I don't understand how you can say it was drafted by Claude and then edited by yourself when the entire thing reads fully LLM-generated.

kastdenon Show HN: Echo, an iOS SSH+mosh client built on Ghostty

In the App Store it says it requires iOS 26.2 or later. Any reason it couldn't be made to run on iOS 18? I only ask because I don't wanna upgrade to Liquid Glass!

kastdenon The Web Is Broken – Botnet Part 2

Are there any lists with known c&c servers for these services that can be added to Pihole/etc?

And reaction videos?

kastdenon Software Infrastructure 2.0: A Wishlist (2021)

Container Instances is bad though, and you'll regret using it. There is Azure Container Apps but it requires some more setup in advance.

This is the greatest addition since f-strings!

kastdenon How to use a Python multiprocessing module

Check out ProcessPoolExecutor [0] (and ThreadPoolExecutor) too for an easy way to spin up a bunch of tasks and wait for them to complete.

kastdenon Azure AD Is Becoming Microsoft Entra ID

>To make the transition seamless for you and your organization, there are no changes to any Azure AD capabilities, APIs, login URLs, PowerShell cmdlets, Microsoft authentication library (MSAL), developer experiences, or tooling.

So we will still be calling it Azure AD in most situations where someone interacts with it

kastdenon WSL 1.3.10 Brings Experimental Memory Reclaim, Updated DXCore and Linux Kernel

On a fresh install I first setup WSL1, duplicated it and then converted the other one to WSL2. I don't really use the WSL1 one much, but it's nice whenever I need touch files "in Windows".

kastdenon Following UK antitrust order, Meta sells Giphy to Shutterstock for $53M

How does Giphy make money? Does companies like Slack etc. pay for the integration?

kastdenon Ask HN: Is Satya Nadella the best tech CEO of last decade?

Did ChatGPT write this?

kastdenon WebAssembly: The New Kubernetes?

I'd suggest trying out https://k3s.io/ then. Runs on pretty much anything and supports multiple nodes that can be added later. They have ripped out a lot of things you might not need (cloud drivers, etc). Despite that, it was easy to install things like storage drivers or Cilium for networking when I wanted that.

I used k3sup to setup my cluster, but that was just for convenience.

"AAAAAAAh WOOAH Jeez guys, I sure wanted to tell you this AWESOME-SPOOKY story that I had, but I can't read the next word on my sheet because my flashlight broke. ffffffffff! I hate it when it breaks."

How did that end up there? Are the AI overlords fucking with people trying to fall asleep?

kastdenon Show HN: Linkding, a self-hostable bookmark service

Thanks for the explanation! I think SQLite is fine for this too.

My use case would be running this on AWS ECS, but since this wouldn't get written to very often (probably) and the file hopefully wouldn't be very big either, I could just have the container or a sidecar pull it from S3 on startup and sync it at regular intervals and on shutdown.

kastdenon Show HN: Linkding, a self-hostable bookmark service

This looks very nice! It’s not mentioned in the README, so I’m wondering how persistence is handled? EDIT: To be clear, I see backups is mentioned, but I’m wondering if it’s a database file like sqlite3 or something else.
