The author talks about the effort of hosting something more heavyweight like Gitlab. Having recently decided to self-host a Gitea instance, I was happy to find how ridiculously easy it is to get this up and running. I'm not hosting thi

Yeah, I mentally sum this up as the "Just Works" factor. As a happy Tailscale user, it's easy to see why it's so popular. I do think this simplicity is exactly what contributes to those weird and non-standard configurati

What are the primary downsides of self-hosting this? The top issues that come to mind: 1. Maintaining high availability 2. Dealing with patches/upgrades But I'm also really curious how likely a self-hosted instance is to be an att

On HN, I think a better question is exactly the opposite: why not?! I’ve built bizarre things that no one will use purely to learn about things. Many projects are about the process itself and less about the outcome. Every one of those “usel

Yes, potentially a very bad thing if it accelerates isolationist policies and further erodes US/world relations. The sentiment I’ve seen increasingly that goes something like “but they’re freeloading” completely misses the nuance of de

I think there are a few fallacies at play here: 1. Anthropomorphizing the kind of “influence” and “learning” these tools are doing, which is quite unrelated to the human process 2. Underrepresenting the massive differences in scale when com

Having the exact opposite experience is how I realized that a major relocation is in my relatively near future. The longer the adventure, the more disconnected and odd home would feel upon return. My family/friend situation is most lik

If you’re looking for alternate browsers, at least consider a Firefox fork (LibreWolf, Floorp, etc.) Moving to a Chromium derivative seems completely counterproductive in the big picture and feeds the Chrome beast. While I am no fan of Mozi

If you’re philosophically opposed to what Firefox is doing, Firefox forks like LibreWolf, Floorp, etc. seem like a better place to turn. Moving to Brave is just supporting a Chrome monoculture in the long run, and the problems with Chrome a

There are also Firefox forks such as WaterFox, LibreWolf and Floorp. These seem like a more direct migration path for someone wanting to move off of Firefox.

Progress if often gradual and the result of continuous pressure over long periods of time. Not everyone will respond to an appeal to empathy, but I don't think "we'd have already seen it work" is a framing that makes sen

Good/bad faith isn't just about one's preference about a form of argument, but can also completely change the validity of the underlying argument. The point here is that bad faith is doing exactly that: making the legitimacy
