The title is click bait. It seems all note taking applications now need to be Roam Research alternatives. And then you get the entourage of other mentions (Hi, Obsidian.)

The Readme for the linked repo mentions this note taking system was inspired by Roam Research. That doesn't mean it's a Roam Research alternative.

Personally, I like VSC but I find it quickly gets cluttered and I'm trying to pare back the things I use it for.

I also often find myself struggling with the VSC UI for file handling. I don't know why. I often find myself opening another editor / file manager to use along with VSC. It seems error prone to me.

I appreciate the disclaimers at the end:

> I would like to put emphasis on the fact that we are a micro-SaaS product that solves a small and specific use case and therefore this kind of AWS setup worked for us. This may not work for big organisations or products where the traffic is erratic.

> This setup will also not work for folks who have a ton of stuff to do already and would prefer to use managed services and not take the additional headache of monitoring, maintaining and provisioning hardware resources on a regular basis because this has a time cost to it.

It is refreshing to see a post that doesn't pretend as though its recommendations are the holy grail for anyone and everyone.

I personally prefer saving time and effort, over a ~$500 monetary discount. But it's nice to read posts like these and learn more about alternatives such as Lightsail.

Nothing. I'm pointing out the agency did not phrase it as strongly as you did for people who can't or don't want to read the article.

> This is why the comment section exists, to work towards to better understanding what is going on. Unless you are from Russia trying to sow doubt, you have to give a plausible alternative that fits the data. Saying it's possible it's something else is just sowing disinformation.

I'm no expert and not capable of judging whether people commenting know what they're talking about or not. All I see from official sources is that experts are saying that a leak from Western Russia is a likely possibility. I can wait until more concrete information comes out to make a judgement.

I wonder if these two are connected. The people I know who have accomplished things are rarely those who look backwards or are quick to lose faith in others, young or old.

Of course there is idealism out there. Tons of it. The eco system is just seriously bigger now, and the money grabbers get most of the headlines so you have to keep up and know where to look.
Do you use reddit on a mobile browser?
Sorry to be specific what I meant was that iOS14 has an API to read pulseox readings from an Apple Watch and then you can do what you want with it (like make an app to alert on it).

Presumably yes it would need support in WatchOS 7.
I disagree. Start with LightSail customize later.

Too many startups starts with Kubernetes, microservices putting a lot of engineering into infrastruture when they should worry about product market fit and simple server would just do fine.
Heck yes. Don't just display the information, let's instead un-fade into visibility so the users have to wait... Good point.

NB. these stupidities are a lot harder to do without jscript, which is another reason I'm against js.
New reddit must be the slowest website out there, on mobile where I'm not logged in it takes ages to load. Then ages to kill all sort of pop ups that force me to use their app. I believe they don't care about UX and speed of the site, it's all about the app. They measure app downloads, not the experience on the site.

There will be many people migrating to other services once Roam stops being free. This seems like a promising alternative.

In theory that sounds reasonable. In practice the ability to completely manage the system via a web console and APIs makes a big difference.

If you end up in the lightsail world and you are not utilising Amazon's other services then its probably cheaper to do this with another provider. Someone like Contabo or Hetzner will get you VMs at substantially less cost with similar fixed hardware and just give you the box but for a lot less a month. At these low scales with a completely open source stack Amazon isn't good value in my opinion. It is as you grow and it provides the scale that it becomes valuable.

Almost certainly. A lot of groups have shown low volume systems have been remarkably cheap using lambda's compared to trying to do the same thing in a VM with EC2/lightsail. Whether that is genuinely because it is that much cheaper for Amazon or whether it is trying to lock people into the platform I don't know.
This is either misinformed or just directly a bad faith argument. Leaving these communities around is, indeed, very much like letting a wound fester. There isn't really any doubt now that people can use platforms to radicalize others to extreme and often dangerous viewpoints. What's being banned is not a rational space for discussion between reasoned gentlemen, it's a place where people escalate emotions and whip each other into a frenzy. They're not banning earnest discussions of World War II history, they're banning "hey let's role play Nazis semi-ironically until one of us flinches and shoots someone in real life."

Wind musical instrument is also a great way for learning how to breathe. I have started learning flute in my twenties and found out that I do not breathe properly. Find a good teacher. Yoga also helps.

