I don't know what is more impressive: that someone thought of such a whacky idea or that they actually implemented it. It's very creative and I can see someone who thinks like this seeing opportunities others wouldn't.

Is it me or are the standards for 'home routers' just basically horrible? I don't work as a security researcher or anything but in my time I've found multiple router vulnerabilities across manufactures. Everything from e

The issue that stands out to me with this is its not using coroutines. Python developers who don't know everything about the GIL, threading, blocking v non-blocking sockets, processes, all of that can of worms, are going to try regular

I think this could help me keep track of my increasingly complex infrastructure. But this program is going to have access to... a lot of very sensitive stuff. All the private keys to login... I'd feel much more comfortable if it were o

People who advocate for IPv6 are always like 'ahhhh just plug it in and its ready to go!!!' There's even twitter accounts that shame people for how they approach IPv6. But after doing a crap load of network programming I can

Transmission? I mean, in the history of mental illness there have been many instances of psychiatric contagion. E.g. the laughing plague of 1962, the sleep sickness of 2010 in Kazakhstan, and I suppose you could say that 'suggestibilit

I'd love to work on something like this. But the internet archive themselves don't seem too interested in it I guess.

If anyone from the archive.org team read this: love the website, by the way. You've saved so much rare content its really awesome.

It's probably just some kid with a botnet that's showing off. You all give these people way too much credit, lmao.

HN hates cryptocurrencies but 'equity' to me is even worse than the worst shitcoins. It's an IOU that the company controls (and one people think is a tangle part of their 'compensation.') Just imagine if a company t

W-what? Lad, have you used chat-gpt? It can instantly give you intelligent feedback on anything (usually better than any expert community like 90% of the time.) On extremely detailed, specific tasks (like writing algorithms or refactoring)

Ask HN: Anyone ever think of using the ocean to build an alternative Internet?

If they bought the super computer with the goal of doing actual computation I really hope they know what they're getting themselves into. For example: if you just look at the clock speed and the cores you might think that you can calcu

I see this as a two fold problem: (1) Most young people are insecure as anything and have unhealthy self-esteem. (2) Culturally the west is very (and I mean very) ashamed of nudity. Problem (1) isn't something that can be done half-ass

Gonna be honest. I feel that using those glasses that look like they were included in a cereal box as UV safety glasses is peak low IQ. Risking your eye sight which is supposed to last a life time to see a tiny black spot in the sky = not a

I see these kind of things as a sad commentary on how out of touch our lives have become that we need to invent a false sense of accomplishment to do anything. Imagining some poor office worker bored out their minds from data entry, trying

Bootstrapping is an interesting problem. If there's a large P2P network (think like Gnutella) there's papers that have proposed using port scanning of residential IP ranges to find peers that belong to the network. It's an in

Quite a solid project and approach. Both founders seem smart and to know the problem well. I can see their new framework (Pear runtime) getting huge in the future.

[...] using STUN. I'm convinced no one actually knows what STUN is. I always see these references to STUN in P2P contexts. STUN is just a shitty protocol that shows what your external IP and port is. That's literally it. You can&#
