Seabird 0.1 2 years ago

There is no payment option yet, it's going to come later. Just wanted to be as transparent as possible from the start. Winrar is actually the inspiration for this model, hoping it'll work better than asking for donations.

I built this as a replacement for Lens since I have some long standing issues with it. Lens also went fully proprietary recently, and this is one piece of software I think needs to be open.

Seabird is MPLv2 licensed with no CLA. The UI uses GTK and code is written in Go, so it should be familiar to Kubernetes devs. There are builds for all major platforms, although GTK on Windows is noticeably slower to render (help wanted). Let me know if you have any questions or feedback.

The piece was meant as a brief behind-the-scenes look for people hesitant to adopt K8s, sorry if the title is misleading. I'm not the best writer, but working to improve.

We are of course cheaper, but paying for Plausible also supports their development. The choice is yours. ;)

Note that Plausible is not available on our lowest plan, the dependency on Clickhouse makes that not economical for us. Sharing Clickhouse instances to bring the cost down is something we might look into in the future.

No real benefit, but we do also offer other apps. And I know there's an ethical component here, where we might poach customers from the FOSS project's own managed hosting. That's not why I built Cloudplane, quite the opposite; the intention is to support FOSS sustainability by reinvesting parts of our revenue into the ecosystem.

I worked on this for over a year, and last week we've finally launched. I'm the type of person that loved self-hosting, but always thought server management was broken. Declarative infrastructure was part of the solution, but tools like Terraform didn't go far enough. Then I got into Kubernetes, and realized that it takes the declarative model to a whole new level. Cloudplane is built entirely on Kubernetes, and I already released a few blog posts on the technology behind it, such as CUE for templating.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Software development is a much better experience on Linux compared to Windows (unless you stay within Visual Studio).

If you do tasks that are well supported by your OS, your experience will be mostly good. Don't run servers on MacOS, don't develop on Windows and don't game on Linux. Or do it anyway and deal with the unpolished aspects of it.

I've found that Go is not elegant enough for me and Rust is too difficult to write (I started using Rust in 2015 and after years of trying I eventually realized Rust doesn't make sense for most apps), so I'm all in on Crystal. Despite not having much prior Ruby experience, I absolutely love the language.

When I say BSD doesn't support Flatpak, I mean literal Flatpak. I want to go to Flathub and install any piece of software. Yes, not possible because BSD is not Linux, but as a user I don't care. Flatpak has solved packaging and installing software across distros, and I'm not willing to give it up.

The number one feature of Kubernetes is that you can extend it, there are almost no limits to what you can do in Kubernetes, it's a platform for platforms. Nomad doesn't compare. Your enthusiasm about ZFS is roughly how I feel about Kubernetes, and why "traditional" approaches seem pretty backwards to me now. ;)

I have tried FreeBSD and OpenBSD on the desktop a couple years back, but for a while now I've felt that they're becoming irrelevant.

* No Bluetooth support on OpenBSD at all, and it never worked on FreeBSD for me. Linux used to have issues with some devices, but it has gotten much, much better over the recent years (or devices have gotten better).

* Wifi on Linux mostly works out of the box nowadays (with the exception of some Broadcom chips, but even they are getting better). Completely different story on the BSDs, while they have decent support for some vendors like Intel, they take quite a while to support new hardware.

* Gaming is not really a thing on BSD.

* Container tech like Kubernetes and Flatpak does not work on the BSDs.

While Linux has taken a long time to catch up to Windows (and still isn't there yet in some areas), I feel like the BSDs lack the manpower or interest to even keep pace with the world around them. Not only are things not getting better, they are getting worse.

Really only Fedora has shipped Wayland by default for five years, and they do this with a lot of other tech as well (GNOME 3 and Cgroups v2 to name some more). If there is no user demand, nobody wants to do the work of supporting new technology, which is why Fedora releases things before they are ready. Anyone using Fedora should know this.

fighting polarization starts with treating people you disagree with as fellow citizens and human beings

So what if those people think you're subhuman and want you dead? This is the kind of talk that happens on these platforms every single day. You've just had a violent insurgence on your capitol and you still think the solution is to ask these people to be nice? It's CLEARLY not working, and it's time for social media to rid themselves of open calls for violence and the conspiracy theories that fuel them.

People on the left have also been suspended for similar issues, and rightly so. If your movement cannot remain on a platform without adhering to a policy as simple as "do not threaten violence", then your ideology has a fundamental problem and deserves to be banned to the fringes of the net.

RHEL also means Fedora and CentOS, the latter is extremely popular for large scale deployments. The article is for web servers only, I think the real market share of RHEL and CentOS is more like 30-40%.

Podman just makes more sense because it doesn't require a big fat daemon. You launch containers like any other service: with systemd. And you can run podman without root permissions as well, which is a huge win for security.

I built a complete mobile app using jQuery mobile and it was a total disaster as well. I had so many ugly hacks in place just to achieve what any decent SPA framework does out of the box nowadays. To this day I have no idea what the actual purpose of jQuery mobile was, it sucked for single page apps and felt more like a quick way to make HTML pages responsive. Which can of course be achieved with a bit of CSS or one of the many responsive CSS frameworks.

Thankfully the app never made it to production, for various non-technical reasons.

TDLR: Email providers on the German market were asked by the Bundesnetzagentur (bascially the German FCC) to register as a public telecommunications provider as required by the law. FastMail cannot say wheter they will be able to come to an agreement with the Bundesnetzagentur and therefore disabled signup for German IPs and also removed the mobile app from the (German) App Store and Google Play.

VLC on Android supports opus. Unfortunately, most other players don't (I think this is a actually a bug in the Android media scanning library and not the players themselves though)
