Show HN: I created an Image generator SaaS in 2 days

Hacker News - Fri, 04/25/2025 - 4:40pm

Hi everyone, Akhlas here. This is my first shot at launching something that I made and would not stop doing this even if I get a million.

I am definitely open to get good constructive criticism.

I know this is not the most innovative thing but it's a thing that works. This is a stepping stone for me to start something.

Let me know if you need free credits to try it out.

Thanks for the read!

Looking for Feedback for Server Security

Hacker News - Fri, 04/25/2025 - 4:39pm

Last time I bought a large number of servers new, it was 2012. Everyone knew IPMI(iLo, idrac, supermicro's variant) was unsecure, rarely updated, and rife with vulnerabilities. People lamented the fact, and then shrugged and bought.

It's 2025, and I'm wondering if people have a different impression from some vendors. I used to love Supermicro, but:

* I cannot even get a response via email or calls re: sales

* Their website tells you to never upload the bios or bmc unless you "have a problem", and tries to claim no liability. Hello?! I need microcode updates, and other bios updates (yes I know about OS microcode updates, not my point), as well as IPMI updates

* They have no list of EOL support timeranges for any of their products. I need to know how long IPMI and other products are supported for security issues.

* They still seem to have ridiculous LAN sharing of IPMI, which means that even if you set their IPMI to use the dedicated NIC, and setup an isolated network, a loss of defaults means your IPMI is now no longer on that network but sharing the NIC on your main network. And in the past, I've seen this happen regardless of settings (buggy).

Dumbest setup ever, exceptionally unsecure, and they're still doing it?!

* If their sales channel doesn't respond, then their support channel will be 10x more lagged. Every sane company ensures you have enough resources to sell new product.

Are other vendors this bad too?

Has anyone noticed regular security updates for Dell or HP or other competitors?

Thanks

Ask HN: Do you find it hard to work on something without international reach?

Hacker News - Fri, 04/25/2025 - 4:33pm

For example, you might find it hard to do home maintenance unless of course you are a YouTuber and your home is visible in your videos.

Ask HN: Are your benchmarks statistically valid?

Hacker News - Fri, 04/25/2025 - 4:30pm

It appears that some benchmarking tools provide average or percentile values but no information about statistical validity of the result. What did you observe or do in your career?
