I really loved Kagi and was a paid customer for close to two years. But sadly this year I wont be renewing my plan.

Kagi made search feel just “right” it was simple, got the job done and had some really simple but cool search features.

But over time they started doing way too much, and I kept seeing more and more features that I really didn't want. It felt like I was paying for all this while I just wanted to type something on to a text box and click search and see a bunch of results organized according to my filters.

I wish they would just dump all the other nonsense projects like ai and just focus on search only. Or give me an option to pay for search only without any limits.

You should try the Coke made in Mexico. Easiest way I find it is by searching for “Mexico coke” on uber eats or something similar.

Most stores carrying products made in Mexico have it.

Every time I see something about windows7 coming up, I feel a little sad. 7 imo was the last good windows ms came up with. I remember upgrading to it was something worth bragging to your friends in school. There was so much excitement around it. After 7, something felt, broken, new features felt unnecessary, things got more user hostile, the magic, it was just gone!

At first I read it as "Cockroaches".

Looks like a global outage. Was asking Grok to help me fine tune a sourdough bread recipe, and it got stuck halfway. Guess we are back to regular ol sourdough today.

So... hertz for Jaguars?

What thread has Elon lost really? When Elon bought twitter there was a huge wave of people and the media telling us it was over in 6 months, when Elon fired staff they told us X would go down forever in a few months.

Under Elon imo X has gotten a lot better, I see more content that relates to me and has since found myself using X more than all the other social media platforms combined.

Blocking content makes no sense on a platform like X, if you block me and I still want to read your posts all I have to do is to make another account and read them. This just gets rid of the friction. If I block someone I just don't want to interact with them, I still want them to see me and my friends have fun.

There an old "how things are made" video on yt that explains this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CqT4DuAVxs

This looks very useful. I did not know this. Thank you!

No need to remember server IPs

On your local machine under ~/.ssh/config you can add something like

#PERSONAL

Host vpn-us

    HostName 1.2.3.4

    User my_fun_username

    Port 1212

ssh vpn-us

(above is the same as the following command --> ssh my_fun_username@1.2.3.4 -p1212)

Pretty much this. And,

4. Not MS.

One of my favorite things about using vim as my main IDE is, I can run it on a linux server. My work has me moving around the country. I program on a vim instance running on a remote server. I just need to carry a tiny laptop around.

I usually get an okay ping(<100ms) and if its unacceptable (overseas travel) I change the vm location. Depending on what I am working on I can increase or decrease resources and since things I program usually end up running on ubuntu servers it feels right at home.

edit- Incase anyone is wondering, I actually started doing this since one of my laptops once got lost while traveling. Airline did find mybag later, but the two weeks without it drove me crazy. Now, if I want I can just show up anywhere get a fresh laptop load up my ssh keys and im all set lol.

He should patent the idea and block anyone else from attempting this.

Love the idea. Only issue I had with was the $$$ bit, it's not clear what I am looking at. Think there should be an option to see a approximate ranges in $ for the trips.

If I am using a site like this, I would want to quickly scan a $ range and then see if there's anything I like in there.

Again, love the idea and congrats on shipping. Bookmarked will be visiting again :)

Convenience. Setting it up, maintaining it, cost, audience reach. Lots of reasons.

When I search it says this is a chapter 11 bankruptcy, and it says that means its a restructuring. What does this really mean? So can we see we work come back again ? Or is we work as we know it never going to come back?

He mentions he was born in 1989, so it makes sense to talk about pre internet. Till the mid 2000s the internet was not this available. Growing up we didn't have ADSL till around 2004-2005. And even then it was 512mb/s. Yes the internet was invented a long while before that, pre-internet in this context makes sense to me as time before the internet existed this widely, and at these speeds.

Question for the networking folk here. How can the rest of us help move things over to ipv6?

wow! I didn't know how badly I wanted this. Thanks!

A better alternative that doesn't annoy your loved ones would be, to connect your phone to a smart watch.

Keep the phone on silent enable notifications on the watch. You get to keep an eye out for anything important while being away from the phone takes a bit of effort to reply immediately.

Im using an older garmin watch and it works perfectly, it even has a silent zone setting so I never get disturbed when I sleep. Also has a really neat feature where I can ask the watch to ping my phone if I cant find it, so when I get an important message and I need to find the phone I could quickly find it.

I used to have trouble going to get my hair cut after a barber clipped my ear with a blade.

Whenever I go to a new city what I do is, I read up a ton of reviews from multiple sources and find a few barbers I think ill like. Then I go for a quick trim to understand how comfortable I feel around them (this is the hardest part, I usually explain to them about my anxiety before I make a booking except for one instance everyone is really understanding usually), I have been lucky enough to find someone good after trying 2-3 barbers.

My current barber is an awesome older gentleman from Iran who migrated to the same city as I am, knows my exact haircut I want, so all I have to do is show up on time and get a great stress free haircut, and get to hear some really interesting story from him. lol if I go out of the city for a while, I wont mind looking like an escaped lunatic for a few days extra until I come back home.

To the folk who dismiss this as “just another hedge fund manager who stand to win if everyone fails”

Why do you think this event or any other kind of big economic downturn is unlikely to happen?

I an part of the former. I do miss it. Glad to see there’s more people who are doing this. You shouldn’t be allowed to treat your community this way and get away with it.

Yep. W3schools is one of those sites that helped me begin my career. I still find it useful to look up something in a hurry. No idea why so many people hate it.

One of the main reasons I don’t mind paying for kagi is my absolute hate for pinterest.

Haiyoo, what kind of person are you when even in death you can't give back to earth the body you borrowed.

curl is a very powerful tool.

Just saying, some of these sites don't have captcha or any kind of spam prevention implemented. Something something simple shell script feed them garbage data something.

return to the expectation that there is an "IT guy in the family" to help set up phones and computers for others to use.

Definitely this. This is the only way to make-sure people around us are protected. If enough tech people do this, we will have a better tech ecosystem for all of us.
