-web. We could make sure they are always on the same host. So reading this made me happy.

Do you have a blog/gist where I can find/steal some of your work?

We were contemplating going to GitHub. This sealed the deal.

> As GitLab’s first price increase in more than five years

How long ago did they force Bronze users to their "Premium? Feels like less than two years ago.

Did not think about in-app browsers. Good point
What do you mean?
Re:SirTunnel, a Personal Ngrok Alternative on Saturday January 28, 2023 @10:18AM (#34558224)
One of the killer features of ngrok (for me) is that it neatly logs all request- and response data.

Does anyone know of an alternative that does this as well?

Re:Tailnet Lock on Wednesday December 14, 2022 @07:45PM (#33993291)
I have and it works just as fine for me.

TailScale seems to have a better ui and more tooling (File sharing, SSH, ...). Even though those recently led to RCE[0]

Re:Ngrok Raises $50M on Tuesday December 13, 2022 @11:22AM (#33970963)
Anyone knows an alternative that also keeps track of the incoming requests and their response data? Preferably with the option to replay requests.
Re:Podman Desktop: A Free OSS Alternative to Docker Desktop on Wednesday November 09, 2022 @04:48PM (#33538397)
Docker Desktop for Mac released an experimental file sharing implementation back in March[0]. It made working with Docker bearable.

Does anyone know how well Podman performs on Mac? Especially file sharing.

Edit: A quick Google led me back to this HackerNews comment[1]. Looks like Docker for Mac is faster.

Re:Fix it, Fork it, Fuck off (2019) on Thursday August 25, 2022 @06:32AM (#32591859)
And then you see it get marked as stale and closed after a month of inactivity.

I hate that practice with a passion. I don't care there are 1000 issues open. I do care there are 1000 unresolved issues closed by a bot.

I should create a bot that auto-replies "I believe this is still unresolved" for issues I have under the "File it" category!

I clicked and as you said, there is a lot of political video's and violence but also a shit ton of pedo-talk.

Added it to my pihole. And now I need some feelgood or else I can't sleep tonight

Did you think yours would?
Re:Tell HN: GitHub is down again on Saturday November 27, 2021 @04:56PM (#29363975)
Nope. Been self-hosting for four years without any issues.

We only do security upgrades or wait for x.1 upgrades. Never x.0

The hosted .com however I wouldn't recommend.

Re:AWS Lambda Cold Start Times on Tuesday October 12, 2021 @11:00AM (#28840578)
Have your runWarm sleep for 500ms and execute 50 of them concurrently. As long as none of the functions are finished and you start a new one you get a new instance, at least that's what I think.

You can get 50 hot instances that way no?

I'd rather scale per connections. Have a lambda instance do 50 concurrent requests. Something like https://fly.io but cheaper.

It does not for me. I was under the impression it only hides ads. I'm using ublock origin on mobile but still see the cookie notice.
