Fixed IP would be a way to go. Some people pick dynamic dns server so they can periodically update if their IP changes. But IMO it's just too complicated. I don't think there's a good way to go around ISP restrictions, especially in USA.

I host my site on my own home server, but I do have a proxy ec2 server to tunnel public traffic via wireguard back to my home server. This keeps things a bit more protected and my router/home network not directly exposed. I'm also not locked into AWS, I just use them for convenience, but could get any other cheap proxy to run wireguard. No dependency on tailscale either, it's just nicer interface to wireguard. Wireguard config is like 5 lines btw.

This will get worse with new generations. They grow up on tables and phones where file system is a completely foreign concept. You need an app for everything.

This is great! Thanks for the detailed write up and suggestions to improve. Like I said, this is my first time doing it and I have no background in EE or PCB design. If I make something else I'll give your suggestions a try.

It's so funny that you had a similar idea. Are you an electrical engineer or swe? What are you building these days?

I was actually very surprised myself. As I mentioned in the post, I don't do that type of work so it's all new to me. This got me also interested in CAD. You can design parts and don't need to own the 3d printer, could just get parts manufactured online.

I hope that open models will dominate. The difficult part to reconcile for me is the amount of compute that's required to create and run such models. Small models are fine, I run local llms 27b param on a gpu, but it's not even close to frontier in capability. Who wants to drop $40k+ on hardware to run these things. Companies, maybe/perhapts. On the other hand, to run a DB I can get a server for $3k and handle tons of traffic on it and other things too.

This is great IMO. I like zig as a language and the idea behind it. But boy, it has a syntax issue. I with they figure out better syntax before 1.0, developer ergonomics I think are as important.

for those who are into books i'd recommend taking a look at alphago simplified by mark liu. It has rule based strategies + DL for connect for and other simple games.

https://vilkeliskis.com/ - rebooting as of recently to a self-hosted solution from under my desk.

Btw, https://nownownow.com/ is a great place to discover people. This project is somewhat similar to what you're doing.

I'm thinking about trying something similar to this on top of AWS SES. They make it fairly trivial to accept email and store it to S3. So email forwarding would be straight to S3 backup. But still would need a system to backup these emails to some local storage.

Not sure what's the best way to handle this, I had my gmail account since the early days and it's baked into so many important accounts. It definitely crosses my mind what it'd be really difficult if I were blocked out somehow.

i've been ~15 years in the tech industry, working as swe. I recently purchased 15 books on from proofs, calculus, linear algebra, real analysis combinatorics, diff equations to self-study math. Yes, you almost never need to use anything beyond basic math, but there's so many things to learn. And math is fun, I miss my university days.

I don't understand. I don't even know what exercism is.

You created a site that has 2 million users and don't know how to monetize? Just charge people $5 a month to use. It will solve all your problems.

you can easily run 8b yi coder on 4090 rtx. Probably could do on a smaller gpu (16GB). I have 24gb, and run it through ollama.

great. rtx 4090 works out of the box after installing drivers from non-free. That's on debian bookworm.

They ship it straight from lithuania. I got one recently myself. Made it Lithuania also.

Then use this device to make Kugelis.

I get 4-pack espresso from sams for $10 that lasts me a month. I stopped getting "lattes" and other fancy stuff long time ago.

Exactly! I like being able to log in to any server and use vim/vi without any issues.

I've noticed similar pattern with other tools, e.g. git. I've seen coworkers add all kinds off aliases to simplify git commands, and I'm very much against it since I prefer portability.

It's been a while since I started using vim. I can see some similarities. Though, I didn't really do much configuration in the early days. Currently, I have pretty much no configs when it comes to key maps or some custom or shortcuts. I only add plugins for code completion and highlighting. Nothing else.

I've been using arch for the past several years. Decided to get it installed after buying a new desktop. Overall it's good (and I've used it before), I have very simple setup and I don't really need much. Just dev tools.

The issue I'm having is (I think) hardware related. I'm a bit afraid to update systemd since by doing it several times before I got a kernel crash during install which left the system in an odd place. requiring me to boot up from usb to correct the installation. I can deal with it, but this is not something I particularly enjoy. I currently have almost 2GB of pending updates because of this, which I think defeats the purpose of rolling release distro.

I was actually thinking about trying out some other distros, maybe debian. With hopes that it will fix the kernel crashes. Another thought that I had, was to switch to FreeBSD, the only thing currently preventing me is the lack of Docker.

A better equivalent in Go is https://github.com/kyleconroy/sqlc

I'm not necessarily talking about the TLD. This is more like a "service" that's controlled by google and certain rules are enforced to those who hold the domain.

This makes very little sense to me. I get that it's nice to have a short domain that points to some action. But why do you need a completely separate namespace for this?

Why do we need this?

Shameless plug, but check out my tool for managing OKRs outside of spreadsheets if this is something you're looking for https://simpleokr.com

True. I've worked at several companies where OKRs were implemented and I find it valuable. Everyone does them differently. People still have trouble understanding and implementing them.

To address some of the pain points with OKRs I started building my own saas about a year ago https://simpleokr.com

Haven't looked very closely, but how do you think they make money by offering virtual credit cards for free? I bet they will track all your purchases and resell them for marketing later.

Fonts and other stuff from google and facebook is just a small piece of the puzzle.

What alternatives do you have in mind? I was thinking the same, but haven't done much research yet. I definitely want to have more control over my passwords.

Why do we need this again? Who are your competitors? Twitter, Slack?

I see very little value in this tool, all this is going to become is another place to vault all your data behind proprietary protocol.

Agreed. This is so ridiculous. I saw the link on the front page. Now it's gone. At least it exists in search results.

Not sure what to think of this. Smells like FOMO. I looked at their roadmap and they're planning to support so many different architectures. Adding EVM support seems like adding more complexity to the project just because blockchain.

I think something like this is needed for programming on blockchain, but I'd prefer to see a dedicated project instead.

Hi! I'm the author of bluebook. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this idea, and any suggestions or improvements you may have.
