jaktet··on Claude Code's "Don't Ask Again" exposes passwords in 1,122 public GitHub files
I always thought Kiro did a better job with permission prompts and falls more in line with what I set up except for I manage permissions on the host.

Example

``` # cat -A /tmp/foo/bar/baz.md

# permission options cat -A /tmp/foo/bar/baz.md cat /tmp/foo/bar/baz.md cat /tmp/foo/bar/* cat /tmp/* cat * ```

I'm sure there's improvements to make but I always found it silly to over complicate the permissions if I'm trying to prevent common operations from being prevented

Codex /side allows you to toggle to a different pane and maintain an ephemeral or persistent side conversation at the context point which it was launched. It can't natively communicate back to the main thread though. It also allows you to fork the side chat into a new chat. I don't believe it can edit files in side chat mode so the only way to paste context back is fork and do that or just copy and paste. So similar to /btw but with other features.

Claude allows the teams feature and easily spawning co agents or subagents in tmux panes you can interact with (or send to the background). These can communicate with each other. Sometimes you can't interact with one of the tmux agents agents though if it was spawned as some specific type I can't remember.

How does that acceptance manifest in the workplace? Or have you found any accommodations that have been helpful?

Subagents will inherit the context window at the point in which they are spawned, but it sounds like you're more referring to orchestrating/conducting/managing multiple agents?

I really appreciate this sentiment. I've definitely had burnout thinking in the way of OP; this framing is more helpful than feeling inadequate
jaktet··on Show HN: I replaced vector databases with Git for AI memory (PoC)
That’s a pretty good analogy though, noise is just information that isn’t immediately useful for the current task

jaktet··on Show HN: Generate .env files from various secret providers via checked-in config
As for as a general reason to use it over SSM is that it’s free for like under 10k values but it’s not secure by default since it also allows non-encrypted values to be stored. AFAIK you can use basic encrypted values with it the same as SSM, but for more advanced uses there are differences.

Fun fact: SSM is also an acronym for parameter store, it used to be known as EC2 Simple Systems Manager: https://d0.awsstatic.com/whitepapers/whitepaper-ec2-ssm.pdf

jaktet··on Show HN: Generate .env files from various secret providers via checked-in config
Have thought about creating this exact type of thing. I will be checking this out next week, and seeing what else might be out there though. One service I see that’s missing is parameter store, but if I actually needed it I’m guessing it would be pretty easy to add unless there’s a reason for not also including it.
jaktet··on From Pegasus to Predator – The evolution of commercial spyware on iOS [video]
I don’t know about timemachine but I have some anecdotal experience with Dropbox and ransomware. Essentially one person’s computer was infected which encrypted all the files for everyone in Dropbox. Because Dropbox had versioning on the files I was able to restore all the files back to the point before they were encrypted after removing and wiping the infected machines.

So if timemachine has versioning then maybe then you probably have some options, I’m not sure I’d call this being “safe” from ransomware.

jaktet··on Portspoof: Emulate a valid service on all 65535 TCP ports
What I’m saying though is that if I were running a script like this, unless I’m targeting a specific ip, I would just be scanning known ports for known vulnerabilities. I wouldn’t be scanning every single port.
jaktet··on Portspoof: Emulate a valid service on all 65535 TCP ports
Unless they are specifically targeting that system my assumption would be that they are just looking for open ports for known services, then if found checking if exploits work or not, and if not move on. I could very well be wrong but from a practical standpoint I can’t imagine this service mattering to someone that is running a program to scan for open ports with vulnerabilities.
jaktet··on Portspoof: Emulate a valid service on all 65535 TCP ports
I would imagine the amount of time someone spends “investigating” a port like 3306 is the amount of time it takes for the existing automated software to run a check to see if the mysql server is vulnerable. So unless the service on 3306 is able to spoof a vulnerable mysql server, they don’t care if it’s real or not. They just care if their tool reports a vulnerable service.
jaktet··on Xiaomi Home Integration for Home Assistant
I can’t speak for OP but usually the issue with #3 for me is that the other criteria it needs to meet is that it works with whatever other integration I want. I remember when I looked the TP-Links were a good option but you just needed internet to set it up. Afterwards it just went on a vlan without internet. The camera needs to support Scrypted/Frigate for my use case but depending on needs for PTZ, Wi-Fi, resolution, night vision, etc, I may or may not be able to find one at a reasonable price that doesn’t require internet access for setup. TP Link makes good cameras at a good price but they require internet access to setup, so any camera that falls into #3 will get compared to a TP Link in #2

jaktet··on Show HN: AirPrint Bridge: Enable AirPrint for Non-AirPrint Printers on macOS
I tried this and had too many issues with other devices. I finally just bought a Brother laser printer with built in AirPrint that worked fine for many years but lately it seems to disconnect once in awhile. Current fix for that has been a smart switch that I programmed to just power cycle the printer twice a day.

