gitinit··on Region-specific Machines pricing
I can’t find it in their docs but they stated it in the announcement email for pay-as-you-go. I also have received a email saying they covered my ~$0.18 bill for the month. You could probably contact support for more clarification.
gitinit··on Region-specific Machines pricing
It can still be used for free as from my experience and the docs, monthly bills under $5 are free.
gitinit··on Piku: Allows git push deployments to your own servers
How did you set this up? Seems simple yet effective.
gitinit··on HN-text: an easy-to-use, text-first Hacker News terminal client
What about using browsh[0] over SSH/Mosh/HTTP?

gitinit··on AI headphones let wearer listen to a single person in a crowd by looking at them
Sound dampening artwork actually seems really interesting.
gitinit··on Storing knowledge in a single long plain text file
EDIT: Originally I just looked at the website. Looking at the GitHub repo, I see it's a fork, which makes sense (I also didn't notice the other replies!) Either way, it's cool. I'll probably end up using this myself. I was unable to find a way to store notes in a folder or in encrypted Gists though.

This seems nearly identical to Heynote[0], which was also on HN[1]. Even the example blocks share some content with that used as an example in the screenshot on the Heynote homepage (and I think in the app too)

gitinit··on Show HN: I built a free in-browser Llama 3 chatbot powered by WebGPU
This works great on my Pixel 6a, surprisingly.
gitinit··on Lowercase – A simple way to take and share notes
What note-taking app are you using currently, if any? I've been using Silverbullet [1] for a while now and love it due to it's usage of plain-text markdown files in a normal directory structure to actually store the notes. Yet, it supports many other features such as query language and to a certain extent, federation with other SilverBullet instances. The only major downside for me is that whilst it's usable on mobile, it feels cramped.

gitinit··on Lowercase – A simple way to take and share notes
Open-sourcing the code allows some level of assurance that your data is not being used for profit and that if the hosted version goes away, it can still be used as a self-hosted service.

In addition, it can allow the devs to accept contributions, making their job maintaining the program easier.

gitinit··on Lowercase – A simple way to take and share notes
This seems amazing, except for the fact that it's not open source and can't be self-hosted.

That, to me at least, is the most important part of a note-taking app.

gitinit··on PawanOsman/ChatGPT: Access GPT-3.5.turbo for free via an API
I found this interesting as it has gained a significant amount of GitHub stars in a short period of time. From a brief look at the code, it seems it just makes requests to chat.openai.com as if someone was using ChatGPT, for free, via the browser. This somehow automates it, and seemingly, without credentials.

EDIT: I didn't realize that ChatGPT can now be used without a login. That seems to be how this can function without credentials.

gitinit··on Atuin – Magical shell history
Agreed! This is my exact use case for Atuin and it works great, except it replaces the default, minimal control-r interface.
gitinit··on Can tin foil hats block anything? (2015)
The post acknowledges this, but it’s more about any actual frequency range. I just think it’s an interesting question.

It would also reflect light significantly, which could be useful to get attention from rescuers.
gitinit··on Google Search Appliance
Were these actually used by many companies?
gitinit··on Show HN: CPU Prices on eBay
Using Selenium, even headlessly, Amazon prices can easily be scraped. This could be turned into an API without much difficulty, I imagine.

gitinit··on Unique 3-word identifiers for every 3 meter square on Earth
Didn’t realize the history of the company prior, apologies.
gitinit··on Browsh: The modern text-based web browser
This can, however, be run entirely inside of Docker - something I’ve done numerous times on a remote sever. This even allows for the web interface to be used, though that kind of defeats the purpose.
gitinit··on Detachable Lenovo laptop is two separate computers, runs Windows and Android
A device similar to the Surface Book in form factor, but significantly more complex due to the attempt to mesh two operating systems and their functionality, while maintaining the ability to independently use each device.

gitinit··on In 2023 Organic Maps got its first million users
If I remember correctly, you can export bookmarks to a file, though this definitely doesn't replace proper synchronization.
gitinit··on Notesnook – open-source and zero knowledge private note taking app
That’s completely fair. I think that the fact that all files are in plain-text significantly reduces the negatives of Obsidian being proprietary. Earlier today I was thinking of switching to Obsidian. However, I don’t see the benefit over Logseq, which I’m somewhat accustomed to. For me, the only reason I don’t love Logseq is its lack of a web app or PWA.
gitinit··on Notesnook – open-source and zero knowledge private note taking app
I completely agree. However, I don’t believe there is a foolproof product. The only reason I use Logseq over Obsidian is due to its FOSS nature. If Obsidian was open source, I would switch. I used to use Notion, but moved to Logseq after searching for an open source alternative.
gitinit··on Notesnook – open-source and zero knowledge private note taking app
I imagine periodically making backups and/or using Git could prevent this, no? I understand with some syncing methods, such as Syncthing, conflicts can be more common.
gitinit··on Notesnook – open-source and zero knowledge private note taking app
Unfortunately, no. However, there are alternatives to sync. I love Logseq, but dislike the lack of a sync server. I have not not tried either of the following methods as I just recently switched to iOS and just used Syncthing on my Pixel. The guide on ish also has a comment on encryption if you scroll enough.

gitinit··on Notesnook – open-source and zero knowledge private note taking app
Logseq is similar to Obsidian but open source. It also can sync through a Git plugin/extension.
