There's a good chance this will change in the future and the repo on the knot will also contain the social aspects of repos (issues, PRs, etc.) > As time goes on we are re-assessing the idea of users owning what is "collaborati

Most AUR helpers (well, the ones I've used at least, those being yay and pacaur) include the option to show a diff of PKGBUILD (and other provided files) for AUR package upgrades

Yea I was pleasantly surprised by how simple the code is when I read it. Honestly a great example of what termbox2 is capable of. Very nice! And now I know about termbox2, which looks very cool. Looking through the example projects[1] in th

This one does not have a sign-up wall no, however some of their other articles do (e.g. https://www.404media.co/inside-the-telegram-channel-jailbrea... , also from today)

I've asked dang about this before and he answered that it gets killed automatically because of the sign-up wall on some of their articles and that their articles weren't considered suitable for HN in the past: > does that mean

What about changing the committer timestamp slightly until you find a match like https://github.com/mattbaker/git-vanity-sha ? That would make it entirely invisible

I totally agree! This is actually a very good summary of the value prop for atproto honestly. Definitely saving this. ("credible edit" -> "credible exit" I'm assuming.) It certainly took a while for me to grasp h

On that note there's also https://tangled.org built on atproto which (kind of?) solves that. You have one identity (the same one for all atproto apps) which you use to interact with any tangled repository (including those o

Blacksky's AppView did get a mention in his 2025 predictions review[1], but perhaps it's not exactly considered "self-sustainable" yet? I haven't kept up with it in a while either so I'm also not sure on whethe

Woah that's actually huge. I've been very interested in tangled from an atproto perspective but I had no idea it had that as well. Wonder why that isn't talked about more. Seems like an amazing feature to potentially pull som

I wonder why npm doesn't block pre/postinstall scripts by default, which pnpm and Bun (and I imagine others) already do. EDIT: oh I scrolled down a bit further and see you said the exact same thing in a top-level comment hahah, my

Isn't that what lockfiles are for? By default `npm i` downloads exactly the versions specified in your lockfile, and only resolves the latest versions matching the ranges specified in package.json if no lockfile exists. But CI/CD

These days compromised packages are often detected automatically by software that scans all packages uploaded to npm like https://socket.dev or https://snyk.io . So I imagine it's still useful to have those servi

One issue I always run into with browser-based terminal emulators or remote desktop clients is that common keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl-W might be used by the browser instead. Accidentally closing your browser tab and thus losing all your s

Massively agreed. I've had this problem for years and always have hundreds, sometimes thousands of tabs open, spread across a couple dozen windows. Memory usage is actually pretty alright with Chrome these days as the vast majority of

Once atproto has first party support for private records I'm definitely expecting a massive increase in interest. It would open so many doors and is probably the main thing holding back many potential use cases as of now.

Looks like there is an update now and it wasn't just piracy-related domains. It's reported as being a technical issue at the registry. https://torrentfreak.com/hundreds-of-tv-domains-still-down-a...

It shouldn't affect Trakt at all. All impacted domains are registered with Sarek, whereas trakt.tv is registered with Namecheap. I'd say Trakt is also pretty far removed from any piracy-related activities, moreso than most of the
