They are cool, man they've grown. I used that when there were ~20 VM's on there. Its a great project but think its only physically in Amsterdam which is why I ended up moving back to vultr, as they have many more options.

I've always gone with Vultr (vultr.com) for BSD VMs, its properly supported by them and while I've never hard verified this, they seem like a nice smaller player. Like they have offered Open/Free BSD VM's for > 10 yea

Nice, I also have an office in my backyard. Although its a ~100 year old brick structure that was originally staff quarters. Had to put a new roof on it, run power, fibre and install AC. Now its my office / data centre (yes I put a rac

Looking for people and projects who are building alternatives to the big is better status quo. Bootstrapped, community driven, people sized. Both tech and non tech alike. Ideally put details in survey, otherwise respond here.

Seems electric cars produce the same or sometimes more non combustion particulates than ICE cars, eg. bits of road and tire that are flung into the air while driving. So EVs are better than ICE for air quality, but fewer cars even better.

Might find .xyz domains are more likely to be marked as spam, and people may be unlikely to want to use one. Its short to write but long to say / not common. I could be wrong but I think very few will be enticed by the domain alone or

Depending on your ability to influence, I've done all of the following in my last roles (now working solo so don't have these problems) - Pick a day to be 100% meeting free, agree with team / other teams to do same, block out

Would would want to chlorinate the resulting water, these filters are only going to remove large particulates. Clay/sand water filters have been in use for a long time, some from the roman period are still in use.

While I don't love the article, its wording and the rather pompous "/notes$ cat working-with-ai.md" gimmick ... oh you know what cat does? I agree with part of the thesis, a lot of the skill set (not the people manageme

Whenever I see anything today that is a game that wants me to answer a question, my first thought is I am working for free to train a model. I don't always know what or why but I am pretty sure that's what is happening.

I built https://kilta.io for this exact kind of problem, how do I find people near me with similar interests. But its new and not venture backed so building the required network is slow. Short of that try meetup.com, there are o

The really annoying ones are substack as it often wants you to sign in to access even free full text posts.

I had a similar idea on https://tuhat.net/ You can browse it on your ereader and any post can be downloaded as epub. Also for people who serialize books and put them in a collection, you can get the whole collection as a si

We don't have time anymore for A or B, we need to do both things now. End the fossil fuel industry and change our diets. If we don't radically decrease emissions by ~2030 we are ensuring +2C by ~2050. And +2C is going to be fugly.

I've got a tangent: I'm done using closed AI. My last role was HoE after a career as an IC, and honestly, using agents is 95% the same as being an HoE or team lead. Steering the ship, ensuring technical excellence, sometimes fixin

Not to mention that beef/dairy production is a primary source of methane which is 80x more potent than Co2, but constantly under reported due to its shorter half life. Yes in the long run that matters, but its all the more reason that

I actually linked a whole article about this point. Yes BP popularised personal carbon footprint to deflect responsibility. But actually in yge short term dramatically reducing methane is one of the most impactful things we can do as while

Totally, a huge swathe of things are better and cheaper when your make them yourself, you just need the time. Shame we've given up all our free time to work so we can buy worse alternatives.

Also "Access to information" is a funny one, most of the useful information is crowd sourced via direct sources like wikipedia and now indirect sources like LLM's regurgitating all human knowledge. Everything a company is se