With flutes, there are many, I have end up with shakuhachi, which I use in its original context, as a tool for meditation. When playing meditatively, it is easier to concentrate on your posture and breath, going through your body again and again, removing any unnecessary tensions. You can be more "in" the body, less in your head. Great practice!

Just playing it for 20 minutes changes your mood. Good luck!
You could just as well start with one cheap dedicated server and then migrate to the cloud once you know that you need it.

For example, one of my companies is doing hosting and image delivery services for photographers. I started it on one dedicated server, and now 10+ years later it's running on 3 dedicated servers.

My hoster does backups and OS upgrades, so there was never any reason to go into the cloud. Except maybe, if I wanted to burn cash on slow performance ;)

We need better Modified Gravity theories, because 99% of the time people say "waa MOND was disproven already", yeah, actually "The MOND theory" (the modified gravity that everyone calls MOND) doesn't work out.

Doesn't mean any other formulation wouldn't work out.
> all the benefits that cloud proponents usually talk about, like only paying for what you actually use or scaling up and down on demand.

That's a trope that I have never seen in practise.

A company might have some small percentage of clusters that autoscale, but usually there's a bunch of servers that don't.

Also, when AWS has control plane problems, autoscaling doesn't work, you get swamped, your health checks fail, and you lose all your servers and you're hosed. So it's better to always over-provision in the first place.

The difference would be:

- They could have much better service

- And bring down their expenses by at least half again

I used lightsail, and it's a terrible service.

It is very expensive (still) compared to other hosting providers.

And if your instance ever go out of memory, it become unresponsive for as long as you don't go manually restart it.

On other providers that I use, the OS would just "sacrifice child" (kill the process) and restart it.

It's not ideal, but much better than having to go there yourself to restart the whole thing.
Some subreddits were banned because other disliked the content. Like watchpeopledie. While the sub was disgusting banning it was for me the last nail in the coffin of social networks which decide what is the best for me.

I have never needed it, but the hosting provider which I use actually has an API that you can use to reboot servers into different OS images, or trigger hardware resets, or do an kvm access.

https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Robot_Webservice/en

But honestly, if you have only one server, what do you need an API for? It'll be much faster to just configure things by hand. It's not like you'll switch servers very often. Or at least the original article says that they committed to monthly cancelation terms.
This is interesting. Do you have (or know of) a published comparison somewhere?
I don't view lemmy as I did voat.

What model? A monthly fee?

As opposed to what? Free? Getting investors who will pay for development while the service monetizes the users? It's unfortunate that this is what users have come to expect. That we feel should be getting free usage of a service when the developers have bills to pay just like everyone else, in addition to the cloud usage costs.

The people complaining about monthly fee in that three are target users for nobody but Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Try antennapod, it's libre software

Since they are serving about 250 requests per second, Lambdas might end up being more expensive, factor in an expensive DynamoDB and that monthly AWS bill looks scary.
Sincerely hope they will manage to handle this. I trusted them from the start and have my three years' savings there. What a stupidity.
But doesn't it have to have some charge to interact with matter in some way so as to achieve the observed effects that show that gravity from normal matter is inadequate to explain how things move on a macro scale?
Same here. Heroku offers auto-scaling for the web dynos, but they advise you to do near-realtime tasks like the thumbnails for image uploads using background workers, for which there is no Auto-scaling.
A lot of people here seem confused why this is needed or wanted with WebRTC. I sat in the BOF session at IETF 106 in Singapore last year when we talked about this. Happy to answer any questions as I understand them. (Though I'm no expert.)

I can't find the video link, but the slides from that session are here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/106/materials/slides-10...

Webtransport is designed as a 'QUIC-native' client-server communication protocol to replace websockets. You can think of it like websockets but better (faster handshake, it reuses the http2 / QUIC connection, and you can relax websocket's reliability & ordering constraints). Or you can think of it as WebRTC, except way simpler for the 95% case where you want to communicate server/client.

I'm excited about it for browser based video games.

It looks complicated, but there's very little thats new here for browsers and web servers to implement. Remember QUIC is already built on top of UDP, and internally, QUIC supports basically all of webtransport's features natively. Webtransport mostly just re-exposes many of QUIC's features to applications. Browsers and HTTP servers are adding all that functionality anyway - so we may as well take advantage of it in our web applications.

