mrAssHat··on My VM is lighter (and safer) than your container (2017)
Integrate that with kubernetes and I'm sold.
mrAssHat··on Can You Grok It – Hacking together my own dev tunnel service
Hacking all those things together feels empowering, like a complex construct that can be built from simple things we are already used to. This article has a very "hacky" spirit, love it!
mrAssHat··on Show HN: BewCloud is a simpler alternative to Nextcloud written in TypeScript
Why not have both? A single server/service AND easy-to-install modules providing atomic functionality? Just make the install/uninstall process easy (like just downloading and optionally unpacking a modules archive into installed_modules Dir)?
mrAssHat··on Show HN: BewCloud is a simpler alternative to Nextcloud written in TypeScript
On the contrary, I didn't find Syncthing setup very easy, as I don't want to be dependent on external resources when doing a sync over LAN and thus I had to setup a coordinator myself and it's a bit confusing with all these long tokens that I needed for some reason.

mrAssHat··on Testcontainers
Better resources utilization definitely sounds like cargo cult, riiight.
mrAssHat··on Testcontainers
Because we are a big company and would like to utilize resources better.

We also want homogeneity in tech when possible (we already heavily use kubernetes, we don't want to keep docker hosts anymore).

Teams of testers need to be accounted in terms of resource quotas and RBAC.

What exactly do you see as an overkill in wanting to run short-lived containers in kubernetes rather than in docker (if we already have kubernetes and "cook" it ourselves)?

mrAssHat··on Testcontainers
Testcontainers aren't even compatible with kubernetes, that's a tool from the past.
mrAssHat··on Show HN: I built jq-like scriptable tool to query CSV and JSON with SQLite
Another one? Why?
mrAssHat··on Show HN: Psfiles – a CLI tool to monitor file system activity of a Linux process
...cough, htop, cough...
mrAssHat··on Show HN: Gcd – Git Worktree Navigator
I hate the animations like the one in the description for being too fast to comprehend.

Looks like just a fzf that is able to traverse across branches, but it is not obvious which branch the selected file is in until you switch to it.

mrAssHat··on Show HN: pg-bulk-ingest – Now with multi-table support
pg_alchemy_objects_writer
mrAssHat··on Shadxn: An experimental CLI tool that builds upon shadcn-UI CLI
More than what?
mrAssHat··on Show HN: pg-bulk-ingest – Now with multi-table support
Thanks for sharing your tool!

I think it would be best to illustrate the readme with a problem it tries to solve: currently I don't understand why a simple set of INSERT operations wouldn't suffice.

Also, the phrase "ingest data into Postgres" sounds wrong: it would be postgres, not your tool that would ingest data (if it could), your tool should be described as the one "putting data into Postgres". And thus you probably have named your tool wrong...

mrAssHat··on VirtualBox KVM Public Release
Which namespace are you taking about? cgroups_namespaces(7)?
mrAssHat··on Quickemu: Quickly run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux virtual machines
It is not obvious what the result of this would be. What hostname will it have? How will the disk be partitioned? What packages will be installed? What timezone will be set? What keyboard layout will be set? And so on.
mrAssHat··on Exploring Podman: A More Secure Docker Alternative
No pain at all.
mrAssHat··on System-wide open source ad blocker for Mac, Windows, and Linux
This snitch is proprietary crapware. Instead, use OpenSnitch when on Linux and LuLu Firewall when on Mac.
mrAssHat··on Termux: Linux Applications on Android
> how about getting access to all SMSs via CLI from a bank

How to do that?

mrAssHat··on Ask HN: What are you passionate about at the moment?
Problem with learning from AI is that you don't know if it's telling you b/s or not.
mrAssHat··on LTS kernels are no longer supported for 6 years because no one used them
But there were just 2 genders in 1990/2000.
mrAssHat··on Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month
That's curious, please expand on this. Do you really mean it performed a search for different thing? If so - have you figured how it differed?

Or did it just have to perform a non-cached search and thus not only excluded said domains, but could also reorder the other results based on the current relevance, rather than cached relevance from the past that is being served to everyone else who doesn't exclude said domains?

mrAssHat··on Kenton's House
And time too, unfortunately.
mrAssHat··on Ask HN: For a job in tech, are you only interested in remote only jobs?
I would quit rather than visit office more than a few times a month.
mrAssHat··on We put half a million files in one Git repository (2022)
The site is not opening. Thanks, CloudFlare.
mrAssHat··on Block YouTube ads on AppleTV by decrypting and stripping ads from Profobuf
That's impossible to google.
mrAssHat··on PostgreSQL Lock Conflicts
That's weird to refer to a site as a tool. A 'service' - that I'd understand, but a tool? It looks like there is actually all this information is also available as a (probably CLI?) tool.
mrAssHat··on Ask HN: Why does Firefox have such a low market share anyways?
A lot of people remember how uncircumcised was Firefox before Mozilla decided to drop XUL.
mrAssHat··on Ask HN: Why does Firefox have such a low market share anyways?
Because there are no better alternatives. I don't like Google (and never did), but I HATE Mozilla for betraying all the good it once stood for.

I hope they go broke, but they already aren't relevant anymore.

mrAssHat··on Ask HN: Why does Firefox have such a low market share anyways?
Because it used to be a highly extensible browser for power users without spyware and adware.

Then it stopped being extensible at first, then the management went "woke" with all LGBTC++ inclusiveness and other CoC bullshit, fired/made go lots of good core developers and then it all went to shit in accelerated mode.
