The approach I've outlined scales fine to N servers, it just doesn't work if they're on different networks. But scaling also isn't really a parameter I (or the author) are optimizing for: we have a single beefy server we

I have a very similar setup to the author, but instead of running Tailscale in my initramfs, I have a Raspberry Pi sitting next to the home server (which is on my Tailscale network) and I use it like a bastion host. Process is something l

Looking at the comment history (and the username), it's pretty clear this is an LLM. No idea what would possess someone to do this, unless there's a market for "baked-in" HN accounts.

I don't know if this is common knowledge, but microwaves are great for "mug cakes" [1] (or brownies, or cobblers), where you throw the cake ingredients in a mug, mix 'em, and microwave it. Makes for a great quick dessert

I noticed my Tailscale-based homelab was struggling to serve basic web traffic via an ingress VM, and figured out the problem was DERP-related. Tailscale recently announced the GA of Peer Relays [1], and I wonder if the timing is not a coin

This post was actually really tough for me to read, because it read exactly like the suicide note a friend had sent me (and others) after his partner had died suddenly. It chronicled the joy and happiness in their relationship, her illnes

At $DAYJOB, there's an internal version of this, which I think just uses Claude Code (or similar) under the hood on a checked out copy of the PR. Then it can run `git diff` to get the diff, like you mentioned, but also query surroundin

Yeah, also running a scraper with no rate limit against a government website is a pretty risky endeavor.

> 4mbps write and 30mbps read is extremely slow. It's even slower when you consider the 360 TB capacity -- it'd take nearly three years to write to the whole thing.

I would argue it's more important than ever to make new languages with new ideas as we move towards new programming paradigms. I think the existence of modern LLMs encourages designing a language with all of the following attributes: -

Might want to disclose that you built it. Also, I took a quick look and I don't understand how your tool could possibly produce "even smaller images". The article is using multi-stage builds to produce a final Docker image th

Probably not a bad litmus test for current and future generations of LLMs though, I'd be curious to try it out on the latest crop.

I hesitate to lump this into the "every new technology" bucket. There are few things that exist today that, similar to what GP said, would have been literal voodoo black magic a few years ago. LLMs are pretty singular in a lot of

In defense of OpenAI in this particular situation, GPT 5 can be incredibly jargon-y at times, making it much worse of a learning tool than other LLMs. Here's some response snippets from me asking a question about dual-stack networkin

Oof, thanks for sharing and the well wishes. I'm funding this myself, and my current approach (hopefully!) avoids most of the red tape. I'm leasing fiber from a local ISP for the colo <-> my home connection, and once I have

I'm building a small rural ISP and web hosting service, as a way to learn about low-level networking stuff. I've got an ASN + IP space, and am working out the details with a colo, local fiber provider, and some upstreams. Right no

I think the font is just "different" enough that it sets off something in people. Ironically, it's also the default font used by Excalidraw (Virgil IIRC), and people seem to generally like the style + legibility of Excalidraw

Jellyfin is a self-hostable media server. If they "used Postgres", that means anyone who runs it needs Postgres. I think SQLite is the better choice for this kind of application, if one is going to choose a single database instead

I felt the same way, which is terrible news for me because I explicitly use double dashes in my (100% human) writing instead of em/en dashes -- explicitly because of the LLM association, but they're evolving

ImapGoose is on my radar to replace mbsync and imapnotify in my setup, but I think it's IMAP <-> maildir only, which makes sense for the intended use case of local mail

This should be pretty straightforward to do with an IMAP <-> IMAP syncing tool, like mbsync [1]. You'd run it periodically in the background to sync the remote IMAP to Stalwart's local IMAP server, and Stalwart can then auto
