very cool. project, will evaluate this in detail.

one note, on the "Feel your sensitivity." page, it says " raw input off — OS mouse acceleration is active. Your browser couldn’t give OpenAim raw mouse input, so your OS acceleration curve is reaching the game: the same hand motion turns further when you move faster, which no aim training survives. On Linux: set your mouse’s libinput acceleration profile to “flat” (unaccelerated). Chrome and Edge deliver raw input directly."

but my mouse is definitely unaccelerated (confirmed via `xinput list-props pointer:"Logitech PRO X 2"`). i am unsure if this leads to erroneous results when aim training.

i'm on: Chromium 150, linux, x11 kde plasma.

Hi, OP here. I agree with you, "Wayland input latency" is inaccurate and I added a note to the article explaining this.

Hi, OP here. I just made sure no other user space application were running. Something that basically can be reasonable expected by a person that cares about game performance to do. For example, no one would stop sshd before their gaming session, but closing a Browser is reasonable imo.

That said, this is a pure gaming PC with a Desktop Linux installed, it's not like there's a lot running on there in the first place: no 5 random docker containers, no AppArmor and nothing in kernel space other than what comes by default with CachyOS.

OP here, thank you for the feedback. I will keep it in mind for the next time I'm soldering something.

That's awesome, odd that I did not come across your project when i was researching this. I'll make sure to read your posts and source code.

Yes, I am determined to shield my servers from malicious actors and bots that attempt to exploit it. This sometimes can lead to false positives and I am willing and cooperative in rectifying this to allow open access to real people that want to access the services I provide and make sure stuff like this won't happen again.

The security and availability of my servers is as important to me as the ability for anyone to access the public services I provide. Which is why I responded to you immediately and asked for your cooperation to help me fix the problem.

You not being cooperative helps no one. Not yourself, not other people with the same issue and not me who's trying to fix it.

Crowdsec is free btw, I do not pay anything.

Hello, this is my website and I do not know what you mean by this. If you give me technical details (like the subnet your operating out of), I can take a look at it.

My webserver is using crowdsec (https://www.crowdsec.net) to ban malicious IPs and I would guess that you are somehow unintentionally affected by this.

You can also test your IP by entering it into the crowdsec website to see if it is affected.

In Quake 3, yes. Here's a nice, short video on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he02vJvKaRs

To achieve 333 fps in Quake Live, you can unlock fps with `250x` and then use an external frame limiter, setting that to 333.

I haven't tested this, but I would guess that they addressed this bug in Quake Live.

Tho I still would expect there to be some physics-related issues and other oddities when running the game at 1000 FPS.

a free dns service? wow that's insane.

tl;dr:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

i though this is about http://xchat.org and got nostalgic :(

i'm still using postman v9 from 2022, which is pre-bloat and good software.

idk how you would define "no tracking", but this is using vercel insights, a tracking tool.

altought i prefer the default HN interface, i think the ui is generally fine and you did a good job and avoided overengineering.

with a text heavy page like HN, the most important thing is imo to carefully choose a font family and font properties (line-height, letter-spacing, etc.). as is, the default HN does a better job with this but leaves a lot of room for improvement as well.

personally, i'm using a few lines of css to add dark mode to default HN and zoom in to 125% cause the default font-size ist too small for me (an old person).

Much of it is just "put this magic string before your prompt to make the LLM 10x better" voodoo, similar to the SEO voodoo common in the 2000s.

just remember that it works the same for everyone: you input text, magic happens, text comes out.

if you can properly explain a software engineering problem in plain language, you're an expert in using LLMs. everything on top of that people experimenting or trying to build the next big thing.

documents like https://github.com/obra/superpowers/blob/main/skills/testing... are very confusing to read as a human. "skills" in this project generally don't seem to follow set format and just look like what you would get when prompting an LLM to "write a markdown doc that step by step describes how to do X" (which is what actually happened according to the blog post).

idk, but if you already assume that the LLM knows what TDD is (it probably ingested ~100 whole books about it), why are we feeding a short (and imo confusing) version of that back to it before the actual prompt?

i feel like a lot of projects like this that are supposed to give LLMs "superpowers" or whatever by prompt engineering are operating on the wrong assumption that LLMs are self-learning and can be made 10x smarter just by adding a bit of magic text that the LLM itself produced before the actual prompt.

ofc context matters and if i have a repetitive tasks, i write down my constraints and requirements and paste that in before every prompt that fits this task. but that's just part of the specific context of what i'm trying to do. it's not giving the LLM superpowers, it's just providing context.

i've read a few posts like this now, but what i am always missing is actual examples of how it produces objectively better results compared to just prompting without the whole "you have skill X" thing.

