Very cool! From what I can see you're allowing users to provision servers on Hetzner and then run their docker containers? I built a similar in-house project like this for a client. I used the Go docker SDK and had quite a few edge ca

For what it's worth, I created an MVP solution using that pipeline that took about 3 days. I used the Azure AI Speech service and SDK. Worked pretty good despite the obvious long pipeline you described.

35$ for a notebook? I got nice notebooks for $5 each at some discount store. To each his own but sometimes the product is _not_ worth the price.

Vim/neovim/emacs are all tools for power users, writing your own configuration and extensions is intended. The authors of these tools have no wish to capture market share or users. Use vscode if it fits you, no one minds or care

Automated backups, monitoring, a person "on call) to manage your instance and handle any issues? The Fosstodon admins run the moderation side, but masto.host (their service provider) is paid to keep the lights on.

The "issue" here is that this is an instance by friends that's growing too big. This isn't a business idea, or a platform, nor is it a venture or a company. Just like minded people who are on a shared instance. Public si

I'm curious why don't join another instance and simply follow people on mastodon.art - Is the local timeline that important for users? I'm genuinely asking since I'm on my own single user instance but follow plenty of pe

Yes, you're right on that point. I have read the ActivitPub spec but not the Mastodon API - so I'm probably wrong on the following part. Let's assume that we have 1000 users on a single server, posting a single message to tho

While I'm glad and support that people donate to their instance, I would encourage more people to start their own instance instead of donating. The only way the fediverse (and by extension the internet) can remain healthy is by introdu

If they end up removing the current UI I’ll end up cancelling my subscription. I’ve been a very happy paying customer for over 8 years now but this is ridiculous. The current UI has text (!!) tabs instead of bland non descriptive icons. It

And also not suitable for the “correct answer” model on SO. Two architectures can be equally correct but with a different set of trade offs.

While it would be nice to decide on best practices, I fear that the amount of cargo culting and NIH syndrome would quickly render the initiative pointless :-(

IdeaVim is really great. The only reason I prefer Neovim is because I have certain plugins setup that I’m used to.

I’m a big user of both Vim and Emacs and agree that they offer huge productivity boosts as editors. The speed that modal editing (Vim) gives you or the extensibility of Emacs is unparalleled. But at the same time I believe it’s naive to und

If I recall correctly, Ron used Lisp to compile Lisp code to machine code that could run on the embedded systems. Listen to https://corecursive.com/lisp-in-space-with-ron-garret/ for the full story.

For me, configuration a tool or system is actually a likeable experience. It's almost a hobby to keep tinkering with my various configs. Of course, that doesn't mean every tool should require massive amounts of time invested in co
