getcrunk··on Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance
Interesting I didn’t know you can block/cancel transactions. Does this have to happen before the new block is minted. or it can happen after, that’s what I’m inclined to think just based off of the word block
getcrunk··on Code-execution flaw in UEFI firmware threatens most servers on planet Earth
Yea I really like this idea.

We need a clean start. A lot of layers can and should be rebuilt, and even if you do it without reducing functionality, I feel like in a lot of cases like we’ll be able to cut down the code significantly.

When I explain software bloat to non technical people, I say imagine you built a 10 story building, but every few years it was a story at a time with the renovations along the way.

Like there’s gonna be a lot of inefficiencies. Yea I know we refactor. But doing a clean slate rebuild. Knowing exactly what you need based on real world experience, it should work to really streamline stuff.

getcrunk··on Today, we hacked what we'd set out to hack: the iPhone
First of all this is crazy that even on hn we were a few days behind this.

Second fuck Apple. Fuck all tech companies. And seriously fuck late stage capitalism. Foss or nothing. There should be a rule if you pay for it it has to be foss. This way people can still make proprietary but they just can’t charge for it.

We have zero privacy, zero security, all our politicians and all the corporations are against us.

Media parsing is an endless exploit vector. Like fuck. At some point you have to be like they (not just Apple) keep it broken

An yea I know foss gets these issues too. But if the only option was foss, then at least the whole world’s focus would be on it

getcrunk··on Show HN: Opus 5.5 made a fully featured Figma clone in 3 hours / 8 prompts
Surprised this made it to the front page. No git Repo
getcrunk··on What ArtCraft's Vibe-Coded Apps Say About Adobe
Examples? Advice?
getcrunk··on What ArtCraft's Vibe-Coded Apps Say About Adobe
Is it just me or is it really hard to get a complete/working product out of an llm?

I find that unless I have very detailed specs with rigorous completion verification/criteria (manually atm) or tests. It’s like 60/40 at best.

And adding all the tricks only gets me to like 75-80.

Tbh I am using cheaper Chinese models (ds4.1f) and only pay for the $20 plans from the us labs

getcrunk··on CrowdSec Source Code Leak
Wait … that’s lame. If it’s in Debian repos I expect it to work with full functionality (up to the version number)

I can understand the myriad reasons for why a company would be inconvenienced by that.

But on the other hand, it seems like a reason for me to never use the vendor

getcrunk··on Building a Linux GPU Driver for the M4 Mac Mini in One Month
All the controversy aside, someone can now white box reimplement this if they are concerned
getcrunk··on Jellyfin 12.0
Did they fix that thing where like you can’t have mixed movies and tv in the same folder without it going nuts
getcrunk··on Going Dark, and the era of law enforcement hacking
I think the authors treatment of backdoors and exceptional access is a narrow focus.

We will certainly see “front door” access as various places have or are attempting to enact client side scanning, id verified online access, software root of trust remote attestation, and the general attack on e2e.

Taken together your identity tied to unmodifiable software, necessary to access the web or modern economy with client side scanning and no e2e … is a front door.

All this has nothing to do with ai, bugs, hackers or security vulnerabilities, let alone backdoors

getcrunk··on Lost my phone at the office. Claude suggested tracking Bluetooth signal strength
Man … I never think about or am concerned about the the terminator apocalypse. But what a parallel
getcrunk··on Show HN: Maple-Preview – Ternary 20B MoE running at 120 tok/s on a iPhone
Anyone compare this to ternary bonsai vs the 1 bit
getcrunk··on Opinionated and Easy Pi.dev Configuration
Is there a popular well support add on that like lets me hitl/interact with my phone while not at my desk?
getcrunk··on Remote Attestation
Same way drm works, it’s going to be in layer of hw/sw that you don’t have control over. We don’t have commonly have control on the cpu, chipset, uefi. And on the top side things like widevine on the application layer
getcrunk··on Why developers are ditching GitHub for Codeberg and self-hosting alternatives
Today GitHub blocked me until I turned Apple private relay off. I wasn’t logged in
getcrunk··on DOJ Closing Abbott Labs Case Spurs Wider Corporate Crime Retreat
Yea things like this make more sense when you model the Democratic Party mostly as controlled opposition for the actual uniparty outside of a handful of instances
getcrunk··on Reparaible and open source paper printer
I mean it’s about time a company makes a repairable and pro consumer printer. My god
getcrunk··on Micro-Agent: Beat Frontier Models with Collaboration Inside Model API
Every one has been saying it’s all about the harness. This is an obvious result of that.

I think an optimal solution would be to have more seamless integration between harness and router roles. As each are only half the picture

getcrunk··on Framework's 10G Ethernet module exposes USB-C's complexity
A lot of people use their laptop as a desktop replacement and kinda leave it in one spot or only move it between two spots (home desk/office desk) rather than as an actually portable take anywhere use anywhere situation
getcrunk··on Steam Machine launches today
I assume they are referring to the general tide of improvements valve has brought to gaming working generically on linux, and that they are using omarchy to experience it
getcrunk··on Apple is about to make Hide My Email useless
Okay but banning private relay emails would also mean your site is blocking Apple sign in?
getcrunk··on Hermes Agent – Open-source AI agent with persistent memory
Today
getcrunk··on Bun support is now limited and deprecated
It’s not like they are discriminating on someone’s race or religion. If they don’t want a major vibe coded surface, do they even have to defend that? It’s part their “artistic” license as developers.

Or did we forget software inherently is opinionated

getcrunk··on Recreate famous water profiles using supermarket bottled water
Oh great. After never fully grasping tasting notes of food, coffee, wines … now water.

Jokes aside this is seriously impressive and makes me want to try and see if I can register them as unique enough. I certainly can taste different water bottle brands difference, but going from that to saying what’s good for x recipe is pretty next level

getcrunk··on Mystery Microsoft bug leaker keeps the zero-days coming
Anyone remember the Samsung ssd issue with bitlocker from maybe like a decade or so ago where it was an empty encryption key or something
getcrunk··on Postmortem: TanStack NPM supply-chain compromise
I think we are at the point where everyone really needs to run each project in its own vm.

Given the recent lpe vulns docker 100% won’t cut it.

And containers were never meant primarily as a security boundary anyways

getcrunk··on Over 8M Thermos jars and bottles recalled after 3 people lost vision
Well for one, so it doesn’t get recalled after getting a reputation for making people blind
getcrunk··on We've raised $17M to build what comes after Git
Idk how git works under the hood but those both seem like they could both be easily accomplished with git itself .

but if not just your own work flow, have a dir dedicated to storing prompt history and then each file is titled with the commit id.

As for the flag just agree to some convention and toss it in the commit message

getcrunk··on BunnyCDN has been silently losing our production files for 15 months
I’ve used bunny for a few years … happily. I wonder if this is a bug due to some meta data of the files like the names or something. Very weird. Good thing you had metrics to catch it.

I upload all object storage stuff to bunny for live but also to backblace for backup.

I’ve always wanted to implement fail over client side for any asset over to bacblaze but seems like a lot of overhead

getcrunk··on Ask HN: Any interesting niche hobbies?
You’re a great brother! Sorry to hear your unappreciated.

I have a friend, philosophy masters, smart, autistic and he is not entering the work force. Any tips?
