Yah ignore this guy. This app is awesome and how I develop side projects is vastly different than boring corporate shit. Party on brother

So is this just like a network tunnel but for iMessage? Does the daemon on the laptop need to be running while I am gone?

I assume you proxy through the stella number and it just routes to the daemon over a little tunnel?

Literally this is the best show I’ve ever seen. If I’m ever burnt out at work I rewatch it

Sure but let’s have checks and balances against our government poorly handling sensitive documents.

That’s a lot of places to live. Moving to the UK from the US for me was already mentally draining logistically so curious how you balance that

Ansible, git ops, actually testing it out. Backups with snapshots using restic, encrypted secrets using vault.

Easy to use a local proxy to use other models with CC. Wrote a basic working one using Claude. LiteLLM is also good. But I agree, fuck their mindset

Care to share an example of cloudflare impacting you from this to date? CEO is a lawyer and feel like they adhere to their principles pretty firmly. Just check the latest in Italy

Beautiful diagram. Is this just SVG or?

Nice article, been playing with ClickHouse a bit and really like it.

Unrelated - how well do articles like this work for driving signups to your product/platform?

I don’t think you need a box of any kind. Just tunnel into a server that is in the location you want it to be in and proxy traffic through that?

Haha ah man that’s funny and also depressing. I miss the Web 2.0 icons. Really made me feel like I wanted to create something. Now it’s just flat corporate garbage

Awesome! Looking forward to that post

damn, whalesalad.. I was really inspired by your blog and designs when I was a little kid. I remember how satisfying that Tasty WP theme was. Miss those web 2.0 days. Cheers Michael!

Read the book Distributed Services in Go. You implement a complex micro service oriented commit log like Kafka. The code is beautiful and the author created Kafka.

Yes. It’s copyright in the same way.

Go is fantastic and also has a native UI framework called Wails. Not connected to the standard lib, but I believe it started in Google

it’s mostly porn! I was researching some DHT crawler work recently and came across some interesting papers. Here’s a super fun high level read on someone who crawled the BitTorrent distributed hash table using a Sybil attack:

Definitely don’t sign up for Hulu then. Even worse

Not a book but check out jvns.ca for some inspiration.

I read this book years ago and was interested in rereading. Any good JS books you would recommend for modern day that would be just as good?

“Oopsies, I can’t find what you’re looking for” with a 404 in the response header versus

“404 not found” with a 404 in the response header seems pretty reasonable to me.

If they deviate from standards, sure.

Neat gadget/site! I think people have concerns around value proposition when you sell the box for hundreds of dollars and say it's good to host a Ghost blog on.

I would probably advertise something bigger because FWIW I host a blog on a $5 pi fronted by Cloudflare (free).

These look really nice and clean though, wish you the best!

I agree and I remember those days. However, I think there is a distinction between browser improvements vs web usability.

I’m moreso talking about _how_ people design sites for the web and how poor design choices lead to poor usability. I think the proliferation of tools that require not too much in-depth knowledge (react), heavy CSS frameworks and large client side JS libs have ruined a lot of the web surfing I used to enjoy

I always wonder what specifically marked the turning point for web usability. Too many dark UX patterns, popups, ads and extremely heavy frameworks for extremely simple sites.

I feel that we got to a point where the community put out a couple recipes for deploying websites and everyone just jumped on it irrespective of the problem, mimicked the same patterns (email newsletter popups, ads, google analytics, 30 million external assets, etc) and called it a day.

While I think your opinion is a bit extreme, I agree that there are so many things that we don’t need, but companies are hiring and new devs are copying the recipes.

not sure if you’re just referring to the network itself, but Meta has done a ton of innovation. React, PyTorch, Jest, RocksDB, etc etc.

As an app though, no clue. Haven’t had a Facebook account for 6-7 years. Feel like people just have such a poor view of social media now that they are on a downward spiral. Lots of smart people there though, hopefully we can move away from social media and focus on social welfare.

LOL. Nice to know the journalism quality barometer over at “The Science Times” is ok linking memes unknowingly.

If I was in your situation, probably not. We use it a lot at work, so it’s a playground to grow my skills and play around while doubling as a painless way to host anything.

All in all, I still think docker, docker compose and nginx is the way to go for hobbyist stuff. I doubt my ISP would let me host anything at a huge scale off my home router anyways.

I’ve been working on a Kubernetes cluster for my home network. I know a lot of people hate on Kubernetes, but it’s pretty cool and not too bad to even get started from scratch with Kubeadm.

I think the constant thought in the back of my mind is… Docker containers and Nginx is definitely enough for my needs. At work, it’s a different story, but more most things, it can be over kill.
