Another debugging story I had: One time while I was running some server benchmarks, I was wondering why the new version was so slow. Turned out baseline was also slower, and after I turned off local AI model, it got restored!

I have a Fairphone 5, chose that mainly because of repairability. :)

I do, was using Grafana MCP to a local Grafana instance for QA-testing my web server.

I tried running a "vibe-code detector" (something similar to AI content detectors, but for code and websites) against one of my old, archived projects (I think it's fully hand-coded), and I found some false-positives (such as "wall of green" commits for package-lock.json, "no unused imports" when I'm in fact using a linter effectively, single author)

New comment by dorianniemiec in "Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)"

dorianniemiec — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 05:04:21 +0000

A new major version of a web server that would be easier to debug, not just easy to setup. Because I think ease of setup without ease of debugging is a hyperfocus trap that ends up exhausting operators.

I was working a lot on it recently...

I put my web server I'm building here, and got this... :)

Rust++? :)

Uh oh, this might look like a potentially memory-unsafe version of Rust...

dorianniemiec — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 11:24:48 +0000

I'm also building a network server with thread-per-core and io_uring, except it's a web server, it's written in Rust, and io_uring is provided by a fork of Monoio runtime (I forked it to make it work with Windows and FreeBSD).

New comment by dorianniemiec in "Tell HN: Happy New Year"

dorianniemiec — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 11:19:45 +0000

Happy New Year!

In 2025, I have learned Rust by creating a project in it (a web server), and learned a lot about web servers and reverse proxies along the way. I have seriously leveled up as a developer.

I have also created what's now the most popular project I have ever created.

I think in 2026, I'll go even further!

This protocol definitely made securing the web easier. Thanks to it, I don't need to renew certificates manually (it's now done automatically), which can be tedious...

First, thank you all for the feedback and the support your have shown for Ferron 2, when it was a release candidate.

Now that I released Ferron 2, I'm sharing the announcement blog post.

What do you think?

But Ferron isn't a state management library for front-end frameworks, it's a web server!

Ah... I also saw one more person confused about the title...

By the way the rewrite is still in Rust.

Ferron uses a different library for TLS - Rustls.

You can read how Rustls compares to other TLS implementations, when it comes to implementation vulnerabilities, from the Rustls manual: https://docs.rs/rustls/latest/rustls/manual/_01_impl_vulnera...

> If you just need some www server quickly pointing your domain to some other dude domain is not the way to go.

Yeah. But as I said before, people installing Ferron on their servers don't need to use this demo. Oh, and people using this demo don't need to install Ferron on their servers.

I just added two notices to this demo:

> Note: After completing the demo, it's recommended to delete the subdomain you have just created to prevent security issues.

> This demo setup is optional and exists only to demonstrate automatic TLS functionality. You do not need to point any subdomain to demo servers for normal use of Ferron.

Wishing the best for your concept too!
