Cloudflare actually has this as a free tier feature so even if you don't want to use it for your site you can just setup a throwaway domain on Cloudflare and periodically copy the robots.txt they generate from your scraper allow/b

Yeah I had a manager grill me like crazy about short stints on my resume while I was interviewing for DigitalOcean. He told me it looked like I wasn't dedicated or trustworthy. He wasn't my manager so I brushed over it and 6 month

This isn't about timing the market by being clairvoyant about the timing of a madman's tariffs. This is about taking reasonable risk calculations as a small business with extremely high tariff exposure, when a president who did a

Yeah I think it's better to think of Tailscale as an access control company which is utilizing networks as the utility vector, not a network utility company that also has access controls.

It would be nice if there were a common way for essentially feature-complete SaaS businesses to carry on and maintain some expected level of quality, security updates, and support without endless pressure to expand revenue or slash costs.

If that's all the issues there are with the dataset, it is probably far and away the best dataset any researcher has ever used.

Does RAMP or CURE offer any possibility of conditional writes with CRDTs? I have had these papers on my list to read for months, specifically wondering if it could be applied to Garage https://dd.thekkedam.org/assets/do

When I was there, DigitalOcean was writing a complete replacement for the Ceph S3 gateway because its performance under high concurrency was awful. They just completely swapped out the whole service from the stack and wrote one in Go becaus

Could you use something like Fly's Corrosion to shard and distribute the SQLite data? It uses a CRDT reconciliation, which is familiar for Garage.

I would say if you're going to charge a pretty penny for the box, you have to make it ridiculously seamless to run every app the way a user wants, without issue. TrueNAS sort of half-accomplishes this but as soon as you have to start c

Kagi's Orion browser is 1.0 on Mac and working on the first full Linux release - it's built on WebKit. That WebKit is a "third party" dependency but it's still a break from the browser monoculture and it doesn'

Well it only needs to be Kafka-compatible, so personally I hope that things like RedPanda will turn out to be easier to run for this use case than actual Kafka. Having an S3-compatible store was already a fairly heavy dependency in terms of

The world of Auth has been made miserable with everything having to support OAuth2/LDAP/SSO/SAML etc., plus a million versions of access control, session configs, yadda yadda. Each of these has their own (usually legitimate)

There's certain cases, like deducting student loan interest paid, which these companies gate behind paid versions. So yes if you have extremely simple taxes you can usually file for free but even some really basic deductions are gated.

I think this blunkiness is in part because these things are often created and designed exclusively by frontend and full stack developers. IMO systems like these need strong backend developer influence, with highly scalable data models and

The only real hurdle to this now even for people with little computing knowledge is having a backup internet connection for when yours flakes. If it’s just a personal site, you can just let it go unavailable during an outage (and maybe rely

I prefer Tailscale to expose via a very cheap cloud VM with a reverse proxy running at this point, I don’t really trust Cloudflare as far as I can throw it.
