forsalebypwner··on The internet won't necessarily go dark. It could simply stop working
This felt AI-written to me, ironically. Especially the last few paragraphs.
forsalebypwner··on Atuin Threads: All your agent sessions on every machine
I don't think this, by default, has any effect on anybody's token usage, it's just a way to save these sessions if you need to reference them again in the future. Unless of course you choose to provide a previous session to a new agent, but that should be expected.

Atuin offers a self-hosted backend server for syncing, so you don't need to trust anybody
forsalebypwner··on Show HN: A 15 MB self-hosted Netflix and Spotify for your media server
for a while I ran an SMS bot that did this without AI and it worked great. Just tell people to put the title and year of the movie they're requesting, people don't need semantic search.
forsalebypwner··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (November 2026)
Am I mistaken or are you paying roughly the same amount for your server and the 2x /24s of IPv4?
forsalebypwner··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (November 2026)
I really like the look of the score-over-time charts, nice work.

What does the "No garbage time" button do underneath that chart?

Sick, I also use Snagit a ton and am unhappy with the price. Gonna check this out

Plot-twist: your wife is actually a honey pot, and was trying to throw you off the scent of another honey pot ;)

Thanks! I tried nxnative just now, performance is great. Appreciate the info.

Is Switch 2 emulation actually happening? I haven't been following that
forsalebypwner··on Oregon Police Are Charging a Local News Outlet $2.5M for Records About One Cop
Yup, the Milwaukee PD took over 6 months for a fairly basic records request, and that was even with me following up monthly to ask them for an update. In the end, the only cost to me was <$5 for the 2GB flash drive they put the files on.

Unfortunately Wisconsin State Law only gives vague guidelines on this ("must respond reasonably quickly" or something along those lines)

forsalebypwner··on Google has officially turned these Nest thermostats back into dumb thermostats
You just need a microUSB cable IIRC
forsalebypwner··on Xbox wants you to pay 24 to 40 cents per hour to stream games you bought
Not my experience - this place is long closed now, but a shop near me used to offer access to steam accounts that were managed through Steam's PC Café Program.

forsalebypwner··on What Is Gridifcation
Literally the first sentence threw up red flags for me:

> Something happened to recorded music over the last twenty-five years that most people can hear, and feel, but almost nobody has the language for.

That is 100% Claude

forsalebypwner··on DeepSeek search and fetch – $0.75 per 1000 successful requests
what do you mean by "Deepseeks browser platform"? Google isn't turning up much, and searching DeepSeek's docs for "browser" returns no results.
forsalebypwner··on An Apology
No, only if an airtag that's not theirs follows them for an amount of time
forsalebypwner··on AI models may be capable of self-replicating without access to a datacenter
I wonder why they namedrop GCP in particular
forsalebypwner··on Incident with Actions, Pull Requests and Issues
Right, the added value of being able to access, build, and publish releases for Windows, macOS, and Linux on BOTH x64 and ARM cannot be overstated
forsalebypwner··on GLM-Legal
I couldn't agree more but feel that so many people on here consider themselves VIP that this won't be well-regarded
forsalebypwner··on WallHop – 12ft.io is gone, so I built a replacement
Can you send me a link once it's up? Or otherwise link to your GitHub profile so people can follow you.
forsalebypwner··on Talorys – A self-hosted personal AI agent on Cloudflare's free tier
yeah their billing system truly sucks. One month I was charged exorbitantly for Workers Container usage. There was absolutely zero way to monitor or track your usage until the invoice arrived.
forsalebypwner··on Ask HN: What do you run on a $5 VPS that's worth keeping online 24/7?
What's your strategy for juggling all of these on only 16GB? Docker?
forsalebypwner··on Ask HN: What do you run on a $5 VPS that's worth keeping online 24/7?
>I use a $5 VPS + $3 for 0.5gb of block storage to host shitty video game clips I want to share with my friend

What's the benefit of this over an unlisted YouTube video? I suppose there are many valid philosophical reasons to not want to use it.

forsalebypwner··on Ask HN: What do you run on a $5 VPS that's worth keeping online 24/7?
Yeah i just tried self-hosting GitLab again and was surprised that I was getting OOM errors when I provisioned it with an 6GB memory limit. Turns out 8GB is like, the bare minimum. Crazy
forsalebypwner··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
> Deepseek 4 Pro

There's your problem, 4.1 Flash is significantly better and cheaper, to the point where the official DeepSeek API is going to (or already has, I forget) redirect requests for Pro to 4.1 Flash, and adjust billing accordingly too.

4 Pro is still offered by providers I'm sure, since it's open weight, so I can understand making that mistake.

forsalebypwner··on Its not just the f*cking sandbox
man that was so many words while saying so little. tl;dr "my job is hard and people are mean on the internet "
forsalebypwner··on Finder is so frustrating and has been since day one
plus a subscription!
forsalebypwner··on The Amazon Tax
They don't "always believe this", this will lead to your account being banned eventually, or at least barred from returning products.
forsalebypwner··on Ordinary WiFi can now identify you with near-perfect accuracy
Yes actually, but I don't think it's technically allowed/legal in the US in the eyes of the FCC, not sure about other countries. It utilizes 77GHz FMCW, I got one for free but they retail for about $100. The part number is R77ABH1

Edit: sorry, you said "using this technology" and I missed that - this doesn't uses the same tech
