    I just started building this a month ago so it's... sparse. But something that I'm trying to create is an indexer and aggregator for "third party" sites like Shopify, Squarespace, …

    Oh yeah, my partner and I noticed this when our local grocery store had a sale on Talenti. It just... wasn't very good. Like it was just OK. For that grocery store, Nancy's Fancy i…

    I use Tailscale to manage Plukio's infrastructure as well as connecting to my homelab. I'm happy that they're analyzing this angle of attack - but now I do want to build out alerts…

    For me, it was easier to just continue to use Ansible for machine reproducibility. I really like the thought behind Nix but I felt like I needed to elbows deep in it 24/7 to really…

    It's not like consumers aren't spoiled for choice of VPNs.

    It looks like it's a base and then they calculate cost of living rather than base your salary on the local cost of labor. That's pretty decent. DuckDuckGo I think just gives a flat…

    ...I was not at all confused about what it was when I looked at it. When I saw "safe home for your photos" I assumed it was a platform for uploading photos via an app or on the web…

    Well, the monetization would be that you would have to have a subscription to use it over a long term - similar to AllTrails. Checklisting/packing/gear tracking was one dimension. …

    I vibe coded a battery monitor for my wireless mouse. It doesn't have Linux support and I wanted to know when to charge it. I built an AllTrails equivalent (iOS app and all). It al…

    All of that is intentional. There isn't enough money to be made connecting people. Revenue streams are driven by ads attached to media interaction. Connecting people is low engagem…

    I use Linux and MacOS. I did just remove Windows because I didn't want to migrate to W11. Honestly, MacOS is great. I don't really understand the hate for it... and Apple hardware …

    It's a really cool project and clearly you put a lot of effort behind it. I like that it's self-hosted and may try it out on my homelab. Thanks for making it!

    Something that I was hoping was that LLMs would make software development easy enough so that I could upskill in areas that determine entrepreneurial success. But I find that the q…

    Yeah. "The market" lays you off - or heavily reduces your salary.

    It actually really hurt when I pulled up the page. It's why I'm trying to bootstrap my own software company off of my savings. I'm aiming for 85k (or there abouts) after a few year…

    It's hard to maintain open source software that needs infrastructure. Everyone is a volunteer and it's not like the Mandriva project has the resources to fully vet people as well a…

    It's not huge showstoppers. It's just a lot of little annoying things and last mile configurations. For example, I have to launch KCD2 with a Steam Deck related launch option for i…

    Yeah, but you're also on Hacker News. You are an outlier. I recently wiped Windows off of my gaming PC and installed CachyOS and, honestly, Linux just isn't ready yet. I'm also an …

    Oh my God, I had no idea this project was still alive. I don't mean to throw any shade but I had assumed that the lid was on this turkey.
