I tried Tangled and tried to run my own Knot, the problem I had was I'd create a repository, have it get created correctly on my Knot, but then would never see any updates to the repo on Tangled itself. The main issue is that even thou

I think that if you develop your application from scratch and directly use Redis as it was intended (data structures over the network) then it makes sense. I've done it for some applications and it's quite nice. But you have to ma

I do agree with the feeling that Redis started to add more and more features as time went on. A lot of that is because the time and cost to stand up a dedicated service (like Kafka, RabbitMq, etc etc) was higher than just putting more data

I have also moved my git repositories to a self-hosted NUC. I have not yet bothered with a HTTP frontend to share it with the world, mostly because I don't want to provide AI scrapers with content and don't want to put the work in

I mean, more around the reluctance to publish any more code publicly since it just gets sucked up by companies to train their models.

I have been struggling with this, myself. I used to push everything to GitHub, but a couple months ago I switched over to using my small low-power home server as a Git host. I used to really enjoy the feeling of pushing commits up to GitHub

As someone who was impacted by GitHub's git outage in late February, which caused us to cancel a feature release, I am more sensitive to the availability of their git service, than their chatbot.

Spamhaus only has this power because administrators opt-in to their service. It is useful, so people use it.

So, because it's a human behavior, that means it's okay that there's a huge company out there amplifying that behavior and profiting off it?

I think this reveals a great deal about the thinking of the ruling elites. The K shaped recovery phenomenon demonstrated that the economy can continue to thrive, when consumption by the lowest earners is replaced and concentrated by earners

That's a great question. I would also love to know that answer. I agree with you that they're not going to share the refund if the importer was the middleman in the supply chain, and same thing if the importer was also the seller.

by sc68cal 7mo ago
The importer pays the tax and passes it on as higher prices to the consumer. So the importers are the one that had the tax collected from them and would be getting the refund. The importer CAN be the seller, but other times the importer is

Jobs are the only way that you survive in this society (food, shelter). Look how we treat unhoused people without jobs. AI is taking jobs away and that is putting people's survival at risk.

It's such a shame, because they had one of the best services out there. Being able to push via Git and end up with a running deployment was a killer feature. It may not have been the first (Elastic Beanstalk was way older but when it f
