I did not know that killed shorts. Good to know! The only thing is I don't find the home tab too addicting and I feel like it can be nice for when I'm getting into a completely new topic.

For example, I'm just getting into music production so I have no idea who to subscribe to and just searching music production gives me way too much content. I had this show up on my home page which I thought was really helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT66Qwms-Mw&t=1572s

Maybe I should selectively turn it on and off, because yeah usually it's way too aggressive unless it's a new topic. I really wish social media sites gave more control over the algorithm. Like I just want to talk to an LLM and tell it what type of algorithm I want. More tame algorithm goes against their business model though so maybe I'll have to build it myself :)
Complex arrangements _are_ fragile.

There is no magic environment that can fix this for you. If you feel you've seen one, then you've focused on the parts of it that were important to you, while ignoring the parts of it everyone else actually needs.
Ah, I see.

I've never been in a situation where adding db crud was its own user story. Usually, we group this and the button (and the metrics necessary to trask feature use) in a single item, and pair people so it can be shipped in one go.

Indie hacking has gone mainstream with the rise of inflation, which makes a lot of the content incredibly banal and formulaic.

This where automation and scale make a huge difference. A bike can absolutely be more labour intensive to build a single unit than a car, especially when said car is being built by a company with expertise in design for manufacture, and production automation.

Cars a built using huge injection moulded plastics components that are trivial to automate at scale, and metal bodies carefully crafted to make automated assembly trivial. Plus there will be a huge investment into fixtures and assembly processes that effectively reduce the human labour to little more than biological end effectors. Little operator skill or experience is needed for high productivity.

Compare that to bike frames which haven’t been optimised to automated mass production, and where manual welding is primary construction methodology. I can absolutely guarantee that a vaguely welder costs substantially more than someone that just needs to operate a fancy screwdriver. Welding requires significant skill and experience to do productivity, and compensated appropriately. Welders aren’t trivially fungible, screw driver operators are.

If don’t think that labour is the reason for the cost of cargo bikes. Then why don’t make contribution and tells us where you think the cost comes from, and why competitors haven’t sprung up to reduce that cost and make a killing.
Nintendo has shut down a bunch of fan games in the past (e.g. Pokemon Uranium) but I have never heard of any DMCA request on Mario rom hacks. I think it speaks for itself here.

Thanks for the reply.

I don’t understand the downvotes. I am always baffled when statements are downvoted.
Talking off the cuff, it feels to me like Apple is trying/tried to hail back to the early days of the Mac where there is no hierarchical file system and "files" concept is minimized in favor of apps that correspond 1:1 with a file to edit or view.

I'd say past 40 years proves this model is not what people want, but they are so persistent about not doing a normal file-focused UI that it feels intentional. Like some directive from Steve before he passed.
It's more about cheap parts - low quality alloys and such will wear at a much higher rate. I killed a Hope cassette in 3 weeks (yes, actually), for example, but a high-end SRAM cassette has lasted me 2 full seasons.

So in some ways, the higher-end stuff can last a very long time.

Some brands (eg: Campy) provide for much better mid-level gear than others (SRAM), but it really depends on the model and the year. Old mid-tier Shimano gear (stx-rc / lx) used to last forever and be a very decent value offering, but times have changed somewhat.

Luckily the prevalence of eBikes is making strong and reliable gear available for us non-eBikers.

Depends on your workers and also the kind of company you are. If you're building a privacy-conscious product and you've recruited people that share the same values, they'd applaud you not going for a cloud solution. I certainly would.

I think this viewpoint would be more common here in Europe.

> You're not going to take your cargo bike on a weekend 200km trip or to visit family on the other side of the state/country unless you're bent on doing exactly that.

How many times are those types of trips done, as compared to 'just' running errands around town? What are the fixed costs you are incurring for those presumably occasional occurrences, versus optimizing for the more likely common cases?

It's like the folks who buy pickup trucks "for towing", but:

> According to Axios, 63% of Ford F-150 drivers barely use their trucks for towing. 29% admitted to towing occasionally, while just 7% regularly tow. When properly equipped, many F-150 models can pull around 13,000 pounds.

> However, 28% of drivers say they use the truck for hauling. Meanwhile, 41% take advantage of the F-150’s hauling capabilities once in a while, and 32% are indifferent. It’s a shame considering all F-150 models can haul about 2,000 pounds.

Perhaps buy for what you actually do, and rent for when you need 'extra' capabilities.

The biggest problem with making Mastodon better is exactly that: anyone who dares suggest the way it's always been has a flaw will quickly be shouted down by people telling them that they're an idiot who clearly doesn't understand that the shortcoming is a feature.
If you are going by the Nextcloud route, they have an enterprise solution[0] and you can pay a bit to them to avoid some worries.

