The author mentions not being able to get the connector in single digit quantities, seems pretty specialized.

This is the correct answer, routing between subnets is how it’s suppose to work. I think there are some edge cases like DR where it seems like stretching L2 might sound like a good idea, but it practice it gets messy fast.

I think the tech stack is interesting, don’t agree with OP tasteless choices here (hitler basically) and still, think the work is implemented well -especially iMessage integration.

from OP comment history:

> So I’ve always had this weird obsession with building my own iMessage agent - like, imagine your own bot living inside your iPhone, sending messages, replying smartly, maybe even trolling your friends a little Then I found out companies like Linq Blue and SendBlue (both YC) charge over $1000/month just to do this. Yeah, no thanks. So I built it myself. iMessageKit is an open-source TypeScript SDK that lets you send and operate iMessages programmatically. Texts, photos, even RCS messages - all through a clean, strongly typed API. Now I can build iMessage bots and automations without burning cash, and honestly, it feels great to beat the paywalls. Would love feedback & ideas! GitHub(ur star would be rly helpful): https://github.com/sg-hq/imessage-kit

I’m wondering about how ethical it is to load down a resource in this way, open to opinions. There is a mention “I didn’t hammer down the servers” but what does that really even mean? The site isn’t being used as intended and just curious how other people feel about that.

The one thing I maybe missed, is there anything that can be done to reduce the risk of developing Age-Related Macular Degeneration?

They mentioned the cluster being used enterprise drives, I can see the desire to save money but agree, that is going to be one expensive mistake down the road.

I should also note personally for home cluster use, I learned quickly that used drives didn’t seem to make sense. Too much performance variability.

underrated comment, probably the way to go with an older chip and under 1k volumes.

No, it’s there because the battery can’t hold enough charge for the ratio of vape liquid they put in it. So you get 2-3 full charges and it runs out of liquid.

This was my question too, my bet is support from a vessel and so this whole thing is kind of silly.

I haven’t seen the real answer that I suspect here - the build servers are that one dual socket AMD board which runs open firmware and has no ME/PSP .

Sounds like maybe a positive spin on the erosion of the fundamental building blocks of our democracy. This to me is a strange take, if I’m reading that correctly, what do you mean by it?

True [x] independence in even a small capacity has a value beyond just money.

..water.. ..food.. ..housing.. ..information..

I get what you are trying to conveying, I just wanted to highlight the semantic generality of the statement if it stands alone.

This is a labor of love, there’s no way the 15+ hours would be worth it commercially.I think it’s cool and if you start looking at things like this as a business idea they get unfun really fast.
