Can you make an interactive ssh instead?

I just run it in the terminal, every time I tried their integration it was missing a feature or it was easier to read on a terminal
Is there a place where we can find the complete USA investment portfolio?
It is the first time I see a specification 3881 pages long!
Use sym link in that case to keep the redirect.
Ok this product will be for project with less than 65k users.

For naming, just name the directory the same way on your file system.

Shareable urls can be a hash of the path with some kind of hmac to prevent scraping.

Yes if you move a file, you can create a symlink to preserve it.

Definity. Though SAMBA supports authentication natively. With SCP and sFTP you'll need another admin server to create users.
I do, password-protected of course. It is the only "native" way I found to get server files access to my iPhone without downloading a third party app (via Files).
Do you really need a database for this? On a unix system, you should be able to: CRUD users, CRUD files and directories, grant permissions to files or directories

Is there a decade-old software that provides a UI or an API wrapper around these features for a "Google Drive" alternative? Maybe over the SAMBA protocol?

Re:Fastmail Desktop App on Sunday October 19, 2025 @05:27AM (#45633018)
Not exactly. I use Fastmail to avoid using Google.

However there are tons of services that require Google (or outlook) to work with your emails.

Re:Fastmail Desktop App on Monday October 13, 2025 @02:43AM (#45565410)
I would rather have more integrations with third parties rather than this.

My main problem is that I have to put a lot of effort to not use gmail for my business because most of third-parties (like CRMs) work only/better with gmail.

Fastmail team, how about a Gmail compatible API ?

What a bummer the website https://www.calligraphr.com is a subscription model. I could impulsively pay $100 to get my handwriting as a TTF font and be quite happy about it.

Is there a way to efficiently use Lit without using a bundler?
Re:Moving away from AWS lambda/SQS/SNS/Aurora, worth it? on Wednesday August 27, 2025 @07:00AM (#45037939)
Thank you again, this is gold. We'll do a POC with 1-2 services and see how it goes.
Re:Moving away from AWS lambda/SQS/SNS/Aurora, worth it? on Wednesday August 27, 2025 @06:14AM (#45037584)
Nice, thank you for the insight.

I can tell that the on-premises will be deployed on AWS accounts. We can manage the resources ourselves.

We have few fanouts that can be refactored. So Redis/Valkey for SQS is OK, hopefully it can also cover our SNS use case.

I am afraid Kubernetes is overkill for our lambda needs.

If we manage to bundle our whole app in one server and have only 1-2 clients on -premise, do you still suggest Kubernetes or a simpler rsync on all servers is enough?

Also, should we have a separate database instance for each client, or a Postgres cluster sharded? The latter seams more manageable.

Re:Moving away from AWS lambda/SQS/SNS/Aurora, worth it? on Wednesday August 27, 2025 @04:48AM (#45037006)
Thank you for your input.

All your points are valid and can be included in the contract: - We'll be the ones to choose the cloud provider, - We'll take servers that are big enough, - The client should upgrade their server according to our specs, - Upgrades are mandatory.

Any idea what other (simpler) recovery plans we can have besides on-premise?

Moving away from AWS lambda/SQS/SNS/Aurora, worth it?

Our clients are interested in using our SaaS solution on-premises to mitigate the risk of service interruption.Considering the opportunity, I am assessing the cost of doing on-premise deployments and maybe partially or fully moving away from AWS.Our current stack is EC2/lambda/SQS/SNS/Aurora/S3 & minor networking setups. AWS deployments made via serverless V3. All the code is in Node.js....

Re:Show HN: Smart email filters to unfuck your email on Tuesday August 26, 2025 @10:54AM (#45027437)
Easy way to do this: search for the word "unsubscribe" in your email and delete all of them.

I did this 4 years ago on my personal email address and I never had to recover any email.
