Very curious about this as well. I've seen articles[1] that suggest that you canis engage in passive work, which includes activities such as:

- Conducting market research and customer discovery

- Discussing planned investments and purchases with prospective co-founders

- Attending and participating in business meetings

- Developing business relationships, such as meeting with investors and clients

- Negotiating contracts

- Incorporating a US company, applying for an EIN, establishing a mailing address, and applying for a business license

- Act as a passive shareholder or investor

However, my attempt to find the specific regulations or uscis policy memorandums that state these failed so I'm unsure.

Been looking at these tools and honestly, my big issue is backup - specifically, I want a dead simple way to continuously back up my links to something like S3. Not really interested in relying on the Internet Archive or having to set up and babysit yet another backup system. is it like completely antithetical to the average self-hoster ethos to use the cloud where it makes sense?

I really like hoarder, but kind of surprised how many tools either totally skip over backup functionality or treat it as an afterthought (like this Hoarder issue here: https://github.com/hoarder-app/hoarder/issues/75). Feels like this should be a no-brainer feature, right?

Got it, thanks for the clarification! I’ll be using it for a personal project so that sounds great.

i recently read an article about running k8s on the oracle free tier and was looking to try it. i'm curious, are there any specific pain points that are making you think of switching?

anybody know how the hell they're combating / gonna combat captcha's, cloudflare blocking, etc. I remember playing in this space on a toy project and being utterly frustrated by anti-scraping. Maybe one good thing that will come out of this AI boom is that companies will become nicer to scrapers? Or maybe, they'll just cut sweetheart deals?

According to this (1), they are using the 4o model. And looks like you'll be able to pick your model(2) in the starting with version 1.94 released this September.

I've always found their resources particularly valuable when I really want to go deep on a subject in a way that video courses (my other preferred way to learn) don't seem to always do.

And I think they strike the right balance between academic theory and practice. For example, I'm currently going through their Cyber Security Base https://cybersecuritybase.mooc.fi/descriptions/ and it seems very thorough (i'm not a security or devsecops expert so happy to hear thoughts from those who are)

There's earthly.dev but like previous commenters, I went with dagger because i prefer its Apache 2.0 license over earthly's BSL.

I'm currently on an H1-B and I'm considering exploring a startup idea. My research suggests that I could do a concurrent H1-B but what I'm not so sure about is the prevailing wage. Is it possible to get a concurrent H1-B for say 5 hours a week so that I can actually afford to pay myself as the govt. requires?

thank you!

hey, this sounds silly but I can't seem to find a link of all the languages covered in the 200 hundred languages. I've looked at the website and the blogpost and neither have a readily available link. Seems like a major oversight. There is of course a drop down in both but the languages there are a lot less than 200. I'm particularly interested in a list of the 55 African languages for example.

Thanks for sharing, i think how you handled it was quite compassionate. if i ever run into this situation, i have a playbook.

I'm very curious at to what happened next. How did the conversation go with the dev and did they get to keep their job?

Fortuitous timing! I've actually been tasked to build something that will need semantic search at work. I'll be diving in - thanks!

i'm currently thinking about building something similar - do you mind sharing more about what tech stack you used, esp. how you handled the offline data and syncing?
