Hey HN! We've been building HomeDock OS, a platform to self-host Docker apps with a full desktop-like UI running entirely in the browser. Version 2.0 introduced exactly that, Prism, a window manager with real multitasking: drag, resize

Sure! No formal writeup but here's the gist, base model was Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct, fast, reliable, low ram specs and most of the times fine on cpu. Dataset: ~620 Claude-crafted examples, all following the same pattern, a question you&#x2

The workflow is quite simple, you type a question, the planchette moves across the Ouija board spelling the answer letter by letter. The board shakes, glows or flickers depending on the spirit's mood. Runs fully offline using llama-cpp

In January someone hit us with ~2K malicious backlinks from AWS instances across 15+ regions, cheap TLD spam domains, and even Blogspot. We built a Python script to automate the disavow file generation, then added a UI and Dockerized it. Fu

I'm atm working on a couple of things, first the biz, a self-hosted home server OS that simplifies Docker management and provides a unified dashboard for running services at home. The goal is making self-hosting more accessible without

Benchmarks optimize for fundraising, not users. The gap between "state of the art" and "previous gen" keeps shrinking in real-world use, but investors still write checks based on decimal points in test scores.

Nice! We considered this exact approach but never shipped it in the end. The geolocation permission is probably unnecessary friction and probably an overkill imho... Timezone + rough location (country-level from IP) would get 95% accuracy w

Suffered that back in the day with an Electron desktop app. Not to mention that the notarization and signing integration itself is completely broken. The first time you submit a binary it can take DAYS to process, and setting everything up

Google used to proudly say "Don't be evil"... But they just forgot to add "let us take that part". When tech giants start deciding what technical knowledge is too "dangerous" for users to access, we'v

Yeah, somehow it went from don't micro optimize loops to 500MB Electron apps are just fine actually hahaha

The article is kind of right about legitimate bloat, but "premature optimization is evil" has become an excuse to stop thinking about efficiency entirely. When we choose Electron for a simple app or pull in 200 dependencies for ba

This really resonates. Sometimes the best reason to switch tech is just to feel that spark of learning again. I build self-hosting platforms and have spent years trying to make it “easy”, even getting it to work on Windows/macOS. But h

Fascinating deep dive into OverlayFS CoW behavior. The 11GB btmp file getting copied 271 times is a perfect storm scenario. Did they consider mounting /var/log outside the image layers? Seems like that would prevent any log file f

About time! Nothing kills productivity like waiting 30s for the compiler to tell you it can't infer a type on line 27437 (who needs to refactor?). The diagnostic improvements alone will be worth it really but...

The ICEBlock removal is absurd when you consider Waze has been warning drivers about police locations for... Years? The only difference is which government agency is being monitored. This sets a dangerous precedent for selective enforcement

The sophistication here (SVG > CHM > fileless execution > dual payload) suggests access to commercial malware toolkits rather than bespoke APT development.

/etc/hosts works until you need to change an IP across 10,000 servers in under a minute. Then you understand why DNS exists. DNS isn't just name resolution, I'd say it's kind of load balancing, service discovery, ca

The 10-year research-to-production timeline is the key lesson. Today's funding (VC or government grants) demands results in 2-3 years. We've systematically eliminated the "patient capital" that creates foundational infra

Thanks a lot! That’s a very good point, the game layer is something I’m actively building and still figuring out. I’m actually working on a self-healing P2P network where nodes discover each other through a Kademlia DHT, connect via WebRTC
