Ask HN: How to handle user file uploads?
In my project[1], I convert all user-uploaded images to high-quality webp and store them like that. I discard the original files after the conversion. I use imgproxy[2] to further resize and convert them on the fly for actual display.
I don't do videos yet, but I'm kinda terrified of the idea of putting user-uploaded files through ffmpeg if/when I'll support them.

Why is no one making a new version of old Facebook?
They do, or rather not old Facebook, but old VK: https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen
As a bonus it's an ActivityPub enabled application, so any specific instance of it requires less work to get the network effect going. :)

Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen
A Facebook-style ActivityPub server. Has wall posts, groups, and events.
Not yet "ready" — 1.0 would need much better moderation tools, photo albums (with tagging), discussion boards (in groups), and a client API. Direct messages are a work in progress right now.
I myself use it daily for my participation in the fediverse.

VSCode config to disable annoyances – telemetry, notifications, welcome pages
Unfortunately I don't think it fits any of the projects I work on (and I don't use VSCode to begin with, never had it installed, bit I do see an IntelliJ plugin as well).
I have one project that's a server application (https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen), but since it uses lots of custom stuff on top of the Spark micro-framework, your plugin would probably not work on it. I imagine it does expect projects to be structured idiomatically for the framework they use, at least to some degree. Spark also doesn't know anything about databases, so that is all custom as well. Oh and I also hacked it a bit with reflection to allow streaming responses.

Meta selling new “Meta Verified” blue badge for $12-15/month
I'm building a fediverse project that aims to fill this exact niche. It's basically a recreation of an early-ish version of VKontakte (Russian Facebook) but federated. It's not really ready yet, and there are lots of important features missing, but I do use it daily for my primary fediverse account.
I, too, am sick of all the existing social media companies trying their damnest to cater to the entertainment use case no one ever asked for.

Misskey: An Interplanetary Microblogging Platform
I'm building an ActivityPub thing of my own: https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen
It's not quite ready for mainstream use just yet, but I'm getting there. The next update will improve moderation tools by a lot. One after that will, at last, add private messages.

Ask HN: Who is working on fully decentralized social networking?
I know of Smithereen[1] that is an attempt at a full fledged social network similar to VK on top of the ActivityPub vocabulary.

Ask HN: What rabbit hole(s) did you dive into recently?
I've been doing some modernization on an old scripting language used by the game engine I work on [1]. Added a garbage collector, simplified how internal symbols are defined, added a VS code extension with some niceties like syntax highlighting, "Go to Definition", and doc tooltips. Also recently added support for websockets and plan to tackle JSON soon.

Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
Developing a new website for the open source game engine I work on. Nearly finished with it.
https://zquestclassic.com
It's a Zelda-like game engine with some 1000ish games made in it over 20 years. Used to be called Zelda Classic, but we renamed it this year.

A forum engine written in Assembly
Thanks, that was a silly oversight. Your comment is appreciated, as it saved an instruction in my game engine's JIT compilation :)

Show HN: Using C++23 <stacktrace> to get proper crash logs in C++ programs
I found Sentry's crash reporting (which uses crashpad) simple enough to configure into an existing CMake build within an afternoon.
Building Sentry/crashpad from source in a few lines of CMake: https://github.com/ArmageddonGames/ZQuestClassic/commit/3471...
And a few lines in the main function: https://github.com/ArmageddonGames/ZQuestClassic/commit/3471...

Ask HN: Examples of desktop software with 20+ years of longevity?
My hobby is working on a 20+ year game engine. Still occasionally delete DOS-only code in it. https://github.com/ArmageddonGames/ZQuestClassic

MSVC: The Devourer of Const
```
The `Hero.{x,y}` properties here are a custom fixed precision number class with some implicit conversions to int, which I suspect being relevant to the crash.

Ccache – a fast C/C++ compiler cache
https://github.com/ArmageddonGames/ZQuestClassic/commit/641d...
Using it locally too, works great on Mac, but on Windows ccache has some problems caching debug builds. IIRC the embedded debug symbols use absolute paths, so the presence of this particular flag (/Z something...) disables cache eligibility.