My favorite criticism voiced at the IETF was the name - webtransport has nothing to do with the web, and its not a transport. Its mostly just an application API around some of QUIC's features, with fallbacks for HTTP 1.1 and HTTP2.

Notes on Web Audio API
> I’m wondering if Lambdas and DynamoDB would be competitive to this setup.

Depends, but it's important to know the details.

Lambdas are used for 2 things in AWS:

1) Glue for managing services and events. (Required for advanced AWS mgmt.)

2) User applications. Lambdas have improved over time, but initially had all kinds of limitations (startup time, database access, 15 minute job limits, etc.)

DynamoDB has also improved a lot. Initially hot keys could cost you a lot of money. Some companies have designed their applications to use it in a way that absolutely no administration is required, reducing DBAs and Ops people.

In “Treat Your Own Back” (https://www.amazon.com/Treat-Your-Back-Robin-McKenzie/dp/098...), the author—a physiotherapist—accidentally leaves a back pain patient face down on an examination table with their back slightly hyperextended (i.e. head and upper back slightly above prone position). They were horrified that they’d harmed the patient, but instead the patient felt completely relieved of their pain. This is the story of how the McKenzie method (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/McKenzie_method) was discovered. Lying prone is the core position of the method (in addition to progressive back extensions), and it actually works surprisingly well for me.
The wording seems really clear. They know, but identifying the source would be an inherently political action, and it's not part of the purpose of their organisation to take that sort of action.

> That’s a silly argument, we could build pyramids 100 times bigger than the Egyptian ones if we wanted to today, and we can build engines that are far more efficient and powerful than the Apollo ones.

You seemed to have missed a couple of points there. Of course we can build the pyramids, but can we do it with the same level of technology that we think they had? Of course we can build better engines than the Apollo ones but can we recreate exactly those? These were the questions post to highlight that we have lost knowledge before.

That only restricts the blast radius to one key.

One is unawares of when, how, and for what purposes that key is used - as forwarding the key means it's available for use by any user process (as the mechanism behind the forwarding is user-owned) or root (as root can see everything).

Touch-to-authorize helps mitigate that.

If one seees the prompt come up when they've just performed a git pull, it's expected and likely non-malicious. Allow.

I've been using cgroups since way before docker made them cool exactly for this: if one process goes rogue on memory use, make sure only exactly that one crashes.

And yes, I fully agree with you. In addition to the other disadvantages, Lightsail also shifts the burden of process monitoring and management onto you.
Language is infinite but the generating process (i.e. our brains or computers) are finite. The generators come in two flavors: rigid rule based (like Chomsky suggests) or stochastic (more modern view). The stochastic generators are obviously more powerful but difficult to "understand". Unfortunately, we associate the word "understand" with ability to have complete list of static rules. In my opinion, probabilistic rules are also as much "understable". Then there is dynamical probabilistic generators which I think our brains aren't evolved enough to truly "understand".

I think it tries to solve a problem reddit doesn't have. Reddit has a content parity problem, by making content distributed just makes the community stops growing.

A new reddit alternative should think what makes Reddit useful in the first place. A community drive social bookmarking. Today's Internet have large volume of info hidden behind paywalls and walled gardens, something like Thread Reader App could replace Reddit from ground zero.
Thank you for the great explanation :)
Can you recreate the exact breakfast I just made? Can you crack an egg the same way twice? Entropy always increases.

It's knowledge that we don't necessarily need, if we really needed to made pyramids in the same way, we'd figure it out.
I use docker. And yes, it normally just take care of restarting the app whenever something goes wrong.

But somehow on lightsail (only), the machine just goes completely unresponsive instead.

One more odd thing that I found - maybe this is anecdotal - Developers who design interfaces based on OTS frameworks (Eg. Bootstrap) have a much better sense of UX than dedicated UX designers.

I have a question: (it may not be related to this article in any other sense aside from "really lightweight" use of AWS...

I would like to have a workflow of really lightweight QR/barcode transactions... but with what seems to me currently a complex implementation:

1. you have a prescribed barcode ParentA
2. you scan that barcode and create a QR code ParentB
2.a: you ascribe that QR to an object ChildA
3.n: you have that ChildA go through many iterations
3.n+: ChildA may be conjoined with ChildB,C,D etc... -- but I want an iterative QR code that follows the family tree back to parent A and keeps history of all transitions...
