Brain Dump is a personal blog at geoff.tuxpup.com about programming and web. Since 2020, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 8 times, most often “Dj-Notebook: The REPL I've Always Wanted for Django”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-03-23, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Commenters link these posts as their own write-ups: a Caddy and WireGuard setup, a sourcehut feature that creates repos on push, and hosting a password manager. The writing itself is not judged.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionI don't have a problem using the UI on mobile. And it looks nice IMO. And the ability to create a repo on their site by just pushing to a remote with the right name[1] has really made it easier for me to use their service. What do you find confusing and poor about the UI? I find it straightforward and efficient. [1]( https://geoff.tuxpup.com/posts/cool_sr_ht_feature/ )

HN discussionThis was my answer to that: https://geoff.tuxpup.com/posts/caddy_and_wireguard/ I never got 'round to writing up the bitwarden specifics, but it covers the path I negotiated between hosting it somewhere else and exposing it to the world.
