mdrzn··on Commission fines Temu €200M for breaching the Digital Services Act
you won't be able to sell in the EU market anymore
mdrzn··on Hetzner Price Adjustment
"When we are able to source hardware components at a lower cost, these new “limited” servers will have particularly attractive conditions."

Limited used as a "cheaper" instead of pricier service is counterintuitive to me.

"All dedicated servers and cloud plans at all locations are affected by this adjustment. However, web hosting products, managed servers, servers from the Server Auction, IPs, storage products, Load Balancers, Volumes, Snapshots, and Object Storage are not affected."

mdrzn··on Why Ctrl+V won't paste images in Claude Code on WSL, with a fix
My main issue was the ability to paste images when using ClaudeCode via ssh on a remote machine, so I solved it by having Claude write a quick bridge that fetches the image in your clipboard, rsync it to the server and paste the correct image path in your clipboard: https://github.com/mdrzn/claude-screenshot-uploader
mdrzn··on Show HN: TokenShield – cut your Claude Code bill 40-70%
$20 a month for the cheapest plan "save up to 5M tokens", wouldn't it be better to purchase another Claude $20 account instead? Since you'd get WAY MORE than 5M tokens?

mdrzn··on Cats Lock – keyboard lock for cat people
So just lock the user? And go back to the login screen?

Does it need an app? "Make noises to shoo away the cat" doesn't seem a killer feature, but good luck with this release.

mdrzn··on Show HN: Whisper Large V3 Turbo Stream API
Do not use Show HN for a waitlist.
mdrzn··on I Bought a “Junk” PSP From Japan
"Buyee isn’t just an option. It’s probably the most consistent way to do it right."

"This isn’t some modern, streamlined soft‑mod. This is peak late‑2000s PSP scene energy."

"The PSP isn’t just nostalgia. It’s still a genuinely great handheld."

Once you start noticing the AI artifacts, it's hard to keep interest in TFA.

mdrzn··on Ten Signs of Fascism. America has all of them
"This isn’t ordinary lobbying or corruption. It’s structural fusion: the same bargain the industrialists made in 1933."

"These paramilitary squads didn’t just protect the movement, they were the movement."

It's not just X, it's definitely Y.

mdrzn··on Claude helped recover 5 BTC that was thought lost for 11 years

  Rather than simply guessing the password, Claude helped dig through the old files and identify an older wallet.dat file that appeared to predate the password change. The user also reportedly had an old mnemonic phrase, which helped unlock the wallet once the correct file was found.

  BTCRecover, a known wallet recovery tool, is designed for cases where users already know most of a wallet password or seed but need help testing variations. Its documentation says it supports Bitcoin Core wallet recovery, among several other wallet types.
So, it didn't actually do anything to Bitcoin. He had the answer the entire time on his machine, it's just that Claude helped him search through his files.
mdrzn··on UK Fuel Price Intelligence – Market analytics from reporting stations
Very interesting! Inspired me to make the same thing for the IT market: prezziallapompa.it
mdrzn··on Should I run plain Docker Compose in production in 2026?

mdrzn··on Tell HN: An update from the new Tindie team
It's not clear to me WHY it was taken over.. Were there issues with the previous owners?

Also WHO are the new owners? The "About us" page has ZERO info on them. I wouldn't touch the new platform with a 30foot pole, so I guess it's time to find a new alternative marketplace.

Edit: on https://www.linkedin.com/in/gongyu/ it claims that the company name is "EEree LLC", in the email it's magically "EETree LLC"

mdrzn··on Show HN: Cartoon Studio – an open-source desktop app for making 2D cartoon shows
static video with text2speech audio and two circles moving representing the mouths: "OMG I might have a show on my hands "
mdrzn··on Show HN: Autonomous coin-flipping machine with on-device CV
"155.io has launched Coin Flip, a live game built around a machine that flips a real coin and delivers verified results around the clock."

so this is a promotional article for a new gambling game for 155.io? so an advertisement?

mdrzn··on Anthropic bans orgs without warning
Same, just had a Max ($200) account that I had for the last 10 months banned without explanation, which is weird since all I use it for is to code landing pages and write emails.
mdrzn··on Tell HN: I'm sick of AI everything
I keep reading these posts as "I'm sick of Electricity everything".

The parallel is the same. It's a revolutionary technology, and it's being used everywhere because it's NEW. Fast forward 10 years, it'll be everywhere and nobody will complain about "aw shucks, this appliance uses electricity! I miss the good old days of manually cranking it"

mdrzn··on AI Resistance: some recent anti-AI stuff that’s worth discussing

mdrzn··on €54k spike in 13h from unrestricted Firebase browser key accessing Gemini APIs
...JCip3SJw => Your API key was reported as leaked. Please use another API key.

...afnt0t-E => Your API key was reported as leaked. Please use another API key.

...-UYzYTYU => Your API key was reported as leaked. Please use another API key.

I think they all get immediately reported as leaked and invalidated.

mdrzn··on Audio Reactive LED Strips Are Diabolically Hard
Always been very interested in audio-reactive led strips or led bulbs, I've been using a Windows app to control my LIFX lights for years but lately it hasn't been maintained and it won't connect to my lights anymore.

I tried recreating the app (and I can connect via BT to the lights) but writing the audio-reactive code was the hardest part (and I still haven't managed to figure out a good rule of thumb or something). I mainly use it when listening to EDM or club music, so it's always a classic 4/4 110-130bpm signature, yet it's hard to have the lights react on beat.

mdrzn··on Show HN: ConvertPNG2JPG – A 100% free, client-side image and PDF converter
100% "free" and "local" but with a Google Ads tracking pixel (and no cookie consent banner, so 100% illegal in the EU).
mdrzn··on Show HN: Yoink – Spotify to lossless with full metadata, self-hostable, ad-free
Very cool, but tried pasting a few playlists and it never fetched more than 95/98 tracks (playlist had 100+ tracks in it). I'd be interested in the open source version, so I could run it locally on cron.
mdrzn··on Show HN: Gemini can now natively embed video, so I built sub-second video search
Very interesting (not for a dashcam, but for home monitoring).

mdrzn··on Microsoft's "Fix" for Windows 11: Flowers After the Beating
Why are there so many "slop" animations in this article? They don't actually provide anything useful over the already explained text, and the "click to restart" is incredibly distracting.
