visilon Copyparty – Turn almost any device into a file server

Absolutely amazing piece of software, the kind that makes you wish you had a use-case for that. Kudos to devs for taking security seriously, too.

By the way, the youtube video showcases this project really well.

visilon A Console-Friendly Pastebin with binary support

Nice! I used a similar site, termbin.com, for some time now, though it uses netcat to upload files. Definitely useful!

visilon Implementing and Detecting Anti-Debugging with Fork()

The patch code looks like a rather convoluted way of patching out the function code. Can we not just replace conditional branch with a regular one and nop out the rest? Or at least set w8 to 1 manually? I know next to nothing about ARM assembly, so I'm most likely missing something.

visilon Show HN: Retronews – TUI for HN and Lobsters emulating classical Usenet readers

> AI hate group

Huh. That's a weird thing to say.

visilon Ask HN: Going low-level – what to learn next?

It seems that I've been on a right track in some sense - I stumbled upon Handmade Network a few weeks ago!

visilon Ask HN: Going low-level – what to learn next?

Ironically, I've been avoiding learning Lua for quite some time for some reason. I guess it's finally time to give it a try!

visilon Ask HN: Going low-level – what to learn next?

Not so sure about you being behind me - one minute ago I had little to no idea what I2C or SPI even mean :)

visilon Show HN: I built a tiny-VPS friendly RSS aggregator and reader

Looks cool! I'm currently using Selfoss, which is fine in terms of requirements/maintenance, but if I didn't, I'd probably give this a try!

visilon Don't DRY Your Code Prematurely

Reminds me of this[1] great blogpost: "This abstraction adds overhead. “Abstracting” the common operation has made it more difficult to read, not less difficult to read. People for who consider meta-programming some sort of Black Magic often make this exact point: The mechanism for removing duplication adds complexity itself. One view is that the overall effect is only a win if the complexity added is small compared to the duplication removed."

visilon Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones?

I used to use aerc, though mutt is more powerful. Might switch to neomutt. Sc-im is great, however may be really confusing sometimes.

visilon RSS: How to fix your internet feed

RSS is great; I'm still struggling to find a compact and lightweight selfhosted RSS reader though. TTRSS seems like an obvious option, however Docker will create some overhead for my home server I imagine.

visilon Making a 3D modeler in C in a week

And an exceptionally well written documentation, too! One of the first big-ish projects of mine was a raytracer I wrote in C with SDL.

visilon YouTube cracking down even harder to punish user for skipping ads

Oh, I was worried that NewPipe would break! It's a great app. Currently I use Tubular, though, which is a fork of NewPipe with SponsorBlock and Return dislike embedded in.
