I highly recommend turning off watch history on YouTube. it stops recommending you videos entirely; just watch what you subscribe to

I have a dedicated Chrome profile/account for watching videos that I don't want infecting my primary account's recommendations. Right click, "Open link as".

I was looking for a way to index a JSON column that contains a JSON array, like a list of tags. AFAIK this method won't work for that; you'll either need to use FTS or a separate "tag" table that you index.

MCP is just a protocol - how could it not remain open source? It's literally just JSON-RPC. Implementations are what are open source or not.

Fair enough, I'll temper the rhetoric.

It still seems you can make the front page posting these words as long as they're externally hosted. Or maybe it's the fact Anil is a bit of a celebrity:

Hey man, there's a world of difference between what's essentially a tweet (HN comment) and an article.

If you wanna make charged statements, at the very least substantiate them. (To be clear: I don't necessarily disagree with you, but you gotta admit your language is emotionally laden and lacks substance.)

Here's a Reuters report from June 2, which includes a link to a May 14 SEC filing:

> Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase knew as far back as January about a customer data leak at an outsourcing company connected to a larger breach estimated to cost up to $400 million, six people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulat...

> On May 11, 2025, Coinbase, Inc., a subsidiary of Coinbase Global, Inc. (“Coinbase” or the “Company”), received an email communication from an unknown threat actor claiming to have obtained information about certain Coinbase customer accounts, as well as internal Coinbase documentation, including materials relating to customer-service and account-management systems.

I am now on the hunt for a non vibe coded alternative. I stopped open sourcing code after all my open code's licenses were broken by Microsoft and everyone else commercialising it. Which I guess is part of the point of why they did it and have put serious money to defending themselves in court against anyone that dare challenge it. Suffice to say I don't want anything to do with projects that participated in that theft and re-commercialisation of open source code.

Does not look like the original Keepass project is doing this which is the easiest migration away but I will check a bit deeper on their commits to be sure.

The original Keepass project has 11 CVEs. XC has 3, and has disputed all of them with e.g. "the vendor disputes this because memory-management constraints make this unavoidable in the current design and other realistic designs", etc.

Y'know how there's "security theater"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_theater

I think there's an analogous subset: "llm-security theater".

There's so much pearl-clutching, pedantry, and noise from people who are obviously 1) not contributing to KeePassXC AND 2) never would contribute AND 3) are unaware of EXISTING bugs/issues/CVEs with KeePassXC. All they provide are vague abstract arguments from their own experience with LLMs, and they argue with the maintainers of KeyPassXC without giving specifics, as though they have the right to tell others how to run their repo when they're unable to link a single concrete problematic issue or PR.

Instead, all they have are "vibes", which is ironic.
