Now maybe I'll get some backlash for this, but I can't square this attitude I hear again and again: > Hyper-growth at any cost was out of the question, because it incentivizes profit over purpose and extractive practices toward

For whatever it’s worth, my startup kubesail.com exists to solve exactly these problems :)

It's part of kubesail.com, which helps folks host at home (but works with any kubernetes cluster). We use restic as part of the backup service which launches a container on your machine to locally encrypt and then upload data. Restic w

I built our backup service for our users on top of restic! Works great :)

AI is almost certainly an easy scapegoat here. Vastly more likely one of Facebook's tens of thousands of human moderators is sympathetic to the Vietnamese government (or just their -type- of government) and wanted to hide a viral video

Ah, this article is for you! Why adding an optional feature in a free app that tons of users want badly is "exploitative grift" I'm not sure I'll ever be able to understand.

“Crypto bros”, “crypto stans”, misunderstanding about transaction costs, loads of fear. Really just, such a fresh and new take. Who are these articles for?

Actually my co-founder who is a tab-hoarder has had a few issues. I am a tab minimalist so you're probably right!

Huh I have an 8GB air and I run Kubernetes locally and develop a fairly complex system with Skaffold on it (~10 services). Thing is a beast, had no problems at all, but one does need to be aware one is not on the 128GB-of-RAM workstation :P

Hah that is interesting. I don't think it changes my point tho - maybe just makes smoking a bad example. However, I was using it as a proxy for "anything that increases your health-care costs".

In spirit, I agree, but just in terms of economic language, the "social engineer" by definition has to raise funds non-voluntarily. You're 100% right, we're _all_ social engineers - but if you raise your funds voluntaril

I’ve been pretty blown away by the results from a self hosted Whoogle-search instance - tho I haven’t checked where it’s sourcing it’s results from.

Not pushing one way or the other, but it's important to consider the framing: Ignoring the second-hand smoke complexity for a moment, if everyone pays for every one else's health, then of course we should ban or tax cigarettes and

Hey this is sort of the mirror opposite of my startup (we try to bring the internet to your home-pi, rather than ship your home-pi to a datacenter!). Neat tho! I'm not entirely sure it's that power efficient versus a carved up hyp

Well, not so fast, considering the entire philosophy of the first economist I mentioned is that "irrational exuberance" doesn't exist and is exclusively used as a way of judging other peoples actions for the purposes of socia

The classic admonition - “all your wealth is ill gotten and all mine is hard-won”. I’m not filthy rich but I made decent money off crypto because I spent a huge amount of my adolescent life with my face buried in Mises and Keynes and Milton

This is exactly what I’m trying to fix - and why I quit a job at Stripe to do it. We had mainframes, we had data centers, we have the cloud - and now folks are talking about fixing the internet with blockchains. What we really need is more

This is an interesting suggestion. We actually do plan on selling the case separately, so you could just buy the "Hacker bundle" and the case and you'd be good to go. You can see the customization we plan to offer over at ht

We're starting with technical users - if we can't get programmers to love home-hosting there isn't much hope for the average user. As we go, we're very focused on making sure people who have no idea what Debian is can ma

Ah fair enough - we are also releasing our case's 3D files so you can easily print your own. I don't believe it's mentioned anywhere, but we're also planning on selling the cases on their own.

If it's not clear on the kickstarter, there is a $100 bundle that only includes the custom components, and lets you bring your own drives and CM4!

This is exactly the goal - a box that anyone could buy, plug-in, click a few buttons, and get an on-the-internet service (like PhotoPrism or Plex) ready to roll. Bonus if they can easily control access, invite friends, and also if it's

Ohhh yes, we agree strongly. We don't expect to be beating SoftIron.com or anything, but we have some ambitious plans for home-hosting!

It's already nice and easy - users can even add custom domains on our free-tier currently!

PiBox is built by us, KubeSail! We're a YC S19 company that focuses on home-hosting and shipping open-source software to customers. Happy to answer any questions!

For whatever it’s worth my startup began life as a multi tenant kubernetes provider. We have a ton of custom controls - and for example do not allow this “custom snippet” directive at all. We spent a very long time locking down as much of t
