Looks great.

The binary is right here https://github.com/skeeto/prospero/releases/tag/v0.9.0
laughing_snyder··on Show HN: Hob - Open-source, on device alternative to Claude Cowork and ChatGPT
Linux. I saw you support HOB_USER_DATA, which is great. But I want my config to remain in .config/Hob and only move the models (or whatever else needs lots of space) to another disk/directory.

Edit: Actually I think HOB_USER_DATA is enough for my use case.

laughing_snyder··on Show HN: Hob - Open-source, on device alternative to Claude Cowork and ChatGPT
Looks great. One thing I am missing is the ability to change the installation directory for the models. For space reasons, I want them to be on a different partition.

This doesn't seem to be open source? They link a GitHub account, but I don't see the repo for this tool.

laughing_snyder··on LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer
Directly on the landing page:

> Microsoft has 33,000 employees

this should probably be LinkedIn, not Microsoft.

> Like many Unix users, I long ago created a ~/bin/ directory in my home directory

`.local/bin` seems to be much more common in my experience for this use case. And for good reason.

What plugin?
laughing_snyder··on Kagi releases alpha version of Orion for Linux
The last Falkon update was 8 months ago (falkon.org/posts), seems like a very long time for a browser without any updates. Is it not a security problem to run a browser like this?
laughing_snyder··on Firefox extension to redirect x.com to xcancel.com
> X seems very unlike twitter

In what way? More fascists, bots, and bots posting fascist things? The application itself is 99% identical to Twitter.

laughing_snyder··on Google broke my heart
I would be surprised if any human at Google had anything to do with handling this case. This entire conversation was with an AI bot.

Can you elaborate?
laughing_snyder··on UUIDv7 Comes to PostgreSQL 18
Why would exposing any primary key be bad for security? If your system's security *in any way* depends on the randomness of a database private key, you have other problems. It's not the job of a primary key to add to security. Not to mention that UUIDv7 has 6 random bytes, which, for the vast majority of web applications, even finance, is more than enough randomness. Just imagine how many requests an attacker would need to make to guess even one UUID (281 trillion possible combinations for 6 random bytes, and he also would need to guess the unix timestamp in ms correctly). The only scenario I can think of is that you use the primary as a sort of API key.
laughing_snyder··on 6 weeks of Claude Code
Has anyone had their own experience of how Claude or similar AI agents perform in large (1M+ lines) legacy code bases? To give a bit more context, I work on a Java code base that is 20+ years old. It was continuously updated and expanded but contains mostly spaghetti code. Would Claude add any value here?

laughing_snyder··on Show HN: A fair Product Hunt alternative
Some minor feedback regarding UI/UX. When I go to your landing page (https://simplelister.com) I cannot open any of the "Today's Products" in a new tab (tested on Firefox and Chrome). So when I hover over a product and the background of that HTML element changes to a light gray, I cannot right-click "Open in new tab" or use the middle mouse button to open that link. I cannot quickly open multiple products.

Your tool seems to be STRONGLY inspired by the MPL-2.0 licensed https://www.get-notes.com. And I mean STRONGLY. Down to the websites Favicon.
