    503. Serving websites is a solved problem since 30 years. Even RPi powered via GPIO pins should be able to serve that website... /s

    > Not a backdoor, but a documented CPU feature. I would be even more explicit and call it “Not a backdoor, but a documented feature of ancient de facto unused Via C3 CPU.”

    What is special about this? Does it cost $20? Is it a cheap smart phone (why do they call it a hybrid phone?) targetting India (mentioning of cricket)?

    Someone had an idea, neat idea, but solved 10 years ago already. Edit: GPT-5.5 says: "The hidden text is “HAPPY HUMAN.” The outlined decoy text is “SORRY ROBOT.” Blurring or viewin…

    Is it encryption, or is it a synthetic language? If latter, then I had this idea 3 months ago [0]... Stop talking to GPTs in human languages, use a synthetic more optimal language,…

    Any examples of bigger and practical projects written in hica?

    All of it. AI is magnificent in hands of a skilled coder. And absolutely crap in hands of someone who has no clue how computers work.

    Maybe it's their business model? Sell to bunch of people and hook them in, then "get hacked", whoops sorry. Edit: honestly I'm flagging this post. This really looks like fishing fo…

    Pinky promise? How do you prove that what I download from you is actually what you promise you've build (and that SBOM is right)? Is this certified with some digital signature? Fro…

    > just without vulnerabilities You surely mean "without known and reported vulnerabilities". I doubt you're proactively fixing the world across thousands of software packages /s

    I truly don't get this. What is the security policy here? Why should I trust images built by minimus.io? How do I know they don't contain malicious software? What's the point?

    A) How is it related? B) I cannot just in my phone select caller ID I want, "phones in Poland allow to call you 'from'" is not true. It's just spoofing as in anywhere else and requ…

    Show HN: Mini-film – open-source tool for batch processing and reviewing RAWs

    I'm a Lightroom user since 1.0, but I don't have a Mac anymore, and using it in Windows VM is a pain. Over the years I've developed my specific workflow for reviewing images (multi…

    It's kinda awesome, the DDR prices will go extremely down (lower than before the bubble), and it will be spring time for self-hosted opensource models, cause people will be able to…

    Seems the driver is DDR5 memory, DDR4 servers are not affected from my quick look.

    Seems like it doesn't apply to older machines, I have AX41-NVMe, it's not on the list, I also didn't get any notification from them (and they usually send some) - no need to panic …

    Show HN: Mini-film, processor of RAW files with XMP profiles – Linux and Rust

    I got sick of the state of processing RAW images on Linux, especially when you apply film emulation. So vibe-coded (took 2h and 20CHF of tokens) my own solution - uses rawtherapee …

    I don't hate it. I'm just not compatible with it I guess. It's like GIMP in its early days - has most of the features of competition (Lightroom vs Darktable, Photoshop vs GIMP), ev…

    Edit: Still garbage, required 100-lines script and LD_* shim to make it even run at Linux Mint 22.3 on AMD CPU + GPU. UX is even worse than Darktable, don't bother, not even close …

    The Lightroom competitor working on Linux is a huge news. (Darktable doesn't count, it's a scientific software with some wobbly UI).