IMHO, having the diversity in storage and computing would help the current tech world a lot.

At our startup, we rely on nextcloud (self hosted on a root server from a German hosting provider) + libre office for all of the more „mundane“ parts of our business. To be fair though, we’re in a very niche market (offshore wind) running at a very different speed compared to your regular startup. It’s been a conscious choice to run everything on foss and self host as much as we can. Big plus for nextcloud: the sync client works reliably even on intermittent and extremely slow connections (offshore). The overhead of maintaining nextcloud ourselves is manageable (yet another docker container) and it’s been astonishingly reliable ever since we got started. For us, maintaining control over data is paramount, so it matters greatly to us. If one day the overhead should become too much, I’d probably move our nextcloud over to a nextcloud provider.
Usual exploits = using the normal tools to look for buffer overflows and such by attacking the running system and compiled binaries.

Keys to the castle = the ability to also look in the source code for vulnerabilities, run static analysis, fuzzing but also architectural flaws. Basically use extra methods that you can’t do on the running system or binaries. You would expect some tools to be run already by the authors but some tools will find things that others don’t.

Bad actors have an incentive to audit the code (find vulnerabilities) since they were in the process of attacking the system anyway, so why not look at the source? You also have state level attackers who are getting paid to find these sort of things, and others looking to sell 0-days.

Who are good actors? Who is willing to spend their time finding and fixing bugs? There are definitely people doing it out of the kindness of their heart, and others might be researchers and so on, maybe some companies that use the software - but you are relying on these outnumbering the bad actors.

I think there will always be bad actors, and assuming that there is an army of good actors watching your back might not always be correct. But happy to hear other angles, which is why I opened (and accidentally closed) the conversation.
Zig also much better at memory as far as I can tell. Only reason I found out about it was some random twitch clip I can't remember, but parts of zig seem to be more readable and easier to learn than rust. Granted I will not stop loving the C language even as someone who has only begun to learn C programming but I do recognise the need for secure software.

Check out this blog on zig memory safety:
https://www.scattered-thoughts.net/writing/how-safe-is-zig/

(Not my blog, just a blog I found that discusses zig)

Zig is not at 1.0 yet so its a bit behind rust from what iv seen online. One I manage to get C under my belt and get good at writing los level stuff in that language, I might attempt to learn rust or zig.
Wrong angle.
Old school dinosaur that still advocates for private cloud solutions, here.

Swallow your pride or curiosity on rolling your own kit and accept the reality that OneDrive/Google Drive/Dropbox/Box.com/et al are going to be better for your needs. The single biggest benefit of SaaS products are their flexibility to provide service when you can't or don't want to support the deployments yourselves, which is basically startup mode.

Once you're off your feet and have an honest-to-god Enterprise IT team with a budget, let us deal with it. They'll likely keep end-user storage in a Collab Suite (M365, GWorkspace) unless there's a specific advantage or requirement for your business needs in running it on-prem.

Everything is a tool, and the use-case of these tools is in freeing you to solve the really hard problems of startups, i.e. survival, success, and sale/solvency.
I fully agree with you, it is video junk food. People spend a lot of money on junk food as well. They value it.

Whether this is good or bad for society is a different question. Markets have never been able to solve that problem.
What's the other philosophy I wonder?
Driven by my ideals and my previous horrendous experience dealing with Microsoft and Google support, I've been a strong advocate for self-hosting in my organization. I do not think companies should put something as valuable as their collaboration and communication in the hands of a company as inconsistent as Google or Microsoft.

However, ideals aside. In many large companies, using Microsoft or Google products can also be a compliance headache (that is, if you're outside the US). A larger corp is more likely to be hit with such issues than a small startup.

Also, self hosting of course requires resources. I'm not talking about compute, in my experience that is very negligible. It of course requires people to keep stuff up to date and learn how to use it to its fullest extent. A larger enterprise can more easily afford this effort than a small startup. Even considering my idealistic stance, it is hard to ignore the low cost of entry as well as the ease of getting started with the big cloud offers.
Time dependent, plants give off O2 in the evening. The co2 is released by the micro organisms which are bacterial and fungal and breathe O2 just like us.
Not a chance. iOS installs are cryptographically bound to the hardware itself installed on. It’s not possible to get an iPhone to boot an iOS install without an Apple server providing that cryptographic binding.
I would assume that the less vanilla a given hack is, the likelier it is that the patch is actually a full fledged ROM. If all of the code, textures and music have been replaced, there isn't anything left.

Running a service is one thing. Keeping it reliable and secure is another. Especially if you are a start-up. You have limited capital and even more limited developer time. Don't waste either on building your own infrastructure.

