reachableceo··on Ask HN: Cloud providers are losing in favor of bare-metal?
I’ve found the combination of Netcup (either tier of offering has been wonderful ) combined with Cloudron gives me the best of both worlds. A marketplace one click app deployment and resources I can scale up or down as needed.

I’m building a business around that offering (turnkey VPS + Cloudron + Backblaze) as I think that gives everyone “cloud” but sovereign. For $250.00 a month.

reachableceo··on How I use every Claude Code feature
I use Windows Terminal. Rename tab.

My current project I have a top level chat , then one chat in each of the four component sub directories.

I have a second terminal with QA-feature

So 10 tabs total . Plus I have one to run occasional commands real quick (like docker ps).

I’m using qwen.

Have you tried to ask the agents to work with you in the way you want?

I’ve found that using some high level direction / language and sharing my wants / preferences for workflow and interaction works very well.

I don’t think that you can find an off the shelf system todo what you want. I think you have to customize it to your own needs as you go.

Kind of like how you customize emacs as it’s running to your desires.

I’ve often wondered if you could put a mini LLM into emacs or vscode and have it implement customizations :)

What resource constraints allow you to apt-get but not docker pull? It’s the same resulting stack isn’t it?

I am most curious

Why is that expensive ? I’m genuinely asking. Considering the time / labor / troubleshooting etc to put something like this together yourself , plus cost of materials ?

In my mind , the labor rate for a professional is a minimum of 1.00 per minute. This package would be essentially one hour of billable time at the (lowest) rate a professional would bill themselves out at.

Presuming it’s FLO or at least some kind of simple AT command set and meets all the other requirements, I’m really struggling to understand how it’s expensive ?

I mean , sure if you need 10k of them or something.

Are people really this price sensitive ?

reachableceo··on Show HN: Building a Deep Research Agent Using MCP-Agent
Yes it really is horrible at using tools. Codex is way better (even better than Claude code ). Gemini is great at doing audits and content (though I’ve switched to codex for everything all in one).
reachableceo··on Deploying DeepSeek on 96 H100 GPUs
That is what I’m doing with my excess compute , excess fabrication , CNC, laser , 3d printing , reflow oven etc capacity in between hardware revs for my main product. I also bill out my trusted sub contractors.

I validate the compute renters because ITAR. Lots of hostile foreign powers trying to access compute .

My main business is ITAR related , so I have incredibly high security in place already.

We are multi tenant from day zero and have slurm etc in place for accounting reasons for federal contracts etc. we actually are spinning up federal contracting as a service and will do a ShowHN when that launches.

Riches in the niches and the business of business :)

reachableceo··on I'm dialing back my LLM usage
“ I'm finding that developing prompts, managing context, controlling pace, staying organized and being able to effectively review the LLM's work are required skills for LLM-assisted coding “

Did you not need all these skills / approaches / frameworks for yourself / coding with a team?

This is , I think, the key difference in those (such as myself) who find LLMs to massively increase velocity / quality / quantity of output and those who don’t.

I was already highly effective at being a leader / communicator / delegating / working in teams ranging from small , intimate , we shared a mental model / context up to some of the largest teams on the planet.

If someone wasn’t already a highly effective IC/manager/leader pre LLM, an LLM will simply accelerate how fast they crash into the dirt.

It takes substantial work to be a highly effective contributor / knowledge worker at any level. Put effort into that , and LLMs become absolutely indispensable, especially as a solo founder.

reachableceo··on Show HN: Octelium – FOSS Alternative to Teleport, Cloudflare, Tailscale, Ngrok
I do agree with that. As a potential customer , reading over the page, it was incredibly redundant / dense.

I recommend using an LLM to rewrite it far more succinctly.

Please update your HN profile with contact information.

This product? Framework? Solution? seems to be exactly what I’ve been looking for / attempting to put together for my company. We are entirely self hosted and use only FLO software.

We use Cloudron as our core PAAS and have been looking for a FLO zero trust / identity aware proxy for DB/RDP/SSH .

Happy to be your flagship customer.

We have a brand new k8s (self hosted) cluster deployed . We use wazuh as our SEIM, librenms for monitoring / alerting.

Currently we use tailscale (with magicdns disabled and we hand out our internal pi hole IP as our recursive DNS server ) (and we have an authoritative DNS for our internal corporate domain).

Charles@turnsys.com reaches me pretty quickly most days. Would love to deploy this immediately and write a testimonial etc

Why don’t you have an email address in your profile?

You are exactly the kind of person I would be interested in collaborating with / partnering / mentoring / hiring.

Good advice in this thread. Show your work.

If this is for the company I think it is for, they won’t use this as they have a very strong NIH culture.

I e-mailed you. Would love to collaborate.
reachableceo··on Ask HN: How would you launch a privacy-first, Instagram-like social network?
I would use discourse to build it. The feature set is incredible.

I would make it community / area of interest centric (like Reddit).

Attract deep subject matter experts for the categories.

I actually own some domains that could be perfect for this site….

Email me (charles@turnsys.com) and I can go into more detail.

reachableceo··on Open source laser microphone picks up laptop keystrokes
I just priced laser projection keyboards. 40.00 or so. I think that’s the ”safest” option.

Presuming you have sufficient levels of assurance that no software exploits are present and no keystroke loggers etc. The only way to attack and the value of the attack being high enough (root CA compromise?) that an adversary would deploy (laser) mics.

I figure that anyone this concerned would program a coupe of rubber duckies or yubikey static mode ? Then the emitted strings would be unknown.

Also what about collecting from the screen via emissions?

reachableceo··on Open source laser microphone picks up laptop keystrokes
You would presumably need todo this for the exact keyboard and acoustic properties of your target. And , what if they move the keyboard to their lap? Or put the keyboard legs down?

Also many keyboards are very quiet clicks these days. And what if I’m playing music?

I imagine a surreptitiously planted keystroke logger is far simpler. Or perhaps camera(s).

reachableceo··on Show HN: Haystack – an IDE for exploring and editing code on an infinite canvas
Why? What problem are you trying to resolve? What outcome do you want?

I find that when folks focus on specific implantation details instead of sharing requirements / parameters / outcomes that much gets lost in translation.

Why do you want this implementation? What function / purpose would it serve?

Do (heterosexual) males really have that bad of a match rate?

Why not treat it like a job hunt or a sales process? Figure out requirements, optimize your profile to attract mates with those requirements?

Sure, “seed” the matches by reaching out to profiles which meet your requirements. Try sending intelligent messages, catchy subject line etc. Stand out. Tighten your efforts to mates you find strong compatibility with.
