Show HN: Severance Wellness Session

coayer — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 12:21:42 +0000

For Severance fans in need of a relaxing break from their Macrodata Refinement, I made a site where you can get your very own Wellness Session!

If you haven't watched the show: There are these strange therapy sessions where the characters who are stuck at work (because they have no memory of the outside world, the "Innies") are told odd but comforting facts about their "Outie" life.

I replicated the audio of the sessions using a fish-speech TTS model cloned from the therapist's actress, and displayed the facts on-screen with a WebGL-rendered terminal, styled like the ones used by the protagonists. Deployed from home with K3s, GH Actions etc.

I've been watching these guys for so long — when Wren's speaking to camera in his solo videos he overdoes it but I think he's naturally pretty excitable. Niko is my favorite though.

The MAX, sure, but the other Boeings in service are good aircraft and liked by pilots (unlike the 737).

I’m a few years older and in total admiration of you. Just from writing this comment I’m sure you’re already a great role model (at least you are to me!) I hope you get where you want to go too :)

Hi — I'm a CS student at the University of Edinburgh, graduating in May. Looking for backend/infrastructure/DevOps roles in the US.

I learned Linux through years of homelabbing and have professional experience in AWS and Terraform from a DevOps internship. I'm also interested in backend SWE — my dissertation project is implementing an aircraft tracking platform using ADS-B data, Kafka, MongoDB, GraphQL and Go.

Godspeed to any other college seniors looking for new grad roles! What a nightmare of a time to graduate.

As a student that practiced LeetCode for getting summer internships, I'm getting stressed reading these comments! It's not an enjoyable process at all.

Sounds like HW acceleration wasn't working on Chrome, no?

Star Citizen was the first thing that came to mind too! I "pledged" in 2017 as a teenager and now I'll be graduating college next year. Unbelievable how poorly the game's been managed.

Try logging in on Lastpass.com. I got the same error but it says the email is wrong (seems like the account is deleted)
