I started with one long context but added multiple comments to fine tune it till I’m fully satisfied.

Show HN: ImageHost.ing – burn-after-reading image host on Cloudflare's free tier

lzy — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 01:16:02 +0000

Built this in a morning with Claude Code.

Images auto-expire after 24h, keeps storage costs at zero. Burn-after-reading deletes on first view. No accounts, no tracking, no cookies.

Cloudflare free tier only (Workers, KV, R2). Domain is the only cost (~$10/yr). No plans to monetise, just wanted to build something with this fun domain.

May I know which claw are you using and why?

How does this work?

I’ve been running CheapestEmailHosting.com - email hosting for custom domains without enterprise pricing.

SMTP/IMAP/POP3, webmail (Roundcube), CalDAV/CardDAV, unlimited mailboxes, catch-all. Starting at $5/year for 2GB.

No marketing spend, and I terminate spammers immediately. If you run a legitimate domain, you subsidize yourself.

This isn’t for bulk senders or SLAs. It’s for developers and side-project founders who can configure their own clients and don’t want to pay $60-120/year.

Thanks for your interest. IMAPsync migrations are supported. No CardDAV/CalDAV. For wildcards, do you mean catch all? If so, that is supported as well.

Working on a low cost email service. Ditched Gmail for my custom domains to avoid lock-in risks, and I believe devs really need stupid-cheap ($10/yr 5GB, unlimited mailboxes/domains/aliases/SMTP/IMAP/webmail) high-quality hosting that nails deliverability with zero spam tolerance. Bootstrapped this instead of pricier options like FastMail. Thoughts?

Very cool project. I've wanted something like this for ages but never had the patience to glue it all together. Do you plan to support group chats too? That was a huge headache in my case. Excited to see how this evolves, even if setup's a bit fiddly.

This looks promising, especially for folks who can't tolerate CPAP. Wonder how it performs long-term and if it messes with REM cycles. Also curious about cost and insurance coverage—sleep treatments tend to get expensie fast. Hope follow-up studies confirm these results without major side effects.

lzy — Tue, 27 May 2025 02:20:34 +0000

Neat idea. I’ve definitely been burned by silent timeouts in production before. Curious how this handles more complex cases like nested async calls or third-party dependencies that don't expose good hooks. Would be cool if this could somehow integrate with logging tools directly for more visbility.

New comment by lzy in "Google is burying the web alive"

lzy — Tue, 27 May 2025 02:15:13 +0000

This feels like the culmination of a long trend. Google shifting from indexing the web to replacing it. The idea of an “AI answer mode” burying actual sources is worrying, especially for niche or emerging topics where LLMs hallucinate confidently. I’d love to see metrics on how often users click through to original sources under the new interface. At some point, if Google becomes too self-referential, it risks losing the very web it was built on. Curious whether this opens the door for competitors that prioritise raw links and transparency over synthesised summaries.

New comment by lzy in "Launch HN: Nomi (YC X25) – Copilot for Sales"

lzy — Tue, 27 May 2025 02:03:25 +0000

Interesting to see real-time AI copilots moving into the sales domain with this level of polish. The UI looks thoughtful, and the emphasis on SOC 2/GDPR compliance is smart. Sales orgs are often stuck between tooling that’s either too lightweight or too intrusive. I’m curious how well Nomi performs with accents or less structured conversations, which are common in outbound calls. Also wondering if reps actually trust or tune out live suggestions mid-call. Real-time assistance sounds great in theory, but in practice it can be distracting unless executed really well.

lzy — Tue, 27 May 2025 01:54:04 +0000

The TeleMessage dataset is massive and messy, and this tool lowers the barrier for journalists and researchers to extract meaningful insights. It’s also a reminder that “secure” enterprise tools often aren’t—especially when they’re built to satisfy compliance checkboxes rather than actual security principles. The fact that TM Signal was used by senior officials makes the plaintext logging and key exposure even more alarming. Kudos to Micah for not just reporting the breach but also enabling others to dig deeper.

Did they really give it away for free? I couldn't find any source for this information.

Yes.

I really enjoy Planet Money too. As an economics noob, what type of reading/books do you recommend for one's foray into real world economics?
