I used gVisor to sandbox containers for a short-lived "free-tier isolated-kubernetes-namespaces-as-a-service" startup. It was really neat, and it worked pretty damn well. Alas, we were attacked constantly by crypto miners and failed to make enough money to keep the free-tier online.

I still think there are some really fun projects yet-to-be-built harnessing very solid sandboxing. I had dreamed of a full-stack geocities revival. Oh well. +1 for gVisor, hopefully filesystem IO is faster now than it was several years ago.

Why do you think AGPLv3 isn't good enough for that? I've never seen Google and Co using it, while small companies do.
100% I second this ^ I am a founder myself and had the same unfortunate experience with Stripe. Stripe shut down my previous SaaS without warning or explanation. It was almost a death sentence for my business.

I built OpenPay (getopenpay.com) so businesses can flexibly move from Stripe to another payment processor without losing a cent of revenue. Happy to help anyone on HN get set up. Feel free to reach out to me at lance [at] getopenpay.com

PS we don't have a public pricing page yet but we charge less than Stripe. Stripe charges 0.7% for Stripe billing–we're offering a HN discount for 0.5% so we're cheaper than Stripe and give you the flexibility to move between payment processors
Haha. That is awesome.
Well done.

Show HN: CodeSwissKnife – Free Beta Developer Toolkit for macOS and Windows
Hi HN! I’m excited to introduce CodeSwissKnife, a free beta version of a comprehensive developer toolkit that I’ve built for macOS and Windows. It’s designed to simplify everyday tasks like encoding, decoding, text formatting, and more—all without needing an internet connection.

I created this tool because I was tired of searching online for quick utilities, only to be bombarded by ads and security concerns. With CodeSwissKnife, everything runs offline, keeping your data secure on your device.

Key Features:

Text case converters (UpperCase, CamelCase, KebabCase, and more)
Encoding & decoding (Base64, URLs, HTML entities)
Parsing & generation (UUIDs, URI parsing)
Cryptography tools (hash generation, JWT validation)
Conversion & formatting (JSON, XML, color formats)
I’d love for you to try out the beta, give feedback, and suggest any features you’d like to see added!

Feedback and bug reports are very welcome as I continue to improve the app. Thank you!

Do y'all support archiving pages that are behind logins? Like using browser cookies?
Maybe you could ignore that test by default, and then write a shell script to run your tests in two stages. First you run only the should-fail test(s) and assert that they fail. Then you can run your actual tests.
For devs like us, archivebox? or browsertrix-crawler? for scraping entire sites for our own uses, maybe to keep contents behind pay walls while we have subscriptions or maybe to feed them to local LLMs to ask?
Would you please stop posting this sort of battle comment to HN? You've been doing it repeatedly and breaking the site guidelines in the process. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for—regardless of which war, or which side you're for or against.

I know other commenters have been doing it too, but your comments (and comment history) stand out among the ones I've looked at in this thread so far.

> but most of the issues I see come from foreign entities being in denial of Brexit happening and now drafting in draconian laws that look like they're punishing britain, even if it's just a case of the EU never thought to harmonize EU<->UK relations into 1 concrete set of agreements after the fact.

No way. The UK almost left with no agreement, Boris was pushing for it, he was put into power on that platform. Theresa May was probably the most sane voice of the Tories post-facto of Brexit, trying at least to push into some kind of deal to bring harmonisation between EU-UK laws, and she was thoroughly rejected by the British public and Tories in the House of Commons.

You can't blame the EU for the decisions you (as in UK) took, you voted for Brexit, the UK population voted in Boris, you reap what you sow.

There's no "punishment", the EU also loses a lot by not having the UK, European academia lost a lot, European advanced industry lost a lot, the EU didn't want the UK to leave, the EU tried to push for deals and was put on a cold foot by Boris's government...

It's frankly absurd to read this, the degree of victimisation for your own decisions, absolutely no one has gained anything from Brexit, neither in the UK or in the EU. I've seen friends scrambling to get residence in the countries they lived for years because of this stupidity.

Bendy bananas was never an issue, I can't take you very seriously if you are going to spew out tabloidal right-wing vitriol against the EU which was never an issue. The EU has many real issues to be discussed and tackled, using that stupid argument is not only stupid but shows absolute lack of grasp of what were the real issues within the EU.
The article is making suppositions that aren't rooted in data. Here's another data point: where I live there are many homes and apartments that had awnings in the 1920s and don't today, and lack AC as well. Clearly they removed them for other reasons than AC. In my mind a new awning is vastly more expensive than a plastic set of blinds (or even better offering no blinds and having your tenant supply their own curtains) so perhaps that's what happened for these AC-less units.

Insane. Why even have one or expose it to the user if it's just suggestive fiction?

Oh yes National Insurance Contributions. They’re a bit messed up imho.

The employee pays 8% to NICS on earnings between 12.5 and 50k. For income over 50k, it’s 2%.

The employer pays 13.8%, and some people assert the employee ultimately pays the cost through a lower salary.

The problem is that sysadmins don’t want to actually fix there setups to make certificate rolling easy.

