Cloudflare can and must decrypt the ClientHello for the sites it serves in order to actually serve the traffic. Using ECH with CF means you use their ECH domain and their keys.

jannesan — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 20:10:13 +0000

This is the first time I see a compelling argument for using dynamic languages for writing web backends. Not that I actually write web backends, so maybe this is all obvious to real practicioners. Thanks for sharing!

Is Immich good at finding duplicates? And generally cleaning up a dump of photos? Or am I better off using Digikam for that before importing to Immich?

How about writing new things at the top of the file? If you use dates as sections you can still add new things at the bottom of the current day, but you always have current day at top.

That’s a good point. I do think there still is some space to focus on just the coding as an engineer, but with AI the space is getting smaller.

New comment by jannesan in "Interviewing a software engineer who prepared with AI"

jannesan — Tue, 08 Apr 2025 10:13:31 +0000

As a candidate, this sort of test gives me the worst possible impression of the company.

- 0 effort on your side - very stressful for me - completely unrelated to job - ridiculous definition of someone being “smart”

Actually, I would not even do the test most likely and I bet many others neither.

New comment by jannesan in "Show HN: Ente Photos – v1.0"

jannesan — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 13:41:28 +0000

The iOS app looks great! I like that you also have a Linux app. Going to evaluate Ente over the next week by using it on those 2 platforms.

The pricing seems very reasonable as well and the free tier is good enough for me to give this a serious try.

Official standard defines around 8k characters in modern usage. I’d guesstimate native highly educated speaker recognizes maybe 6-7k at most.
