I've been self-hosting for 20 years now - a few years ago I switched to using Mail-in-a-Box ( https://mailinabox.email/ ) which makes management a lot easier than configuring each service manually. It definitely requires

We're using the highest tier Postgres instance at my work for one of our legacy Heroku apps and it costs thousands over what we'd pay for the equivalent on AWS directly.

I've got the color/RGB Philips Hue bulbs indoors and I find you can change them to a nice warm yellow color which is nice but they also can be changed to act like a candle. These are Christmas light specific - but Tru-Tone makes L

This was great, thanks for sharing. I really do love the "warmth" provided by VHS, but I often wonder if that is just nostalgia from using a technology we grew up with? I've been getting into old technology the past few years

I think mentioning that you're paying the cheque is tacky. Just invite them and pay for their meal silently as a nice surprise to the end of dinner.

I wish Valve would try to build a desktop OS. They surely have the bankroll to do something like that. I'm curious what percentage of Windows users are only using it for gaming? Are there any stats on that?

Ever since I left all social media and blocked (as much as I could) trackers in my apps and networks, I rarely see any targeted ads now. I now see completely irrelevant ads for things like stair lifts for the elderly. I quite enjoy not bein

AFAIK they can't legally claim your donation as a tax write-off, at least in Canada.

My spending on Amazon has diminished significantly due to the flood of Chinese copycat brands and products on there. Wish there was a way to filter out products by their country of origin. Is there any alternative out there?

Highly recommend checking out KEDA ( https://keda.sh/ ) which leverages HPAs under the hood. If you need to scale based on some internal data like database records, Redis queues, Kafka topics, etc. KEDA scalers are incredibly

When you're the only person to answer to for your physical health, it can be very easy to let yourself go. Having external accountability is a fantastic driver for improving physical health.

I highly enjoyed reading this book - does anyone else have recommendations for similar reads? Masters of Doom was another great one.

I wish there was a better alternative. I know Jellyfin is there, but I can't get behind the .NET framework it's written in.

I just learned that in 2021, Plex was acquired by Rockwell Automation. Had no idea that had happened. That seems like an odd company for them to acquire.

I agree, not all societies are like this. However, an argument can be made that it is inherent because it is dominant.

I think we as a species must rid ourselves of selfishness and greed. We need to think beyond the timelines of our own existence. Alas, I fear those traits may be too deeply rooted in our our own nature and nurture that our demise may be ine

Paywalled so I can't read the article but I'll throw in some related thoughts. I recall listening to the radio and hearing about the ways in which we view time can sometimes alter how we use it. A man was asked how many years he t