Eventually I’ll just upgrade to a newer one with color and hopefully better AirPort support, but I’m glad cups and AirPrint works alright since I haven’t tried it in a few years. The issues your wife is experiencing though are likely the same ones that led me to just get a printer that supports it and from what I read at the time Brother has the best AirPrint support (purely anecdotal)

jaktet··on Show HN: A minimalist (brutalist?) website for sharing all your links
Awesome

Some additional feedback:

Still would be nice to just put in website.com and have it assume I mean https://website.com

- If a title is required maybe offer the option to just set the title as an emoji or something. This is definitely just my personal feedback I could be an outlier here.

- Once I submitted the email went to spam. I assume there’s not much you can do here other than become more established.

- After clicking the confirm link I’m taken to a page that says my changes have been confirmed and saved. I’d expect messaging along the lines of your page has been created along with a link to my page. Screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/leus6ntppsf9yihe6i1sb/Lynx.Bo...

- At this point the only way I found to get to my page is just to type in what I assumed was the url format into the browser: lynx.boo/username

Wrote the feedback as I went through it. Once I see the page itself I understand why a title is required and an emoji might not make sense. Love the super clean layout and simplicity though, I will keep this tool in mind.

jaktet··on Show HN: A minimalist (brutalist?) website for sharing all your links
Tried it out real quick.

The validation on the form page doesn’t require a valid url but when you hit submit the validation fails if the url is incorrect. When you click back to go correct it you can’t fix it because the submit button is still spinning.

Also requiring a title for a url doesn’t seem necessary, just use the domain as the title or the url itself if it’s empty.

Sorry don’t have any other feedback I stopped there.

jaktet··on Gitea: Self-hosted Git service with CI/CD and team collaboration
I’ve only used this so far to quickly create a local git repo for backing something up and it seems very promising. The interface felt nearly identical to GitHub as far as creating a repo, ssh key, and pushing an existing repo to it.
jaktet··on ExpressJS 5.0 Released
These are interesting release notes… does anyone know what actually released with version 5?
jaktet··on Nginx has moved to GitHub
My experience is similar to yours, though I seem to have to login every other week or so it feels like (maybe it’s once a month I don’t know).

This feeling could also be exasperated though since while I only use a personal GitHub account, I access it frequently from the browser and app on numerous devices.

I can definitively say though that I need to login more than twice a year on any one device.

jaktet··on Show HN: Hestus – AI Copilot for CAD
i love onshape and the capabilities featurescript offers. I wish they had a hobbyist pricing that only provided minor QOL offerings like the ability to make some things private. As long as it remains free for public use though I am very happy using it.

I was wondering if AI might help with writing FeatureScript. I’ve only scratched the surface but have leaned heavily on what other people have written for documentation.

jaktet··on First randomized trial of Ozempic for alcoholism shows big drops in drinking
I’ve been on Zepbound since January and my craving/desire for any alcohol basically is gone. I have gone periods without drinking before while trying to lose weight but I always felt like I was missing out because I was only not drinking to help lose weight, I would avoid some social gatherings just because it wasn’t fun to be there and not “socialize”. Now I just don’t want to and I don’t care about saying no thanks or even think about it. And if I do have a drink it’s usually literally just a drink and even then I might not even finish it.

I’m down 60+ lbs so far.

jaktet··on Show HN: A user-friendly UI for viewing and editing Markdown files
Basic process in iOS was:

* create folder * create page in folder * create new page while this previous page was open * Observe that new page is not created in current folder. Go find page in all pages and open * Go to page info and try to change location * App crash

Happens every time for me

jaktet··on Show HN: A user-friendly UI for viewing and editing Markdown files
I just tried out the iOS app

Every time I try to move a page to a new folder the app crashes, is this a know issue or do you want more info?
