Is it cake? Game for devs.
... rather than that, they should prepay everyone a few hours of therapy and aroma sticks. A waaay more profit in the long game.
Deeply moved by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47021980 I set out to make Oat a bit nicer and add a few (important for me) components.

Somewhere along the way I succeeded in making it ... slightly slower and slightly bigger than upstream. Progress!

Curious what you people think. Contributions and your hate welcomed :)

Re:AI is going to kill app subscriptions on Sunday February 15, 2026 @11:14AM (#47024861)
Subscription is not about app ownership, but mostly running the infra. AI is going to make basically everything even more expensive and subscription based.

Your point is based on wrong assumptions.

Nice job! Clicked tru my obscure mobile firefox and all worked well!

Best part is how "west" wants Russians public to revolt against tyranny while we boil like a frogs ... And do absolutely nothing.
Re:Why I Left iNaturalist on Friday January 09, 2026 @09:01AM (#46553918)
I empathize deeply as I was a few times in a similarly complicated situation. I know, posts like this arent about seeking "feedback" but simply releasing pressure, and thats 100% valid.

That said, one thing I learned from my own experience was to stop pointing fingers (build up badblood and seeking conflicts) and instead focus on the hard lessons about my own mistakes(learning!). I wish you the best in your next chapter. The path to becoming a good manager/colleague is never ending and demanding and its evident you want to be one ... Goodluck!

"serverless"
Cheap? 20% increase in cost of BoM equals at least ~100% increase for customer. Would you pay twice for AMD components? What would market do?
100%! Not only local-first. But also private, zero/minimal dependency, open source and environment agnostic!

If there is anyone interested in working on such projects - let's talk! We can't leave our future to greedy surveillance zealots.

Re:Homomorphically Encrypting CRDTs on Wednesday June 18, 2025 @01:53PM (#44311934)
Server will store encrypted blob and its hash/etag.

Client before upload of data, check for hash/etag of blob he originally fetched. If blob on server has different one, it will download it, decrypt, patch new data on existing one, encrypt and reupload.

Whats the catch?

AES is hardware accelerated on the most devices - so with all the ops it will be significantly faster than any homomorphic enc nowadays.

Re:Google Pixels are no longer the AOSP reference device on Thursday June 12, 2025 @03:13PM (#44261900)
GraphenOS was the only reason to buy pixel.
For now, unfortunately, no - no signed URLs are supported. It wasn't my focus (use case), but if you find a simple/minimalistic way to implement it, I can help you with that to integrate it.

From my helicopter perspective, it adds extra complexity and size, which could maybe be ideal for a separate fork/project?

10/10 Loving it (and how fast it is!) - its just not the use-case that fits my needs.

I want maximum ability to "move" my projects among services/vendors/providers

is there a way to wrap their s3 client for use in HonoJS/CF workers?
Personally, I don't like AWS that much. I tried to set it up, but found it "terribly tedious" and drop the idea and instead focus on other platforms.

Right now, I am testing/configuring Ceph ... but its open-source! Every talented weirdo with free time is welcomed to contribute!

yes, you are right!

On the other hand S3 uses checksums only to verify expected upload (on the write from client -> server) ... and suprisingly you can do that in paralel after the upload - by checking the MD5 hash of blob to ETag (*with some caveats)

does it make sense or should that be optional?
tbh - english is not my mother-language so i do help myself with copy and typos ... but, if it feels uncomfy please feel free to open PR - I want it to be as reasonable as possible
he expected to be s3 client on desktop/local machhine
Re:Don't build your castle in other people's kingdoms (2021) on Wednesday October 02, 2024 @07:14AM (#41719304)
When it comes to the "internet" - you are 30 years late to apply such forces. Everything is now DRMed, closed garden proprietary bs - there is no legal framework, nor will to reverse that and we are going to pay.

And this is not cynic talking ...

The judge and everyone who follows this creep should be fired and put in front of court for abuse of powers.
