I wrote a little program to spin up isolated rootless workspaces: https://github.com/jgillich/tpd

Works pretty well for me but I haven't put any effort into promoting it

There is no payment option yet, it's going to come later. Just wanted to be as transparent as possible from the start. Winrar is actually the inspiration for this model, hoping it'll work better than asking for donations.
Re:Show HN: Seabird, the native Kubernetes desktop client on Monday January 29, 2024 @09:29AM (#39176627)
I built this as a replacement for Lens since I have some long standing issues with it. Lens also went fully proprietary recently, and this is one piece of software I think needs to be open.

Seabird is MPLv2 licensed with no CLA. The UI uses GTK and code is written in Go, so it should be familiar to Kubernetes devs. There are builds for all major platforms, although GTK on Windows is noticeably slower to render (help wanted). Let me know if you have any questions or feedback.

That's only for the hosted service, no? They have a MIT licensed version

True, I have never in my life noticed screen tearing, X11 or otherwise.
Re:Introducing fine-grained personal access tokens for GitHub on Tuesday October 18, 2022 @06:19PM (#33254805)
Waited for this for so long! Thanks GitHub.

But organization tokens would also be nice so you don't have to rely on one person to manage it.

Re:Why Kubernetes Is So Complex on Monday October 17, 2022 @08:27PM (#33241452)
The piece was meant as a brief behind-the-scenes look for people hesitant to adopt K8s, sorry if the title is misleading. I'm not the best writer, but working to improve.
Re:Show HN: Managed hosting for open-source web apps on Thursday October 13, 2022 @02:48PM (#33194889)
We are of course cheaper, but paying for Plausible also supports their development. The choice is yours. ;)

Note that Plausible is not available on our lowest plan, the dependency on Clickhouse makes that not economical for us. Sharing Clickhouse instances to bring the cost down is something we might look into in the future.

Re:Show HN: Managed hosting for open-source web apps on Thursday October 13, 2022 @05:49AM (#33189086)
No real benefit, but we do also offer other apps. And I know there's an ethical component here, where we might poach customers from the FOSS project's own managed hosting. That's not why I built Cloudplane, quite the opposite; the intention is to support FOSS sustainability by reinvesting parts of our revenue into the ecosystem.
Re:Show HN: Managed hosting for open-source web apps on Wednesday October 12, 2022 @12:56PM (#33179742)
I worked on this for over a year, and last week we've finally launched. I'm the type of person that loved self-hosting, but always thought server management was broken. Declarative infrastructure was part of the solution, but tools like Terraform didn't go far enough. Then I got into Kubernetes, and realized that it takes the declarative model to a whole new level. Cloudplane is built entirely on Kubernetes, and I already released a few blog posts on the technology behind it, such as CUE for templating.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Re:Software I’m thankful for (2021) on Friday September 23, 2022 @12:58PM (#32954393)
Software development is a much better experience on Linux compared to Windows (unless you stay within Visual Studio).

If you do tasks that are well supported by your OS, your experience will be mostly good. Don't run servers on MacOS, don't develop on Windows and don't game on Linux. Or do it anyway and deal with the unpolished aspects of it.

Not sure where you're from, but for the most part it's not governments who are to blame (France is an exception). Copyright and rights management on a global scale is challenging, but the music industry made it work. It's up to the TV industry to do the same.
I've found that Go is not elegant enough for me and Rust is too difficult to write (I started using Rust in 2015 and after years of trying I eventually realized Rust doesn't make sense for most apps), so I'm all in on Crystal. Despite not having much prior Ruby experience, I absolutely love the language.
Re:From macOS to FreeBSD on Friday February 18, 2022 @09:32AM (#30386131)
When I say BSD doesn't support Flatpak, I mean literal Flatpak. I want to go to Flathub and install any piece of software. Yes, not possible because BSD is not Linux, but as a user I don't care. Flatpak has solved packaging and installing software across distros, and I'm not willing to give it up.