Just because a popular new tool runs in the terminal, doesn't make it a shining example for the "Unix philosophy" lol. the comparison makes no sense if you think about it for more than 5 seconds and is hacker news clickbait you and i fell for :(

I personally use 0TB per month across 6 CPX21 servers (I know I’m over-provisioned; that’s not the point).

Kinds of is the point tho, you're hogging resources you don't actually need (not talking about traffic here ..).

People probably spam-provisioned cheap CPX boxes to get cheap bandwidth.

Also, complaining about a "large 27.52% price increase" is kind of absurd when the absolute value of the increase is just under 2€.

So you'd write (presumably a big) admin web interface in straight XML + CSS by hand? I don't know the details, but that sounds like a very long and painful process which will end up being hellish to maintain, plus a huge amount of training time for new devs to get familiar with the system.

If you even find new devs who'd want to work on this. Who wants to acquire very niche domain knowledge that you can't apply anywhere else?

Similarly, the bare metal solution consisting of nginx with manual Let’s Encrypt cert setup was too much of a hassle.

It's not a hassle. Setup once and then forget about it. It's dead simple, easy and there's a million tutorials on it online.

But it's boring (this is where I'm going to old-man-ramble about things, so better stop reading now). Imo, that's why we have so much bloat, complexity and overkill use of containerization that requires orchestration in software and devops. We don't go the easiest possible route, but the one that seems interesting and most fun.

I totally get playing with new stuff and going totally over board just to host a static html file for a personal project, with the goal to learn something new. But it's not just personal projects, it's whole companies that adopt this kind of approach, not even thinking 2 years ahead, when the "cool new software" you used is now not only not cool and new anymore, but abandoned and unmaintained.

I get that this is just a random "i did a thing" blog post, but this just annoys me :(

content warning: crypto/web3 bro

Not really a script, but a `.ssh/config` to automatically deploy parts of my local cli environment to every server i connect to (if username and ip/hostname matches my rules).

On first connect to a server, this sync all the dotfiles i want to a remote host and on subsequent connects, it updates the dotfiles.

Idk if this is "special", but I haven't seen anyone else do this really and it beats for example ansible playbooks by being dead simple.

   Match Host 192.168.123.*,another-example.org,*.example.com User myusername,myotherusername

lol

if you use excessive language ("economic armageddon") and figures ("10 billion euros") like this and don't provide sources, i assume trolling.

i see he posted the bloomberg article now. imo, reading "Supply cut would rip through Germany’s industry within weeks" and interpreting that as "if Russia cuts of the gas, there will be economic Armageddon in Germany" is pretty extreme, but i guess people interpret stuff differently.. that's fine, just let me form my own opinion about your statement by citing a source.

yea, the OP article is a few weeks old and very much out of context. HN doesn't care though.. bunch of tech bros discussing headlines.

Where do you get "tens of billions of euros of economical damage" and "economic Armageddon in Germany" from? are you a russian troll bot?

it does _not at all_ mean "new nuclear"..

that was never up for discussion and would certainly not help with the problem that the whole discussion is about: a potential short term energy shortage related to russias invasion of ukraine.

fuck off

How cares whose fault it is? In the end, you're not able to provide service to your users and you potentially lose money.

I have not tried it yet myself, but heard good things about Proxmox Mail Gateway: https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-mail-gateway

why aspire to "have way more money than you need"? cause that's what this "how to get rich" bullshit is about.

set your focus on what you love to do, not on acquiring more than you need. that probably won't make you happy anyway.

if you chose to work in IT because you enjoy it, you're already super fucking lucky anyway. you're sought after and money's good (generally speaking).

if you feel like you need more, do the actual work to make it happen. don't listen to generic one-liners by some pretentious investment guru.
