mrasong··on Self-hosted dev sandboxes with preview URLs (Docker, Go, no K8s)
Nice project!

If I want to run this on a VPS for a few sandboxes, what’s the minimum spec that won’t make everything melt? CPU/mem/storage?

Any hidden gotchas not in the README?

mrasong··on Why is Google Maps back to showing old satellite images of Altadena?
That’s pretty strange. I wonder if Altadena restricted Google from updating the map imagery?
mrasong··on Codex is now in the ChatGPT mobile app
Well, this just made it even easier to keep coding away from the desk.
mrasong··on Free static site generator for small restaurants and cafes
How should the menu be adjusted then? Baristas aren’t into code, no one’s gonna learn programming just to tweak a menu.
mrasong··on Show HN: TwitterXZ – clean, fast Twitter/X video downloader(free and no signup)
True that. But I’ve noticed a lot of people still have no idea how to save their own videos, they even ask me to download them all the time.

So I ended up making this online tool to make the whole thing way easier.

mrasong··on Writing a good Claude.md
Mind sharing it? (As long as it doesn’t involve anything private.)
mrasong··on The Cloudflare outage might be a good thing
Yeah, when it went down, a bunch of the sites I use every day just stopped working.

That’s when I realized it’s basically one of the backbone pieces of the entire internet.

mrasong··on Show HN: Parqeye – A CLI tool to visualize and inspect Parquet files
This tool actually feels pretty solid too.
mrasong··on Craft Chrome Devtools Protocol (CDP) commands with new command editor
Awesome, debugging is gonna be way easier from here on out.
mrasong··on RegreSQL: Regression Testing for PostgreSQL Queries
Just found out about pglite, this library is insanely cool. You can even run Postgres right in the browser.
mrasong··on Android developer verification: Early access starts
If everything’s completely open, it could lead to a higher rate of malware installs.
mrasong··on Text case changes the size of QR codes
First time learning about this detail.
mrasong··on Developers are choosing older AI models
I usually switch models depending on the situation, for simpler stuff, I lean toward 4o since it’s faster to get answers.

But when things get more complex, I prefer GPT-5, talking with it often gives me fresh ideas and new perspectives.

mrasong··on Oxy is Cloudflare's Rust-based next generation proxy framework (2023)
Gotta say, this is amazing, exactly what I needed.
mrasong··on How I stopped worrying and started loving the Assembly
I’ve never worked with assembly before, but I learned a lot from this article.
mrasong··on Keep Android Open
True, if a new system ever wants to rise, it’s gonna need backing from a major player. But once it takes over the market, it might just become the next “Android.”
mrasong··on I've been loving Claude Code on the web
Claude Code is awesome, no doubt, but I’ve recently fallen in love with Codex. It takes longer to respond, sure, but the changes it makes are way more thorough — the attention to detail is just next level.
mrasong··on I built the same app 10 times: Evaluating frameworks for mobile performance
This post made me open up the Svelte docs again.
mrasong··on Recall for Linux
LOL, can’t believe a Linux app turned out to be an .exe file.
mrasong··on Microsoft 365 Copilot – Arbitrary Data Exfiltration via Mermaid Diagrams
We're going to see a new kind of hacker — prompt-injection attacks.
mrasong··on How I turned Zig into my favorite language to write network programs in
The first time I heard about Zig was actually on Bun’s website, it’s been getting better and better lately.
mrasong··on Why I code as a CTO
I think it’s great when a CTO keeps coding, that’s a solid habit. But using that as a reason to push overtime? Definitely not a good idea.
mrasong··on Radios, how do they work? (2024)
Probably just a network hiccup.

I ran into the same thing earlier, but it worked fine after a couple refreshes.

mrasong··on If you'd built a "tool" that stupid, why would you advertise the fact?
I checked out Academia.edu, it’s packed with papers, but I’m not really sure about the quality tho.
mrasong··on ChatGPT Atlas
Looks like the way users connect to the internet is about to change
mrasong··on Postman which I thought worked locally on my computer, is down
First time hearing about this app, sounds like it totally fits my use case. Gotta give it a try!
mrasong··on DeepSeek OCR
Kinda reminds me of PaddleOCR.

Would be awesome if DeepSeek OCR could be integrated into a mobile app someday. That’d make OCR way more convenient!

mrasong··on WebMCP
Tried Claude’s Chrome control feature before, it totally blew my mind.

Didn’t expect WebMCP to let you build custom MCP clients too. That’s actually way more flexible!

mrasong··on Codex Is Live in Zed
Sorry, I did indeed use AI, the main reason being that my subject is not in English, so I had AI help adjust it appropriately. (This is a direct translation through Google Translate.)
mrasong··on Codex Is Live in Zed
Keeping data out of Zed’s servers and letting users handle OpenAI billing is a smart trust move—too many tools bury those details, which erodes confidence fast.
