Only 5 years ago? I feel like they stopped getting interesting and started getting increasingly worse like 5 years in. I'm still pissed off about the headphone jack.

5s/SE1 is still peak iPhone for me. I pull that thing out of the drawer every now and then and just marvel and the size and weight and how it is barely noticeable in my pocket even compared to my (ginormous in comparison) SE2.

I briefly thought you meant the issue was NATS - https://docs.nats.io/learn/core-nats

Its normally always DNS (Departures Now Stalled)

Not TCP (Takeoff Clearance Prohibited)

It only affected MACs (mediocre airtraffic controllers)

They were causing interruptuons with TTL (Taxiing, Takeoff and Landing).

It's RST (russian state threat).

Lol is this page written by AI?

AI jokes would be funnier methinks

today I broke my personal age record – it was a tough ride, but with grit and determination, I think maybe, just maybe, I can do it again tomorrow.

Oh, and I also have no AI features.

When someone says cloudflare is too good / cheap to be true... maybe think about it.

They have shareholders, who wouldn't allow them to provide value for free, its just not obvious to you how they are extracting that value. Maybe its by capturing a huge % of unencrypted https traffic because if you let them do your certs it means they can read all your real traffic.

There are lots of companies that provide low end services for free to attract people who may now or in the future be decision makers at large companies.

For better or worse, the free plan that Cloudflare has provided me for 10 years for my 20-30 hobby/personal domains has gotten them several hundred thousand dollars in business.

indeed, typically by using their huge cash piles to build a moat around them, so no small new player has a dream of competing.

This is why I refuse to give any money to AWS/GCP/Azure or anyone who runs on them.

You should avoid giving them money because they're 50 times more expensive than the competition, not because of that.

I'm pretty sure that's impossible nowadays, at least avoiding everything that runs on AWS.

I'm pretty sure it's not really any different from a protection scheme that turns into vendor lock in.

If it is "not obvious to you how they extract the value", you can just look for NET (their ticker) earning reports and SEC fillings since they are a publicly traded company instead of spreading conspiracy theories...

Indeed,

Thats part of the premise, we don't need to invent new technologies when email/rss are already self curated / federated.

The missing piece is discovery.

Which is why in addition to allowing you to aggregate internal/external feeds into one place, each instance also shares each external feed its users have subscribed too, and each user can share who they read (like a blog roll).

Or just use https://tuhat.net,

>> 1K organic users in the last three months, ,with no marketing budget, and no VC funding.

- Chronological feed of local posts + external RSS feeds in one place

- Email newsletters / RSS

- Journaling feature

- Book log / reviews

- No Algorithms

- No like button

Opensource if you want to spin up your own instance.

I don't know what I am looking at here?

Ha, fair. The home page is a global feed of all users, limited to one post per day per user.

One of many potential solutions to an alternative to todays social media – like substack, but without the shitty sides of social media.

AFAIK the netflix CDN boxes all run -current (they used to at least), so is the main pfsense release.

-current is definitely ok for production

-current is ok with the caveat that you have to be pretty engaged with the development process, ideally having developers employed (or be one yourself)

I was a committer long ago, these days sticking to latest releases on my boxes

Desktop is a moving target and modern hardware usually requires -current, but I wouldn’t call it “production”

They've actually just done that, your limit automatically gets increased if all your domains are secured.

That’s good to know! I was actually very excited when I first found them; I was surprised that there aren’t many free/open public DNS hosting services.

Happy deSec user, use them for all my domains. Had quick thoughtful replies from Peter if I had any questions.

Really? I thought they mostly just bought other peoples companies, and a large number don't do anything at all - they inherit.
