https://diskprices.com/ is great for this

You have SATA or SAS to pick from. The CPU requirements for a storage server are not high. On a typical ATX board you have motherboard SATA and can put SAS controllers in the spare PCIe slots.

My first "NAS" was two 22TB hard drives in a ZFS pool on my motherboard SATA

My girlfriend's Facebook got stolen via a novel technique a few years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/facebook/comments/14nbp1a/major_fac...

Once the hacker got in, they enabled PGP with a random key to prevent the account recovery process from working. It took many, many months to get the account back after the attacker used the account to max out advertising spend. Meta did and does not care.

I realize now: why would they change anything? They made money off of the interaction

The government does subsidize basic banking, though?

This is a good joke because they spent $2.4B on marketing in FY25

There’s this crazy thing that happens where you need to use carbon to decarbonize.

Solar panels are made in factories where energy and inputs are cheaper and then shipped on diesel cargo ships to the rest of the world.

Our cars run on gas, so we need new electric ones, but the ships and car carriers are themselves… not electric yet.

Because energy is more expensive, everything is more expensive, including electrification.

MPEG-TS is used to contain h264 chunks for HLS. MPEG-DASH and the new CMAF standard use fMP4 containers instead. My personal take is that Media over QUIC (MoQ) should support both.

The design is skeuomorphic, modeled after a standard bifold wallet which gives your physical cards the same treatment.

My current wallet doesn't give me any affordances: https://grifiti.com/products/grifiti-band-joes-3-25-x-1-25-i...

A prepared `PRAGMA data_version` is likely quite cheap to run because it hits the same page every time…

…but some other push-based IPC mechanism would be a lot more battery friendly

Jack Ma comes to mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Ma#During_tech_crackdown

  Ma's voting rights were reduced from 50% to 6%.

It has been $20k for a while now and I’ve admittedly been looking for excuses to buy it

Tempted to buy cal.zone or cal.sucks just to add the paid features to cal.diy. They even made a list!

  Teams, Organizations, Insights, Workflows, SSO/SAML, and other EE-only features have been removed
cal.ws is $630 on Namecheap... the tokens required to build this are cheaper than the domain.

You have to install it to enable it, actually! Computer Use is also confined (read and write!) to apps that you've explicitly allowed.

Yes! and if you install Computer Use from the Codex App you can also use it from the Codex CLI

My initial instinct would be that the higher IQ someone is, the better they are able to do most things including control their impulses.

I love it! How would you position yourself relative to existing OSS products in the space like Filestash or Seafile? I'm trying to pick a solution at the moment, and the mobile experience matters a lot to me.

GitHub is free, but the runners are slow and increasingly unreliable.

I use Namespace (https://namespace.so) and I hook it up both to my personal GitHub as well as my personal Forgejo. I’m in the process of moving from the former to the latter!

I would just like to give this a big ol’ +1. I did not like Nix when I started. The ergonomics are hard to get around, but the power is honestly hard to overstate.

Coding agents actually help with a lot of the ergonomic issues. If you have an evaluation issue, it can be annoying to climb into nixpkgs to diagnose it. But codex will do that for you.

I’ve found agenix in particular to be really great addition for agents: secrets you can copy around without risk of accidental disclosure.

In a day I can now deploy Caddy, Authentik, Fleet, Headscale, Stalwart, jmap-webmail, Forgejo, SFTPGo, Immich, Grafana, Jaeger, PostHog, etc. and have them all work together. I can do this on a tiny VPS, and codex can actually estimate and test performance to minimize cost.

The equivalent Kubernetes setup wastes so much on isolation and a scheduler that is overkill for anything small.

Codex is using its app server protocol to build a nice client/server separation that I enjoy on top of the predictable Rust performance.

You can run a codex instance on machine A and connect the TUI to it from machine B. The same open source core and protocol is shared between the Codex app, VS Code and Xcode.

I think this has been around for a while:

  $ echo 'test' | xxd -i -n foo
  unsigned char foo[] = {
    0x74, 0x65, 0x73, 0x74, 0x0a
  };
  unsigned int foo_len = 5;
(edit: 30 years)

I take this back: UTM has Venus in there with KosmicKrisp – the works, as of January. Long live QEMU.