If you are worried about someone stealing your ideas, don't be. First, nobody cares about what you have until you make it big, which is going to happen a long time from now if ever. Second, the major services all provide enterprise deals that ensure privacy, enough that the largest companies in the world and many governments rely on them. You are far more likely to be hacked if you try to roll your own than if you use a popular service - especially if you aren't an experienced IT admin.

If you are in a start-up you want to put your full focus on your product - don't waste time on infrastructure. Use popular online services, use popular brands for hardware, use popular languages and popular libraries. Use anything you can to get you going as quickly and as painlessly as possible so you can focus on building your product and your business. That's going to be hard enough.

I say this as someone who worked with a start-up from inception to being acquired 10 years later. I was the guy building the networks and the servers and the desktops. We cobbled together our own systems from white box parts and using free software that required lots of setup and maintenance. I spent a lot of my time maintaining that stuff instead of working on our products. When we got acquired, the first thing they did was throw all that stuff out and switch to their existing systems that were all the well regarded name brands that you know. Since then, everything just works.

Perfect is the enemy of the good: just because you can't cycle everyday, twelve months of the year, doesn't mean you shouldn't perhaps cycle for 6/8/10 months of the years when it is "possible".

A related term is "audience capture". When you do things based on the approval of your followers, you can end up catering to some weird niches.

They didn’t do federation with XMPP. At best you could use Pidgin or other XMPP clients. That doesn’t count as any form of embrace.

XMPP is a needlessly complex protocol with very poor organization and planning that, in the process of trying to cater to everyone, catered to nobody except a vocal aspirational group online.

Simply put, XMPP killed XMPP.
Yes, I think Zig is the most suitable language (of Zig, Rust, Go, ...) to replace C in various (systems-related) contexts including embedded/RTOS.
Considering how you formulated your reply, I'm gonna guess you're the one with the political axe to grind. No need to project it on me, I don't have anything against nuclear.

You want to use another definition, that's fine by me. I'll stick to the generally accepted ones.
In 2024 alone Intel is allocating 23 billion for capital expenditure. 5 billion from Apollo doesn’t sound like it moves the needle much.

This isn’t a judgement on the fundamentals of the deal (I don’t have the details and it may actually make a lot of sense) but Intel is a massive company. Most PE firms - even the whales like Blackstone and Apollo - don’t usually have the firepower, willingness, or both to deal with companies the size of Intel.
What is an expiration date if not a scheduled deletion date? Is it a soft-deletion? It's clearly ambiguous to me, who has no previous knowledge of this event before a minute ago.

After a multi-year scrum initiative where I work, we had a new leader come in who basically said this. "Do whatever you want." It was a nightmare (still is).

While it took several years to get people on board with Scrum, it finally started to pay off, where everyone was speaking the same language, dependencies were being called out and put into other team's backlogs, and the various ceremonies started to bear fruit, improving how the team was working.

When that playbook went out the window it was chaos, and it's been that way ever since. No one knows what anyone else is doing. Work is being duplicated all over the place. There are no priories... where everything is a priority and it shifts by the hour with new things being added. Everyone is in a firefight and doesn't see a way out.

The "do your own thing" approach probably works great for small teams and organizations, but quickly falls apart in large organizations with dozens or hundreds of teams trying to work together. The new guy who threw the playbook out the window was from a company 1/10th the size of ours. He doesn't understand the scale and that has been very clear.

I'm not advocating for SAFe here, I think that's its own nightmare. But some kind of shared framework so teams can work together and respect the boundaries of other teams is not a bad thing... whatever that framework is.

Within Scrum there is the idea of the retrospective, to adjust things as needed. If a team isn't seeing value in standups, planning poker, etc... don't do them. Things like that really only impacts the internal team, and the larger organizational cooperation can still exist. For example, my team never assigned points as a group, because it didn't make sense to us. The effort involved in a story is dependent on the skill and familiarity of the person working on it.
The internet protocols suggest this but the common 1gbps/35Mbps suggest that they want you to use it to consume rather than host.

No, they did not. The number of XMPP users pre-Facebook (and pre-Google talk) is on the same order as it is today.

My point is that even if Facebook were to attempt EEE with ActivityPub, the existing userbase would not give up.
Yes but, in a business environment, you need to have dedicated IT support for anything you're self-hosting. Things can go wrong even with the most stable piece of software, and you need to be ready for that. SAAS' main selling point is that they take away the maintenance burden from you, while the advantage of self-hosting is that you're the one in control, at the expense of having to maintain the thing yourself. Then some softwares can require more maintenance than others, but needing IT staff if you're self-hosting isn't specific to Nextcloud.
