That was my first reaction.
jensenbox··on Tesla Cybertruck Becomes Extensively Corroded After Exposed to Magnet
It could have been electrolytic too - there is no mention of what was pressed up against the body - it could have been something with zinc or other active metal.
jensenbox··on Ask HN: What should I do with meet.hn?
It might be something to target businesses that are interested in advertising themselves or perhaps as a means to circulate that they are hiring.

Cheap compared to marketing costs really.

jensenbox··on Just: Just a Command Runner
The one thing that converted us from Taskfile to Justfile is how it handle parameters injected at instantiation.

https://just.systems/man/en/recipe-parameters.html just works better for us than https://taskfile.dev/usage/#forwarding-cli-arguments-to-comm...

We use Docker Compose for our dev environment and were trying to do something like (notice the extra dash dash for separating the arguments out):

    task poetry -- add requests django
It was not working as we expected for some of the users due to the argument dash dash stuff - they were forgetting due to muscle memory but the following does:

    just poetry add requests django
under the hood it was just calling (the equivalent):

    docker compose run --rm --build poetry poetry "$@"
Just arguments are more ergonomic.

This is how just does it:

    poetry +command:

        docker compose run --rm --build poetry poetry {{command}}
jensenbox··on Just: Just a Command Runner
I have been using this for months now - way easier than Taskfile.

The parameter injection and passing to commands was the thing that converted me.

Is it just me or the way this is described creates visions of American Psycho.
jensenbox··on Building a better and scalable system for data migrations
I have been eyeing up https://atlasgo.io/ - I am going to give it a whirl soon.
jensenbox··on Show HN: Greenmask 0.2 – Database anonymization tool
Having jumped from Replibyte to Greenmask already I can say it is a significantly better architecture - hands down.
jensenbox··on Meissonic, High-Resolution Text-to-Image Synthesis on consumer graphics cards
The images in the PDF are amazing.
jensenbox··on Why laptop support, why now: FreeBSD's strategic move toward broader adoption
I could be alone in this, but I think getting containers (OCI, Docker) running on FreeBSD seems like a better direction - I totally get that Docker is a Linux kernel thing but the idea of a file system with layers, registries etc could be a thing right?

I love FreeBSD but cannot really use it in a production environment until I can deploy containers on it as that is pretty much the defacto for our workflow.

Maybe it is impossible.

jensenbox··on Officer who ignored NYPD's 'courtesy cards' receives $175K settlement
What would happen if everyone had a card? Would it lose its value? Think of it like money. If you just print more does it have less value?

This feels like some kind of weird parity but or checksum-ish thing.

Is https://www.trackyourhappiness.org/ down for anyone else or is it just me?
jensenbox··on Show HN: I am building an open-source incident management platform
What was your thinking for choosing a SPA style app vs something simpler like HTMX? Just curious.
jensenbox··on Y292B Bug
Maybe the universe is 64bit? It just starts all over again... and again... and again...
jensenbox··on Farm: Fast vite compatible build tool written in Rust
I would love to use it as a test but there is too much of a commitment in that it is not a drop in replacement for vite nor is there anything in the way of a doc or help for "migrate from vite to farm".

I stopped at "create" - I rather "install and convert" in a branch to try stuff out.

jensenbox··on How to untangle phone numbers
The E.164 Standard is also a great place to start.

E.123 is for printing and general purpose use (as in use in URLS: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2806#section-2.2).

While the E.164 is (primarily) for storage and processing.

You may be experiencing a BufferBloat problem.

Try running this tool before, during and after you have problems: https://devina.io/speed-test

jensenbox··on API Shouldn't Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
After all this chatter, I am considering blocking all outgoing traffic to port 80 in my local firewall

This would prevent my fat fingers from ever even making the mistake.

BLOCK outgoing port 80

How bad would that be? Would I be shooting myself in the foot somehow?

Perhaps I would do it on the egress rule for where my requesting service is running like in ECS.

The coolest part about this is that I was unaware that you could force full screen and lock the orientation from a web page. TIL
jensenbox··on Thread: Tech we can’t use or teach?
I have not read the fine print of all of this so my idea here may be dead in the water but...

What if we (the community) were to establish an entity that would pay the licensing for whatever required level and pitch in a small amount each towards the fees and we could all then be legal?

Essentially the new entity would be licensed and we all would be licensed unter the entity. Fractionating the larger dollar figure across us all.
