Just tried devstral 2 (123B from Mistral) it scored 76% ... Disappointing
js4ever··on Ask HN: How do you handle release notes for multiple audiences?
No one read them so a single version is more than enough

Are you noticing any contraction (or increase) of immigration?

js4ever··on Claude Opus 4.5
Interesting. I totally stopped using opus on my max subscription because it was eating 40% of my week quota in less than 2h
js4ever··on Monotype font licencing shake-down
Paying for fonts is something I will never understand, I have a perfect vision but I'm nearly blind to fonts it makes nearly no difference to me (except for windings)

Too little, too late. Desktop apps are mostly dead.
js4ever··on Migrating from AWS to Hetzner
Yes we offer clusters with auto failover and replicas can be in multiple regions and even in multiple providers.

We support postgres but also MySQL, redis, opensearch, Clickhouse and many more.

About backups we offer differential snapshots and regular dumps that you can send to your own S3 bucket

js4ever··on Migrating from AWS to Hetzner
We've helped quite a few teams move from AWS to Hetzner (and Netcup) lately, and I think the biggest surprise for people isn't the cost or the raw performance, it’s how simple things become when you remove 15 layers of managed abstractions.

You stop worrying about S3 vs EFS vs FSx, or Lambda cold starts, or EBS burst credits. You just deploy a Docker stacks on a fast NVMe box and it flies. The trade-off is you need a bit more DevOps discipline: monitoring, backups, patching, etc. But that's the kind of stuff that's easy to automate and doesn't really change week to week.

At Elestio we leaned into that simplicity, we provide fully managed open-source stacks for nearly 400 software and also cover CI/CD (from Git push to production) on any provider, including Hetzner.

More info here if you're curious: https://elest.io

(Disclosure: I work at Elestio, where we run managed open-source services on any cloud provider including your own infra.)

Webfuse is the product secretly advertised in that iframe tester. It seems to be a solution to proxy and manipulate iframes
js4ever··on How AWS S3 serves 1 petabyte per second on top of slow HDDs
"It is the best example of how many transactions per second a pretty standard Java web service stack can handle that I’ve seen in my career."

can you give some numbers? or at least ballpark?

js4ever··on Show HN: Blocks – Dream work apps and AI agents in minutes
Congratulations for the launch, web design is really nice! I really liked the 3d models
js4ever··on F-Stack – A network development kit with high performance based on DPDK
What DB engine is it? What hardware?
js4ever··on F-Stack – A network development kit with high performance based on DPDK
I don't think so, but my guess is raw performance rarely matters in the real world.

I once explored this, hitting around 125K RPS per core on Node.js. Then I realized it was pointless, the moment you add any real work (database calls, file I/O, etc.), throughput drops below 10K RPS.

js4ever··on I hacked Monster Energy
That argument misses the point. Yes, the company has the primary responsibility to fix their vulnerabilities, but that doesn’t justify recklessly publishing exploits. Once an exploit is public, it’s not just 'the company' that suffers, it’s every customer, employee, and partner who relies on that system.

Saying 'fuck responsible disclosure' is basically saying 'let’s hurt innocent users until the company caves.' That’s not activism, that's collateral damage.

If someone genuinely cares about accountability, there are legal and ethical ways to pressure companies. Dumping 0-days into the wild only helps criminals, not users.

js4ever··on I hacked Monster Energy
It is highly irresponsible to disclose security vulnerabilities publicly, and in some jurisdictions it may even be illegal.

While I understand that the author attempted to contact Monster without receiving a response, publishing details of the vulnerabilities and how to exploit them only puts users at greater risk. This approach is reckless and harmful.

js4ever··on Show HN: Edka – Kubernetes clusters on your own Hetzner account
About Hetzner it's nothing new, since July, 1-2 of 10 deployments will stay stuck in creating state for hours or forever. It's really annoying, especially when you deploy a multi node cluster.

I did exactly that all this summer at the beach with Claude code. Future is already here!
js4ever··on Meta says it won't sign Europe AI agreement
That's the issue with people's from a certain side of politics, they don't vote for something they always side / vote against something or someone ... Blindly. It's like pure hate going over reason. But it's ok they are the 'good' ones so they are always right and don't really need to think
js4ever··on Broadcom to discontinue free Bitnami Helm charts
Great more enshitification! Broadcom is destroying everything they touch
js4ever··on Bypassing Google's big anti-adblock update
No, Safari is the new IE, nothing works on it, it's full of bugs and Apple is actively preventing web standards to move on. Do you remember how much Apple prevented web apps to be a thing by blocking web push, and breaking most things if run in PWA mode?

Apple are by far the worst offender and I can't wait for Safari to die

js4ever··on Show HN: Typeform was too expensive so I built my own forms
"This deployment is temporarily paused" it seems you spent all your vercel quota.

You would "scale" better with a $5 vps

js4ever··on I don't think AGI is right around the corner
I was thinking the same about AI in 2022 ... And I was so wrong!

js4ever··on I could not convince my k8s team to go AWS serverless
here it is:

Title: Serverless is eating Kubernetes—and that's a good thing

After 6 years of watching K8s engineers over-engineer themselves into a corner with YAML spaghetti, I finally moved a production workload to AWS Lambda + EventBridge + DynamoDB. You know what happened?

Nothing broke. It just worked.

No Helm charts. No Ingress hell. No cluster upgrades at 3am because of CVEs in some sidecar no one uses anymore. The whole app is now ~300 lines of infra code and it scales from 0 to 10k RPS without me touching anything.

Meanwhile, the K8s crowd is still debating which operator to use to restart a pod that keeps crashing because someone misconfigured a liveness probe. Or building internal platforms to abstract away the abstraction they just built last quarter.

Remind me again what the value-add of Kubernetes is in 2025? Other than keeping a whole cottage industry of "DevOps" engineers employed?

Serverless isn’t the future. It’s the present. And K8s? It’s the next OpenStack—just slower to die because it has better branding.

js4ever··on Microsoft for Startups now capped to $5k without an investor affiliation
Probably because of too much abuse, and VC is still a good signal to avoid that. On the other side, startups can get equivalent of 150K azure credits for less than $3K with Hetzner :p
js4ever··on Build and Host AI-Powered Apps with Claude – No Deployment Needed
Current limitations: No external API calls (yet), No persistent storage
js4ever··on U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites
Nuclear weapons in the hands of crazy islamist terrorists and sponsoring all other terrorists around the world (Hutis, Hezbollah, Hamas, ...), with crystal clear public plans to destroy israel, what could go wrong?

I don't see how it could be worst, any other gov in Iran would be better for the world and for the peoples in Iran.

Are you genuinly thinking that giving nuclear weapons to terrorists is a good idea?
