The vast majority of people care more about RAM, SSD and CPU only. Apple charges $200+ for an increment in each of these departments. Moreover, the speakers, keyboard, battery, webcam are almost caught up in quality with Macbooks when you l

``` Now spec it with 32GB of RAM, and try to get a bulk discount for ordering 1,000 of them. Try to get the price of said 32GB M4 Airs down to ~$700/laptop or less. Not going to happen with Apple. ``` Exactly. Thanks for explaining thi

Windows is not really just a gaming OS, at least after WSL was launched. Development experience using Windows Terminal + WSL has been pretty great when I did it 3 years ago - I can only imagine it being better today. Also note that the cost

I recently got into self-hosting Seafile and successfully set it up on my dedicated server. Had to think backup and security strategies quite a bit and ultimately I set up a bulletproof backup mechanism. Tested it pretty rigorously. Seafile

Man...... when did these press companies get so out of touch with reality that they wouldn't even pay respect to the fact that people are actually dying here. So sad.

No thank you - we already face enough racism in the USA. We don't want to deal with something that's 4 times as bad.

I have been using Jellyfin for two years now. I am yet another happy user with no issues. I am happy that all my data is secure and there is nothing shady to happen. It was not surprising when Plex had a huge investment coming from VCs who

Every message we send via this service still most likely goes through it's bots that try to gather user context. I'm guessing there will be some tricky legal wording in their T&C that wouldn't rule them out from being an

Yes. Exactly. The company wanted to be "modern" in terms of tech stack and they kept getting buried in the thought that using serverless would keep them cool. The PM was also close friends with the CEO so everyone blindly nods to

It will be so foolish of anyone to think that WhatsApp is a truly e2e encrypted messaging platform.

In my experience: Fuck serverless. If we're building anything bigger than a random script that does a small unit of work, never go for serverless. A company I recently worked for went with Serverless claiming that it would be less mai

Well, I mean, Tailscale is pretty easy overall. When client apps get blocked, you can literally hook up your router into Tailscale if needed, or you can run a headless version of Tailscale on your home server or the very machine you are on.

OP, you can rent a VPS from a reputable and cheap provider within the NA region - OVH, Vultr, Linode etc. are decent. Also check out lowendtalk.com Then, setup Tailscale on the server. You can VPN into it and essentially browse the internet

eBay routinely has listings for desktops with 8th to 10th gen intel CPUs and quite a bit of beefy hardware for under $200 overall. Some of them also come with GPUs in them.

Most of it still is server rendered.

Yes, this answer is correct. Although I use tapo cameras now, I played with eufy cameras in the beginning, and it seemed to have worked just as well.

In my router admin page, there is something called parental control. I used it to disable internet access for all the cameras. I've also used the DHCP settings to give all the cameras static IPs as well.

Many more round trips to the server is okay - it is the server after all and it is easy to scale it.

For most use-cases, Serverless Postgres is a nasty thing in my experience. It is way too slow and has a lot of latency over the wire, even for production apps. The scaling requirement doesn't usually happen to startups until they hit
