Or, they take both positions simultaneously: The beta was rolled out recklessly but also they haven't delivered what they promised. Turns out self-driving is harder than people thought - and a few upper middle class folks like myself

Photostructure ( https://photostructure.com/ ) lacks a lot of features google photos has - but one of those missing features is calling the police on you. I make tiny hardware that runs it very well and supports the project t

Objects and ideas do not have intrinsic value. Value is a subjective judgement of individuals at a particular time and place. We will find out the new price after the merge.

I think it would be easy to paint these guys as idiots or their community as a cult. But I have a feeling it’s all much more ephemeral than that. Probably 95% of the money came from individuals who got plenty of entertainment bang for their

Congrats to the Supabase team! Presence in general is a problem I'm tired of solving - so this will be a nice replacement for in-house solutions!

In our case we were a free-to-use-without-any-signup way of testing Kubernetes. You could just go to the site and spin up pods. Looking back, it was a bit insane. Anyways, you can imagine we had all sorts of attacks and miners or other abus

Haha "super fucked up" is a much better way of describing the "usual, rare" situations I was putting it into as well :P

Man, Ceph really doesn't get enough love. For all the distributed systems hype out there - be it Kubernetes or blockchains or serverless - the ol' rock solid distributed storage systems sat in the background iterating like crazy.

What’s great is that it’s not dependent. If the CDN is down - ghost degrades extremely well. It’s not pretty but it’s still readable. Excellent compromise for folks with weak internet connections. We’re pragmatic and not idealistic - othe

Well, "iknowwhatyoudownload.com" relies on you not using a VPN for your torrent applications. Luckily... https://kubesail.com/template/erulabs/deluge-vpn </shamelesspromo>

For me it's Nietzsche's "Thus spoke Zarathustra". I'm a different person each time I get through certain sections of that book. That said, I'm sure one of the hundreds of unread books I own is equally life chan

I understand what the logic is - I'm only suggesting that there is a gross disconnect between the capital available to grow small but profitable businesses and the capital available to gamble on a high-risk / high-reward situation

They didn't invent a new protocol or wireless standard. They're hosting a LoRaWAN and charging folks to use it. Presumably, Lime, for example, didn't actually need to change any hardware at all to use their service - their sc

I suppose they could have said "Monte Carlo Raytracer" but would that have really helped anyone?

Well, no ill will to the Helium people - it seems like a somewhat smart idea. I wouldn't call it a "Web3" use-case though - as many have mentioned - they could have done their own payment processing and it wouldn't chang

Of course there are! But tech is now sealed with screws for which the screwdrivers are not sold! When I was 22 I worked on old BMWs - today that old bmw is mostly driven by computers for which the code is not available. See the installation

The group with disposable income and a penchant for building PCs probably now has kids and a mortgage. Games for younger kids are extremely mobile friendly and don’t require any custom built gaming PC. I fear for our hermetically sealed com

The few times our hardware had reached the front page have basically made our startup viable. It was only two days ago, but https://pibox.io We figure HN is one of the toughest crowds. If we can make a hardware product y’all don

The pibox runs as a master and worker at the same time - and most folks just use them as individual servers (if they have two "clusters", they're just clusters of one server each). We really want to lean into improving this

For whatever it's worth, this is exactly why we use Kubernetes. The original idea behind our startup was to help sysadmins / programmers learn Kubernetes in a useful / friendly way. We've pivoted quite a bit to focus on

This is what the software side of our startup does! Checkout https://kubesail.com . The pibox is our hardware - but the software (which runs on any pc) solves the tunneling, backups, and other issues. You got the nail on the head

Yes! We’re built on top of Kubernetes and piboxes ship with our agent preinstalled. We sort of have two personalities: pibox is the hardware and some people hate the idea of it being bundled with software: they just want a tiny Linux server

It can be hard to express the value proposition. For a lot of people, it's a media server with some really neat torrent related apps. For others it's a photosharing box that doesn't share photos with anyone you don't wan

Our platform started as a "Bring your own computer!" - and AMD64 was much more popular then than ARM64 (for our users). Unfortunately, just saying "bring your own computer" is a technical barrier for lots of people (even
