dizhn··on KetchUp – Open-source SketchUp alternative built with Rust and WebGPU
The MIT license could use a Rust rewrite.

Skill public?
dizhn··on KetchUp – Open-source SketchUp alternative built with Rust and WebGPU
I haven't looked at the software itself yet. I am VERY interested in it.

It's like Bootstrap, then React all over again in terms of all web sites looking the same and the "Claude look" is much more suitable for a literary site than a software product.

dizhn··on Outlook.com is rejecting email from domains without DMARC
Now watch the goal post moving at light speed. This site is by business for business. They can't stand self hosting. Saas or bust. No matter how much time you spend demonstrating the opposite the next time someone mentions email they'll get a backlash. It's mind boggling how it plays out the same every single time. But give them a saas that returns the next integer for $19.99/month and that "creator" will be praised for their hard work. :)
dizhn··on HackerTube: YouTube built from videos recommended by HN
Seems to work on mobile. I just added before:2015 to a query and got a bunch of ols stuff.
dizhn··on GitHub Down Again?
One example Projects (boards). I would not necessarily call it missing for my own use case but it might as well not exist in its current state.

Label management is a mess too with almost no ease of use features. Lots of clicking when prior art already exists elsewhere.

Federation is another thing that's supposed to happen but isn't.

Action runners I like actually but their web UI is really confusing.

API is missing a lot of endpoints too. (Pretty straight forward for AI agents to work on as "good first issue")

No machine users or management of the same via Administrator. If you want to have a bot (not necessarily AI) you need to create a user with a hard to guess password and manage it by actually logging in as that user.

Another user will probably have their own set of things that matter to them.

As I've already said above, I do use it and love it but sort of half hoped Gitea would have proceeded farther since Forgejo forked away. It hasn't.

OneDev looks much more capable on surface to me today but I have not used it extensively yet and it has some features not included in the self hosted version. Not as much as open core projects but some.

dizhn··on Agent memory needs its OpenTelemetry moment
This is true but is it proven with reasonable confidence that indexing and vectorizing the code provides better results. I would assume it would if another agent is responsible for it and your coding agent only talks to that agent. Even there I am not 100% sure. Probably not worth the effort though.
dizhn··on Agent memory needs its OpenTelemetry moment
Fully agree. Any solution people think they have today is working on assumptions that are probably not correct. And things are still moving very fast.
dizhn··on GitHub's new Git storage architecture
Thanks for the downvotes. Github is down today by the way.
dizhn··on GitHub Down Again?
I love and use Forgejo which they are both running and now developing within their ecosystem but development is so slow and such basic things are missing that one cannot help but think perhaps they should get some LLM assistance. At this rate they are very likely to end up a historical footnote.
dizhn··on Libghostty 1.0
I hope we won't be complaining about no more competition in the terminal core space like we do with browsers now :)
dizhn··on The typo generation is damaging literature
Man the irony of this piece. I think I'll have Gemini translate it into modern English because I was really interested in the subject. (ouvre?)
dizhn··on Apple’s grey list: Words and phrases your iPhone won’t help you spell
Parent is kind of right too. This should be configurable or people will complain the other way. Even something simple as "I am swiping heck but it's typing hell".
dizhn··on Apple’s grey list: Words and phrases your iPhone won’t help you spell
My Samsung phone can search images by keyword and it actually works super well. It would be infinitely more useful to me if I could search by a certain class of "pics" and it helped with that. Especially when going through nation boundaries.
dizhn··on The $8 Linux Computer (2022)
Linux has historically also done this. Unused RAM is wasted RAM. So in goes the cache.
dizhn··on GitHub's new Git storage architecture
"we’ve been building it underneath GitHub while it keeps running."

Holding on for dear life and failing is more like it.

dizhn··on Ask HN: What in the world is taking Ubuntu so long?
I am someone who believes ALL Linux distros are basically the same (with outliers like Nix) but on the other hand Ubuntu does use some things like it's own network manager that is not the same as Debian as far as I know. And it has a working remote upgrade functionality which I used just yesterday. On Debian the process is manual and is not recommender to actually do.
dizhn··on Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production
Worth clicking. Ton of people who actually want the cybertruck to continue. I can't believe there are still people who still didn't realize what colossal idiot Musk is.
dizhn··on Microsoft fixes a Windows 11 annoyance as PC revenue declines
Kind of. What changes is whether this year you're holding it wrong or you shouldn't be taking your device to a non humidity and dust controlled environment. That's what the users teach each other and the rest of us. :)

(I even heard "it's good for a laptop to be heavy" in the early 2000s)

dizhn··on Microsoft fixes a Windows 11 annoyance as PC revenue declines
Apple users train each other.
dizhn··on Moving our warehouse off DuckDB
Sure can. But some countries are more different like China, Russia, North Korea. A lot of people would include USA in that list of course. :)
dizhn··on Never Complain, Never Explain
That's the one strategy suggested to people when the cancel mob comes for you. If you give them any attention at all they turn their efforts up to 11. If you just ignore them completely they find a new target. (That is of course if they don't go one level above you and have you cancelled that way.)
dizhn··on Moving our warehouse off DuckDB
You can take the guy out of Russia.. :)

I kid but that's probably what people have a problem with.

dizhn··on WTF Ubuntu?
You get what you pay for? Honestly this is so very disrespectful of the work thousands of people have and continue to put into Free Software including all Linux distros (Ubuntu too) as well as other operating systems and software. Really really disrespectful.
dizhn··on WTF Ubuntu?
Ubuntu's remote OS upgrade feature exists and works pretty well in practice. I am not saying this is enough to stay but it does exist.
dizhn··on Show HN: A working Nintendo in ~1GB of Qwen weights
Controllers are regional. It's Joystick here :)

I thought I'd researched this. I will check it again. Thanks.
dizhn··on HackerTube: YouTube built from videos recommended by HN
I wish youtube had an api with an upload date filter for all videos. One could then build a pre-ai youtube.
dizhn··on Molly (Signal fork) has not been updated since 3 months and is vulnerable
My one bank app makes me enable Play Store security. Another one makes me disable developer mode to use NFC payments.

It's NES
