Thank you for signaling you had no idea this was happening. I wouldn't make such a thing up, if that's what you're asking. If you have no idea this happened that's one thing - but I am telling you the truth in saying that is what I saw.

You might also want to evaluate what kind of people are attracted by your image. Your actions have spoken far louder than any accusations I have made here. Hint.

> it's easy to make unfalsifiable "There's probably archives" b.s. claims on HN.

The grapevine literally called them (not my words) "brave shill threads". Companies have been scraping the text based web for decades. Of course there's archives. They may not necessarily be indexed by search engines.

New comment by eukara in "Why PlayStation 3 Backward Compatibility Was Gradually Removed"

> From a practical standpoint, any PS3 remains a reliable and accurate way to play PS1 titles today.

> Every PS3 includes a mature software emulator for PS1 titles that runs PS1 discs with near-perfect reliability. [... Then the article repeat the first quote itself ]

I would not deem that overly confident statement to be all that accurate. Several important titles do not run on _any_ PS3 from the PS1 library. None of the original Tomb Raider discs or their variants work despite the first 4 being in the Top 20 best-selling games on that system. And games like Blaster Master Returns have graphical issues that make them difficult if not impossible to play. You can either use community patches to fix your own discs (on a modded system only, of course) or buy the PSN versions as they're hacked to run better on Sony's emulators. But when it comes to actually emulating the original system, running the discs you already own - you might be disappointed...

The maker of the provocative "Linux sucks" series is a bit of a troll. He's made videos on technical projects he doesn't understand (or care about) and just mocks them if they don't gel with him. As far as I can tell he doesn't really care, or if he thinks he does - his actions aren't translating well.

How do I know? As a FOSS developer myself with a decade plus public history I also happen to know a few people running prominent FOSS projects.

He's burned bridges for no good reason. He doesn't care.

New comment by eukara in "Ask HN: Revive a mostly dead Discord server"

eukara — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 23:33:45 +0000

Just like IRC. Except 1 giant server, 1 owner logging everything. Don't ask how it sustains itself though. It still doesn't. People let their guard down in such lax environments and many even run their entire business comms on an unencrypted app as a result too. People should know better.

In a lot of ways, this is a major regression as far as security and redundancy is concerned.

There's also the good old saying: Don't build your castle in somebody else's Kingdom. Bot developers definitely learned that recently. I don't have a lot of pity for bot developers though as many are truly, in fact, scraping data and doing other undocumented things with it (Spy Pet wasn't and won't be the only one). All I'm going to say on the matter!

There is work underway to replace those bad ones! When the IA is back up, you can find some uploaded here: https://archive.org/details/@davidga

There's been several people in the archive community identifying and pointing them out, digging through large tape collections as well of syndications of it. David however got to go through the original masters recently

If only TechTV had such an archive

I think if it was easy for them to improve critical projects like ffmpeg, we'd have seen some patches that mattered already. The only activity I've seen is LLMs being used to farm sec-ops bounties which get rejected because of poor quality.

New comment by eukara in "Six ways Microsoft's portable Xbox could be a Steam Deck killer"

eukara — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 22:23:16 +0000

Maybe I am reading this wrong - it feels like people want this to be a Steam Deck competitor? Like the whole 'I'm a PC, run me in two modes and tinker around' thing. Why? They just need to serve the existing user bases of their respective platform libraries.

Especially the implication that this may be running Windows - It'd make more sense for this to be running Xbox its system and not Windows, so people could play their library of existing Xbox games, including backwards compatible games. I have a Series X and that's what I would want it to do, as some of the best games are stuck on OG/360!

People who have an existing game library on PC would have it on Steam anyway - and not the Microsoft Store.
