> Also GitHub should auto-detect the format on the very first “git push” and handle it then

As far as I'm aware, that's not possible because of how the git protocol is designed.

juliusdavies · 2026-10-04T17:44:39

GitHub could have both styles pre-initialized behind the scenes, multiplex the push to both, and keep the one that doesn’t fail.

In software everything is possible.

Can't confirm this "pretty generous", many people with lots of contributions to popular projects got any from OpenAI, not even a response to their request.

silverwind · 2026-09-28T08:26:47

I disagree, prefer to see directly which forge a module is hosted on.

silverwind · 2026-09-24T00:42:55

What's also annoying is that Claude Code now spams "agents-md: no CLAUDE.md found; AGENTS.md loaded" on every startup. I could just do that silently, no need to inform me that I'm using the superior file.

Or a lot more with IPv6.

ddtaylor · 2026-09-17T17:21:33

Most connections or VPS have a shared 64bit prefix that acts similar to an IPv4 address in that it's easy to block.

Yes, you get 64 more bits to make whatever addresses you want, but the prefix is still your fingerprint.

mahboi · 2026-09-18T02:50:58

Could even do /32 if they want to make it as scarce as ipv4

silverwind · 2026-09-10T07:31:53

It's quite a lot wider and thicker than a mini, and imho looks quite ugly when folded, I don't see the appeal as a single-handed device.

silverwind · 2026-09-05T06:47:18

Yeah, the UI is the real and only reason to use Nitter. It's a very similar situation with old reddit.

OtomotO · 2026-09-05T09:47:11

Since a couple of weeks they force you to login to use old.reddit.

My visits have dropped by about 95%

jwilk · 2026-09-05T14:26:29

You can use www.reddit.com (yes, this domain, not old.reddit.com) with the old UI if you set cookie "redesign_optout=true".

Akronymus · 2026-09-05T21:52:38

Thanks for that tip. Works like a charm.

Leonard_of_Q · 2026-09-05T10:49:12

Use Redlib [1] or one of the other alternative Reddit frontends.

[1] https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib

atrus · 2026-09-05T11:50:33

At that point though, it's like why. Reddit is, well, trash. It's barely worth visiting without an account, and if you're going to make me jump through hoops to visit, it's time to accept the message of "we don't want you here" and go somewhere else.

dolebirchwood · 2026-09-05T17:27:05

If you're browsing Reddit for its front page, yes, that's trash. But it can be a great source for getting information on narrow, specific topics on well-moderated subreddits filled with enthusiastic and obsessive people eager to share their knowledge. It's been very helpful for me when researching coffee grinders, refrigerators, solar battery backups, headphones, and other such things.

Leonard_of_Q · 2026-09-05T14:01:54

The reason to use it is that Reddit does provide the occasional answer to questions like "how to get a Samsung SCX 3400 to run on a Raspberry Pi" (etc.).

apefulsin · 2026-09-05T21:00:15

All those have been ingested by chatgpt, which ironically provides a better user experience.

Leonard_of_Q · 2026-09-06T06:39:18

Now all that's missing is Chatlib, a self-hosted proxy for ChatGPT which makes it possible to a) query the service without leaving a personally identifiable trace and b) separate out the facts from the dreamt-up fiction. Using Redlib I at least get to see the original posts which makes it easier to separate fact from fiction.

I've been making money from reddit, and for about a decade and a half and at this point, why bother? It's basically drained and what remains is of zero value.

nosioptar · 2026-09-05T20:12:30

Redreader still works on android.

Though, reddit's been infected by you tubers and clankers to the point that it's basically useless.

Leonard_of_Q · 2026-09-06T06:47:47

Reddit infected by Youtubers sounds like pest getting cholera, i.e. Reddit did not need an infection to be a bot-infested cesspit.

nosioptar · 2026-09-06T10:58:13

It sure didn't help any. People that get their info from YouTube tend to be morons with zero reading comprehension.

Leonard_of_Q · 2026-09-07T06:48:53

The same is and has been true for Reddit for a long time, the difference lies mostly in the ideological sauce flavouring these places, i.e. Little-endians vs. Big-endians. If you're a Reddit-endian you'll despise the Tube-endians and vice versa.

vlyan · 2026-09-05T13:42:54

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-reddit-re...

works for now. it's no longer just a redirect.

in the week or so it didn't function, I used https://photon-reddit.com/

noir_lord · 2026-09-06T01:40:27

Same, it’s been nice if I’m honest, them doing something to old.reddit.com was always going to be the final straw.

Outside this place it was the last of the “social” media’s I used.

satvikpendem · 2026-09-05T22:22:55

Old reddit redirect extension

throwaway27448 · 2026-09-05T12:08:47

The only reason to use nitter is that for whatever reason twitter allows it access to its api. The UI is terrible and completely irrelevant.

prophesi · 2026-09-05T12:54:20

I could use it without an account and know that any comment I clicked into would take me to the thread of posts under it without sponsored ads or posts.

apefulsin · 2026-09-05T18:55:47

The reason is that every copy of Nitter has a list of account tokens to log in with, and pretends to be a human using those accounts.

sillyfluke · 2026-09-05T12:41:21

>the UI is the real and only reason to use Nitter.

Why is not wanting to share my reading habits with Elon not a real reason?

silverwind · 2026-09-03T18:29:47

Isn't that basically AsyncGenerator?

adzm · 2026-09-04T21:13:17

Not really, that still yields on every invocation

silverwind · 2026-08-24T23:37:58

It's possible to drive them hard enough to really read everything, but you have to go really hard on them with many many cycles.

silverwind · 2026-08-23T17:07:54

Those benchmarks don't tell much, they only check if a problem was solved, not how. Also there's surely a lot of benchmaxxing going on in the model training.
