> If you use multiple devices throughout the day, registering passkeys in all of these systems becomes a big headache
This is why you use hardware keys which work across devices like yubikeys and the like.
I have two of the old neos and two of the newer usb c + NFC enabled ones.
No issues.

I got an LLM to analyse all of my messages and e-mails from the launch of gmail to work out my writing style, it says I heavily favour em-dash's. I used to work in the industry of type settings and press and publishing. I even use — in HTML when I have to write it nowadays. em-dash is not a LLM thing. It's just most people don't know how to use it. It also said I'm wry. Go figure.

Re:Show HN: Aethalloc – lock-free Rust memory allocator for Linux
on Thursday March 19, 2026 @03:59AM (#47436237)
No, it uses LD_PRELOAD symbol interception, not binary patching.
This isn't the Rust Allocator in nightly. This is a drop-in replacement for the system's malloc implementation.
Think jemalloc, tcmalloc and mimalloc.

https://github.com/shift/aethalloc
Hi HN,I've built aethalloc (https://github.com/shift/aethalloc). It's a high-performance, drop-in memory allocator I wrote in Rust.To be honest, standard allocators were absolutely choking on my NixOS router/firewall. They were hoarding memory like mad because packets get allocated on an RX thread and freed on a worker thread, basically knackering standard thread-local caches. It was also...

Same can be said for people using LLM agents to complete jobs faster than humans ever possibly can. It's not like they just fluked it. They've learned how to harness the capabilities of the tech. Now companies are introducing this stuff as a normal workflow but they are clueless as to how it actually works and expecting 10x output from people.

FFmpeg should just dual license at this point. If you're wanting shit fixed. You pay for it (based on usage) or GTFO. Should solve all of the current issues around this.
Re:Fallout from the AWS outage: Smart mattresses go rogue
on Tuesday October 21, 2025 @02:02PM (#45659239)
Matter turned into a cluster fuck of devices. Use you're android phone to provision a device and connect it to your setup, most people use Google Home or homeassistant, smartthings is also an option, maybe others. But it's only to onboard the device for the most part. It'll still connect to your WiFi, give you next to no visibility as to what's going on in a failure and no interface to control it should your controller go down.
It's also not very well supported in things like homeassistant, despite what they say.

Of course I have. It's nothing impressive and far from a 100% clone of the CEEFAX page. But its a start if someone wanted to take it further. I was more interested in trying out ratatui with Gemini.

Auth forwarding[1] is normally the route. This allows you to basically zero auth your services. You can also use wireguard or tailscale[2]
