Besides actual spam spam, Gmail also gets more random similar-named people giving your address to service providers if you have something like initial + lastname or similar. There are too many "legit" companies that don't implement e-mail verification and just repeatedly send to whatever was provided.

Using long threads is an abuse of Twitter format. While people do that? Well, because some of them have a large enough audience there. So, better to use a suboptimal solution than not being read.
Yet, I think it is both bad for reading (even in the Thread wrapper), for public access (Twitter changed to X, and who knows what will be available only after logging in or disappear forever), and generally for preserving quality content.

So I really, really recommend self-archiving and having a working copy (I admit, I am biased here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43137616).
With current LLMs, asking it to edit it for a blog post is easy. I mean, it's not even rewriting, just a minimal edit, so it works as a separate blog post. You can link both ways to get the best of both worlds.

Again, posting is easy. If you like tinkering, there are many great static site generators. If not, Substack looks like the way to go as of 2025.

Also, I often hesitated to post otherwise outstanding content here on the HN, as it was a chaotic mess. Should I post to the core tweet (which is unclear without the context) or to the root one (which does not yet indicate that the content is worth reading)?
The backend seems to be a fairly standard Rust project, you basically run `cargo build --release` and then deploy the binary. For the frontend, it seems like a pretty standard frontend project, you install dependencies, then run build command and you have a bunch of website assets you deploy to your server.

Overall, seems pretty standard and easy to deploy. Most complicated would be to also run the various services that are supporting the backend, but again, not overly complicated.

Is there something specific that is missing to be able to self-host this?
MobyGames is a helpful website to search for physical releases, as they include box scans. Sometimes not just of the cover but also the sides.. and top and bottoms of big boxes, where the system requirements were printed back in the day: https://www.mobygames.com/game/15564/half-life-2/cover/group...
So I have this small form box (it is hardly bigger then few mobile phones stacked on each other) and I run Tailscale on it as well (also as an exit node). I installed Tailscale on my MBP and mobile phones as well. Now it is forming a network where regardless of where I am in the world I can chose my home server as an exit node and also access the samba shares and the other devices (rpi3 and rpi4).

You can probably always find a cheaper car, but that's not the point here. VW's goal isn’t to offer the cheapest EV in the world. The company is clearly targeting the European market.

It’s also important to note that car prices aren’t directly comparable across different global markets. China heavily subsidizes its local car manufacturers. An EV for €8,900? That doesn’t even cover the material costs.

Right now, VW offers the ID.3 for around €30,000, so the price gap is significant. When the BYD Seagull launches in Europe, it likely won’t be priced at €10,000 either—various factors will probably drive up its cost.

And while I don’t want to rely on the outdated "Made-in-Germany" argument, we should wait and see how the ID. EVER1 actually performs before comparing cars based on price alone. I know that the BYD Seagull is of a decent quality. So let's see, what VW will offer.
I’ve been meaning to switch to DuckDuckGo for years - this would be the final straw for me
Hello,

Very interesting! I am a visually impaired person using a screen reader, and we often encounter PDF forms that we cannot fill out independently because these forms are mostly inaccessible. Sighted individuals can do it, but we cannot because the edit fields, checkboxes, and radio buttons are not standard and, therefore, not detectable by our screen readers. I tried your tool hoping it would solve our problem, but unfortunately, it did not, at least not with the form I provided. So, maybe I did not fully understand the purpose of the tool.

However, this could be the beginning of a solution. Do you think your tool could help make a PDF form more accessible by transforming the controls (checkboxes, edit fields, etc.) into standard controls (similar to those found on a webpage)? Or is it perhaps not feasible? If such a tool existed, it would be really helpful because, despite all the assistive technologies available to visually impaired people, filling out this kind of form remains a challenging task to this day.

Thanks,

> I receive a Newsletter from a company I never heard of → <company name>@example.org sold my email address (and they can't strip the marker off, which they easily could with the +suffix).

This isn't reliable as true catch-all adresses (i.e. any local part works) are easily detected at which point spammers can just use whatever. I also don't find this too useful because usually you either can't afford to stop doing business with the company (in which case you get to be angry but can't take any real action) or you could have just used a temporary address in the first place.

I never understand why people are so fixated on battery runtime. If you actually use the device indoors, don't you have a possibility to charge anytime. For me, I alternate between my home office room and the living room. Sometimes I work when on the train. And even less often in national flights and on airports. Except when flying or on very outdated trains, there never is an issue charging.
I imagine that the average writer will simply pay for X premium instead of going through the trouble of setting up a blog.

There are platforms like Substack where it's easier to set up a blog, but X makes it easier to build an audience as well.

I currently write on my personal blog, but I have to spend time syndicating my posts to other platforms in order to get any visibility. I'm thinking about moving the whole thing to Substack or just use X premium because I can't be bothered to go though that every time I post something.

