That's what I figured, I didn't see anything in the docs about it

Really cool idea and project! There are 2 things I would need to understand before trying it out though:

1. How can I run more than one instance of the server?

2. When running more than one instance of the server, how would the filesystem interaction work between servers?

Re:Major U.S. energy org targeted in QR code phishing attack on Wednesday August 16, 2023 @01:03PM (#37150053)
I've started thinking about a verifiable format for QR codes. https://blog.xqr.dev/introducing-xqrs-the-next-evolution-in-...

I've written a library in Rust to handle this as well as a CLI example: https://github.com/xqr-dev/xqr-rs

It's still early stages, so feedback would be helpful!

At the various companies I've worked at, we usually want to post our job postings in the monthly "Who's hiring" thread. It's always been a pain for me to rewrite our job postings to match the Hacker News style.

I thought it would be nice to be able to have someone else generate a summary for me; that someone is AI. I wanted to find a practical use case for myself to build using AI and now I'm sharing it for others who might find it useful.

I've been trying to transfer money from Chime to another bank that doesn't support Plaid.

It's hard to fathom that this, or any, app is worth this much money. Also, how does Oracle have that much money lying around for an acquisition??

Show HN: HookActions – Webhooks for Developers

I've been working in software for a while and at every company I've worked at I've always had the same problem: webhooks are hard to manage. Some third parties just have an API to create and view your webhooks and no way to actually test the webhook. Even when some do have a UI to manage them, I needed to keep a google doc of all the different places we had active webhooks.I started building...

Re:Ask HN: What's with all the unpaid interview projects? on Monday January 27, 2020 @08:17PM (#22165555)
I like Basecamp's approach of not having live coding in the interview. They discuss past projects and you walk through some code you're proud of or think is interesting.

1. https://m.signalvnoise.com/hiring-a-programmer-ditch-the-cod...

2. "... you’ll submit some code you’re proud of, review it, and tell its story. Then on to an interview. Our interviews are one hour, all remote, with your future colleagues, on your schedule. We’ll talk through some of your code and some of ours. No gotchas, brainteasers, or whiteboard coding." from https://apply.workable.com/basecamp/j/F2CB808F33/
