remram··on IPv6 Based Canvas
This is often tricky because not all home routers will let you set up the protocol forwarding you need.

Another option is to use a cloud provider that supports IPv6. For example Google's GCP gives you a completely free VM, the drawback is that enabling IPv6 is a bit of a puzzle. https://cloud.google.com/free/docs/free-cloud-features#compu... (create a dual-stack VPC with a dual-stack subnet in a region, add firewall rules, create dual-stack VM)

It would be fun to go the other way, make a giant canvas that you draw on based on the sender's IPv6 address.

Obviously it would be a really really big canvas but you could strip some leading or trailing bits.

(If we give 8x8 pixels per /64 and considering that only 2000/3 is used, that's 2^67 pixels)

I get this issue on YouTube every time (well, other way). On mobile, go to front page, search, hit a search result. Go back and you're on the front page...

If Google can't get it right (or don't care to) I think it's a lost battle.

remram··on Broadcom to discontinue free Bitnami Helm charts
This announcement is a little hard to read. They make it seem that the current images under docker.io/bitnami/* get deleted on August 28? But individual chart READMEs seem to say that images will move during a period starting on August 28 and ending two weeks later? But looking at https://hub.docker.com/u/bitnamilegacy images have been copied already?

From ticket https://github.com/bitnami/charts/issues/35164:

> Now – August 28th, 2025: Plan your migration: Update CI/CD pipelines, Helm repos, and image references

> August 28th, 2025: Legacy assets are archived in the Bitnami Legacy repository.

From README https://github.com/bitnami/charts/blob/4973fd08dd7e95398ddcc...:

> Starting August 28th, over two weeks, all existing container images, including older or versioned tags (e.g., 2.50.0, 10.6), will be migrated from the public catalog (docker.io/bitnami) to the “Bitnami Legacy” repository (docker.io/bitnamilegacy), where they will no longer receive updates.

What are users expected to do exactly?

remram··on Broadcom to discontinue free Bitnami Helm charts
I share your dislike of Helm, but FYI there are schemas for values, see for example https://github.com/bitnami/charts/blob/main/bitnami/postgres... and docs https://helm.sh/docs/topics/charts/#schema-files

remram··on Meta says it won't sign Europe AI agreement
"blindly"? Only if you assume you are right in your opinion can you arrive at the conclusion that your detractors didn't learn about it.

Since you then admit to "assume by default", are you sure you are not what you complain about?

The whole point of regulating it is to shape what it will look like in a couple of years.
remram··on Ask HN: GCP Outage?
> (most) clouds don't guarantee _any_ availability of a single zone

Really?

AWS (EC2) does: https://aws.amazon.com/compute/sla/?did=sla_card&trk=sla_car... so does GCP (GCE): https://cloud.google.com/compute/sla?hl=en and so does OVH: https://us.ovhcloud.com/legal/sla/public-cloud/

Are none of those three part of "most clouds"? What cloud platform do you use?

remram··on Ask HN: GCP Outage?
Whole-zone outages are also rare...
remram··on Artisanal handcrafted Git repositories
Yes it does, it just doesn't store empty directories.
remram··on RFC: PHP license update
I don't know what you are talking about. Many licenses don't mention trademark issues at all, that doesn't mean they grant you the right to use the trademark.

"Not mentioned at all" does not mean you can do it. Licenses do not restrict, they permit, from a default of "you may not use my stuff".

The license text could also say "you may not break into my house". That would not make it a "narrowing of rights", and that doesn't mean other licenses implicitly grant you the right to break into the software author's house if you use their software.

> I know I'm being pedantic, but this is a narrowing of rights.

No, it's not. Explicitly stating which rights you don't grant is not more narrow than implicitly not granting them, it's just clearer. Copyrights and trademark rights are different.

remram··on Monitoring My Homelab, Simply
That's what I use for cron-type things. Experience has been great. I also run it as a watchdog in my alertmanager container, so I am alerted if the alerts are broken.
remram··on Monitoring My Homelab, Simply
Do you do regular backups? If your backup system breaks and stop making new backups, what will let you know? What if your RAID is failing, running out of space, remounted read-only after an error?

I have found that "machine is online" is usually not what I need monitoring for, at all. I'll notice if it's down. It's all the mission-critical-but-silently-breakables that I bother to monitor.

remram··on Let me pay for Firefox
You forgot the "claim a license on everything users do with it" and "promise to never ever sell data and then un-promise".
remram··on A.I. Is Making Sure You Pay for That Ding on Your Rental Car
How does that hold up? If I return the car, the attendant inspects it, and I go home... then later I receive a bill about a scratch that the attendant didn't point out and that I cannot possibly inspect on the car... why would I possibly pay up? How could anyone litigate if I disagree and the car has been rented again?

It would make a lot more sense to scan the car immediately when I return it, point out the damage, and bill me right there. I don't think that is what they do though? Is the scanner in another location?

I'm late to the party, but can anybody explain how that works? I am looking at the SVG source and I'm very confused.

Interesting, I didn't know that.
remram··on Show HN: Vibe Kanban – Kanban board to manage your AI coding agents
Why do you need to "manage" your coding agents like they are people? How long does it take them to do a task once prompted, in the background?

Don't you just prompt an immediately review the result?

remram··on Optimizing a Math Expression Parser in Rust
I got very far in the README, bazel is required for the other repo (perf_data_converter).
remram··on Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY does not scale
You mean for LISTEN?
remram··on Optimizing a Math Expression Parser in Rust
That repo has no builds and no releases, kind of surprising? And needs another tool to consume perf data?

edit: And I can only build it using bazel, and I need bazel to build bazel? I think I'll stick with Perl...

I expected this to be the answer. I guess the interview is not necessarily for JavaScript programmers, but this seems like the correct solution. It brings in some facilities for dealing with errors, too.

If you can write this without seeing how you are the very worst of our enemies, then I do hope your business die, there is obviously nothing that will make you understand. I still can't believe you put those words together, honestly.

Do you see yourself as a separate breed from your lowly users or something? How can you inflict and even try to justify what you yourself avoid and say you "hate"?
