NetOpWibbyon The Lightbulb Computer

This is an awesome concept. How do you see this working across several rooms (if you've thought this far)? This would be great for when I have ideas in the shower.

NetOpWibbyon Cloudflare acquires Deno

...well, who decided to embrace Node compatibility?!

The DX of Deno far surpasses Node (or at least it did, idk if Node has caught up in that regard).

What are the big problems you see that still need solving that a future Deno (fork) could handle?

EDIT: Talking to people in the Discord and was reminded that the community may have been the inspiration. Adoption was low so boom, add Node compatibility and now adoption grows. MEH.

If I'm doing a fork, I'm removing Node.

NetOpWibbyon Ideas aren't getting harder to find (2022)

Agreed. I've long wished for a second renaissance and while I didn't wish for waves hand all this, truly creative works and arts and discoveries are on the horizon. The human spirit perseveres.

NetOpWibbyon Ideas aren't getting harder to find (2022)

We’ve tricked sand into thinking, eradicated most diseases, and you’ll still see people claim with every fiber in their being, that something is impossible and someone on the other side of the world will instantaneously respond from their toilet.

If you’re tired of thinking, just say that. Don’t project your middling imagination onto others.

Sweet, thanks!

NetOpWibbyon Friendship ended with Deno, now Node is my best friend

I enjoy LLMs as much as the next guy but man, having a baseline of knowledge about coding goes a long way.

NetOpWibbyon Friendship ended with Deno, now Node is my best friend

> There is no reason to use the Deno runtime today.

LMAO okay bro.

With Deno I get TypeScript by default, security, a package manager that isn't riddled with nonsense and a dated UI, and I can compile my APIs to a single executable. No way am I going back to Node but then again, this ain't my blog post.

NetOpWibbyon Friendship ended with Deno, now Node is my best friend

LLMs don't reach for it because the frontier companies don't have it as the default. I've instructed Claude to NOT use React (use SvelteKit), NOT use Node (use Deno or Bun), among other things.

The industry defaults are trash but it is what it is.

NetOpWibbyon We want you to build the next Git platform on Cloudflare

$25,000 in Cloudflare credits for a revolutionary new Git platform by checks calendar a week and a half from now? I'm sure someone will go for this.

The funny things is, I'm actively working on a replacement for Github but it's not gonna be built on Cloudflare LMAO!

It's not gonna be ready by CLoudflare's deadline but I'm aiming to get the beta deployed by end of November. Plenty to do! It'll be available on eol.sh...

NetOpWibbyon Muse Gadgets

I think if someone can bring the Jonathan Computer and a mobile device that connects with that ecosystem, will be going towards a future we all want.

Modularity, connection, and true ownership.

NetOpWibbyon Muse Gadgets

I second this. Zuck gives me the ick, like that corpo villain in Ready Player One.

He wants to own the future for the sake of money, not because he wants to improve lives or entertain folks.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, you’re right.

NetOpWibbyon Jeeves. Reasoning improves Jev-like decision models

Damn, what a way to go.

NetOpWibbyon Jeff – Jev-compatible 0.8B decision models, trained at home, ~30 ms

Blows my mind that Jeeves never came back as an AI model. Even if it's poor quality, it'd still be better than Google.

NetOpWibbyon Should Developers Design?

   Design, the practice deemed worthless two decades ago via the tired meme “should designers code?” is now the only way to prove your humanity (and worth?) in the age of slop.

NetOpWibbyon Step 5 Preview: Advancing the Pareto Frontier

Using dates immediately makes you look dated and everyone is in this constant race to be first!!1!!1!

I agree with you though, ChronVer all the way.

NetOpWibbyon You can run Git on object storage if you re-make packfiles

Oh this is exactly what I need, fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Smasher's too bulky and his quips ("You look like a cut of fuckable meat") don't match his hardware.

NetOpWibbyon Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)

Thank you, never heard the term before.

NetOpWibbyon Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)

I need something like this. Would be nice if there was a randomizer.

NetOpWibbyon Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)

This looks pretty cool! I love TypeScript. Although for my server-side apps, I just use Deno and compile my executable that way.

I have pondered cloning Caddy in TypeScript just because...would Zena be capable of this?

NetOpWibbyon Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)

I made a database[1] a few months ago and now I'm beginning work on a Github replacement (for me). Here's what I'm thinking for the UI[2]. I'm not trying to have feature-parity out the gate, I just want something that doesn't give me the ick. I self-host public repos with cgit but that's too basic and there's no built-in support for private repos.

The existing Github alternatives...look like someone drawing Github from memory.

This is fascinating. No agents or larping humans signed up yet. I'd imagine that the frontier labs would find a site like this and explicitly ban access to it (in addition to their SKILLs pleading with their LLMs).

NetOpWibbyon Customizing my Compaq MX-11800 keyboard

The mobile design is compromised as hell, it looked worse before.

I could probably figure out a way to make mobile work with some time but I don't care enough for my blog. It's just Markdown docs and some styling.