I agree somewhat but this is also aimed at independence from the US. The US has shown itself to be an unreliable ally that can get you in a dangerous position and then leave you hanging.

So much of that money is going to close the capability gaps.

Some of your points were true 10 years ago but not any more.
China has basic food secuirty, ie. there's enough rice and grain to feed the population. What it doesn't have enough is food for livestocks which means no steak at war time, but hardly a fatal blow. China gets most of its oil and gas from Russia, given what we know about Putin it's hard to see Russia cut off the pipeline to help US. Even if they do, I don't think it's enough to stop the war machine, 1/3 of China's electricity is generated by renewable energy, they also have a lot of coal, the reason they built the gas pipeline with Russia is to move away from coal.
Chinese navy is no longer a brown water navy, the 3rd aircraft carrier will be battle ready in the next couple of years and the 4th one is being built.

The assumption of US and allies completely blockade China's coast is very unrealistic, it's more likely the allied fleet will try to stop a blockage of PLA on Taiwan, which won't last a few months without external supply. And in term of drones, China is also a big player in the field. I don't think Taiwan has advantage on that. Ukraine can wreck blacksea fleet because it was a very out of date navy, unfortunately you can't say that to the Chinese one.

Difficult to land might be the only defence Taiwan has.

Really nice. Perfectly timed for enshitification, and love that it's open source. Now just need some sort of federation and it's good to go. And choosing to go with an established UI will make adoption that much easier when TSHTF.

I ran a ssh server for a while to store git repositories. We had some with secrets in and I didn't want them on github. I needed to provide read only access and read write access for only some of the repos. I ended up with a bash script that configure system users and groups and permissions to do the job. It's here:

I stopped using it years ago. It had the additional advantage of no artificial limits (file sizes etc).
You could try to use cgroups to accomplish that.

There really is no other app in this space on the same quality as Discord. Discord was born out of Skype, Teamspeak and similar being so awful to use. Discord took the complaints from these and made a product which was the best version of them all.

Yeah, I would find it hard going back to not having a offline history and drag 'n drop file upload.

Having to host your own bot for pagetitle preview and user management was also not fun.

You can selfhost your IRC client, which eliminates som of the drawbacks but that also only works for a small portion of people.

Oh I apologize for inconvenience.

Not really. Not sure why you’re expecting me to dig through the sites and ads networks that don’t use differentiating techniques too often due to basically non-existing ubol userbase to this date. We’ll see how it goes in just a few months, I guess. I’ll be baffled if this fuzz was really about user security and not pushing ads down the throats. I’m also expecting to see more ads on mobile safari for it becoming compatible with the new widespread ad vulnerability.
I remember a gitea update where they said in the release text something like "new github-like ui" and they basically copied all of it (check some screenshot of the latest version)
It’s crazy to think how close humanity was to having pretty nice stuff right before Facebook came along. I don’t think it was obvious at the time but in retrospect, just before Facebook there was:

- RSS/atom for notifications without requiring an account

- Creative Commons for establishing a legal framework to choose how you wanted your stuff to be shared

- IRC for real time messaging

- Wikipedia for knowledge

- Craigslist for local

Admittedly it still wasn’t easy for everyone to have their own website, but if we had built off these things I think the web itself could have been the platform.

I know in the last few years some of these have come back in popularity (eg RSS/atom), and for me it’s been an absolute revelation experiencing what the web could have been.
Make passageways or even deactivate mines using signal from the same cable it is safeguarding. Ship needs to pass, captain sends an SMS from a sat and the mine is deactivated for half an hour. If ship is suspicious, a destroyer escorts at at gunpoint - cable signal lost, torpedo goes off automatically.
It was mostly used to slow down development and industrialisation of nations. Probably by guilt tripping developing world with the idea that the developing world would need to get western loans and green technology from the west.

That whole process is just a dirty process at least it still was during the 20th century. In 2020s there are other that came or are coming online with the Chinese and Russians willing to build nuclear power plants in the developing world and off course renewable energy is becoming cheaper every year thanks to Chinese industrial and research capabilities.

It might be that China is the last country to go through an extremely dirty development cycle.

It's not well documented, but Hacker News supports poll items. See:

Soon enough, they'll have LLMs that reason purely from the first principles of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck.
The pampered people complain about every change. Say that they need to pay tariff to sell their products in our country, they complain. Say that we can't provide them with free climate data, they complain. Say that we can't provide them with free billions or security guarantees, they complain. And if we say they can't enter or live in USA illegally, they complain.

Actually, we are helping them to grow up and use their own legs. Distributed development, self-sustainability are some words.
I don't know why everyone think's they have a right to say and behave however they want using someone else's services.

If the platform or provider don't want to associate with you, that's their prerogative.

The hubris to assume otherwise is ridiculous.
This is terrible, but I do get it. The AI overviews have gotten better and more useful over time.

