Why is it that people tend to believe a maintainer of a project has the right to also be governing public discourse of said project?
Shameless plug for HARDBRUT as well: https://supernihil.github.io/hardbrut/

Dark/light, accent colors but otherwise no customization. Going after standardized ui. Css blob with builtin font, or no font. Kotlin components as well

it sounds like you actually gave if 5 seconds of your time, which is appreciated. if you'd like to give it a bit more i be happy to receive any feedback on [email protected]
yup, i am working with a local freecycle group. but very loosely. you can try and search for "svendborg" to find a place with atleast an item. the whole idea is to be local. so it deliberatly only shows items within the map bounds
using a ton of p2p stuff, trying to be local/offline first, trying to be distributed, trying to be very very smartypants and clever. totally made with ai, but on the basis of an old project. why AI? its a freetime project, im not professionally working with software anymore, small kids, stress allergic, project is ok to fail etc etc etc. code is here: https://github.com/sloev/saysheep
Re:Show HN: Rust UEFI UI Lib on Tuesday March 31, 2026 @09:38AM (#47587208)
A no_std + alloc immediate-mode UI library targeting UEFI firmware.

made to make it possible for me to make a decent text-editor only os (with usb drive saving) for a friend that doesnt like network access and distractions.

also just a fun ride down the uefi rabbithole :-)

Sorry. I only test my lulz-ware in android chrome. I have fun and then wanna show people my toys so they can play with them.

What do you mean by embedded browser? From your message its hard to figure out os, browser, versions, device or really anything. "It works in chrome" :-) I get an install process going in both android and ubuntu.

Btw. Have you checked my code on creating the charts? I really had fun making them without libs/etc. Its just svg with some translateX stuff hehe

Have a great one!

Ask HN: Anonymized Distance Between Geolocations

I am thinking a lot about whether there exists a form of algo for calculating a distance between two users without exposing either location to oneanother.I am thinking a sort of hanshake like DH.case: User a wants to know the geodistance to user b and vice versa

PagesCms – free web CMS for GitHub

I was using publii until recently for managing my github sites but it was cumbersome to have to do all edits from a single labtop. Pagescms allows me to do online edits using a browser with github login.Example on how it looks: Https://sekvens.buro.earthHttps://pagescms org

really? i see it as clipart (think word clipart), so just some tacky fill for the eyes :-)
Re:Simkojn – offline verifiable currency using simcards on Tuesday October 01, 2024 @01:24PM (#41711424)
When thinking about offline currency and simcards we identified the following:

verifiable centrally issued identifier printed on card and can be verified by inserting into any phone

coin-like small physical tokens

offline verification processes could be as simple as a distributed poster with whitelisted id's

distributed and decentralized bootstrapping based on trust in accepted id's.

Serverbased (Fediverse etc.) vs. Offline P2P

A thought on server based albeit decentralized (matrix, fediverse etc) versus offline first p2p based coms: This friday i had a discussion with some local hackers on an unimportant subject. However i wrote that i had started a telegram thread about the subject and got a lot of critic for using that instead of the matrix server they had setup. My argument was that since both were server based i...

Re:Music video coded in Python by two schizophreniacs on Tuesday October 24, 2023 @10:48AM (#37999930)
We are: Kasper (Otpei): https://soundcloud.com/otpei * 37 years old * musician in all areas * early pensionist on danish welfare * daily meds: 150mg venlafaxin, 3mg reagila

Johannes (Supernihil): https://supernihil.github.io * 35 years old * visual code monkey and exploiter of all things unnecessary * on welfare but working 9 hours weekly as a gravedigger * daily meds: sertralin 150mg

the video: the track is called "Ro" (calmness in danish) and is made 3 years ago but we finally got around making a video for it. The video is made using a midi export of the track and using the notes as triggers for a programmed artificial paintbrush that paints using a brush that contains motifs of old greek sculptures. Furthermore a video of Kasper's face has been tracked in 3d and moshed using turing patterns and inserted hanging in the empty void. Finally the original sound triggered brush strokes has also been partly repainted using turing patterns and old film grain.

Troubleshoot/faq: Load site, click listen link in the top, refresh site

What is it: A live feed of anonymized obfuscated samples, from the decentralized diy heating infrastructure of freetown christiania, is translated into velocities and pentatones for different instruments (hashfunction of data selects instrument) and played live in browser using js midi lib. We supply heating to about 500 entities, and sample once per minute.

Re:Show HN: Spacy sentiment analysis using onnx on Tuesday March 14, 2023 @08:02PM (#35161509)
Had a fun time implementing a spacy (python nlp) pipeline component around a onnx sentiment model.

I can recommend onnx as a way to reduce the danger of having tech dept in your models as onnx has a more stable format.
