Things to know when you get cancer

Author here. Does anyone know what to do with the rest of the drivers? I found at least 13 in-tree drivers with the same bug class. The nasty part is they work fine on x86 and silently corrupt data on arm and other non-coherent archs, and I don&#x27;t have the hardware to test them.I&#x27;d guess that&#x27;s what the DMA API is for and drivers shouldn&#x27;t be doing cache maintenance by hand, but I&#x27;m not a kernel dev, so maybe I&#x27;m missing something.

Wanted to download an ISO, ended up writing a kernel exploit

OpenCode 2.0

Back when I lived in Central Florida, it took me years to learn what native plants could benefit wildlife and the local ecosystem as I slowly replaced parts of my yard to make it more resilient to drought. After moving to Seattle a few years ago, I had to start all of that from scratch. LLMs made the process a bit easier but I still had to routinely ask the same kinds of questions over and over, despite being far more familiar with native plants these days and leaning more on native plant societies and botany resources like Doug Tallamy and Joey Santore whose excellent Crime Pays But Botany Doesn&#x27;t site was recently posted here[1].A good friend was visiting from Orlando over the summer and told me she was struggling to decide what to plant in her own yard despite her landlord being ok with it. That was enough of an excuse for me to kick off work on Indigene, which is aimed at giving folks just-in-time knowledge about what to plant based on their locale, sun exposure, soil conditions, and their own ecosystem support goals.Candidly, as many of us have, I&#x27;ve also leaned heavily on LLMs (mostly Claude here) to bring this to life. Largely to avoid saying demonstrably false things, which might be an absurd statement. You can find the GitHub repository[2] a wild array of open data sources I&#x27;ve dug out and cross-referenced to ensure mistakes and hallucinations are unlikely to survive for long. But given today&#x27;s Indigenous Peoples Day I figured it was past time I shared the projects and invited more scrutiny.Being the Keep a Changelog guy, you can bet it has extensive release notes[3] generated from the project changelog. Those are also parsed into feature-specific guides so each also lists relevant recent updates.Lastly, I put together a post[5] that goes into a bit more detail on the story of the project and what I&#x27;ve learned along the way.I really, really hope people here (and beyond) find it as useful and enlightening as I do.PS: before it comes up, all the LLM usage for the project is documented[6] and used as warning system in every PR but I think there&#x27;s a lot more I can do to further reduce it[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49192566">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49192566</a>[2]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;olivierlacan&#x2F;indigene" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;olivierlacan&#x2F;indigene</a>[3]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;indigene.app&#x2F;release-notes&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;indigene.app&#x2F;release-notes&#x2F;</a>[4]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;indigene.app&#x2F;guide&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;indigene.app&#x2F;guide&#x2F;</a>[5]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;constantvariable.net&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2026&#x2F;indigene-native-plants&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;constantvariable.net&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2026&#x2F;indigene-native-plant...</a>[6]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;indigene.app&#x2F;llm&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;indigene.app&#x2F;llm&#x2F;</a>

My friend and I are huge Neovim nerds. We like to rice our terminals and our editors. We just wanted a harness that we can do the same with, rice it till our hearts&#x27; desire. So, we started looking out for harnesses. Pi was great, Pi was good. But in the end, it was JavaScript. I don&#x27;t have anything against JavaScript, but Lua is more fitting, and I can just as easily base it in Rust to make it even faster. So, we started cooking, and we ended up with a design that&#x27;s minimal at its core and is built using Lua. Every built-in abstraction, the way you define providers, the way you rice it up, everything, literally everything, you can do in Lua.But how? How does it all work? I proposed we just do it the Ratatui way, but my friend was like, nah! We shall make it possible to build TUIs in Lua. (Weirdo!) But it paid off, and we got ourselves a shiny new Lua library, ito!!!He didn&#x27;t get the gravity of the situation. We had an awesome terminal UI library in Lua! I wanted everyone to know how cool that is, so I got cooking, wrote myself a custom canvas implementation of this library instead of the usual terminal adaptor, exported it as wasm, and made this super cool website where you can experiment building awesome UIs in Lua. For vibe-coders, we got an llms.txt too. Have at it, and see if you can build something really cool with it. The library&#x27;s at github.com&#x2F;uji-labs&#x2F;ito, and the awesome sauce harness is at github.com&#x2F;uji-labs&#x2F;uji.I hope you like it!

Infinite inboxes, including prefixes where you don&#x27;t have to create inboxes before you use them -- they self create when you add a suffix.Three types of inboxes:
- One sender. Locks to the first domain to send email (except gmail, outlook, etc where it locks to an email account for obivous reasons. It bounces everyone else.
- Temporary. Lasts for a while (24h, 7days, etc) then bounces. Received messages stay or go as per your choice.
- Prefix. The most powerful. Declare a prefix like &quot;service&quot; and then invent any suffix, like &quot;service-netflix&quot; or &quot;service$bank&quot; and it creates a new one-sender inbox locked to whoever wrote first.Bring you own domain. Bring your own AI (MCP server ready). Forwarding.Please help me test it.
