Re:Oracle Just Halved Its Always Free ARM Limits

Interesting, I definitely haven't received an email from Oracle about this yet. Guess I'll have to move this server somewhere else now though. Maybe OVH?

Yep. I thought it was supposed to run through the 19th?

Neat! Would a similar approach work with ZFS instead of btrfs?
Re:Show HN: Freenet, a peer-to-peer platform for decentralized apps

I'd agree if this was more like a Freenet v3, but it's an entirely different project with completely different goals.

Yeah, I'm not a fan.
Feels like this project is trying to get popular off of Freenet's name recognition rather than its own merits.

Re:Creators of Tailwind laid off 75% of their engineering team
on Wednesday January 07, 2026 @03:27PM (#46532095)
Only an anecdote, but I was working on a side project with another dev who wanted to use Tailwind Plus components. It wasn't immediately obvious whether this was allowed under his personal license or if we'd have to get a team license instead, though.
We decided to go with a FOSS component library instead to avoid any potential issues down the road. After re-reading the license page now, I'm still not sure.
Re:Migrating the main Zig repository from GitHub to Codeberg

I'm not a fan of GitHub Actions either, but is there actually anything better nowadays? I've just come to accept it as the best of bad options.
Re:Automatic K8s pod placement to match external service zones
on Tuesday October 14, 2025 @03:55PM (#45584043)
Wasn't aware that there was noticeably higher latency between availability zones in the same AWS region. Kinda thought the whole point was to run replicas of your application in multiple to achieve higher availability.

As someone not currently using Cloudflare Workers, I'm not sure I want to build a worker and figure out how to interface with it though my existing application just to send email. What happened to SMTP?

Was just about to do a demo, but Google Meet was down. Tried to use Jitsi as a fallback, but couldn't log in because Firebase was down too. Ended up using a Slack Huddle, lol.

Looking forward to either being stable. I like the idea of Tauri, but I need it to work well on Linux too.
Re:Writing A Job Runner (In Elixir) (Again) (10 years later)

My open source projects are generally more applications than libraries, yeah.
Re:Writing A Job Runner (In Elixir) (Again) (10 years later)
on Friday May 23, 2025 @11:57AM (#44073976)
It's more than just a few - even more basic things like rate limiting or concurrency controls are gated behind Pro. It works extremely well, but I've been reluctant to use it in open source projects because there's quite a bit in there I'd need to rebuild.
Re:Ash Framework – Model your domain, derive the rest
on Wednesday May 14, 2025 @02:10PM (#43987542)
I've been using Ash for a few side projects and recently started using it at the day job too. We're mostly using it for new functionality, with the Ash APIs alongside our existing ones, but planning on slowly moving older things over too. It's been working well so far, and it's been easy enough to use the escape hatches for anything weird we're doing.
Getting started was a bit tricky though - definitely recommend the Ash book there. It works a lot better than the documentation as an introduction.
Re:Show HN: Hydra (YC W22) – Serverless Analytics on Postgres
on Friday May 09, 2025 @01:50PM (#43939392)
I feel like my ideal would be something more hybrid. It's pretty rare that I have a table that I decide upfront should be columnar. It's a lot more common that I want occasional analytics-like queries on my regular tables to not take forever.
Re:Bitwarden introduces mandatory 2FA for new devices

This is how I use Bitwarden too, and it's the one thing I definitely don't want 2FA on.

Awesome! Contributors are definitely welcome, with just me this project will take an extremely long time to get to a polished state. For anybody interested in helping out, a Discord channel was set up to help coordinate.

Re:Bitwarden is no longer free software
on Sunday October 20, 2024 @05:10AM (#41894082)
I never really looked into it, but I thought Bitwarden was completely free software based on their marketing. Looks like it's had some weird proprietary bits introduced around 2020, though?

I've used https://github.com/nearform/temporal_tables before for that, has been pretty solid. Still need to manually keep the schema in sync, though.

Re:Linkerd no longer shipping open source, stable releases
on Wednesday February 21, 2024 @04:56PM (#39460146)
That message is from updating the linkerd CLI, so not quite that bad. My script updates the CLI and then the cluster, though, so if I hadn't interrupted then it would have.
Re:Linkerd no longer shipping open source, stable releases
on Wednesday February 21, 2024 @04:46PM (#39460030)
They're still shipping stable releases, but now under a restrictive license so they cannot be redistributed.
You can compile the current unstable development branch, but they'll be keeping the stable release branches secret.

Just ran into this while trying to do some patching:

Maybe it's time to find a new service mesh or just remove it.
