A lot of small businesses use these platforms for outreach. Without them they wouldn't have an avenue to reach and stay in contact with customers. An example would be a potter showing their work on Instagram and then linking back to th

I've had three different galaxy fold zs and each one has had a broken interior screen. My current fold has a broken internal screen and I'm on vacation.

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, etc. Ingestion is instant as I just poin

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 is next to Talenti and - for a couple bucks more -

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 when nodes are added to my network.

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 grok it. And if I stopped looking at Nix for 6 months,

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

And Etsy. Basically any ecommerce site.

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 value to everyone.

...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. "Cross platform" is even a sub-heading

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. The other dimensions would be curated backpacking

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 allows me to scan my backpacking gear to load it into a l

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 engagement. We, as consumers, have rewarded this revenue model

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 is genuinely a cut above the rest. I actually thin

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 quality of code from LLMs is low enough that I have to spend

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 years of earning nothing. But I can't help b

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 as have a high quality RBAC and access control syst

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 it to pick up my controller. It took a bunch of goo

This is super cool. More options is always good. Something that is confusing about the docs though... is there a desktop application? The screenshot implies there is but I couldn't find the docs to download THAT.

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 outlier because I'm an SRE whose first d

Oh yeah, no shade against the language itself. I had fun learning it and using it for some toy development years ago - and the TEA still exists in multiple library implementations. Just wild to see the creator of the language emerge from th

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.

Yeah, I apologize for how restrictive "want" is - I'm not sure what the appropriate word is in this context. It's more that content engagement is what drives web traffic regardless of whether or not users express desire

I actually strongly disagree with this. This is how many social media sites have failed. I don't know if alternative social media can ever scale as large as Reddit. Tildes.net and Lemmy both have similar activity to Hacker News and I&#

This is kind of how I feel about any business. Any new initiative requires an IMMENSE amount of capital. If not to build the product, then to buy the exposure.
