I mean, we're not talking about a hosted service here. Albeit not OSS, the client is free, API stable, fully functional offline, and very extensible. Even if Obsidian the company went away, the latest version of the app would continue to work and you would still own your data.

> 10.05% of all domains listed on Spamhaus’s Domain Blocklist...are on Cloudflare nameservers

Not defending spammers, but this comes across a smidge naive considering Cloudflare's overall footprint in the modern internet.

> All python packaging challenges are solved.

This comes across as uninformed at best and ignorant at worst. Python still doesn't have a reliable way to handle native dependencies across different platforms. pip and setuptools cannot be the end all be all of this packaging ecosystem nor should they be.

> Structurally, it's closer to a slasher/horror flick

Having rewatched T1 very recently, I couldn't agree more with this. At one point I turned to my partner and asked what genre this actually was because all things pointed to horror.

Hoosiers, for sure. "My team is on the floor" was such a flex as a coach, it is still difficult for me to separate the man he played in that movie and the actor, to me they're one and the same.

First, nice work. I'm certainly glad to see such a tool in this space right now. Besides a UI, what does this provide that something like Browserless doesn't?

Prefect has more polish and is easier to get started than any of the existing options. We've been running their self-hosted for over three years and it basically stays out of the way.

We looked at Dagster as well as Airflow. I really, really liked Dagster but the BI team didn't.

I cannot imagine using Airflow for anything meaningful and respecting myself at the end of a work day. The local development experience was abysmal. Deployments sucked.

That being said, if you're not using anything except maybe cron right now, and if you don't care about the solution being a proper data pipelines orchestration platform trademark symbol, I'd recommend starting with Windmill.

Impressive work, congrats on the launch! Aside from the OSS perspective, how would you compare your service to Twingate?

New comment by computershit in "When do we stop finding new music?"

computershit — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 02:10:25 +0000

Yeah but none of this music slaps as hard as it did in my 20s. Don't get me wrong I appreciate it the same I'm sure, there's just such a thing as youth and emotion and I wouldn't trade that exploratory musical phase for anything.

There's quite a bit of new tooling in this space, selecting the right one is going to depend on your needs then you can spike from there. Check out Prefect, Dagster, Windmill, Airbyte (although the latter is more ELT than ETL).

Cloud native and self-hosting are not mutually exclusive.

As long as you live where you can place your own charger. I've ridden with countless Uber drivers who rent EVs from Uber whose experience would disagree with such a blanket statement.
