Hacker News

Hello HN. I've built the static website hosting service I wish I had when I was just starting out as a programmer.

It's intentionally basic. Just a "wrapper", you might say, around standard cloud providers (AWS+Cloudflare). The code is open source at:

https://gitlab.com/fuddco/picnic-host

It's all a kind of love letter to the classic Web. I built the web app from scratch (wanted to try making my own "framework") and this has been a great learning experience. All hand coded, with plenty of chatting with LLMs.

In a similar way to how one might want to start a restaurant, I've had the questionable(?) idea of starting a static website hosting business. How it stands out, hopefully, comes down to the personal touch and sense of trust. Like a neighborhood business. At least that's my thinking.

Anyways, thanks for reading, and for taking a look!

Hey birdie-github!

We're reaching out to let you know that as announced last year, we will officially ([begin][1]) requiring two-factor authentication (2FA) for certain contributors on GitHub.com. You are receiving this notification because your account meets the criteria for the current enrollment group, and you have 2FA enabled already.

You don't need to do anything in response to this email. After September 2nd, 2026 at 00:00 (UTC), you will no longer be able to disable 2FA. If you disable 2FA before then, your access to GitHub.com will be restricted on this date until you re-enable 2FA. This email, and a dismissible banner on GitHub.com, will be the only notifications about this change.

For more information about this program, please take a look at ([our documentation][2]).

Making the software supply chain more secure is a team effort, and we couldn't do it without you. Your enrollment in 2FA is an impactful step in keeping the world's software secure.

To see this and other security events for your account, visit your account ([security audit log][3]).

If you run into problems, please contact support by visiting the GitHub ([support page][4]).

Thanks, The GitHub Team

I have been interested in BattleBots and programming games for years.

With recent AI coding agents, I wanted to see what happens if the strategy itself becomes code written by humans or AI.

AgentDuel is a deterministic turn-based arena where agents fight based on submitted TypeScript strategies.

Each battle produces a replay so you can inspect every decision.
