Software architecture will become more important. I noticed LLM’s tend to create more code than prefer re-use. This behavior increases “dark code” volume. It would be significantly…

I'm new to the crossplane ecosystem. Today suddenly i noticed my opentofu provider pod is failing. Upon further investigation it turns out the version i'm using has been moved behi…

OP here. We, from Low-ops.com, needed a way for users to get started with their private instances with minimal friction. Since it is an application platform that comes preloaded wi…

I'm working on Internal Developer Platform for private clouds. Kind of like private Heroku. It works standalone and installed fully automatic. With primary focus on Low Operations …

A bit more info from CEO: https://redis.io/blog/agplv3/ Sounds like SSPL did not yield the desired outcome. Glad AGPL is an option now.

Unfortunately commercial companies tend to work behind closed doors/gardens. We are working on Low-Ops.com and would love to fully support NextJS. Self-hosting is the future :)

Great initiative! As a relatively late swimmer (started learning in my thirties), more people should be able to swim. I was expecting to see a map or list of places/cities to find …

I’m baffled to see so many anti-k8s sentiments on HN. Is it because most commenters are developers used to services like heroku, fly.io, render.com etc. Or run their apps on VM’s?

Reading through the homepage one part stood out: they burn through quite some laptops. I wonder, perhaps it’s related to their environment? Salpeter is probably damaging the electr…

Yesterday I received a form from a third party in .docx format. They probably use MS Windows and MS word to create it. I am on a mac. So I opened the file in Pages.app and export i…

The sad reality is probably not. I personally would prefer organizations to own their hardware as in the early age of internet. It was meant to be decentralized. However in the las…

With “cheap” i meant it was still affordable. If it was 10x then it would not be affordable. Just like a bottle a water costs more at the airport, internet access costs more on a p…

KLM, specially on long flights, has a free tier wifi where you can use major instant messaging without charge. If you want to surf the web, it’s pretty cheap. If i recall around 30…

Same here. I have wireguard vpn for the few times i need it to tunnel my traffic through home or need to access larger files not sync’ed with syncthing. My nas is a Synology. Vpn i…

It’s been awhile since i actually finished reading an article this long. Very well written! I tried to find out who the author is or how come he/she knows so much. No luck. Anyone …

Got the same issue. I am still to find a WM that can deal with native OSX fullscreen mode. Aerospace goes bongers when i have native full screen. It will get confused on what to fo…

That’s a workaround at best I also think this is perhaps the top issue i have with Meets. The current UX does not consider the fact people share screen most of the time. having abi…

If that is the “key” they should be transparent and explicit about it. Now it seems CF is a Mafia that realizes one of their extorted business should be squeezed to death for more …

Indeed. Based on what has been shared by OP, they could have a case. If OP’s business was in fact illegal, CF should have stated it. Now it seems CF is an evil sales driving monste…
