The Brutalist Report

Launched a new side companion to The Brutalist Report. A large opinionated live streaming board of all news that hits the platform: brutalist.mov Works well on a background monitor!

@caddyserver Any chance you can update the Copr Repo?

Caddy 2.11.3 is now available! This comes with a lot of bug fixes and some security patches, and some other minor enhancements. Everyone should test and upgrade. Thank you to all who contributed! github.com/caddyserver/ca…

@kepano I really want to thank you for making Defuddle open source. It’s an incredible library and such a useful tool. And Obsidian Web Clipper as well has just the perfect amount of customizability for power users. It’s all super refreshing. Thank you!

Interactive transcripts are part of Obsidian Web Clipper 1.4 The update is now available on Chrome and Safari. Firefox is a bit slower to approve updates. obsidian.md/clipper

I can't go back to the regular YouTube UI after this 😅 Obsidian Reader now makes the transcript interactive so you can scrub, highlight, auto-scroll. It feels so nice.

@steipete We've been here for awhile now in stark contrast to the madness: brutalist.report

@karpathy I'd recommend giving brutalist.report a try.

Finding myself going back to RSS/Atom feeds a lot more recently. There's a lot more higher quality longform and a lot less slop intended to provoke. Any product that happens to look a bit different today but that has fundamentally the same incentive structures will eventually converge to the same black hole at the center of gravity well. We should bring back RSS - it's open, pervasive, hackable. Download a client, e.g. NetNewsWire (or vibe code one) Cold start: example of getting off the ground, here is a list of 92 RSS feeds of blogs that were most popular on HN in 2025: gist.github.com/emschwartz/e6d… Works great and you will lose a lot fewer brain cells. I don't know, something has to change.

@dhh While each platform does bring unique and delightful traits to the table, I really think you're putting blinders on here with regard to the vast difference in privacy and data collection with these other services.

@caddyserver Thanks for the release! Can you also kick off the build to the COPR repo for Red Hat users? (copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/caddy/…)

Caddy v2.7.5 is now available! We fixed minor bugs and annoyances, and (as usual) upgraded to the latest Go version, so HTTP/2 Rapid Reset is also patched. Download it now: github.com/caddyserver/ca…

Launched to the public (via HN): news.ycombinator.com/item?id=304307… It's interesting to see how polarizing some of the views on this are!