But of course that just makes them even more dangerous when they are accidentally or deliberately (on the part of the developers) wrong.
Reminder that discord is an app for kids. Is your open source code and volunteer run project going to keep kids safe? Is it an advantage that the comms protocols are open and everyone can build bots? Or a disadvantage for this usecase?

Also, how is it an alternative for Discord if it's in a whole different jurisdiction?

Yeah, part of the idea came from Screeps. However I had a problem with Screeps and it's the onboarding. It feels like you have to build a lot of code just to start playing. Which is it's own niche of course, but I wanted the onboarding experience to be more incremental.

I'm a very quick-feedback-loop interactive developer so I kinda struggled with that.

I'd like people starting with my game to start where they feel comfortable. If they want to go directly into full coding and automating they can do that, if they want to start playing, get a feel for the game and automate incrementally they can do that as well. In Screeps you feel like "Immunity will end in a few weeks, hurry up, rush to something so you don't get destroyed" and I want to avoid that feeling if that makes sense.

I think factorio really nailed this, almost everything you want can be done manually first. You start mining coal yourself, then start incrementally automating more and more as you understand how materials flow in your factory. I want a similar feel.

This is also why the first part I'm building is the sandbox where you can edit units, spawn them, play with them and debug them all from the same screen, it serves both to refine the development loop and to help me build the basic unit behaviours.
"While he doesn't come out and explicitly state: "Scot is lying about disavowing violence," I do think it's fairly obvious that this is what he's implying, given everything else he wrote."

Sure, but it’s the only thing they really can do in the situation, i.e. cause as much stir as they can to hopefully draw public attention to the matter.
I too think that the idealized solution is to post the first tidbit to twitter followed with a link to the rest.

The problem is most of the web is trash. And a link might be stupidly slow to open, and then require the user to click away cookie banners, sign up forms and ads before getting to the content.

This is a problem on HN as well and imho why so many comments without reading the article.

There’s a few more mechanics specific to twitter threads. The format pushes the author to end every paragraph with a hook for engaging the reader to read the next. And the format also baits the reader to continue because “it’s just one more tweet”

As to what to post to HN, write a short blog post about the exchange. Summarizes the context, link and quote the core, sprinkle a bit of opinion and save everyone on HN a click to twitter
It's interesting that you recognize that the oval office is where you go to make an agreement with Russia.
I think the issue is more that the guy you elected seems to think it’s ok to ignore climate change and destroy the planet, which in case you’d forgotten, doesn’t actually belong to the US.
And why is that a bad thing ? That's the free market. The business owns the platform and you don't have an innate 'right' to be there.
I strongly disagree with your policy prescription. I would prefer lower unemployment. Workers are still free to leave their jobs and seek out better wages. It's just that they're no longer forced out, and I think that's an objectively better outcome.
Love to see this! Worried about Discord's future, with its monopole position greater enshittification is definitely a real risk.

You appear to be confusing first hand experience with some kind of theoretical misunderstanding of why shit gets thrown away. I used a 70s toaster in the 70s, know how their made, etc. Likewise I've closely examined a number of more modern toasters over the decades. Without exception newer models come with noticeably flimsier internal springs and locking components, thinner heating elements and cords, and less durable housing materials. If you're convinced you can engineer a product out of substandard parts and materials and expect durability to remain unaffected I might have a few questions.
I remember when I was a wee lad and wanted to optimise the free space on my windows 95 computer. I deleted program files and everything in the windows directory to free up some space on my 1.2GB Hard Disk. The pc, ofcourse, stopped booting (in hindsight it was weird that I could delete system files on a running machine, but in some ways Win95 gave a lot more power to the user I suppose).

I sense that this is the level analysis that is going into these “cuts” and “optimisations”.
You know, I have 1 litmus test that instantly lets me distinguish between capital-c Conservatives, and just plain reactionaries: how they feel about environmentalism.

If you're a conservative you have to care about preserving nature, the environment, clean air, outdoor spaces, etc. But if instead you're enthusiastic about coal, highway widenings, and your emotional support truck, you're just a base reactionary.

I would lie if I said I did not ever do something similar, and I am not really aware of any court cases or litigations based on copying a design. Core functionalities, sure.

There is many an open source software that could actually use a little bit of copying from the thing they are trying to emulate. GIMP is still one of the ugliest programs I have installed on my computer.
It's a stretch by any measures that embassies must monitor air pollution in order to provide travel advice.

If you really want to bring air quality to the attention of travellers it is of course possible to write "Air pollution can be high" on your country page, no need for real time data (why not also UV, pollens, water quality, then?)
Honestly, I find it quite simple to "blast out" a text that may not be the most concise it can be, but still is helpful for organize my thoughts.

But putting that into the format that fits a twitter thread (or mastodon, really) is just one more effort I need to make.

Compare that to the "effort" of using a hosted blog with ghost, wordpress, or sth else... I really don't see how twitter threads are lower effort.
