evilmonkey19 — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:12:06 +0000

I decided to move to NixOS a few months ago. In terms of OS, it was one of the best decisions I've made so far. It's awesome to have the rollback experience, upgrade whenever you want and also being able to experiment without being afraid of breaking already working stuff.

Another great benefit, is that AI can read my whole OS (good and bad at the same time, I know). This makes the AI way more accurate on giving you a good solution instead of having to scan all of your OS and dig into /etc.

Personally, I really like NixOS. It's hard but definetely worth the try. Probably not for everyone, but worth it if you're a computer scientist or need to maintain hundreds of computers.

I got the point. But in this case, you have a fairly low pricing (5€), therefore i guess either you want a side project, a small business in a familiar kind or to go worldwide adoption. The last case, you have to take "tech illiterate" people really seriously.

- the landing page looks good to me, but not to my mother for example. A slight difference in color, placing or anything is like a huge problem for her. - im sorry to hear thag. However this is being a deal breaker for my parents and gf :/ they use it A LOT! - many websites have terrible content placing and search features. But im forced to use them. I use google to get to that content.

I refer to the fact that many websites don't have a proper way to search the content inside the website. For instance, many goverment websites have terrible accessibility and the data seems ofuscated.

Google solves me to search content in those websites

I really like the idea and that it's eu-made a love it. A fee things I see with kagi which are useful and improvements:

- Hire a UI/UX person NOW! My parents and gf like using google and kagi because are easy to use.

- add the widgets like the football or the show the local store with the phone number asap. My gf is thinking about moving away from kagi because of this.

- the quick ai response is extremely useful.

- Indexing websites is super important. People doesnt know where to put the content in a website or how to make accessible. Many times i use google due to this fact.

- Make a family subscription.

- make it funny, easy to use and welcoming. The branding is SUPER important.

Good luck and I really wish you to succeed! Im paying for an account ;)

I use mistralai and their API is quite good. Luckily I like to pin the versions and upgrade manually a little bit later just in case of this kind of unfortunate events.

I have been using Typst for creating notes and it is an awesome tool. I use it to create notes on welding for my students. It makes my life so much easier compared to badsoft and its not-word-ing (you understand me).

New comment by evilmonkey19 in "Why IPv6 is so complicated"

evilmonkey19 — Sat, 02 May 2026 16:30:12 +0000

Personally, i feel it is complicated because ISPs are highly afraid of trying it. I understand that such novel technology would be risky to use. But after 20+ years there are still many countries, like Spain, which are barely using it. After that much time has passed, it is already well battle-tested. At this point, you don't want to make the move either because you are too afraid of anything or you have commercial reasons.

I believe Telefonica has reasons to not use IPv6... Although in the long run is turning to be a bad decision. Look at digi :p

evilmonkey19 — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 17:39:13 +0000

Personally, myself I have been greatly impacted by this measures. Several services of mine were unavailable because LaLiga said so. No notification, no justification, they block and that's all. It has been a shame since the beginning.

Have you tried using this in prod? Or at least in a home-lab working?

Congrats to the Zed team! I really like your editor and it works surprisingly well, althought there are a few rough edges still with the python experience.

The debugger in Python FastAPI and mainly Django is not working as expected. Hopefully soon will be fixed.

New comment by evilmonkey19 in "Tell HN: Docker pull fails in Spain due to football Cloudflare block"

evilmonkey19 — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 10:31:46 +0000

Last weekend happened as well :/

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47480926

The situation every weekend is getting worse and worse. Honestly, I cannot understand how any goverment who wants freedom for its citizens can allow to block internet access to a whole country only because a private football company asks for it. I guess LaLiga is the 4th statement in Spain...

A probably will get even worse the situation with Fastly entering the equation: https://www.fastly.com/press/press-releases/fastly-and-lalig...

Just for the record: I wanted to see your content, but I couldn't because in Spain when there's football they block most websites to "avoid illegal football IP lists"... LaLiga can block anything they want without any restriction, even you website which I doubt about it. I can barely navigate... I will read it later tomorrow. This why you might see 0 traffic from Spain.
