thelastparadise··on QUIC is not quick enough over fast internet
Gotta be QUIC er than that, buddy!

> It's already really hard to buy big HDDs for my NAS

IME 20tb drives are easy to find.

I don't think the clouds have access to bigger drives or anything.

Similarly, we can buy 8x A100s, they're just fundamentally expensive whether you're a business or not.

There doesn't seem to be any "wall" up like there used to be with proprietary hardware.

thelastparadise··on Ask HN: Is YouTube blocking all anonymous VPN users?
Yeah they're blocking us as well. They seem to be ratcheting up their lock downs. Also, the recommendations seem to be only getting worse over time (similar to the main Google search.)
thelastparadise··on What happens when you touch a pickle to an AM radio tower
I'll be keeping my pickle far away from any radio towers.
thelastparadise··on Kubernetes turns 10: a ditty dedicated to a decade of container orchestration
You need docker swarm to do docker compose on multiple nodes right?

As soon as you touch swarm you're essentially playing with a k8s competitor.

You might consider k8s over swarm for standardization and community support (CSI, CNI drivers, operators, etc.)

thelastparadise··on Libations: Tailscale on the Rocks
Yeah, we use netbird in prod... it's awesome, rock solid.
thelastparadise··on Tinystatus: A tiny status page generated by a Python script
There is no reason to take on the added cost of Python for this.
thelastparadise··on Why did Windows 95 use blue screen error messages instead of hard error messages
> There’s so many of these things that sound like they should individually cause the system to be crashing constantly, and yet somehow they got it to mostly work.

You just described all of humanity.

thelastparadise··on Amazon bans its drivers from moving their own lips too much at work
We can all do better.
thelastparadise··on In a first, Phoenix hits 100 straight days of 100-degree heat
Is H2O bad to put in the air just like CO2?
thelastparadise··on Make Your Own CDN with NetBSD
> DNS would route requests to the nearest proxy based on the caller’s location

Anycast is the proper way to do this. No geolocation required, just dynamic routing protocols optimizing for shortest path.

thelastparadise··on IPMI
I don't want ACPI sleep on a server.
thelastparadise··on Ask HN: Why does Microsoft prohibit employee personal open source projects?
> Isn't big tech in a fierce competition for employees?

It sure seems to be in a fierce competition with employees.

thelastparadise··on 1M Users
Hey man, I'm getting started on the platform. Mind sharing your username?
thelastparadise··on fly.io Network Outage
Wait, outage almost never happens, but you're ready to migrate?

or do I detect a hint of SARCASM in your voice!?

thelastparadise··on Vizdom: Diagrams as Code
> You can create and render as many graphs as you like with the package offline - only the real-time sync is limited.

Why wouldn't I just use graphviz then?

thelastparadise··on Vizdom: Diagrams as Code
TBBQF I have no idea what the value proposition of this project is actually supposed to be.

Edit: It seems to have almost 100% feature overlap with graphviz, but it is a paid SaaS? I don't get it...

Edit 2: This has to be a troll post. "Up to 3 graphs" for free --are you kidding me? I can run `dot` a million times in a second for free

thelastparadise··on Set Up a $4/Mo Hetzner VM to Skip the Serverless Tax
Get me thinking:

Are there any good vertical autoscalers out there?

If we simply scaled the machine bigger and bigger (and then smaller) as needed, we'd avoid all the complexities of horizontal auto scaling. The limits of vertical scaling would be rather huge these days.

The simple edit/deploy loop of the blog post would remain 100% usable.

The bonus is that it'd work nicely with using sqlite as a datastore as well.

thelastparadise··on Set Up a $4/Mo Hetzner VM to Skip the Serverless Tax
When he says "serverless tax," a term I haven't heard before, is he talking about the development overhead?

If so, the code/test/deploy loop is certainly much faster with this method than any serverless I've messed with.

thelastparadise··on Discuss HN: Will 100M token LLMs replace most programmers?
If we had 100M tokens plus an LLM that is a few iterations beyond claude 3.5 opus, then sure.
thelastparadise··on [dead]
What?
thelastparadise··on Our slowly growing Unix monoculture
Why not Debian?
thelastparadise··on Crows are even smarter than we thought
No, it most definitely is not.

> edit: I looked into the other co-founder just now and I feel like I'm in the twilight zone

likewise, especially as a profitable bootstrapped founder

it's like these people don't play by the same rules as the rest of us

thelastparadise··on Linus Torvalds talks AI, Rust, & why Linux is the only thing that matters
He talks of a new memory safe kernel disrupting Linux the way Linux disrupted others.

Well, maybe that's exactly what should happen. Maybe rust should have never been allowed in the kernel in the first place.

It's caused a lot of trouble so far and for what? The dev community is fractured and infighting is rampant.

thelastparadise··on Weird People
> This confused political aside hurts my soul, and gives the rest of the piece a super villain origin vibe.

Maybe instead of looking down on him through your nose, try considering why so many people are feeling this way.

Have the incentives of the system changed? Are these people visible and valued in society? If not, why not.

Can you live without their labor supporting society?

thelastparadise··on Taskwarrior – CLI Task Management
This is infuriating. I keep clicking on the thumbnail images and it's not expanding to full size.
thelastparadise··on OpenAI exits SF HQ after Elon Musk stops paying their rent
Unknown unknowns
thelastparadise··on Developer tool 'diff' is 40 years old: can it be improved?
Seems like an LLM wrote this.
