nik736··on Fastmail 30 June outage post-mortem
You have to plug in the cable somewhere. If the hardware where the x-connect is plugged in dies, has issues, has to be rebooted, etc. you have an issue and it's not like there were no CF issues ever.
nik736··on Fastmail 30 June outage post-mortem
Crazy that they were single homed.

Edit: After seeing the network diagram I have even more questions. What happens if CF is down? This all seems cobbled together and very prone to failures.

nik736··on That Time I Posted Myself Out Of a Job
It's also super unnecessary to tweet like that. No one wins.
nik736··on Ask HN: Stripe Atlas after SVB fiasco?
Maybe you should validate your idea first before incorporating?
nik736··on We raised a bunch of money
Linode "gave up" with a 900M exit? How is that negative.
nik736··on Pi.ai LLM Outperforms Palm/GPT3.5
> Do you have an API?

Yes, I have an HTTP API that you can use to programmatically interact with me. The API is at heypi.com/api. You can find the documentation and examples at heypi.com/docs. The API allows you to create conversations, send and receive messages, and more. You can even integrate me with your own apps!

Not true, lol. Returning 404s.

nik736··on Ask HN: A.foo.com vs. Foo.com/A
What if I want to visit the marketing page while being logged in?
nik736··on Ask HN: A.foo.com vs. Foo.com/A
This is super confusing.
nik736··on I won't pay on your website
Is it possible to have recurring payments with the QR pay solutions you mentioned? There are probably a lot of use cases, for example for a gym membership, etc.
nik736··on Port forwarding
Why are there Mullvad refugees?
nik736··on Reddit appears to be restoring edited/deleted comments
Yes, but that's even crazier when the platform is basically messing with your posts and comments. That's not what a community is. They can generate content that fits their content strategy themselve then, this way they don't need users!
nik736··on Reddit appears to be restoring edited/deleted comments
This is crazy! I like the following comment on kbin:

> I said it before and I say it again: if you have the patience to do so then make sure you overwrite your content with chatgpt generated content, as the future AI that will feed on your post HATE feeding on already AI generated stuff. It makes the AI diverge.

People should not be deleting their posts but actually just replacing them with random AI generated content. This will make Reddit a mess.

nik736··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
Your competitors have been acquired but you are funded by YC… so there is a high chance this will happen to you as well.

There isn’t much innovation happening since email is stable. I don’t want to design my emails in React, but I am probably not the target group since I am still running my own mail servers.

Edit: What I meant by "email is stable" is basically the way email is being sent and not email itself and the experience around it.

nik736··on Google Cloud region currently down due to water intrusion
Well, we had pictures very quickly of the OVH fire. Google seems to be not very transparent on what is exactly happening...
nik736··on Ask HN: Anyone Using RethinkDB in Production?
I really liked the idea of RethinkDB back in the day but sadly had a lot of performance issues with it shortly before it was sunset, so it went off my radar. TIL that it's still updated and continues to thrive as an open source solution.
nik736··on AWS staff spending ‘much of their time ’optimizing customers' clouds'
Lightsail is heavily throttled, so I wouldn't use it for anything "serious".
nik736··on Your.Online: Gandi continues its development
Ye, that would be funny...
nik736··on Your.Online: Gandi continues its development
Your online what? That name is super weird.
nik736··on Ahrefs saved $400m in 3 years by not going to the cloud
So let us know what is wrong and how a proper TCO calculation looks like. What's missing?
nik736··on Your current API plan does not include access to this endpoint
Twitter in general is very slow for me today
nik736··on Better performance per watt, but why ARM server market share not grown over x86
Non native speaker, but as far as I understand it not 50% of EC2 instances but instance types introduced are ARM based. Big difference :-)
nik736··on EU will require Apple to open up iMessage (2022)
Yes, I remember using Pidgin, awesome times.
nik736··on Ask HN: Has HN had an upgrade?
Logout because of too many comments? What browser and OS are you using?
nik736··on Poste.io – Complete Mail Server
Any solution for CalDAV?
nik736··on Linode rebranded as Akamai’s cloud computing services
Are you still using a lot of bare metal servers? Or solely on GCP?
nik736··on Linode rebranded as Akamai’s cloud computing services
Any alternatives that support nested virtualization and has global locations?
nik736··on Linode rebranded as Akamai’s cloud computing services
What makes you think that Hetzner "seem" to be less reliable?
nik736··on Credit Suisse confirms 50% bonus cut, Zero for Exec, amid terrible results
They will collapse sooner rather than later and the gov has to save them
nik736··on Gitlab to lay off 7% of staff
Scare probably in the sense that performance goes up and some people will quit additionally. So the 7% becomes 10-15% by itself, without them having to pay a severance package.

For the 7% you have to look like you care, since you will be hiring in the future and probably with lower salaries. Mass layoffs are a good way to lower wages throughout the industry.

nik736··on What is a CDN? How do CDNs work?
This can also be done with BGP. Anycast BGP for example is way better suited for this use-case.
