It’s fascinating to think about what true GUI for LLM could be like. It immediately makes me think a LLM that can generate a customized GUI for the topic at hand where you can inte…

Thanks for bringing the disko command to my attention. However, since we are talking about installing NixOS declaratively, and it's done through nixos-anywhere, which will install …

That's fair, having a remote shell environment that you feel comfortable to poke around is pretty great. For git, you commented "for checking out github.com/stapelberg/configfiles"…

Not to criticize the article, which is very well written, just some extra info: It seems for the author, the custom installer is mainly used for accepting user SSH public key, term…

Do you happen to have links to such discussions and analyses?

It seems Reddit also punishes ban avoiding. If they find a way to associate my banned accounts with a preprovisioned account, that account can also get banned? I don't know how the…

I recently build an open source nix project and I want to share it with people in r/NixOS. I have an account I made in 2023, but I don't really use it and I don't really like the u…

Hi, this is Glen. I find setting up Nginx with an ACME tool very involved and painful. Inspired by Caddy's automatic HTTPS, I created something similar for Nginx. It mainly address…

I wonder if Google is Xerox of our era, developing promising technologies only to be made practical and commercialized by other entities? Transformer is one example. Not sure if re…

This seems to be another iPhone moment, but I wonder what’s its killer feature? iPhone had the killer feature of phone calls, so everyone has a reason to buy one, I can’t come up w…

Many people seem to be unenthusiastic about it because the limitation on query strings are usually large enough. I personally like this addition, because it no longer requires all …

I have a personal VPS for my blog and side projects. Recently I noticed something fishy is going on on my server: some bins are gone, ssh last login IPs belongs to a docker contain…

This is akin to 2D beings saying time is the third dimension and being satisfied with the conclusion and happily living in their 2D world.

This seems like a pretty comprehensive book. Will check out. Thanks.

Thanks, but as mentioned in the post, without a good understanding it's really difficult to choose tools. I'm looking for materials that put these tools into context & perspective …

I’ve been running a few distributed web services, but except for a few rudimentary nginx access logs, I have no idea how they’re functioning. I have the following goals and questio…

Is it a good opportunity to make it work in deno since everything is self-contained?

> Even if someone does copy you, it grows the market, at least for startups. Thanks for showing me a totalizing view. This is another thing I should keep in mind. > No. If it were …

> Going from 50% chance of making something useless to 25% - by seeing how users react to your product - is worth increasing the chances of a copycat from, say, 1% to 2% This is a …

I'm building a project that I'm quite excited about, but at the same time, I feel worried. I worry that if I release a MVP asap, but not techinically competent enough to quickly im…

I wonder if there exists a sci-fiction that talks about how human beings detect something disastrous happened to Sgr A* and realize that happened 26,000 years ago then try to leave…

Glad to see updated packages. I wonder if they should be favored over those offered by official Docker images when used in Docker? For example, what are the pros and cons between u…

I’m trying to not rely on GOPATH too, but how do you import sub packages? Are you supposed to put them in vendor too?

You can work around the GOPATH issue by using Docker. If you build go within a Docker container, you can structure the folder however you like and it won't affect the host. The onl…
