I really enjoy finding old imageboards that have been abandoned for years, sometimes decades. A lot of them are on waybackmachine, but finding out about them is often the hard part. I created a chan discussion board on my own imageboard (

A company isn't the same as a corporation. A corporation is a legal privilege granted by the government to give a company legal personhood. Thus the word "corporation", from latin "corpus", signifying that the state

OP here, I play CTFs occasionally. Mostly HackTheBox and 13chan (as you can probably tell lol). Feel free to email me and we can link up for some CTF time, I'm always looking for hack friends.

13chan's first monthly Hacker News themed CTF challenge. An homage to my two favorite sites (13chan and HN). I don't think it's too hard but feel free to request hints or leave feedback :)

Oh, that's interesting! I've only ever needed Command-P for webpages, and on Firefox, for me, Command-P saves to PDF by default so I've never had to worry about that.

Cool! It seems to basically do the same thing as the ncdu tool that 13chan recommended (but via GUI instead of TUI). Installed, thanks :)

HN posts are always so fancy and impressive, so I decided to create a blog that's the opposite - me doing basic operations on my computer. I enjoy using my computer, so maybe you'll enjoy reading about it. Or maybe not lol. Either

This is so cool. I wish I could read this right now but it's late so I'll have to dream about it. Happy new year btw, thanks for posting this!

When people post on X, I feel like they tend to have "clout" in mind. Even if they're not chasing it, people think of a post with a lot of likes as "doing well". This conditions people to post certain kinds of conte

Yep! I am indeed that anon haha. Embarrassing code is the most fun. I love seeing how devs code when no one's looking and there's no pressure. We're not in a job interview lol, you should see some of the React code I've

OP here, I recently deployed an imageboard for fun: http://13channel.crabdance.com/index.html Feel free to visit. Obviously it's the main chan I use, since I made it lol

I definitely feel like each programming language I've learned contributed uniquely to my mindset as a hacker. And even ones that didn't really contribute to my thinking, opened up new doors. For example, C opened up open source (a

I've programmed extensively in QBasic and TI-BASIC. Both were extremely limiting, ofc. But there is one thing I'm very grateful for, in retrospect. Both languages required very few "concepts". Functions? Pointers? Classe

Oof. I bet people are reticent to post any comments here. That's good - it's hard to post about this topic in a way that doesn't detract from the overall tone and quality of HN. No one wants to post some James Damore screed d

Thank you! At first glance, Bluesky seems great. I like X and don't care about Musk or problematic speech, but Bluesky is showing me accounts I like, whereas it's hard to convince Twitter to show me content I want to see. Maybe it
