  So, it might not sound like much, but 4gb of ram is plenty enough to do quite a bit with self hosting.

  If you want to self host, and use it as an opportunity to learn, I recommend you install Debian, and get your hands dirty. If just want to self host without much of a headache, yunohost seems cool, but I’ve never used it, so I can’t recommend it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doubting Your Favorite Web Search Engine⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do find it odd how a proprietary paid search engine seems to get such a large amount of praise within privacy communities when there are fundamental challenges in making a paid search engine actually private.

  I think it’s because of the incentives of a paid search engine. I don’t pay for kagi myself, but I think the idea is that if you’re paying for the product, they don’t have much of an incentive to monetise your data, only to use it for legitimate uses.

  Whether or not that is true is a gold question, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What external services do you use for your selfhosting setup?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Around 350~400 GB. I compress and encrypt before sending to backblaze.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What external services do you use for your selfhosting setup?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t store much on backblaze, so I don’t think I’ve ever spent over 2USD there in a month. As for Cloudflare, I’m able to stay in the free tier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What external services do you use for your selfhosting setup?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For my homelab:

  • Backblaze B2 (Backup storage)
  • Cloudflare (DNS)
  • Tailscale (VPN)
  • Oracle Cloud (VPS)

  For things that I host externally (i.e. not part of my homelab):

  • Oracle Cloud (VPS)
  • Tailscale (VPN)
  • Cloudflare (DNS)
  • Cloudflare R2 (Object storage)
  • Backblaze B2 (Backup storage)

  Introducing Member Perks: Full-Text Newsletter RSS, Custom Icon Colors

  Ah, that explains it. I get the want and the need to monetise your product, but taking free features away to make them paid? Not the way to go, imo.

  Lots I disagree with in this article, but i agree with the message.

  On another note, I found this section very funny:

  Disgraced cryptocurrency swindler Sam Bankman-Fried, for example, once told an interviewer the following, thereby helpfully outing himself as an idiot.

  “I would never read a book…I’m very skeptical of books. I don’t want to say no book is ever worth reading, but I actually do believe something pretty close to that. I think, if you wrote a book, you fucked up, and it should have been a six-paragraph blog post.”

  Extend his prison sentence.

  Not sure why I’m wildly speculating when all this is surely documented somewhere lol

  But speculating without reading documentation is so fun! I love doing that, then reading the docs and realising how wrong and backwards my ideas were.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta rolled back protections. Now hate is surging.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I do wonder, are seeing more hate, more fear and less freedom because there is more hate, more fear and less freedom, or are we seeing these things because they are now no longer deleted, and there is the same amount of it?

  Either way there is no fix for facebook and other facebook owned platforms. Get rid of this shit.

  This reads like AI. I’ve lost any speck of respect I still had for NYT.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Msys2 was not created for devops, I just happen to be a devops engineer who uses it. Their websites describes it as:

  MSYS2 is a collection of tools and libraries providing you with an easy-to-use environment for building, installing and running native Windows software.

  Because it makes software building, packaging and distributing as simple aand standardised as it is on Linux, it means they effectively have a very good CLI on their hands. On my work laptop, I now use WezTerm with fish shell and helix editor for my workflow, and live in the terminal. Would this be possible to do without msys2 or wsl? Yes, but it would be a huge pain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The silent force behind online echo chambers? Your Google search⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was in the same boat as you, except that I came to the conclusion it was worth paying for. Then perplexity came out, and that decision was a little harder to justify, but I stuck with kagi.

  Then my ISP gave me a year of perplexity pro along with my internet speed upgrade. As much as I hate AI tools being everywhere, some of them are good, and Perplexity pro is one of them. Now that I’ve tried it, I think it’s worth it to the point that I’d pay for it even if my ISP didn’t give me the subscription.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I could never figure out how to set it up a sort from the one with Git.

  That’s because the one provided with git is a nerfed version of msys2. If you install msys2 as a standalone thing from their website, you get everything you need for a functional CLI on windows. Most importantly, you get a real package manager and decently populated repositories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve recently started using windows again for work, after not touching it for like 15 years, msys2 makes it tolerable.

  I’m a devops engineer, and my company won’t allow me to use WSL. Go figure.
