You couldn’t use Obsidian sync headless though.

That’s a bit ridiculous, no one is forcing you to interact with his work. I find his articles to be informative source on the practical aspects of LLMs. And clearly other people agree. This is a very meaningless resentment to harbor.

Why does it make him sound like a wanker? That’s a very uncharitable reading for no particular reason.

One of those points is not like the other, Marimo’s feature to deploy a notebook as WASM is a very nice feature imo.

Who are comparable providers in your opinion? Hetzner has KYC and needs ID for you to use their services, I’d rather go with a service that didn’t. Any recommendations?

Curious, what was your process debugging/diagnosing this? How did you reach the conclusion that it was packet congestion?

How do you decide when to reach for Polars vs DuckDB?

Can any SREs tell us how applicable this book is today? Is it still a useful read?

The age-old question, do I strive to learn new tools that are better designed (Xonsh, Nushell, Fish)? Or old tools that are omnipresent (Bash/Posix)?

I like Xonsh, it’s pretty nice to work with, but it makes going back to Bash, when I have to, even more painful.

Quickemu gives me the ability to instantly spin up a full blown VM without fiddling with QEMU configurations, just by telling it what OS I want.

This might be less useful for those who are quite familiar with QEMU, but it’s great for someone like me who isn’t. So this saves me a whole lot more than 2 minutes. And that’s generally what I want from a wrapper: improved UX.

I find NNN and Ranger a lot more ergonomic as a UX, but MC’s virtual file system is so good, the ability browse folders seamlessly whether local, remote, zip, tar, jar in the same interface etc is really useful.

That makes sense.

I guess we’re accustomed to thinking that absence of a file is not “exception-worthy” because it is expected under normal circumstances. But the cases you raised make sense.

Okay..what is the alternative?

I’m curious how you’re integrating it with Sveltekit? Are you using Sveltekit just as a static generator?

I use kitty and neovim too, would you mind sharing how you got this to work?

I’m confused, why would the debugging information file be an executable? These are just debugging symbols, no?

Butane/ignition is the configuration to set up CoreOS (similar to configuration.nix in NixOS) it has nothing to do with Quadlets.

i wish there was a way to do this declaratively, like:

“here is the partition structure i want, here is the filesystem, the users, the packages i need installed and the services i need running”

Setting up machines and customizing installations would be a breeze.

This is literally all I can think about these days. I’m getting paranoid and I want to start my OS from a clean slate and use sandboxing for every project. I spend so much time auditing random scripts and libraries because I run them on my laptop.

But sandboxing options aren’t that great right now. Docker doesn’t cut it because it isn’t a security sandbox, and full blown VMs with vagrant have too much friction and needs lots of resources.

I think this is something where Firecracker (Amazon’s lightweight VM) can really shine. But it needs a better a DevEx to act as a disposable/reusable environment that’s easy to start up, easy to specify dependencies. Maybe something uniting firecracker and nix would be the sweet spot for both isolation and reproducibility.

I’m rambling but it feels like this should be a solved problem, maybe it is and I don’t know where to look.

I’m confused, why would a kernel need to be signed if you don’t actually care about secureboot? If you have a signed GRUB, then UEFI with SB will run it, after which you can use GRUB to launch any kernel, signed or not, right?

One of the most frustrating about this approach is that it feels asymptotic, you’re always approaching but never arriving at a solution. You start seeing diminishing returns on further prompting.

It’s great for scaffolding, but not that great for non-trivial end-to-end projects.

I’m confused on something. What’s the difference between Temporal and something like Dagster/Airflow/Prefect? Is there a difference between ETL and workflows? Or is just branding?

Can I ask what issues or difficulties you faced going the self-hosting route? We’re a small outfit and we’re thinking of self-hosting temporal to save costs, would be interested to hear about your experience.

Do you deploy just the JS to a CDN or a whole website? I wanted to do something similar, throw a static website on a CDN and use a Go API as its backend. But unsure how to get around CORS in a reliable way.

Arab is for people, Arabic is for the language

Even with coolify or dokku you still have to manage the machine, those tools just simplify deployment. You still have to take care of host-level security and maintenance. Which is a hassle when all you really want is to stick your app somewhere and have it run.

Ah I see. That's a fair point. With Heroku you delegate both (1) the server management and (2) the deployment aspects of an application. Dokku seems to solve (2), I hope someone will come up with an automated solution to turn a linux box into a secured application runtime.

I use digital ocean apps and can't help but feel grifted, the price for what you're getting in specs is terrible compared to a VPS or a bare metal. The same is true with Render or Fly. But I just don't have the time or confidence to run my own server.

I feel like there is an opportunity for huge savings here, I just need that fictional piece of software.

This is slightly off-topic, but does Dokku take care of host level security at all? Or do you have secure the server normally before using Dokku?

Obviously these are conceptual, but they’re gorgeous imo.

Here is the prompt that generated the designs:

“Notion Dashboard software dribbble nature --v 4” (https://twitter.com/tombielecki/status/1601393500926672896?s...)

The answers seemed generic but I didn't even notice. This is just going to get worse over time, isn't it?
