Lord_Zero··on Replacing the Kobo Libra H2O Battery
What's the self hosted ecosystem like for these? Let's say I have my own ebooks and audiobooks. Is there whisper sync like features?
Lord_Zero··on LLM Honeypot
"wetware" dungeon crawler carl reference?
Lord_Zero··on Small Portable Weather Radar
Id love to see some pics or a video of this in action and working.
Lord_Zero··on The death and rebirth of my home server
I regret selling mine
Lord_Zero··on Show HN: Running server scripts from smartphone via SSH
Does this need a special agent on my server?
Lord_Zero··on Ask HN: Does it still make sense to write code by hand?
Its rare for me now. Most by-hand stuff I do is setting up initial repositories and folders for the base structure I want, copying logos, assets, images, content, and then I tell AI to finish the rest for example.

Configuring secrets for CICD, .env files, hosting configurations/backups.

Writing instructions files, specs, copy/pasting context, requirements, examples.

I see the argument here constantly "But ur skills!". OK. Well back to work actually shipping software using this new tool that is never going away. My client doesn't really care about my skills, just my speed and they have money for me.

Lord_Zero··on A dock that wakes up reliably
Yeah and the author linked a $1100 monitor lmao
Lord_Zero··on The Making of Claude Code
Yeah for sure lmao.

> @dawn-drain — Research Engineer at Anthropic My main project for my first three years at Anthropic, beginning in 2021, was to try and make a model that was as good at coding as possible— at least as good as me.

Lord_Zero··on Valve open-source the Steam Machine e-ink screen so you can make your own
The real magic is the esp32, it talks to the steam box with Bluetooth. A Linux app sends metrics to the esp32 and it refreshes the display.
Lord_Zero··on Show HN: Inkwell – An RSS reader for e-ink devices
Any more screenshots?
Lord_Zero··on IP Crawl: Living atlas of open webcams discovered on the public internet
"make no mistakes"
Lord_Zero··on Steam Machine launches today
Same, I could have maybe justified $600 to my wife, $800 would be really pushing it. But 1k+ with a controller? There's no way when we have other things to save for. I am sure young single people will still buy it and it will sell out, but my Series X was $550 a few years ago and ill enjoy that in my living room for a while longer.
Lord_Zero··on A website that lists websites to submit your website to
I have a new startup, it's been going pretty poorly. I think it serves a great market and could be useful if it could get in front of the right people. The problem with a lot of these sites is they won't allow you to shill and the ones that do require lengthy sign up processes or money. I tried to post to alternativeto but I had to wait 7 days! Because my account was too new. I considered AdWords but again I'd be paying hundreds or even thousands per month and I have no customers so it doesn't make sense to do that and idk if it would even result in any sign ups.
Lord_Zero··on Show HN: Extend UI – open-source UI kit for modern document apps
Document Splits drag and drop looks weird, like it doesn't drag from where I clicked.
Lord_Zero··on Dealership revoked offer to buy back customer's BMW, blaming wayward AI chatbot
> 31-year-old funeral director

That is a very expensive vehicle for a job with an average annual salary of $51k

Lord_Zero··on Cybersecurity researchers aren't happy about the guardrails on Anthropic's Fable
If we're doing conspiracy theories what if fable is really dumb and not better than opus and the guardrails hide that nicely. Meanwhile the hype train keeps chugging.
Lord_Zero··on Cleaning up after AI rockstar developers
.NET 4.8 only, vanilla JS only, MSSQL on-prem only, IIS only, no Azure ever.
Lord_Zero··on Cleaning up after AI rockstar developers
And in the before times, you learned a lot and walked away with knowledge on the deps needed, connections, .env secrets, and cleaned it all up and documented it so the next dev would have an easier time doing it.
Lord_Zero··on Meteor Explodes over Massachusetts
Okay that thing is cool. I made my own a while back with Pi 4 running https://www.birdweather.com/birdnetpi and I made my own fancy microphones with solder and a fuzzy cover. Worked amazingly well.
Lord_Zero··on Kiki – a tiny homepage construction kit with a small footprint
I am going through this right now! I am provisionally approved and still waiting. Even worse I am going through SMS phone number verification with SMTP2GO.

Apparently if you wanna send automated texts in America, you need a real phone number. And to not get immediately blocked, you need to fill out a form that goes to the major carriers for approval (like AT&T). And the form is not unlike Paddle's verification. You need a company, EIN, samples of what your texts will look like. Massive pain.

Lord_Zero··on VoidZero Is Joining Cloudflare
Not so much about the tech as it's about the talent they aquired.
Lord_Zero··on Roughly a quarter of American professionals hit a wall in their careers
There is no guarantee that will happen.

"Just hold out until they are desperate enough that they HAVE to give you a large raise!" is laughable.

Every single day you don't quit and get paid what you are worth, is a day you are leaving money on the table. Imagine waiting years for that big raise when you could have left and made tens to hundreds of thousands more in that time.

Lord_Zero··on Software engineering may no longer be a lifetime career
It can be incredibly difficult to find opportunities like that
Lord_Zero··on Software engineering may no longer be a lifetime career
Are we sure some of that is just cutting costs while increasing ai spend and then falsely claiming ai replaced them? What better way to justify your ai projects and ai spend than to lay off entry level data entry people and junior devs regardless of the success of your projects.
Lord_Zero··on Software engineering may no longer be a lifetime career
Yeah so most of my friends who are dealing with spike in outsourced devs in their work environments are cleaning up the AI slop churned out by offshore people who are slinging code and getting the business requirements all wrong. Their jobs are now to clean up the mountains of code coming in from people who don't really get the problems they are being asked to solve.
Lord_Zero··on Hosting a site on a Raspberry Pi
I would highly recommend not putting your home network at risk and poking holes into it. If you just self host a public site on your home network you should consider using cloudflare tunnel.
Lord_Zero··on StarFighter 16-Inch
What else came out?
Lord_Zero··on Should I Run Plain Docker Compose in Production in 2026?
Could you elaborate on your setup? Is the docker host also your web server on which you run caddy?
Lord_Zero··on DeepSeek v4
Why no mention of GPT-5.5?
Lord_Zero··on Brave Origin
There is no button or option for me to buy Brave Origin.
