snickerdoodle12··on How to build vector tiles from scratch
If you need a backend anyway I like using postgis ST_AsMVT and caching the result. So pretty much running a sql query on the database every time the map is moved and then caching it. Super easy to maintain, don't have to pregenerate anything. Just bust the cache when necessary.

Sure, which is exactly the rationale for disabling it.

I'd be more interested in the other way around
snickerdoodle12··on Say Bye with JavaScript Beacon
It's solely created for advertisers to be able to implement their tracking more reliably. There is almost no way to use it in a way that benefits the user.

Damn, what a horror story
snickerdoodle12··on Next.js is infuriating
Yup, we do. Mind you, I'm not an american. But we often say something like "the americans" or other less flattering terms.

Why accept the result? Send it back and have them deliver something usable.
snickerdoodle12··on Mosh Mobile Shell
It's great for SSH from my phone. The connection is just there whenever I unlock my phone.

would you mind getting in your time machine and telling me this before broadcomm acquired bitnami?

snickerdoodle12··on The issue of anti-cheat on Linux (2024)
No idea what other people do, you'd have to ask them.
snickerdoodle12··on The issue of anti-cheat on Linux (2024)
Developing a cheat does not ruin anyone's fun. The same goes for guns, knives, anything that could be used as a weapon. It's all about how you use a tool, and in this case creating the tool is fun. Unless you think that everyone who fires a gun for fun, or creates a knife or even just a baseball bat, is a murderer?

do you not have any hobbies? cheat development is insanely fun

snickerdoodle12··on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel?
the workaround is literally just running a headless browser, and that's pretty much the default nowadays.

if you want to save some $$$ you can spend like 30 minutes making a cracker like in the article. just make it multi threaded, add a queue and boom, your scraper nodes can go back to their cheap configuration. or since these are AI orgs we're talking about, write a gpu cracker and laugh as it solves challenges far faster than any user could.

custom solutions aren't worth it for individual sites, but with how widespread anubis is it's become worth it.

On the other hand it's pretty crazy you could just get a domain blacklisted like that

snickerdoodle12··on Claude Opus 4 and 4.1 can now end a rare subset of conversations
> although I would find it extremely distasteful and frankly alarming

This objection is actually anthropomorphizing the LLM. There is nothing wrong with writing books where a character experiences distress, most great stories have some of that. Why is e.g. using an LLM to help write the part of the character experiencing distress "extremely distasteful and frankly alarming"?

Who is "you"? The company? The subcompany? The CEO? Each individual employee? Patsy #1281?

> A pattern of apparent distress when engaging with real-world users seeking harmful content

Are we now pretending that LLMs have feelings?

snickerdoodle12··on iPhone DevOps (2023)
I know :-( I really dislike Apple for making amazing hardware and limiting it with awful software restrictions.

If it was a phone running basically MacOS when plugged in a display with an iPhone skin when mobile it would finally convince me to buy an iDevice for the first time in more than a decade.
snickerdoodle12··on Nginx introduces native support for ACME protocol
In case it helps someone else, this is what I do:

    FROM caddy:2-builder AS builder

    RUN xcaddy build \
        --with github.com/caddy-dns/cloudflare \
        --with github.com/greenpau/caddy-security

    FROM caddy:2

    COPY --from=builder /usr/bin/caddy /usr/bin/caddy

    COPY Caddyfile /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
Then just build & run it via docker compose
snickerdoodle12··on Show HN: Doom port to pure Go – Gore
I don't know what you're hoping to hear, but I have no idea. All I know is that with loads of Go projects I've used I can go to the releases page, download a binary and run it.

And that for every .net project I can remember, which are far more rare, there's been some complicated installer that does a bunch of stuff. Or it fails to launch telling me I need to install some runtime separately.
