Currently I don’t use any CDN. I just host everything on Scaleway on VMs and serverless. Works pretty well for my use, but I imagine latency is bad for South Americans. I’ve looked into Bunny and I think that is the closest you get to Cloud

Before I went European sovereign for my own personal stack I used Cloudflare for hosting static and somewhat dynamic websites and it has become really nice the later years. There is almost no mention of "regions" in Cloudflare. Yo

One of my best experiences in Prague back around 2010 was when I had no Google Maps, tried navigating with a hotel pamphlet map, and promptly lost my way towards the student culture house I was trying to find. Ended up asking some locals wh

You might already know and used "for some reason" as sarcasm. For those that do not: Zoom did the usual aqui-hire. They needed to show their enterprise customers they were taking e2e encryption seriously, so they bought out the gu

Indeed. In a publishing (Wordpress) like solution maybe you would use HTMX for the user facing parts and React or something similar for the more interactive admin parts. Then you don't need to bother with server side rendering for the

I don't necessarily disagree that there comes a point at which you are working more against HTMX than with it. I think rather than measuring that contention point between HTMX and SPA/MPA in terms of interactivity I'd measure

I think HTMX is a great fit for forum software. Forum websites mostly deliver non-interactive content in the form of text and maybe some audio, video, or image content. All of this can be represented as HTML and CSS. With HTMX you can do pa

As a former Clojure dev (now just using Clojure in my spare time) I love Babashka. Michiel Borkent really nailed it with sci (Small Clojure Interpreter) and Babashka. Running a custom Clojure interpreter in a GraalVM compiled Clojure app is

Did they actually create the org yet? I saw the news you are linking that they were going to start the process. But I've seen no follow up news about the organization actually being here and the ownership of the PLC directory having be

The PLC governance not having been moved yet is my one main gripe against ATProto/Atmosphere now. There is so much being built on top of this protocol, and I truly believe it has the chance to make the social web more decentralized whi

Indeed. Don't be dissuaded by Hacker News commenters. All the naysayers here doesn't seem to have published their own blog posts about how they built circular LCD clocks with Arduino ESP32 and low level programming or whatever the

The three volume hard-book bound set is one of my favorite possessions. It has been a little while since I read them, but I must have read them cover to cover twice. The print quality and feeling of the hefty books makes them feel like real

Exactly. Nasjonalbiblioteket (National Library of Norway) has centuries of written material (Bokmål, Nynorsk and some Sami) and decades of audio and video material featuring varied dialects from all over the country. I believe training mode

The sad thing is Attenborough has lived to see the destruction of nature he loved so much. His constant warnings have gone mostly unheard. In some ways I think excellent nature programming like his own Nature is doing a disservice by making

Interestingly ATProto uses Merkle Search Trees to store data as commits, so in some respects it is similar to git. It even signs each commit (say you post an issue record to your ATProto personal data server) it is inserted into your merkle

I kept a Docker install of GitLab running for many years at my first full time employer out of university back in 2014 to 2020. It was really not too difficult. Every once a while they would release a major version that required a migration

I'm in the same boat as you. I've built a personal home page with Astro and hosted it on Cloudflare. It has been really cheap, only paying for worker subscription at 5 dollars per month. The site has been running non-stop essentia

I love that Kagi puts the "monetization" icon right next to results so I can avoid navigating to them. This means I'm much less likely to click on Medium.com links and other monetized blogs and sites. Often times the good con

Scaleway is indeed the closest thing we have to AWS, Google Cloud and Azure by a European company. They are fast building out a comprehensive managed cloud with IAM, managed databases, containers, etc. I do hope they succeed. I've only

This. Relying on developers manually trying to follow a style guide is a recipe for not having a consistent style. Instead something like pgFormatter should be used. I'm not sure what the state of SQL formatters and IDE support is thes

A killer feature rustic has over restic is built-in support for .gitignore files. So all your dependencies and build output is automatically ignored in your backups.

I see they have gotten support for S3 (and other storage providers) via OpenDal. Might need to revisit rustic for my backup needs then! I once started looking at what it would take to build a GUI using Tauri (Rust backend <-> JS/
