rozhok··on Substack writers, you need a website
Substack fails to deliver the single thing it supposed to do - great reading experience.

The website itself is slow, it cannot render the whole comments section, it constantly nags readers with subscribe forms.

It can not handle single account across my subscriptions.

Its just crap.

rozhok··on Postgres rewritten in Rust, now passing 100% of the Postgres regression tests
Wondering if its possible to backport performance improvements into upstream. Should be a big deal.
rozhok··on Deezer says 44% of songs uploaded to its platform daily are AI-generated
Marketing your album is a different kind of work. Thats why labels and whole distribution industry exist in a first place. Bandcamp is not a streaming platform, so you naturally wont get organic listeners here.

Good album, by the way.

Ther is a bunch of wrapping plugins where you can provide your own API key, like proxyAI or Supermaven. Look in the plugins marketplace.
rozhok··on Piku: Allows git push deployments to your own servers
You still need to install nginx, php-fpm an configure certs, so php is not that easy unfortunately.
rozhok··on Why so many of us were wrong about missile defense
It shot down what is claimed to be "hypersonic" missle by russians. I don't know about "kinzhal" speeds, but the rockets are indeed was shot down a bunch of times. Speaking about "cyrcon" missiles, they do travel at the hypersonic speed but slowing down at the last miles of trajectory and can (and was) shot down too.
rozhok··on Rivers Cuomo is an active developer on GitHub
What's going up with him? Looks like he shut down his own company Apex (logs aggregator) and stopped doing open source work. His twitter is also somewhat inactive.
rozhok··on LEGO Building Instructions
I was dreamed about this set back in mid-90s. Unfortunately my parents wasn't able to afford it, and I only had small and mid sets and not a single "technics" set.

So I was doomed to re-read a paper catalog countless times hoping someday I'll get it.

rozhok··on 11 years of hosting a SaaS
The point is you can do it from Heroku UI.
rozhok··on AWS Lambda function for converting of Telegram channel to RSS feed
Telegram is a publishing platform. It's a big deal in the post-soviet countries. The "channels" thing is widely used for publishing by media, gov and bloggers. It's more like social network than plain messenger for a long time already.

I did similar rss-like implementation for my own needs because of frustration of reading and experience, also there is a bunch of similar services.

The reason for not using microblogging is engagement. No one will read it and no one comment on it. Telegram had built-in comments for channel post and people actively interacting here.

I'm somewhat popular blogger in my niche and so far telegram is the best channel I have. I repost all stuff to my own site and medium, but it gain a fraction of views and interactions I get on telegram.

rozhok··on I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music

rozhok··on Why Unreal Engine 5.1 is a Deal [video]
Worked fine on i7-9900k + AMD RX 580. Not sure about supporting nanite/lumen though.
rozhok··on Google, please do something with your ads and SEO-spam
Those are not shallow blogspam. Those are actually good articles derived from the man experience.
rozhok··on Ask HN: How would you design an alternative Twitter
I did it once in my career. We've had one legacy PHP project designed to work for MySQL. I was in charge of bringing it back to live and I decided to host in on Heroku for the sake of simple deployment. While Heroku does have MySQL addons I opted for using Postgres.

So we've just switched underlying connection and fixed a dozen of (mostly reports) places with plain SQL queries with MySQL-specific syntax. ORM library handled rest just perfectly.

rozhok··on Many tech companies are 2-10x overstaffed

rozhok··on Tabler: Free and open source dashboard HTML/CSS framework
Does it have multi-select input like "select2" (https://select2.org/getting-started/basic-usage#multi-select...)? Demo featuring "advanced select" but it doesn't allow to select multiple items.
rozhok··on Software Disenchantment (2018)
So what exactly does google keyboard and google play services? Why it consumes so much space?

REAPER (http://reaper.fm/download.php), the full-fledged complex desktop application (DAW) weights only 15MB.

rozhok··on I love the Linux desktop, but that doesn't mean I don't see its problems
