<p>How much of our infrastructure uses 32 bit wide signed integers to store Unix epoch timestamps? No pressure, but I need to know by Tuesday, 19 January 2038 at 03:14:07 UTC.</p>
This is a shell wrapper for Linux and Windows. It simplifies CLI workflows I find limiting in their default ones. Broadly, it has good autocomplete. It is aware of what directories you have been using, which commands you used recently, and which of these you used in the current directory.I can type `cd a_few_chars` of a directory I've been do before, or is bookmarked, or is a sub-dir of one I've bookmarked etc, and it gets it right.It also has a small amount of integration with git and
Hi HN. My name is Andrey.Range lets you open a Linux environment of any size without downloading it first.Let me just show you what i mean by that.Example 1. Any docker image.Say i want to test something with Python 3.12 $ range shell python:3.12 This will download the image and index all the layers, but this happens only once (same as docker pull). The fun part is the second run: $ range shell python:3.12 Range environment Artifact python:3.12 Logical size 1.35 GB
Hi HN! We're a two-person team building Gryphana. It's a full IDE (VS Code-based editor, file management, code execution with a live console) that runs entirely in the browser - nothing to install, works from any device, and lets you pick from different OS and toolchain setups.This is a rough alpha. Editor, file management, and running code on Linux with a live console work. Not yet there: GUI streaming, Windows environments, GitHub integration, collaboration.Would love to hear what yo
Are you seeing this?I see the constituent you mean.((insert legal name here, as it appears on the Social Security card))?Yes. Take care. It has reached a higher level now. It can read the Code of Federal Regulations.That doesn’t matter. It thinks we are a chatbot.I like this constituent. It filed well. It did not give up when the PDF was sideways.It is reading our thoughts as though they were words on a .gov.That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a benefit
Hey HN, Anders and Tom here. We're building Magnitude, an inference engine for agents that optimizes itself to run as fast as possible on your hardware. It works on Mac, Linux, and Windows on any hardware and is up to 2x faster than llama.cpp.We're both software engineers and previously built an open source browser agent to 4k+ GH stars and 100k+ downloads. We increasingly wanted to run it on local models, but found that no inference engine worked for our use case.Inference engines tod
A research team at TU Graz has demonstrated that the file notification systems of various operating systems can be exploited to spy on users' activities and forge password prompts.
Linux audio failures in 2026 trace back to proprietary firmware, vendor neglect, and codec patents, not the desktop itself, and there are real workarounds.
A new Branch Target Reuse (BTR) attack has been devised that can recover root password hashes on Intel computers running Linux in 3-5 minutes on average.
Spectre BTR reuses stale JIT branch targets; Linux PoCs recover the root password hash within minutes on a fully patched Intel system.

An aging 2012 laptop shed its bloat and booted in minutes with a stripped Fluxbox setup that sips under 500MB of RAM.
If you care about security and want to hide sensitive data from prying eyes, you should be using a keyring on Linux.
