vladde··on Go will reject certificate chains containing eight distrusted SPKIs

vladde··on Making a 88x31 button book using ImageMagick
obligatory recommendation, the "The 88x31 GIF Collection: Part 1" https://cyber.dabamos.de/88x31/
vladde··on OpenBSD 8.0
similar on the front page https://www.openbsd.org/index.html , "UNDSREA LREER"

it seems very much like social commentary.

vladde··on Ask HN: What are you reading?
reading the second edition of "Clean Code", it's been a while since i read the first edition.

will be giving my trainee this book too, and hoping we can discuss parts of the book we agree and don't agree with.

vladde··on Richardson Maturity Model, Steps Toward the Glory of REST
i don't think i've ever built a level 3 rest api in production
vladde··on Reversing Factorio's RNG
decino made a video about that, and at 13 minutes in the video they show what happens in-game if you set all values to 0 :)

vladde··on Nvidia announces native GPU programming in Rust
i do this to put emphasis, i always type "h*ck".

(although it is a half-joke since it's definitely not a curse word imo)

vladde··on Why is Google still serving dodgy ads?
reported an obvious MrBeast youtube scam ad. reported it and got the same response that it did not go against their guidelines.
vladde··on CSS Curiosities of the Past
funny how almost all of these are just related to Internet Explorer haha
vladde··on Coop – Isolated VM Environments for Running Claude Code and Codex
sidenote: coop is also a large swedish grocery chain, pronounced the same way :)

https://www.coop.se/

vladde··on Em dashes are fucking amazing
i like em dashes too, and i've started using double dash -- to signify readers i'm a person
vladde··on I wrote an bash enumerator because I was sick of xargs
i often find xargs ends up biting me, and i have wanted some alternative for a while... but i don't think this is the one for me.

it feel like the syntax here is odd. it still requires me to write quote my command i want to run? unfortunately i'll have to pass on this.

personally i'd want some variant where i can still auto-complete commands and have just have {} as a placeholder. (maybe time to learn how to use xargs for real?)

vladde··on Introduction to If (Bash)
i always forget the parameters in if statements are in bash. i have come back to this page multiple times, it's a nice resource.
vladde··on Firewood Splitting Simulator
i managed to get 8 pieces standing on the log, without any of them falling off.
vladde··on CSS: Unavoidable Bad Parts
regarding `* { box-sizing: border-box; }`, i usually follow the "Probably Slightly Better Best-Practice"

https://css-tricks.com/inheriting-box-sizing-probably-slight...

vladde··on My Software North Star
recently i've ran into products that feel like they were not meant to be used, but instead just follow some specification list.

for me, the end user's experience goes above all.

vladde··on Search engines alternatives now that Google isn't Google anymore
Kagi is really nice. i love the built-in feature to hide certain pages from appearing from results, and also how AI their stuff really feels opt-in. there are a bunch of other small things like navigation with keyboard that i really like too.
vladde··on Slumber a TUI HTTP Client
looks nice when you want to quickly get something up and running! i'm trying to move away from GUI-based, and i haven't really found a nice workflow with just using curl

vladde··on Flipper One – we need your help
> So people end up running full desktop environments (KDE, GNOME, etc.) squeezed onto a tiny 7" touchscreen. It's miserable.

to add on to this: you can definitely make great UI's for small screens and unconventional controls -- Playdate [1] builds their UI around a physical crank on the device, and it feels fun to use it :)

vladde··on The vi family
small fun fact: "vi" means "we" in Swedish

"The we family" :)

vladde··on State of Kdenlive
has someone here moved from DaVinci Resolve to Kdenlive? how was that experience?

i just was a bit shocked to find out Resolve didn't support h.264 on their free tier on Linux, and i don't want to re-encode all my footage to AV1

vladde··on A new spam policy for “back button hijacking”
i wonder if this includes sites that do auto-redirect: A -> B (auto-redirect) -> C

if i'm on page C and go back, page B will take me to page C again. i think this is more about techincal incompetence rather than malicious intent, but still annoying.

vladde··on 1D Chess
i could not beat it, and i can't read that chess notation
vladde··on Tailscale's New macOS Home
i love that they posted a snippet of Swift code showing other developers how to detect this themselves!
vladde··on CodingFont: A game to help you pick a coding font
similar situation here, but i used it because i thought it was funny... then kept it because it grew on me haha. had it for a few years, might give it a spin again
vladde··on Ghostmoon.app – The Swiss Army Knife for your macOS menu bar
the website design is cool as h*ck
vladde··on Hold on to Your Hardware
when you click away to another tab, the title and favicon of the page changes to something weird, but really legit looking.

a couple of my favorites: "rust programming socks - Google", "Amazon.com: waifu pillow", "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up", "censorship on hacker news - Google"

vladde··on Swift 6.3
i worked with SwiftUI for about two years, and i think it's a really nice language. the compiler is very slow though.

but i think it's too coupled to Apple still. when i tried getting anything running on non-Apple, i had so much trouble i decided then to not even bother.

vladde··on HP trialed mandatory 15-minute support call wait times (2025)
my parking space company has a variant that if you call in, you can choose to be called back at a later point.

what they don't tell you is that they will call you back after 4pm.

you don't keep your place in the queue. the first time around i expected to be called back within an hour, and ended up expecting a call "any minute now" the whole day.
