Does HN self-host too?

Publishing it on GitHub is optional; you can publish it anywhere accessible. And unlike these journals, it doesn't cost you anything to access free software. In fact, paywalling it…

VIM and self-hosted ollama for free? Nothing stopping you to build the world you want really.

All of Lebanon is not an active Warzone

You are mentioning a civil war that happened a decade ago that is by no means exclusive to Hezbollah. I couldn't care less what their founders wrote, but, strangely, they care abou…

Yes, a flood of immigration combined with systematically displacing the local population. See the Nakba and Settler movement.

Nice, using Islam as a scapegoat. Lebanon is a democratic republic that has 43.4% Christian population. If that is their intention, why not focus on their country first rather than…

I think we can all agree that the ancient Roman and Byzantine empires were not exactly gold standards in protecting human rights. However, the fact that something was done to the J…

From the job posting, it seems Tesla is using some Scala too.

Just bash script isn't enough if there's no automated process that run it every time developers make changes to your main/release repository trunk. If you still run it manually to …

More apt comparison, should we erase Meinkampf or Das Kapital or any books that inspire violences (for example, the holy books) from existence?

Wrong mindset. You still need to support the developers somehow. I still bought games/movies but get the non-DRM version just for the convenience i.e. not having to start launcher …

Doing politicking on Twitter is fine as long as they don't bring it into work places. This is the reason why I don't follow my boss or any of my colleagues on Twitter beside that I…

It's not the tech that makes Twitter interesting, it's the already established networking power. You can clone the tech but you can't clone the social part.

That's the perks of having f.u. money.

There's free speech in legal term as coded in US constitution which have nothing to do with Non-US citizen like me. Then there's free speech as in universal value that every member…

Which has benefit so that you can see past messages. This why I think Telegram is a perfect place for hosting public groups chat (like an IRC but with better usability).
