What engine are you using under the hood? Been playing around with Lexical myself and have been making a similar thing just for personal use.


Been working with lexical as a text editor. It gave me a lot of freedom to customize and create my own plugins.

Thanks for replying. I actually was looking for this answer but couldn’t remember the name!


As someone with a light phone 2 who hates cellphones, I love this company. The light phone is a breath of fresh air.

For 90% of people it seems like it would be unusable so I’m glad they are still going hard to expand their market.

My biggest gripe is that companies in the USA like Verizon have really fucked me swapping to the phone. I recommend you FIRST get a SIM card and then and only then attempt to swap phones.

Major issues trying to swap when using eSIM


Not that there’s anything wrong this this, but I tend to see them focused around 3D printer stuff and rarely much software. I’d love to see more software hangouts


Is this comment legit? New account, no activity…


Yeah it's legit. Never bothered to create a HN account but caught wind of this post and had to come drop some good words about the team. I use it (for free) and have no skin in the game. Just want to let folks know of a free tier that is literally 10x better than the next best thing!


K3s I’ve self hosted out of my house on 3 servers, can’t speak to a large scale operation though.


For fun, sure. Small mistake can be big security nightmare


1000 lines are easier to secure than 5 million lines


“You can write software that has no obvious bugs or you can write software that obviously has no bugs.”

I think that was ewd?


You can, of course, also write programs that have known bugs. Or even programs that have bugs that obviously shouldn't be there, but are anyway.


Not if 1000 lines are written by you alone and not checked by anyone else vs 5 million lines of code written by thousands of people and checked by countless more. Linux is probably more secure than 1000 lines of C code from a junior developer.


I think this is vastly overrated:

- how much code actually gets read outside of top 2-3 projects?

- how many of those readers can detect security problems?

- why are others inherently better at detecting problems than the author?

Wouldn’t 1000 lines read by 2 people be better than a million read by 10?


Not if you’re the only author!


For a blog? If you don't put anything important on the server itself I can't imagine a hacker could do much. Maybe put a nasty image on your front page, or put their Bitcoin address pretending it's the place to send donations, but it would take a lot of time and effort to remain hidden for hardly any gain.


or take over your server?


Unless your server has very unusual features, or there are VERY serious kernel vulnerabilities, all an attacker can do is read files accessible to the server's user or run code as the server's user.

And possibly serve attacker-controller content to other users.


To do what? Also how did you get started in that?


see magiclantern.fm and fujihack.org. it's mostly a hobby project.


Thank you for your work. I used to have an old Canon which I flashed with Magic Lantern :-)


What can you make with that?


It's a hardware description language. We used VHDL (not Verilog, but equivalent) for some custom processing in a radio, sped things up versus running in software or with a DSP (at the time, DSPs today may be able to replace good chunks of what was in VHDL running on an FPGA in that project).


The trick is balance and if you don’t practice it, you won’t achieve it.

I tried to make my work the same as play and it burnt me out. I’ve tried to recover with play and lost interest in work.

The trick is to build a routine where the expectation is that you work whatever is required, but not overwork (time and energy are finite), but you prioritize play just as importantly. Play (exercise, social, travel and experiencing life) fuel work. It’s a circular dependency that is key to a happy life. How much of each you do, for how long and what exactly falls into each bucket is what each person on this planet needs to figure out for themselves.

I’ve read the books and tried the apps, but at the end of the day none of that stuff really unlocks anything. For me, baseline is to eat healthy and sleep a lot. From there, things unlock
