That's the plan, but to get to actual decentralization, one of the steps is for more people to actually move their PDS's somewhere other than Bluesky. (They are not self-hosting; Eurosky is doing it.)

Google Maps switched from storing location history in the cloud to storing it on your phone for "better privacy," so the geofencing warrant used in this case wouldn't work anymore. However, other apps might record location hi

Kent Beck compares unwritten code with a financial option to buy something at a given price. But that's just an analogy, and it can be taken too far. If you haven't written any code, do you have infinite options? You haven't

Coal is different. Natural gas is commonly used for peaker plants that provide electricity only when needed. They’re a better fit for using along with other intermittent sources.

To avoid the risk of exfiltration, we need to stop using .env for security. API keys needed when working in a repo should be handled by a proxy like ssh-agent, and we need something better than bearer auth.

I’m running a web server in a VM and I use it every day. It’s mostly idle, but it’s continually available. I wonder how much “continuous runtime” that is?

by skybrian 4mo ago
You don’t have to pay that much. I did pay a couple hundred for a while, but not since I switched to Chinese models along with a $20 ChatGPT subscription. Also, a single VM is pretty limiting.

Thanks! These tabs render badly on mobile, but you can click on “Functions” to hide it and then click the “MicroVMs” tab to show it. This pricing model looks very complicated and unfriendly for hobbyists. Maybe it’s cheaper than exe.dev’s $

Does anyone understand the pricing? The pricing page says “Lambda MicroVMs are priced per instance-second” but MicroVM’s aren’t otherwise mentioned.

That’s what you object to? I’d be surprised if RAM weren’t cheap again in 2-4 years. It takes time to build factories, but it’s not that bad. On the other hand, construction getting cheaper seems very unlikely.
