decide1000··on OpenLLM
Isn't it a generation thing? If I had the choice everyone would be on IRC still.

Sadly no linux version
decide1000··on Ask HN: Email provider that doesn't lock you out and has good support?
After using gmail since their public launch I am very happy with Fastmail now
decide1000··on Ask HN: How is BunnyCDN DDoS protection VS Cloudflare?
How would you find the origin ip with Bunny? They proxy it as well right?
decide1000··on Ask HN: Are there any safe alternatives to coffee for all-day sipping?
This alternative to coffee looks very interesting to me. Are there any alternatives or even homegrown alternatives to Rasa you are aware of? I don't feel comfortable paying $49 for a bag while I can get the ingredients at my local market.
decide1000··on Ask HN: B2B SaaS, good numbers, good PMF, need help
3 years ago I created some tech I wanted to sell as a SAAS business. After my engineer mind and nerd brain finally accepted that I am not good at doing everything myself I found myself a business partner. Several months I reached out to people I found interesting with the question if they knew someone with experience in the field and a commercial business brain. After many talks and some personality tests we made a deal. He paid 10k, I gave him 50% stocks. He is CEO, I am CTO. We now have developers, marketing people and many happy customers. I started the rocket but never was able to fuel it like my business partner does. 10k for 50% is perfect if it saves your life.
decide1000··on SUSE and openSUSE leadership declare Conservatives to be “Rotten Flesh”
I might look into OpenSuse later today. Maybe a good moment to switch to it. My first OS was Suse. I miss it.
decide1000··on Brave releases its Search API, bringing independence to the search landscape
The API looks promising but I find it quite expensive.
decide1000··on Ask HN: How to organize archived webpages locally?
I use Mozilla's Pocket for this. The paid version stores it for you. Getpocket.com

decide1000··on OpenAI came after our domain because we use GPT in it
I used OCR on a screenshot of the email. That's probably the reason of the mixup.
decide1000··on OpenAI came after our domain because we use GPT in it
Yes I used OCR on the screenshot of the email they sent.
decide1000··on The EU AI act is coming, this time for real probably
I always feel that the EU protects the people, while others seem to care about profits only.
decide1000··on RedisRaft
We start tests in the coming week. Current memory of Redis use is about 70gb. Thanks a lot for your comment. I hope to create a stable KeyDB environment as it would solve some of our problems we have with Redis replication. The issues you describe sound scary.
decide1000··on RedisRaft
I am looking at KeyDB and consider to use it as replacement of Redis. Besides some speed improvements it has good looking replication and cluster solutions. https://docs.keydb.dev/docs/cluster-spec
decide1000··on NewsNotFound: An open-source, unbiased news company
What makes you say that it is very much biased?
decide1000··on Introducing 'Trusted Publishers'
I understand the focus on Github, they are the biggest. But so many use Gitlab, Gitea, Bitbucket, .. Would love to see some examples for those as well
decide1000··on The biggest EV battery recycling plant in the US is open for business
Is this different from how they recycle EV batteries in Europe?
decide1000··on Why did Phreesia share my medical data after I opted out?
Compared to the US: EU
decide1000··on Awesome Docker Compose Examples
Thanks! I will use this.
decide1000··on Ask HN: Does your company ban GitHub Copilot?
We moved to Gitlab after the acquisition of Github by Microsoft. Copilot is not used here. All devs received a company license for Tabnine.
decide1000··on Podman vs. Docker: Comparing the two containerization tools
Linux, MacOs and Windows are better environments if you want drop-in solutions. FreeBSD does not have a desktop environment (Use GhostBSD for that or add something custom). FreeBSD does not support Docker because it has better solutions in place. It can be a headache to set things up when you are new to Unix. Don't expect that the latest version of some Jetbrains IDE is 2 commands away. Compiling and other solutions might be needed. The community of FreeBSD is very helpful. The forum and several maillists are the best way to go with questions.
decide1000··on Podman vs. Docker: Comparing the two containerization tools
On Firefox I use the addon Consent-O-Matic which does the automatic handling of GDPR consent forms.
decide1000··on Podman vs. Docker: Comparing the two containerization tools
I compare Bhyve often with Docker or Podman. It is a hypervisor and virtual machine manager. Basically you link a ISO and run it. It can be any OS.

There are several ways to run Bhyve:

- CLI - Libvert and virt-manager - vm-bhyve

A vm-bhyve template can look like this:

  loader="uefi"
  graphics="yes"
  xhci_mouse="yes"
  cpu=2
  cpu_sockets=1
  cpu_cores=2
  memory=4G
  network0_type="virtio-net"
  network0_switch="public"
  disk0_type="nvme"
  disk0_name="disk0.img"
  disk1_type="ahci-cd"
  disk1_dev="custom"
  disk1_name="/path/to/disc.iso"
Sample config: https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/blob/master/sample-tem...

I use Jails to run applications like Postgres, Redis, Python api in an isolated environment. Jails is native FreeBSD, but isolated.

decide1000··on Podman vs. Docker: Comparing the two containerization tools
In popularity Unix is not the main OS for most developers. However, FreeBSD and jails, are used by the worlds largest companies. Netflix is famous for it but there are many examples. In my opinion the popularity of the OS among developers might be one of the reasons. Unix seems hardcore compared to Linux. I started to look at FreeBSD when I needed the network power, now I don't use anything else.

For starters; Try GhostBSD - FreeBSD with a MATE desktop.

decide1000··on Podman vs. Docker: Comparing the two containerization tools
On FreeBSD there is something called Bhyve. It is an efficient container solution with several native FreeBsd advantages like OpenZFS and NVMe support. That enables features like rapid async replication and extreme corruption protection. Also in terms of speed and overhead (resource usage) it works amazing.

Another FreeBSD solution is Jails. I never seen a more powerful container solution. It is lightweight and has unique features like hierarchical Jails. Management is done over cli or solutions like Iocage. Jails and its ancestors have been developed since 1975. The modern Jails is developed since 1998. It is an incredible flexible and lightweight virtualization platform. Michael W Lucas wrote a very good book about it ("FreeBSD Mastery: Jails").

decide1000··on It’s worth running a FreeBSD or NetBSD desktop
GhostBSD is a great starter. It is a integrated mate desktop on top of FreeBSD
decide1000··on Ask HN: What is the weirdest or most surreal recent technology you have seen?
About 15 years ago I was at the home of an engineer. He had something which looked like a wallet. He unfolded it and it was an e-ink screen which was foldable. It showed an OS with an app to read and send emails and do some (slow) browsing. The company he worked for was bought by Philips. Never saw that product again.
decide1000··on Holmes Belongs in Prison, Not $13,000-a-Month Manor, US Says
It's actually not good. It is totally legal to appeal a conviction. The size of a bank account is not a measurement in this.

Stranger is US law in general, where the outcome of convictions depends on the emotional stability of a judge and the thoughts of a jury.

Law is an emotional process in the US. In Europe there are no emotions involved in the sentencing.

I think this reflects the responds like "Send her to prison, where she belongs". There is an appeal, so let's see if she really belongs there.

decide1000··on Why “OpenBSD Mastery: Filesystems” Is Not in Amazon’s Kindle Store
I try to buy books from physical book stores. Often it takes a few days before it gets delivered. Michael W Lucas has a great book about OpenBsd Jails, worth the read.
