I remember a time when promises meant something. Lots of epics in human time (Greek, Hindu), people would stick to their word and commitment was respected. Written word was much more powerful than spoken. People appreciated depth. Wish we c

I used Linux first as a 14 year old kid in the 90s who found Win$ows to become slow overtime and we couldn't afford a new computer. Fell in love with Linux instantly given the customization and efficiency. Not needing things like an An

Depends on who is consuming your API. Are they internal, maybe ok. Anything else, you likely need a transformation layer and also take into account Auth, rate limiting etc. PostgREST sounds like giving read only access to your DB and I doub

Best analogy for me is juice vs fruit. Its easy to gulp down 2 glasses of Orange juice, but cannot eat 8 oranges. Unprocessed food usually is more wholesome and makes you feel satiated.

Extremes choices are usually bad. Do nothing on Cloud, Do everything on Cloud... An ideal middleground is to do what you can with a VPS and offload things like Database (Supabase etc), emails to Cloud Providers. You can skip the VPS and go

What's the easiest way for an H1b holder to work on their own startup and control their company? I've heard of VC like Unshackled, but taking VC seed is already shackling myself. I'm looking more for a solution where I'd

Go's error handling is explicit which enforces the need to handle whereas other languages leave it to the developer. More like here's the mess take care of it vs everything looks clean but its really swept all under the rug and c

I will take whatever is the most stable. I don't need a lot of feature, just a timeline and gallery with albums. Immich fits it for now, but it is way too focused on piling features and is bleeding edge. I hope memories has stability a

The simplest solution is the best when it comes to backups (and almost everything). Since you don't need always online, we can eliminate cloud and NAS. Use a 8Tb portable Drives as your backup is enough. With more elimination and compr

Backblaze is cloud and suffers the major limitation of being expensive for an individual. The case for NAS for personal backup is getting stronger every day. For anything > 1TB, for personal backup or sync, a NAS is $400 investment where

Did the exact same thing, sublime shortcut to add a datetime stamp (Python command) whenever I needed it. Moved to Obsidian recently and the daily note takes care of that. The folder system helps a bit with organizing recurring themes that

There's definitely an audience for Framework. But for a laptop/mini-pc user who likes to keep their tech for 7+ years and usually opt for no special graphics. A mini-pc works great for me. Lot of them have good Linux compatibility

Damn, I didn't know usb on monitor was a thing. This could work for me if I get a new monitor since I use a single display for multiple boxes. Maybe I could try Synergy too with the ddccontrol command

I use a single monitor, keyboard, mouse for both work and personal and need to switch between these pain free. I haven't come across a seamless solution as most of the software ones rely on mulitiple displays. My current solution is 3

Wholly agree. Basic necessities Food, Water, Shelter, HealthCare etc should not be left to the whims of the free market. It isn't even hard to fix in the US where land is still plenty but artificially controlled by regulations as oppos

I don't think supply and demand would autofix the issue. When a baseline is set, everyone believes it to be the new price. Same as how when a lie is repeated multiple times, it can dangerously become the false truth.
