synchrone··on Cloud in a Bottle: making self-hosting accessible to everyone
portainer.io has that, but an opinionated docker-compose is just not enough to provide a solid selfhosting app-berth: DB backups, volume management and backups, email, TLS certs, etc etc etc - so you need a superset
synchrone··on Cloud in a Bottle: making self-hosting accessible to everyone
cloudron has that elbow grease that only comes from years of running a project with an actual community of real users: a solid platform featureset like backups, DB management or mail sending, but also addressing niche apps' needs like .well-known or custom ports, UDP, server certificates available to the app and not just on platform frontend proxy layer

highly recommend!

synchrone··on Deno Desktop
Regular Tauri app (aptakube) user on linux here: the experience is very adequate and smooth, I have no complaints. Speed benefits relative to Electron (similar app: K8S Lens) alone are enough to deal with many possible issues.

Could be attributed to app developers going the extra mile, but I suspect it's the framework choice.

synchrone··on The Deletion of Docker.io/Bitnami
Their Dockerfiles include things like download pre built binaries from $SECRET_BASEURL which is hosted by them, can still be found in git log though. I imagine it will go offline / have auth soon enough.
synchrone··on Building Ultra Long Range Toslink
I tore down oculus link cable - it's just copper internally.

Also oculus works fine over the "charging" type c cable + type-c to type-a + a classic copper usb3.0 extender of another 1.8 meters.

synchrone··on Apple drops soldered storage for 2024 Mac Mini
Some people are already selling compatible SSD modules: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/polysoftservices/studio...

Hopefully the French law would protect them from a lawsuit

synchrone··on SponsorBlock – skip sponsor segments on YouTube
It uses the tv youtube app remote control over local network to see if it plays a video, and skips at the right time.
synchrone··on macOS in QEMU in Docker
Any word if this would run the iOS simulator?

Edit: it actually does!

synchrone··on Letsencrypt Supports Wildcard Certificates
> Let’s Encrypt follows the DNS standards when looking up TXT records for DNS-01 validation, you can use CNAME records or NS records to delegate answering the challenge to other DNS zones. This can be used to delegate the _acme-challenge subdomain to a validation-specific server or zone. It can also be used if your DNS provider is slow to update, and you want to delegate to a quicker-updating server.

synchrone··on Mailpit – An email and SMTP testing tool with API
smtp4dev https://github.com/rnwood/smtp4dev - works well in docker, has api, can selectively forward to a real smtp
synchrone··on Ask HN: Self-hosting in 2023: Nextcloud on Linode, or...?
Cannot upvote this enough
synchrone··on Stripe has decided to nuke my entire business
There is even a feature called auto-sweeps that can be requested via support to enable automatic daily payouts
synchrone··on Can the Visa-Mastercard duopoly be broken?
If you initiate it - yes. If the seller charges by IBAN via SEPA - you get 8 weeks to chargeback, no questions asked
synchrone··on Austria's data protection authority has found that Google Analytics is illegal
https://www.onlyoffice.com/saas.aspx - very decent compatibility with Office and speed; is a European company; much of the functionality is open source.
synchrone··on The Entire History of Soviet Rocket Engines
This person had the exact same issue with their child, developed an app for this and got banned from play store: https://habr-com.translate.goog/ru/post/421451/?_x_tr_sl=aut...

The app is available as a standalone APK now: https://channelwhitelist-tilda-ws.translate.goog/?_x_tr_sl=a...

Unfortunately i could not find sources, but it works rather well and has English UI as well

synchrone··on LineageOS for MicroG
At the very least - LOS has more supported phones.
synchrone··on Self hosting is important
does it mean you have to put your data into Yandex or Alibaba Cloud if you wanna avoid USG quietly getting it?
synchrone··on Chrome testing RSS-powered ‘Follow’ button
Also check out https://github.com/DIYgod/RSSHub, it's aggressively compatible with websites that refuse to do RSS, and has a large community that keeps it up to date
synchrone··on Shmig: Database migration tool written in bash
I tried flywaydb, and some others. There are not a lot of migration tools that are not part of a bigger framework.

Can you link some examples that you think would gladly process data-migrations that are 1-2GiB large?

synchrone··on Shmig: Database migration tool written in bash
If you have giant migration scripts, for whatever reason, this tool is the only migration engine that would not choke on them.
synchrone··on NSQ A realtime distributed messaging platform
As far as I read the docs, if you use 0 for memory storage size - it will flush to disk before responding that the message was published OK.

Delivery is "at least once".

synchrone··on NSQ A realtime distributed messaging platform
Was using it in production before. NATS itself is great and reliable.

However disk persistency is done with nats-streaminh and i had big issues with it's Raft file based store, where it would stop accepting messages after a short network issue, and not get unstuck unless I destroy the whole nats-streaming data storage amd start from scratch.

Also raft means 3x disk usage for one queue, since its fully replicated

synchrone··on NSQ A realtime distributed messaging platform
I searched all over the web for a reliable and scalable plain message queue that could work in a full disk-backed mode, not requiring the data to fit in memory.

Was very impressed with how little RAM and CPU it consumed under load.

synchrone··on Oculus Quest 2
Oculus Quest works with stock USB cable. Even via a passive, copper, extender to make it longer.

Oculus desktop software gives you a yellow mark, but games still work.

synchrone··on It’s Time to Get Back to RSS
as far as i can see, RSSHub does exactly that, and supports as many as 536 scraped sources (of varying caliber) at https://github.com/DIYgod/RSSHub/tree/master/lib/routes.

It's not an outlandish amount of work, if lots of people chip in with their favorite source.

synchrone··on It’s Time to Get Back to RSS
To reroute much of web-based feeds consumption to RSS - check out https://docs.rsshub.app/en/

It works quite well, has vibrant community, and support for ripping twitter and instagram feeds among dozens of other sites. It also has a browser extension to help discover available feeds on sites that it can digest - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rsshub-radar-...

There's also a Chrome extension, but that one is not translated from Chinese yet.

synchrone··on Kvrocks: Implement the Redis Protocol on Rocksdb
on paper https://github.com/yinqiwen/ardb does the same thing since 2013, and has other backends while defaulting to RocksDB.

Do you know what are the differences?

synchrone··on Ask HN: A modern-looking UML diagram tool?
A great example (and sort of a framework) of taking that way beyond is https://github.com/RicardoNiepel/C4-PlantUML
