Re:How to Build a Minimal ZFS NAS Without Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS on Wednesday July 08, 2026 @03:20PM (#48836263)
> So now I have a large script which debootstraps a Debian based NAS into being.

Is part of this publicly available? After seeing, - https://words.filippo.io/frood/ - https://0pointer.net/blog/fitting-everything-together.html

I've been looking at setting something up with mkosi/systemd for my home server/NAS - it's interesting seeing how different setups are solving the problem for inspiration.

I wish this had some remote collaboration/shared notepad. I got tricked by all the cursors

This is really cool, now I'm tempted to add some kind of interactive element like this to my website. reminds me of the 2000s internet online user/views counters
Re:Show HN: Don't click this button – testing the internet's patience on Monday March 24, 2025 @04:43PM (#43465219)
Thank you for clicking!

Haha nice point of reference (LotR) - I ended up not storing user-agent/ip etc, only 8 bytes for the timestamp. I was initially going to dump the clicks on sqlite but it felt a bit OTT, so I just keep appending the 8 bytes to the end of a file.

I regret not keeping more details, would make for an interesting an analysis and as you said unlikely to hurt storage unless more people were clicking.

Thanks! Thank you for sharing this, TIL about The Button - looks much cooler and interactive, wish I'd thought of this haha.

After making this I also learned about the Global Caps lock: https://eieio.games/blog/the-global-capslock-key/

Re:Show HN: Don't click this button – testing the internet's patience on Sunday March 23, 2025 @01:20PM (#43454305)
Yeah hahah, I suspect a lot of the clicks have already been automated, when I went to sleep it was at around ~4k clicks and in the morning it had gone up to 140k clicks

Curious to see how much load/clicks the hacky Go code will handle

Re:Show HN: Don't click this button – testing the internet's patience on Sunday March 23, 2025 @01:16PM (#43454279)
Yeah, I did not expect it to be that short . Not shared with many people apart from some friends and here in HN, so I was expecting a few hours more.

Haven't looked much at the traffic/clicks history yet but curious to see activity over time since this started

This weekend I was looking for a side project to play around with Go so I built a simple web experiment to test the self control of the internet: it has a single button, a live click counter, and a timer. I want to see how long the internet can collectively resist clicking it.The backend is a very simple Go binary with Go's std http server, web sockets, a WAL-style log of clicks, plain CSS and...

Bitwarden Authenticator is a separate service. Even if you don't use bitwarden you can use this apparently

That's why I said "clean room implementation". Any reason why Pumpkin does not build on top of Valence? Would be great to see a more cohesive ecosystem for Minecraft servers in the rust community rather than reinventing the wheel

~~Well, worth nothing that the original prompt you provided didn't include the suggested strategy~~

Gemini Ultra answered this correctly for me: " It's impossible to say for sure if Jake will like salmon or cheese based on the information given."

Mhm could be a region thing maybe? Not working for me on Gemini Advanced in the UK
Re:Gemini Ultra Released on Thursday February 08, 2024 @07:40AM (#39301240)
Is image generation working for you?
Re:Gemini Ultra Released on Thursday February 08, 2024 @07:16AM (#39301057)
It doesn't seem like it's using Gemini Ultra yet. For me it seems like only the interface has been updated since the image generation capabilities are not working.
Re:Free and Open Source Alternative to Airdrop on Monday January 22, 2024 @03:06PM (#39094684)
Good point, it doesn't quite fit the same purpose as AirDrop & other alternatives. Useful if you want to share files between your devices though!
Re:Free and Open Source Alternative to Airdrop on Sunday January 21, 2024 @11:12AM (#39079756)
I think the modern alternative is Nearby Share which works via BLE or WiFi with Android / Windows / ChromeOS

If you already use Tailscale, Taildrop [1] works great.

This is a great transparent and clear description of what is actually going on in attention layers.
