hosteur··on Ask HN: Is Kagi Search Down?
It is down for me. It seems you meant to include a reference to their status page. However, the link was not included.

Anyone know the link to their status page?

It is the same (defunct) company, though. So, I would say this is highly relevant.

I use restic to back up my NAS to Hetzner storagebox.

Also, you can probably tier your data. Maybe you don’t need same level of backup for all your 40TB.

Thanks for making this. I really like it.

Do you have plans to monetize it? I hope not. Because this is a thing that should exist in the world. I would much rather support this via donations than ads or anything else.

hosteur··on Krita 5.2
> I think this is said in every Krita submission

So maybe they should take it seriously.

> but Krita's largest type of audience is cartoon-y fantasy artists. It makes sense for their demographic.

Yeah, that seems like survivor bias: the cartoony fantasy artists may be only ones tolerating it. So with this mascot they will select for such demographic. I mean, that is fine if they want to keep it that way.

I am a happy user of Krita myself. I think it is a marvellous tool. However, I am not using it at work precisely because of the mascot and splash screen.

I feel Krita could be used my so many more people if they had a more neutral mascot.

Easy. Pay them a decent salary for every hour they are on call. Simple as that.

hosteur··on Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month
In my experience from Denmark it is not great at the local results. However I don’t experience many problems with the Danish language. It is mostly stuff like if you search for some generic term that exists in both English and Danish. Then you might want the local one. This does not work very well. But adding stuff like site:dk helps.

120 mph in km/h does work, though. I don't think "kmh" is a normal abbreviation. This is the first time I see it.

Care to elaborate on how it gets in your way? And what, in your opinion, Google does better? I use Kagi myself and I am very happy with it.

hosteur··on Ask HN: How do you manage your “family data warehouse”?
> I'm a bit shocked that all answers so far use cloud storage and not a single one proposes offline.

Huh? I think I made the second or third comment in this thread outlining my solution which is offline-first:

hosteur··on Ask HN: How do you manage your “family data warehouse”?
Great question. The reason is that my documents do get updated. This is not merely an archive as I also store various more live documents in it like budgets, etc. Some documents are indeed purely archived. But even for those, I find it really handy to have a complete log of when they were added. Who added them, etc. All this is stored in SVN. Also, SVN provides a really easy way to sync the folder to various devices (svn CLI tool on Linux and Mac, and TortoiseSVN on Windows clients).

I am aware that nowadays, SVN is not the modern choice compared to Git. When I designed this system, Git was not available. But I actually find that SVN's centralized architecture fits really well for this purpose.

For photos, I really like having them in SVN as I never lose any image even if I modify it. Sure, it takes up a little extra storage. But storage is cheap. Also, SVN here acts as an extra local backup.

hosteur··on Ask HN: How do you manage your “family data warehouse”?
Documents are in Subversion hosted on a local home Debian server which is also NAS.

Photos (hundreds of GBs) are also in Subversion hosted on same server. Photos are managed/viewed either via Digikam (on both Mac, Linux, Windows) as well as through a generated HTML/js gallery served on the same server.

Home server is backed up via restic to

* local harddrives that are rotated weekly and moved offsite. * to a rented physical Debian server in a different country * to a cloud storage provider

Server storage is fully encrypted using LUKS. Backups are encrypted via restic/ssh.

Various sensitive documents are separately encrypted inside the svn repos via 'age' or similar tools.

This setup has been working for almost two decades. I have yet to lose any data.

Edit: For documents, we have a personal repo for each family member. Typically, we use a folder structure based on https://johnnydecimal.com/

We also have a repo specifically for receiped in which receipts are just stored as /<year>/<yyyy-mm-dd>-<name>.pdf (or .jpg if it is a scan/photo).

Legal documents like wills, etc. are stored in a safe as well as a physical copy stored at a relative + digital versions stored in the svn repo.