And every single time there’s a compromised or busted CA, or some certificate flaw, these same incompetent sysadmins get up in arms about how they cannot possibly perform one of the most basic and fundamental tasks of running connected services in less than a week.

This is a task that should be almost entirely if not completely automated, and should take in the order of hours.

This is their own fault.

They’ve had well over a decade of knowing they had to fix this fundamental failure in their systems and they did nothing.

That this change is a problem demonstrates incompetence. if it’s actually surprising (and it’s not just “we bitched before and it worked”) then they’re actually literal morons: this has been best practice for over a decade and repeatedly and clearly stated as what the future was going to be.

This change is not new.
Erik Ahrens isn't a 'conservative', though, and isn't pushing a conservative viewpoint. He's an unashamed racist who even the AfD keep at arm's length.
The state of Unsubscribe is good. Imagine how much worse things would be if legit businesses had no reason to make it easy to unsubscribe in such a consistent way like we do today.

That other problems also exist doesn't mean this solution for this thing isn't good.
Tell that to your cat
The definition of giraffe is what makes a cat not a smaller form of giraffe. It has a definition, and the definition isn't just "thing with a spine" or even "mammal".

From dictionary.com: "a tall, long-necked, spotted ruminant, Giraffa camelopardalis, of Africa: the tallest living quadruped animal."

A cat does not fit that definition, no matter how hard you squint.
There’s overlap between the retrocomputing-Winamp audience and the litigate-the-opensourceyness-of-licenses audience. The better question is, does there exist anything with an audience where the aesthetic, subjective part of its experience doesn’t matter?
Yeah, that's called a fucking integration test.
> There is no reason laws should have power over anything in perpetuity.

Laws are simply rules chosen and enforced by a given society. Having power over things is what they do. (Also, "in perpetuity" seems untrue, as all copyright expires eventually.)

You clearly disagree with the laws (and I'm inclined to support you there), but what is special about preservation that it should automatically override the will of society? Nearly all the combined work of humanity has been "lost to time," and society seems pretty okay with that.
Yeah, a real silver-lining on the API-only access for a model that is intentionally designed for edge devices. As a user I honestly only care about the weights being open - I'm not going to reimpliment their training code and I don't need or want redistributed training data that both already exists elsewhere. There is no benefit, for my uses, to having an "open source" model when I could have weights and finetunes instead.

There's nothing to be happy about when businesses try to wall-off a feature to make you salivate over it more. You're within your right to nitpick licensing differences, but unless everyone gets government-subsidized H100s in their garage I don't think the code will be of use to anyone except moneyed competitors that want to undermine foundational work.
The issues are still preserved by archive.org, e.g. https://web.archive.org/web/20241009234026/https://github.co...
We must interact with very different businesses, "unsubscribe" not working is an extremely rare thing for me to encounter. Maybe once or twice a year out of using it dozens of times.

There are a limited number of rail crossings they need to work with and it's conveniently on the ground. This company is pitching direct shipper to receiver deliveries via air so getting agents onto the ships is a lot harder and the company wants to drop off directly at customers all over the country meaning no proper port of entry. There are ways to do that but they're regulated as import/export businesses.

Old school SA was written assuming a basic level of scientific and mathematical background. Many people reading it were professional scientists and engineers who read it to learn about developments in other fields than their own. Current SA seems to be written at a level similar to the science coverage in newspapers, written for the hypothetical "layman" who is supposedly frightened of mathematics and anything technical. I couldn't imagine someone like Martin Gardner or Hofstadter writing in SA today.

>There really seems to be no loophole or workaround despite there being huge incentive for there to be one. Every time I click an “Unsubscribe” link in an email...

The loophole is that companies now claim that the email is 'service' related as part of your 'account relationship' so you cannot unsubscribe at all, even though it clearly is for marketing and promotion.
Yes. And Theodore Grey actually invented the notebook UX I believe for Mathematica around 2000-ish or maybe a bit before. Jupyter notebook came after that.
I recently read a comment I thought was interesting: once you understand why they see genocide in Xinjiang, you will understand why they don't see genocide in Gaza.
Until the link tries to redirect through their click tracking service, and is blocked by my firewall. Really dislike that

Imo it should be a single header that points to a url that accepts a post payload. Email clients could then surface the link

I have the same problem..

I have been trying to preserve a game engine which has had an important following. But there has just been so many hands in the code, there is a lot of trepidation of the risk it could open the companies up too. Not sure how to progress from here.
There is additional incentive here. Companies that make it hard to unsubscribe risk being reported as spam which impacts their deliverability. It's in company's best interest to allow a straight forward opt out or risk getting blocked.

Well, not that exciting of a release then. :(
So what, people should only be able to email you if you've previously emailed them? How am I supposed to know who I'm allowed to email?
Inventing a new mailing list and adding you to it is exactly the workaround.

Anyway, email delivery is regulated by Microsoft and Google.
> During the 2016-2020 era especially, telling people you worked at Palantir was unpopular. The company was seen as spy tech, NSA surveillance, or worse.

