pacha3000··on Proton's AI manifesto for software engineering
Made a great use of my weekend to end my business subscription to Proton. This is the last straw.
pacha3000··on Mistral Large 4
I've been dreaming of this for a simple reason: the french prose combined with GLM 5.3 reasoning capabilities.

GLM 5.3 is incredible because for the first time with an open-source model, it feels.. enough. I don't need much anymore, this model is great in everything. Except a thing : speaking french.

If the benchmarks are true, I'd be glad to switch entirely to Mistral.

pacha3000··on Iroh 1.0
This is actualy interesting, thanks for sharing, but not really relevant as Easytier seems to be a tailscale alternative. Not a iroh alternative.

Again, the difference is: tailscale/easytier/wireguard creates a VPN network on your computer/phone/whatever. So all apps can benefit of it

iroh is a library . This is for developers who want to integrate this P2P routing logic inside their app. It is closer to bittorrent than it is to tailscale.

Both approaches are great but fulfill completely different needs.

pacha3000··on Niri 26.04: Scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor
Same². I started to regret having an ultrawide, until I discovered that it was made for Niri. I never loved my screen and linux as much as I do since Niri.
pacha3000··on Claude Code Routines
Usually, Claude code with Opus checks by itself the right tools to check the docs, for Svelte for example. So what it gives me is usually flawless.

And right now, I have to remind it every time that the MCP exists, and even then it cannot manage to find a routing bug I have with Sveltekit.

Did a lot of Sveltekit with Opus in the past, and I didn't have to think about it, Opus always got it right easily. Until now

pacha3000··on Claude Code Routines
I'm the first to be tired of everyone, for every model, that says "uuuh became dumber" because I didn't believe them

... until this week! Opus is struggling worse than Sonnet those last two weeks.

pacha3000··on I switched from VSCode to Zed
DevContainers support in coming in the following weeks, it's actually in beta
pacha3000··on Normalize.css
This is actually an awesome post, thank you for sharing
pacha3000··on Thoughts on Mechanical Keyboards and the ZSA Moonlander
I bought the Moonlander a year ago, and I completely regret it for the reason you mention: the horrible palm rest. It's wobbly, and when I contacted them, they told me that in the "ideal setup", my wrists aren't support to rest on them. Palm rests where you can't rest your palms.

I'm really frustrated, because I love everything else from this keyboard. But those wobbles really do make it unusable.

pacha3000··on Make any site multiplayer in a few lines. Serverless WebRTC matchmaking
it's laggy as hell on firefox. but works nice on chrome. won't use it
pacha3000··on Show HN: An open-source e-book reader for conversational reading with an LLM
Just seeing the introduction, I can see this tool hardly adds any value.

The introduction video shows how easy it is to import an epub, and then "asks the ebook" to give them the Table of Contents. While the ToC was already available... no real added value compared to RAG
