You use a forward proxy that can MITM.

Probably the best internal ai platform I've seen to date, incredible work.
at that point you are likely slowing down your applications - I think a basic OpenTelemetry collector mostly solves this, and if you go beyond the available buffer there, then dropping it is the appropriate choice for application logs.
Why do so many companies insist on shipping their logs via Kafka? I can't imagine deliverability semantics are necessary with logs, and if they are, they shouldn't be in your logs?
That is not a great test. Maybe it's just me but I don't often write code with the proper code style (or even semi-colons depending on the language) and let the IDE handle all of that.
Loving K3S so far, I've got a "homelab" of 4 RPis running it and so far it has been pretty seamless experience.
Damn, 30 days is quick. I found out about
https://neon.tech but then quickly ran into a major bug, and then thankfully found out about bit.io, which is what I use for
https://dittoed.app.
Looks like I will have to go back to neon (they fixed the bug).
If anyone has other ideas, I'm all ears. Project is hosted on Cloudflare and they have D1 now, but Dittoed uses a little bit of PostGIS.

A set of utilities for myself, especially the private notes for sending sensitive information that is e2e encrypted:

AWS Amplify is the worst AWS service I have used, by far. The console was constantly broken in chrome, their reverse proxy is slow, the pre-baked auth components with Cognito were pretty useless, and so much more..
It feels like the team is trying to do way too much, all at once, and none of it well.
That's a really good idea, especially for the private notes functionality where you could pipe some output into a private note and get an e2e encrypted URL back. On the list, thanks!

Hi HN!I was recently on a sabbatical and wanted to checkout the advancements in the frontend space. I would love to show you all https://utiliti.dev!I often find myself resorting to online web-based utilities, especially for things like note sharing, or viewing JSON as a tree when my IDE isn't open. Having used a few tools in the past, I was never sure what those tools were doing so I ended up...
I think this was sort of the key issue, it wasn't open source, but the docs / website was. Have been thinking of cleaning it up and open sourcing it.
Oh man I kind of built something like this. I took the project down because I got semi-burned out while also having a full time job. I have a video still up at
https://github.com/aidmin-io/docs. Feedback on HN was that companies wouldn't trust it unless they could run it in their own infra, but clearly there is a huge need with BaseDash and now another similar company funded by YC.

Is this a problem? It will only leak on the sender and receivers browser history.
Today it does, but might need to find a way around it.
I just finished building a similar tool:
https://utiliti.dev/private-note/Currently it’s just for plaintext, but might allow for more complex things like the website.
The password is stored in the url after the # so it’s never sent to the server.
I was going to post this project after I build some more utilities.
This was basically my holiday project - Photo:

I'm running Longhorn for storage but haven't figured out backup yet, and haven't got to grafana / prometheus yet.
I put up my work on GitHub as well: https://github.com/inssein/mainframe. I wanted to create a separate ingress controller for internal dashboards, but for now I just setup a separate nginx-ingress for internal, and using traefik for external, feels wrong.
ADTs like the one described here for remote data is a good start, but I haven’t yet found a good way to compose multiple pieces of data that is in potentially different states.
We use another class based concept on top at work where you can compose multiple pieces of remote data together, but it really only works well for the happy path.
That's amazing! What have you learned to play so far?

You could even ask to hear them play when you see them next.
Weird I searched auth0 and got nothing, which I was surprised by.

Seems I can't link to the incident (gets marked as a deadlink), but here it is: https://status.auth0.com/incidents/zvjzyc7912g5?u=3qykby4vypfp
From the market research I have done so far, there are over 10 series B companies (some YC companies as well) that require exactly this kind of access.
Edit: They all offer an on-prem version, but only for enterprise ($$$$) customers.
