xena··on Backdoor in Claude Code for VS Code extension on the Cursor Marketplace
I would have loved to know that this was for CURSOR and not VISUAL STUDIO CODE before I spent 2 hours resetting all my API keys and getting ready to fully reimage a machine.
xena··on Evidence of a spying operation by ICE against left-wing social movements
He doesn't work there anymore I'm told.
xena··on New 14‑inch MacBook Pro with M6
Citation?
xena··on GPT-6.1 Terra
The moon is smaller than the earth. The earth is smaller than the sun. The sun is smaller than all of outer space.
xena··on Zac-OS-9: The classic Platinum desktop, reborn for modern PCs
Can you please at least write your own comments? https://www.pangram.com/history/dd0ccc3c-c477-4791-b096-85f7...
xena··on Upcoming critical PHP security release (CVE-2026-109618 / -109619)
The only mit is to deny all traffic to affected services. Uma Musume is taking itself offline. You can eat the downtime if gacha games can.
xena··on Upcoming critical PHP security release (CVE-2026-109618 / -109619)
Humans generally have the need for a process called "sleep" where people are generally required to go horizontal and unconscious for at least 6 hours per day.
xena··on Security advisory: Critical remote code execution vulnerabilities, update now
You could disconnect the web server from the internet!
xena··on Legal experts warn Meta's new terms still grant broad scraping permissions
How much would I have to pay you for you to change careers permanently?
xena··on Cloudflare acquires Deno
Do you have an example of how to do this with an example nontrivial durable objects app?
xena··on Cloudflare acquires Deno
Well this sucks. My blog is based on deno as I wasn't a fan of node.js at the time. I guess I'm gonna have to rewrite my blog engine.
xena··on Parley: Federated, decentralised chat that speaks plain IRC
Hacker News marketing skills tell people to leave a context comment on Hacker News. Don't complain about it too much, that is our way of figuring out who is lazy in an obvious way!
xena··on Parley: Federated, decentralised chat that speaks plain IRC
How do you plan to handle bad actors creating biblical amounts of servers dynamically and then spamming at line rate from all of those servers?
xena··on Microsoft drops Copilot+ branding from its new laptops
How much do you want to bet?
xena··on Self-Hosting on the Dark Web
Website impersonation/fronting is a big problem in onionland, this at least makes fronters need to take more effort.
xena··on Claude Code reads AGENTS.md only when telemetry is on [fixed]
Contact me at the email address in my HN account and we can arrange for a human with a soul and feelings to write the docs from scratch assuming you have a price in mind that values the nature of my talent and experience.
xena··on You can run Git on object storage if you re-make packfiles
I'm the author and content lead at Tigris. My policy for the team is "do not self post to hacker news".
xena··on Show HN: Ax-check.com – Can agents use your product?
As someone that works for a company that gets a 100% score on ax-check, all the effort I've put into making it accessible for agents has not 10xed the growth numbers like I was told it would.
xena··on An update on Wayback Machine access
They don't read robots.txt anyways so it doesn't matter.
xena··on An update on Wayback Machine access
Yes. It's impossible to tell which because the split is residential proxies, dataset curators, and AI companies all being separate actors. However I fucking guarantee you it's out there and people are too cowardly to be honest about it so they don't get sued out of existence.
xena··on An update on Wayback Machine access
AI bros think they should be exempt from robots.txt. Administrators of big services beg to differ. No solid consensus has arisen. I bet it's gonna take a lawsuit or two to see how it shakes out.
xena··on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27
I did that too! The update servers are hammered as is tradition.
xena··on Everyone should slow down AI development except for me
Nope, leading.
xena··on Everyone should slow down AI development except for me
No I think it's one of my IP range blocks against specific US states in protest of them advocating against people that exist in the same conditions as me backfiring. I'm gonna go nuke that firewall rule.
xena··on Everyone should slow down AI development except for me
I think you accidentally a word. Did you mean:

> I've yet to have a logical discussion with anyone who thinks the "AI Safety" people should be in charge and I think they just truly don't [know] that what most them actually want is to be the one holding the keys to power.

xena··on Object storage is all you need
I've occasionally pitched the idea of exposing transactions for object storage based on bucket forking. I think the idea is finally starting to land, but it's a really "out there" usecase that is likely hard to conceptualize until it's usable in some form.
xena··on We Must Return to the Office to Use AI in Person
No, there is soul in this that a soulless automaton cannot replicate. It is the difference between making something to be consumed and something to be felt. This is something to be felt.
xena··on It took a year to ship WebAssembly in Anubis
Please submit a fix to cgit then.
xena··on It took a year to ship WebAssembly in Anubis
This is exactly what I've been working on. For obvious reasons around it not being done yet, I don't have anything else to say.
xena··on It took a year to ship WebAssembly in Anubis
If you don't disable browser features for fun and/or sport, Chrome as of version 120 or later (or another browser of that vintage) will use the optimized flow.
