At a growing LargeCo now, and have been entrusted to some internal flows as an associate. I honestly don't know how Ops Managers get through the day. So many pipelines with basically non-existent audit trails. So much money leaking from the cracks in these places that it's criminal. I wouldn't trust these people to hold my beer, let alone sensitive data.

If I planned on vibecoding a project, and during preparation I found a project that loosely fit my model, I may grab it and try to retrofit it to save on token consumption. If that had too many kinks, I'd probably start fresh, but it would be worth the initial attempt IMHO.

I totally agree with the sentiment that interested parties are few and far between, but they exist. I have several disparate layers of obfuscation on the data I generate that I have control over. I understand that that is a signal in itself, but I'd rather my signal be a fog than rich data points.

My wife calls it paranoia but I call it protest.

These are the comments I'm here for. We aren't powerless to this shit. We just have to get create with our protest.

I'm not the best friend. I often don't do my part to hold up my end of social contracts. That said, I'm a fairly decent low-commitment penpal. The internet is the place where I vent as well, and it often feels like a void. It doesn't scratch that therapuetic itch and therapy proper doesn't appeal to me.

What I'm getting at is if you'd like to find a stable place to vent about some shit without worrying about some assholes scraping it, I'd gladly share an email and a PGP key with you. If there's one thing I'm quite good at, it is minding my own business. That extends to the handling of other's business.

Have a good one.

Can we get an RSS feed? Loved the post.

Always down for a new target to aim my discontent at. Thanks for sharing this piece of generative garbage. Time to write some protest requests and fill their logs with trash.

This is the best use of tokens I've ever read. I'm building this skill as we speak to use on our Enterprise Claude account.

Wish me luck on a raise!

New comment by Peacefulz in "The OSRS Botting Problem Is Architectural"

Peacefulz — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 07:30:53 +0000

20-year vet. I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment. Runelite has greatly lowered the bar for bot makers. Client injection and computer vision would've only taken them so far. I personally don't see a way out for Jagex. They could take back the reins, but at this point, the carriage is irreparably damaged. How do you combat a botting community that grew with your product? How do you combat literal decades of suicide account creation? I've known botters who said their accounts average less than an hour of play outside of tutorial island. They just maintain a list of thousands of accounts. Multiboxing bots that complete the stronghold of security and suicide in the wildy with eachother.

I know this is a little rambly, but obviously RS is a big part of my life. No matter what jagex does at this point, botters will have an answer. Not to say jagex shouldnt try. It just feels like a lost battle at this point. To a degree, I think bots in a declining community provide some value. RS3 inflation of the raw material space makes this self evident. Normal Logs passed 1k ea. Obscene and inexcusable.

This is a project that's always on my mind that I never take the time to flesh out. I can't put my finger on the scope. I don't know if I want a full, Johnny Decimaled PKM platform for my entire life, or topical, dense information about things that interest me.

I wish I could convince my friends online to fall back on email. So many times the "watering holes" have changed, and I've lost some valuable contacts in the shuffle.

The writing has been on the wall for a while. I moved off of Discord about a year and a half ago, after they started gating long-time free features behind Nitro. Then later, I find out that nothing is encrypted in transit on their application. I haven't had much luck moving friends off of the platform and on to things like Matrix, or Signal yet... but I'm trying all the time.

I know it's mostly nostalgia, but this was the best time online for me. I was just a teen exploring GeoCities, tripod, and dot.tk directories. I found a lot of good friends in that time.

I miss the Glitch/GameShark crews that were around. =Bi0= was one of the best ones around.

Thanks for the insightful comment. And thanks for taking a minute to read my words. I agree with you. I can be my own harshest critic sometimes. I'll do some reflecting on this over the long holiday weekend. Happy new year!

Insightful for someone just starting to publish content! Thanks.

As an aside, personally, as a former RE for retro games, I called creating cheat codes for games "coding". I saw it as distinct from programming.

One of us! That site is dope. Super useful for creating b-roll footage for videos.

New comment by Peacefulz in "Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025)"

Peacefulz — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 20:11:02 +0000

I'm working on building out a microservice ecosystem on OCI. I'm not formally educated so I just sort of stack things up and tear them down. I hardened my server and I am running dockerized services. I'm also running a web server that hosts the very start of my long-term personal site. It's been pretty challenging, illuminating, and down right fun. I've been putting down the controller for a terminal!

Seriously, I'm very proud of myself for the little I've accomplished so far. I don't have friends in tech so I don't get to talk about it or bounce ideas off people.

Thanks for letting me get that out!

I want to start one myself. More of a public journal, but all the same. I keep having fits and starts and things distract me from the habit. That, and I'm never satisfied with my implementation in the end and I always want to try new or different things.
