djfobbz··on A Little Snitch for Windows
Simplewall is quite terrible, IMO. They still haven't fixed the painfully slow fuzzy search functionality for firewall rules.

Why is everything in meters? What about accessibility to users in US?
djfobbz··on WallHop – 12ft.io is gone, so I built a replacement
How can you prove that AI didn't write it or that it isn't pre-scripted, government-backed propaganda? I don't know about you, but I wouldn't pay a dime for that.
djfobbz··on Bill to Ban Private Equity from Owning Medical Practices
They'll still manage to figure out some loophole to do it anyway. PE really is cancer to most industries.
djfobbz··on Show HN: Scrolling Text Generator – marquee, ticker and credits in the browser
The very slow speed on iOS is equivalent of normal speed to me.
djfobbz··on Show HN: Snapdrop: Instantly share files between devices. No setup, no signup
Terrible service. I used to use it back in the days until it starting going down all of the time. Switched to localsend and never looked back.
djfobbz··on Show HN: Filament – Fast data movement engine in Go
Does Filament have any specific advantages over https://vector.dev?

djfobbz··on GLM-5.3-Flash
How much did you drop on these 4 sparks?
djfobbz··on Show HN: Tanchi – Open-source AI prospecting agent that only automates email
The Kanban chart is not showing the accurate status of pipeline prospects. I just ran the first workflow, which captured 15 leads, and all of the messages have been drafted. However, two people are showing as having been contacted, even though ZERO messages were ever validated or sent. Something is off with the Kanban status.

djfobbz··on Self-contained highly-portable Python distributions
Isn’t this what Sublime Text uses?

FastTracker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FastTracker_2
djfobbz··on Show HN: AI-powered sports analytics and social betting platform
I just tried it. Aside from the fancy AI-generated shadcn-style UI, the system seems completely useless.
djfobbz··on Show HN: Ant – A JavaScript runtime and ecosystem
I can't get Bun to work under WSL1, which is super annoying. Does Ant support WSL1?
djfobbz··on Cloudflare Drop
Yet I can't drag and drop a plain old HTML file without putting it in a folder or a ZIP file first.
djfobbz··on Better Auth is joining Vercel
Correct! As a Ruby dev, I started using rodauth and never looked back! https://rodauth.jeremyevans.net/
djfobbz··on Well it's been 3 years of unemployment and $250k in debt

djfobbz··on Designing DB partitions you don't have to babysit
Or you could just warehouse the daily data into something like ClickHouse and start fresh every day. It's built for this kind of workload and has demonstrated some absolutely insane analytical performance at massive scale. We're currently running it on an $170/month VPS, querying over 500+ billion rows daily without any issues. At that point, partitioning an ever-growing OLTP table starts looking like the harder problem.
djfobbz··on Well it's been 3 years of unemployment and $250k in debt
I thought you were running ProFullStack.com. Looking at your project showcase, it seems like business is doing well. I'm curious - what am I missing?
djfobbz··on Ask HN: What did you fail at and what did you learn from it?
I started a sheet metal and sign manufacturing company because I loved building things. I was obsessed with engineering, solving complex fabrication problems, and making every product as close to perfect as possible. I stayed deeply involved in the shop (from R&D to day-to-day production) and we were fortunate to have more than enough work to keep us busy. At the time, it felt like exactly what I wanted.

Five years later, I realized I'd made a mistake. I had built a business that depended on me instead of a business that could grow without me. The work I once loved had turned into routine, and I had spent so much time perfecting the craft that I neglected to build the company itself. That experience taught me that entrepreneurship isn't just about creating a great product - it's about creating systems, empowering people, and working on the business, not just in it.

djfobbz··on Show HN: Altersend – File sharing without cloud
476.7MB Windows binary...are we really doing this?
djfobbz··on Show HN: Demon – open-source real-time music diffusion engine, 25Hz local GPU
Mind blown! This is absolutely sick.
djfobbz··on Show HN: Open-source Workspace (mail,docs,spreadsheet,drive) web/iOS
I like this. However, I just gave your Sheets a simple stress test by selecting a bunch of cells, then using the fill handle to populate other cells, and afterward doing an undo (Ctrl+Z). It completely crapped out and did not do what I expected...which was to return to its original state prior to using the fill handle, with the selection still selected.
djfobbz··on Show HN: Audiomass – a free, open-source multitrack audio editor for the web
This is a very impressive undertaking. Great job!!!
djfobbz··on Show HN: I made a printable graph papaer templates website
I tried printing Gray, Dark, and Black on an HP LaserJet, but the colors were very faint in all cases. It was hard to see the grid.
djfobbz··on Show HN: Every CEO and CFO change at US public companies, live from SEC
Sure, it's not new. Neither are memory leaks and race conditions...but we still expect competent engineers to avoid them. It's like opening a store but the doors jam the moment customers walk in. A crowd isn't the problem, your setup is.

The site fails to load...it just gets stuck in a fetching state. Another downside of vibe programming.
