Re:Ask HN: A friend has brain cancer: any bio hacks that worked? on Thursday January 09, 2025 @05:25PM (#42650479)

Not sure if applicable and how to get in. Afaik price is around 100k for a personalised vaccine but you have to give them vaccine candidates based based on DNA data. Maybe some local biotech uni could help with that.

So far I'm pretty happy with TiddlyWiki - steep learning curve and a bit of a hassle to get setup right, but I can't go a day without it if I'm hacking at something. https://tiddlywiki.com/

Highlights:

* You can drag-and-drop plugins from other wikis you come across

* You can write own plugins and customise everything

* Hostable as a self-contained file (one index.html) and it builds itself (a quine)

* You can host it in Node if you want stand-alone note files

Still didn't figure out a good mobile workflow though.

Re:Advice needed for backing up and hosting large amount of files on Wednesday July 06, 2022 @02:32AM (#31997482)

I'm planning to look into https://www.storj.io/pricing (150GB free if I understand this correctly) for my own backup needs. You could theoretically host your own node somewhere on a cheap VPS, get credits and pay for your own storage? Not sure - I myself have to do some research.

Then you'd need a fronend capable mounting Storj and they seem to have pretty good documentation.

Again, unaffiliated, and not tested (yet)

Another alternative - pay google (https://one.google.com/about/plans) via a VPN in Turkey and you have 10TB for about 20USD a year. Make the files shared and there you go.

Oh and: I'm very sorry about what's happening in HK the last few years. I still hope the process is reversible.

Would subscribe/read as well. Not original poster, but would be interested in these edge case challenges and solutions.

Is there an easy way to achieve on-demand docker containers this way? As I understand this, for a private setup, I'd have to code the initialisation and run Kubernetes as well? Might be a noob question, but i have a few containers which are really resource intensive and spin them up manually when needed.

Possibly I'm not the right audience, but a guide on how to get your current docker setup incorporated into your service might be useful for people wanting to give it a spin.