Lots of people still see it in exactly this way. The fact that Palantir IPO'd and is a magnet for investors doesn't contradict this. Palantir always had a reputation for champagne and surveillance.
FWIW, I live in China and have a couple of Uyghur friends and none of them seem upset with the CCP or concerned about what's going on in Xinjiang. And you don't need to be "under the close supervision of the PRC authorities" to visit Xinjiang; anyone can freely visit with a regular Chinese visa. So I would also take the Western reporting with a grain of salt.
What does your OSS group do instead?

Use the report feature. I've gotten so many accounts removed from the platform for abuse.

Sometimes I wonder though why GitHub allows like an anonymous account with no projects and no followers to do things like upload executables to my issue tracker, or file a dozen new issues on a project with 160+ watchers. Then there's the people who use AI to fill their profiles with fake content to look less sus. It's particularly spicy when you work for a non-profit that puts a lot of oversight into decisions like banning people. I think Microsoft could be doing more to make sure the people who participate in the GitHub community are openly original and have good intentions.

@nikisweeting ArchiveBox is awesome and we'd really love it to be more awesome. And sustainable!

I've posted issues and PRs for showstopper issues that took months to get merged in:
https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/991
https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/pull/1026

You have the opportunity for the community to lean in on ArchiveBox. I understand it's hard to do everything as a solo dev, we've seen many cases in the community where solo devs get burned out or have personal challenges that take priority etc.

It's hard for us users to lean in on ArchiveBox when after a happy month of archiving, things start break and you're left with maintaining a branch of your own fixes that aren't in main. Meanwhile, your solution of soliciting one time donations just makes the whole project feel more rickety and fly-by-night. How about thinking bigger?

We NEED ArchiveBox to be a real thing. Decentralized tooling for archiving is SO IMPORTANT. I care about it and I suspect many people do. I'm posting this so other people who care about it can also comment and chime in and suggest how it can become something we can rely on. Because archiving isn't just about the past, it's about the future.

Maybe it needs to be a dev org of three committed part-time maintainers, and a small foundation that people recurrently support is what grants it? IDK. I'm not an expert at how to make open source resilient. There have been discussions about this in the past, but I think it's worth a serious look because ArchiveBox is IMPORTANT and I want it to work any month I decide to re-activate my interest in it. I invite people to discuss ways to make this valuable project more sustianable and resilient.
I recommended the PocketBook Era to someone who has an Oasis in a sister comment. It supports Bluetooth remotes, keyboards, probably any Bluetooth HID with buttons. You just map any button press you want to reader actions (including ones beyond just page turn). It doesn't support input from them outside the reader interface, but fully usable without the touchscreen (you can map turning it on and off to the button combos too) when reading with a remote or the built in physical buttons.
It's all cool once you've got your ID card and BankID. But what about when you just moved there? :)
I agree, later stages are pretty much always digital in Sweden. But in the beginning you have to get mail and your name has to be on the mailbox.
You're focusing on the wrong part.

That argument is almost entirely about the length of copyright, and you're dismissing that with a quick "eventually". It's not about trying to "override" the intent of copyright.

Also copyright has a clear purpose, and the purpose is to promote culture and science, not to help things get lost. When works that people care about get lost, that's a flaw not a feature.

Building a Dota 2 Match Outcome Predictor: My Journey and Learnings

If you're into gaming, data science, or machine learning, it's a great read full of real-world insights.

It doesn't meet your definition of the word open.

Of course they didn't know what they were doing. It was written by a 19-year-old in the mid 90s. The code is messy with poor licensing and some build tools were included in the repository and they wrote a dumb license for it? Who cares, they shipped a product that 10s of millions of people used and loved and wanted to share that code up to the world and instead of embracing the best of what they were trying to do while helping them to make things better, the community piled on them until they said it was so not worth it that just pulled the whole thing.

Bravo and job well done.
> Clojure in particular is much better suited

Clojure in general is far better suited for manipulating data than anything else (in my personal experience). It is so lovely to send a request, get some data, and then interactively go through that data - sorting, grouping, dicing, slicing, partitioning, tranforming, etc.

The other way around is also true - for when you need to generate a massive amount of randomized data.
Taxes remove money from the economy to prevent demand-pull inflation.
This looks like quite a huge breakthrough, unless I'm missing something?

~25x faster performance than Flux-dev, while offering comparable quality in benchmarks. And visually the examples (surely cherry-picked, but still) look great!

Especially since with GenAI the best way to get good results is to just generate a large amount of them and pick the best (imo). Performance like this will make that much easier/faster/cheaper.

Code is unfortunately "(Coming soon)" for now. Can't wait to play with it!
I didn’t know that archive.org already has torrents. I guess what we would need, on top of that, is a system for assigning those torrents to new peers.
Email me at alex@themade.org and we can chat about options and methods. I've done this a bunch and we can usually figure out a way to meet the needs and keep risk at bay, but we will need to talk to the original rights holders, even if the thing was sold off 5 times to new companies. Usually, when I cold call the head of legal about this type of thing, they have absolutely no idea what IP I am talking about, even when their company owns it 100%, and this usually helps a lot to get them to open up. "We own what? Oh, and a museum wants to work with us? Cool!"
