Everything in this industry is about convenience.
pelagicAustral··on Ask HN: What's your current AI agentic setup?
1 - Deepseek for non-important stuff, 50 bucks seems to last forever. Claude annual 200 bucks sub (my main one), and Gemini 20 buck a month sub to complement Claude when i run out of usage. There is some kind of extra Argon allowance at the moment, so it's pretty solid.

2 - Deepseek is my pay as you go one... I only use it for small stuff, mostly as a way to validate API use on some implementations.

3 - Claude code and antygravity, I have not gotten anywhere near one of the other harnesses, i see them as the React of AI.

4 - No

5 - No

Don't hold back...

pelagicAustral··on Incident with Pull Requests, Git Operations and Issues
My deployments are tied to their container registry, so I'm equally screwed... Been thinking of going back to Dokku, I started working on a third wrapper around Dokku (yeah, I've literally done this twice already), and then self-host and self-provision... I honestly thinking seriously about this.
pelagicAustral··on Milkman – The Better Alternative to Postman
I think Insomnia and Bruno are both non-native JS apps, I think the moat here is that "this" is not "that".
pelagicAustral··on Quili AI
Who the hell would think putting a datacentre in one of the most actively seismic countries on the planet is a good idea? I'm puzzled. Pretty good initiative other than that.
pelagicAustral··on Ubuntu still has not released patch for Linux 0day RCE in almost 3 weeks
Jesus H Christ! the bug is a narrow use-after-free race that needs SYNs carrying ipv4 options to make it to the box. I do not need an army of honeypots to tell you it most likely doesnt to have a way into a classic 443 machine... come on now.
pelagicAustral··on Apple reports fourth quarter results
Yeah. I mean, I guess I could go out of my way to make it work, but I'm halfway being nostalgic. Why cant they just keep doing the same form factor?? Anyway. Im on linux these days, I get gaming too thanks to Gabe, so i cant complain... but if there was ever a 27" imac, I'd put my money were my mouth is.
pelagicAustral··on Apple reports fourth quarter results
One thing I can tell about Apple is they could make at least a few extra grand in any quarter if they were to bring back the 27' iMac
pelagicAustral··on Ubuntu still has not released patch for Linux 0day RCE in almost 3 weeks
I know something. Every fucking server with public facing infrastructure is not getting hacked left and right at the moment.

So you make of that what you will, but in my experience it means the exploitation comes hand in hand with some far more esoteric chain that is not easy to put in practice.

pelagicAustral··on Ubuntu still has not released patch for Linux 0day RCE in almost 3 weeks
I have not seen an exploit in the wild. I have at least 20 different servers unpatched (obviously) but the risk is blown way out of proportion. There are a number of mitigation options available.

Eery that this was sort of Robinson's last take https://x.com/RetentionAdam/status/2115843856411341277?s=20
pelagicAustral··on Why are Soviet math textbooks so hardcore in comparison to US textbooks? (2017)
So that was Bane's school then...
pelagicAustral··on WTF Ubuntu?
> I'm moving all my servers off Ubuntu.

I wish life was that easy.

pelagicAustral··on Trigger.dev customer environment variables exposed
Tailscale got hacked recently as well, didnt they (?). I think they did, the whole system is poisoned, because I believe one of the vectors had to do with eMudhra certs, which again, is not an issue specific to them, or something they had any say on it... there is literally no escape these days it would seem.
pelagicAustral··on Casio Watches of the 1980s
Good point. I have recommended G-Shocks in the past, to people that, like yourself, like to be out there and do stuff... it is most definitely about lifestyle too. I dont garden and I dont really go out for long walks a la Into the Wild... so a mechanical is just fine to tell me its about time to fuck off from the office, but I get that its just not going to cut it if in the middle of nowhere running from bears.
pelagicAustral··on Casio Watches of the 1980s
True. It can be a pain in ass, but it can also be part of the allure... plus, you do also have non-mechanic analog beauties like some of these Citizens that come with the craziest thing, they automatically set the time based on radio towers in the northern hemisphere, i mean who the fuck thinks about stuff that? And they charge with light, not the sun, light... forgot the name of the technology... then you have the Bulova Super Seville that also has a super interesting quartz mechanism, keeps the heartbeat of the watch operating at a rate that makes the seconds hand move as if it was a mechanical watch,and battery last a decade or something... those also super interesting watches...
pelagicAustral··on Casio Watches of the 1980s
I understand the massive difference between these and a mechanical watch, but I just cannot see myself ever using a digital watch. Ever... not even one these new super cool Garmin ones or even an Apple watch, I almost put them all in the same bag, including these Casio legendary watches.

There is something so beautiful about a mechanical watch... I am not even talking hyper expensive stuff, there's always Seiko, Citizen, Rotary and hundreds more... so its not a flex, its just an understanding of having to look at the time and not seeing a nasty digital number. Maybe its because i work looking at screens all day.

pelagicAustral··on Another Friday, another GitHub incident
Thanks for the link. looks most interesting.

Unless you use AI.

Same people, same mute message; every time, with no delay. "Accept me, then I'll see if I want to accept you".

Fuck off.

pelagicAustral··on What we know so far about Spain train crash
> That’s why people here, when they hear the fire alarm they just wait for it to go off

This literally happened to me last night, I was having dinner at my apartment, and suddenly I start hearing a smoke alarm, but not quite inside the apartment, I just kept having dinner thinking "bah, someone probably burned a toast".

Then it wont stop, I walk to door and hear people talking, still don't bother enough, wait a few minutes, then go out and my neighbor said "there are three fire trucks down there, I think it's a real one" hahhaha

The hallway was kind of hazy and smelled like burnt food, for sure... so I just grabbed my laptop and went out hahaa.

pelagicAustral··on So Much Tech News: The Week of 10/18/2026
Which one is the eighteenth month of the calendar?
pelagicAustral··on ThinkRail from JetBrains
I don't get it, is this like an IDE for Claude Code + worktrees but proprietary and with added telemetry?
pelagicAustral··on Physicists trap a single antimatter particle for a month
Definitely a matter of perspective.
pelagicAustral··on What's Getting Pwned
I'd probably add the on-hold queue of Zone-H... and verified stuff from the past week. Maybe just the Special Defacement reports.
pelagicAustral··on Crystal 1.22
Fast Ruby with no moat. Next.
pelagicAustral··on Ask HN: How does your help desk verify someone before resetting MFA?
We ask them to "see the funny" https://youtu.be/HlEJbs02wAM?is=Froy84IL8G_00ulS

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
