Passkeys are phenomenal for a lot of consumers.

It already falls apart for regular interactions like "Can you send me the Netflix password?"

I was talking to someone running an ecommerce site, they also run their own lighning nodes and there's many reasons:

- High risk customers that the shop can accept if there's no chargeback option. For these users that are excluded from many ecommerce shops that's a good option and they are willing to jump through some hoops

- Customers from countries that are restricted from using VISA / Mastercard

- People from countries with active sanctions against.

That’s not an uncommon price point for these kind of bikes aiming for that market segment (Woom).

There's many new and existing companies right now that are growing fast based on the promise of doing "x but with AI". This starts from customer support tools, coding agents, code review platforms and they are definitely "capturing a bag" there.

I'm not blind to the issues with AI, but Slack ignoring it (Apart from their enterprise AI search they are pushing) and having the bots interact on the platform right now (Basically spewing a lot of messages in threads with all their "thinking" and not a more native integration) is not going to help them.

There basically haven't been any new features on their bot / app platform for a long time now.

I've recently built some project that also supports Nostr (https://getbirdfeeder.com, but more for the fun of playing with Nostr) but it feels very forced to use it for something like that. It feels like it's solving an issue that no team chat ever has.

Buzz is built around a self-hostable Nostr relay. Every message, reaction, workflow step, code event and approval is stored as a cryptographically signed event. Human employees and agents receive the same basic identity structure, including their own key pairs, channel memberships and audit trails.

I am the exclusive user and I only watch from browsers on laptops

People doing that don't need a media server like Plex or Jellyfin, you just need a directory on your computer. People who use Jellyfin or Plex have a very different case of running it on servers, then streaming it to TVs, streaming boxes and mobile devices.

You can get a modern chatbot to produce this experience in a single prompt.

If you value your time that little and you get more joy out of building apps for multiple platforms instead of watching movies then this is the best choice. For everyone else it's probably better to just go with any of the hundres of solutions that went through years of bug fixing and pain already to get it working on all these platforms.

For how much Infuse gets praised I was disappointed in the UI/UX. Playback is great, but the browsing UI is terrible and offline downloads are really buggy (Just like with Plex for a very long time)

The article doesn't really state why one would do this

The most fun HN submissions are the “because I can” type posts, no need to state that.

You can also nicely use it on an iPad as a web interface as it has a web server. It really is a great piece of software.

I have a lifetime pass I bought many years ago for not much money, Plex had apps in all Platforms. Jellyfin does not at this point, even though there’s work being done everywhere.

Plex just works and is supporter everywhere. Not that surprising that people use it.

Bigger search engines have a lot of custom integrations that are not just crawling the clear web. You have a lot of benefits from collecting data for a longer time in this market.

I've often switched between Google and DDG but always came back to Google as in direct comparisons I was always not finding the right results in DDG. Kagi is the first time that I have not switched back a single time as nothing changed negatively in the quality and quantity of the results.

It's a noble goal to have your own search index, but it's duplicating a lot of work that others with much more resources already do well.

I feel it’s more a failure of regulation, it’s almost impossible to become a new search engine these days without using an existing index. There’s not many choices for that, Google won’t give you the data, Bing won’t so there’s basically only Yandex left.

I’m sure if there was an open, comparable index they would happily just use that but if you want to change the landscape and slowly build up your own index you’ll have to make some pragmatic choices that might not be so black and white.

That's fair to make as a personal choice, but full context is also important: https://kagifeedback.org/d/5445-reconsider-yandex-integratio...

It's also explained in the post shared:

I've heard "why not PostgreSQL?" a few times this week. It was even our original plan in #539! Well, it was a pragmatic choice in two different ways:

The person who volunteered to do the work used SQLite.

I don't want to use solutions that are bigger and more complex than our likely needs. Postgresql is my default for projects, but it does have the added complexity of being a separate service to run, tune, and maintain.

On the same machine where they are currently storing the sqlite file maybe? It's not that hard to run. A sqlite backup cron is also not that much more work than a pg_dump cron.

She sells great prints of the original icons, I have two on my walls and I really enjoy them: https://kareprints.com

What's wrong with that? This is a post to show users that other people are paying for it (social proof) and that the project is developing well, similar to other projects sharing how many contributions or first time pull requests they got this month. That doesn't mean that you have to show everyones salary, how much the lunch in the office is costing and include a raw export of their bookkeeping setup.

There's room for both.

Agreed, personally I'd only do it through a hosted provider or maybe consider https://k3s.io for a bit simpler setup. I'd also only do it if Kubernetes is something I'm already familiar with.

Adyen has a big overlap and they are huge (https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/).

When you are only used to the Kubernetes at work I can understand how people dislike it. If you set it up yourself and start with minimal feature and not lots of annotations the config files become very simple and not more complicated than a docker compose file.

It quickly realized that after just using the managed Kubernetes from Digital Ocean and deploying a side project there.

There was an official release that contained just that and a lot of other things like image assets uploaded on Archive.org. You can’t just put a database dump online without doing a lot of cleaning first.

There’s some websites where people made that browsable too so you can go through collages and album and artist pages with the original style sheets too. Just no forums or torrent files or images.

Great read! I spent many many hours during my student times as part of the team interviewing new members for What.cd about audio encoding settings, the rules of the site and its one of the times I look back on often. Made great friends, improved my English and spent most of my day on IRC. There’s so many good stories from this time and I wish the forums would’ve been preserved.

That has "military grade encryption" vibes.

No, because most people (not on HN) value convenience much higher than privacy.

Because Bluetooth has a low energy mode which it uses.

How did you validate that this is a problem people have? Personally I haven't received any extra spam mail since LLMs became a thing.

Did you sign up for the waitlist for the new one or are you using the stock one?

And there was no way you were going to get your legal team to install and learn git.

Because the new Siri is coming with iOS 27 and according to reports works pretty well now.
