I started out with Dokku and it was fine, but ultimately switched to Coolify solely because it has a web UI. Dokku Pro has one as well, but my use case was primarily just for hosting a demo and spinning up instances from GitHub PRs so didn’t feel worth spending money on.

On every service we have ever subscribed I’d say we’ve streamed all that we want to stream within about six months at most. After that there needs to be basically a constant stream of new (good) content or it does not feel worth it.

This what I use the PBS Kids apps for. Free repetitive content without any kind of monetization or need for me to curate.

Thanks for your work on the project!

I wish I’d kept the damn server code around somewhere. Lost to Internet history ):

It's cool Sparkle is still around and offering an alternative for app updates. I remember working with it in Quinn on Mac OS X like 10 or 15 years ago.

VirtioFS[0] is making a _huge_ difference on the macOS side. I hated using Docker on macOS for a long time and started testing it as soon as it came out. Had some bad bugs initially and apparently does still have kinks being worked out but I’ve been using it consistently for a few months now and actually forgot all about how terrible the experience used to be. It is such a great improvement.

Baby Buddy[0] just turned five and I’m still hacking away on it! Well mostly reviewing PRs and helping contributors. I get a great deal of enjoyment out of interacting with its users and contributors.

How do you ensure you get enough protein in this situation? Even with meat and eggs as a common source I’d be concerned about getting too much in a single meal and/or not enough overall.

Thanks for sharing. This introduced a few I missed back when I was evaluating alternatives. Nothing I have tried so far fits quite as well as Heroku but Porter looks like it has a chance…

Fixed it!

Potentially relevant that the Sentry client is configured in debug mode there. Not sure what the actual impact of that is but maybe it causes additional network traffic to Sentry (outside of crash reports)?

I guess I’m confused. Isn’t that exactly correct?

Lots of IPs break it haha. Maybe now I’ll take some time to look in to that…

Here’s a random thing I made for RDAP a long long time ago. It has lots of bugs but has come in handy from time to time: https://rdap-explorer.chris-wells.net/

The tweet and video don’t seem to imply this _should_ be a comment.

I have been “learning to program” for 20+ years and would absolutely find this useful as a quick way to get basic information about a chunk of code I’m unfamiliar with.

Not that learning to read code isn’t important, just not always necessarily worth the time (:

Of course we are lacking true details here but “terroristic threatening” sounds… interesting?

Haha ditto! I assumed that was a typo at first.

I wonder if this is why a roku.com domain is always at the top of the top blocked domains list on my pihole…

Thank you!

Yeah. I did some Internet sleuthing and found a potential contact for the Salesforce Open Source Program Office and reached out. We'll see if they get back.

> Open source programs: If you are a maintainer on an open-source project, and would like to request Heroku support for your project, contact the Salesforce Open Source Program office at ospo-heroku-credits@salesforce.com.

Both the text version of this email (ospo-heroku-credits@salesforce.com) and the mailto it actually links (ospo@salesforce.com) appear to be invalid.

I tried both and got:

> We're writing to let you know that the group you tried to contact ($GROUP) may not exist, or you may not have permission to post messages to the group.

I should have taken more notes on this...

I think my primary issue with Render.com was the shared database for PR previews. The way I am setup on Heroku is I run a demo instance that resets hourly and build PR reviews from the Heroku Dashboard when necessary. All with no cost. The shared database makes the PR reviews effectively useless because of the need for the ongoing demo database.

I was also turned off by the default service plan being a non-free one. I got a surprise bill in my first month of testing this because I had not specified the free plan in the service configurations.

Also one of the weirdly nice things from Heroku was the ability to run cron jobs for free. Lacking that I had to create a GitHub Action to handle resetting the demo data every few hours. Just an additional pain.

Well shit. After the Heroku Dashboard issues I moved my OSS project demo instances and PR reviews process to Fly.io, then Render.com, then Railway, then back to Heroku because it was the only one that had a truly free and well integrated process.

Sigh.

I also had not heard of this — https://keyboardsexpert.com/rotary-encoder-knobs-guide/

Depends on your setup I suppose. I use FastMail for this purpose and it both automatically sets the `From` based on the `To` of the email I'm responding to and allows me to click in to the `From` email and type in whatever I want for the local part before sending.

Cascade Public Media (KCTS9.org/Crosscut.com) | App Developer | Full-time | Hybrid (Seattle, WA area)

I'm looking for an iOS/tvOS or Android/Fire TV app developer (the PD currently asks for iOS/tvOS but we are flexible) to help maintain and build streaming apps for our KCTS9.org video content (Seattle area PBS affiliate). We have been working with firms for the past few years to build and release Roku, tvOS, Fire TV, iOS, and Android apps and are now looking to start building a small in house crew to maintain and move those apps forward. For now this will be the only app developer position at the org so we are hopeful that we can find someone with some level of experience and ability to work independently.

Position is technically hybrid but the Digital Product team remains remote for now (and will work to stay that way for as long as we can, hah).

Feel free to email me (via HN profile and personal website) if you have questions.

I'm doing the Hugo list now!

Just about at the end of Speaker for the Dead. A Canticle for Leibowitz was the first ones that I really enjoyed. Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead are up there too but my absolute favorite so far is Dreamsnake.

I'm really annoyed at myself for not reviewing or at least jotting down some notes about the books as I've finished them. I remember liking Canticle a lot but I would be hard pressed to summarize it without some help.
