Yes, this is the price increase I was talking about. I aggressively delete emails or I'd search back through my emails to give you exact dates, but it was communicated at least 3 times prior to the increase and it was for sure at least 2 months ago and probably more than that. Maybe your spam filter caught the emails? Not sure how else you could have missed the message.

Are you a Hetzner customer? I'm a Hetzner customer, and my prices did not increase by 3x (it was more like 1.25x) and the price increase was communicated months in advance and several times. I am running stuff on their older infra, so maybe they handled it differently? When hardwares price go up at least 4x for storage and ram, I don't see how you can avoid price increases and they are still one of the cheaper/cheapest options for what I need.

IMHO an underrated comment. The CCP isn't going to break down my door in the middle of the night, but I'm sure I'm on lists at the FBI and ATF just for my political org memberships alone. I think a foreign actor is more likely to use compromised hardware to create service interruptions and general chaos in the event they are attacked by our government, not come put me in a gulag.

The only thing I'm missing right now that would be a nice to have is a wifi card so I can ditch my access point. My hardware isn't open source by any means, but my reliance on non-free networking code is minimal.

The Oracle business model is to rope you into a contract, set you up for failure, ignore you until you violate a license agreement, then sue you and rope you into another contract to avoid the lawsuit. If you're an Oracle customer, prepare to get sued... for something... anything really.

Honestly, this is the best thing that's come along on HN in a while. I was feeling kinda down, but this made my day. And it instantly recognized my m-audio keystation, a feat that Logic could not perform.

For terminal text editing I've switched everything over to helix, highly recommended. Basically no config other than I'll change the theme.

Unfortunately I'm still trying to figure out my AI workflow. Right now it's a mix of Cursor, Claude Code, and JetBrains Rider. I mainly use Cursor for the heavy AI lifting and then switch to Rider and Claude Code for tweaking and debugging. If Cursor didn't completely suck at .NET debug, I might just be able to use it alone.

Congratulations, you just invented the open web circa 2006.

I grind up my 3d printing waste and sprinkle it out my window as I drive down the road, so I got you covered.
