I think people over index on “convenience” for lower quality products that further the growth of businesses like Amazon that can now fuck you over like this as a result.

We live in a convenience era (delivery services, etc) that allow people to “live” their life from a couch. There is a great Kurt Vonnegut quote I’ll paraphrase

“My wife says to buy a hundred envelopes online, but I’d rather go out and buy just one. Along the way, I’ll meet people, see interesting things, and enjoy life. The point isn’t the envelope—it’s everything that happens while getting it.”

Bizarre comment.

I Selfhost redlib. Throw behind Tailscale and force redirect to it when hitting Reddit links. No issues

Glad you enjoyed!

Yah ignore this guy. This app is awesome and how I develop side projects is vastly different than boring corporate shit. Party on brother

So is this just like a network tunnel but for iMessage? Does the daemon on the laptop need to be running while I am gone?

I assume you proxy through the stella number and it just routes to the daemon over a little tunnel?

Literally this is the best show I’ve ever seen. If I’m ever burnt out at work I rewatch it

Sure but let’s have checks and balances against our government poorly handling sensitive documents.

That’s a lot of places to live. Moving to the UK from the US for me was already mentally draining logistically so curious how you balance that

Ansible, git ops, actually testing it out. Backups with snapshots using restic, encrypted secrets using vault.

Easy to use a local proxy to use other models with CC. Wrote a basic working one using Claude. LiteLLM is also good. But I agree, fuck their mindset

Care to share an example of cloudflare impacting you from this to date? CEO is a lawyer and feel like they adhere to their principles pretty firmly. Just check the latest in Italy

Beautiful diagram. Is this just SVG or?

Nice article, been playing with ClickHouse a bit and really like it.

Unrelated - how well do articles like this work for driving signups to your product/platform?

I don’t think you need a box of any kind. Just tunnel into a server that is in the location you want it to be in and proxy traffic through that?

Haha ah man that’s funny and also depressing. I miss the Web 2.0 icons. Really made me feel like I wanted to create something. Now it’s just flat corporate garbage

Awesome! Looking forward to that post

damn, whalesalad.. I was really inspired by your blog and designs when I was a little kid. I remember how satisfying that Tasty WP theme was. Miss those web 2.0 days. Cheers Michael!

Read the book Distributed Services in Go. You implement a complex micro service oriented commit log like Kafka. The code is beautiful and the author created Kafka.

Yes. It’s copyright in the same way.

Go is fantastic and also has a native UI framework called Wails. Not connected to the standard lib, but I believe it started in Google

it’s mostly porn! I was researching some DHT crawler work recently and came across some interesting papers. Here’s a super fun high level read on someone who crawled the BitTorrent distributed hash table using a Sybil attack:

Definitely don’t sign up for Hulu then. Even worse

Not a book but check out jvns.ca for some inspiration.

I read this book years ago and was interested in rereading. Any good JS books you would recommend for modern day that would be just as good?

“Oopsies, I can’t find what you’re looking for” with a 404 in the response header versus

“404 not found” with a 404 in the response header seems pretty reasonable to me.

If they deviate from standards, sure.

Neat gadget/site! I think people have concerns around value proposition when you sell the box for hundreds of dollars and say it's good to host a Ghost blog on.

I would probably advertise something bigger because FWIW I host a blog on a $5 pi fronted by Cloudflare (free).

These look really nice and clean though, wish you the best!
