<p>I've been slowly working on <a href="https://github.com/CanineHQ/canine" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/CanineHQ/canine</a> for about 2 years now. Basically a self hosted, FOSS that turns a Kubernetes cluster into something as easy to use as Heroku.<p>It was a pain point from a start up I cofounded before where we needed Kubernetes flexibility but developers hated using it. I figured there was no reason why it had to be hard to use and thus Canine was born.</p>

<p>One thing that recently clicked for me was making podcasts for my girlfriend / friends / parents on the subject, highlights of books I’ve read. It’s like a virtual book club.<p>Somehow even though this adds a gigantic amount of burden to reading, it taps into a “productivity” seeking part of my brain that can then create a sense of focus and accomplishment after each book.<p>Since then reading has been a lot easier and I can usually get to 1 hour per day. Still really underwhelming but it’s way more than I managed to accomplish through sheer force of will in the past</p>

<p>It really never grokked with me why there isn't just "open source Datadog" that can be installed and used. End to end, stateful, that we can just self host.<p>Our team tried to set up open telemetry to replace Datadog and got totally crushed in complexity. The model of having Open Telemetry just be for standardizing & exporting to other backends, needing glue for each part of the setup was nuts.</p>

<p>1000% agree, the goal of canine is to make it so that you don't have to think about the guts of the system until you want to. Inevitably, companies outgrow the custom-built, closed-sourced, vendor-hosted platforms, but Canine allows you to fall back to Kubernetes.<p>The thing that inspired me was realizing that all of the current platforms that make it easy to host apps today are built on top of Kubernetes anyways -- they just hide it all from you. I'm hoping Canine gives people an option to self host on their own Kubernetes, and with sensible defaults, get basically as easy to use of an experience.</p>

<p>Been working on an open source, free, Heroku alternative at <a href="https://canine.sh" rel="nofollow">https://canine.sh</a> for about two years. Its basically a one-click install against a Kubernetes instance to give you a Heroku interface.<p>I feel like even after all these years we’re still missing the devex that Heroku provided.<p>Canine basically wraps a Kubernetes cluster -- gives you a heroku like interface to deploy applications to. At some point, if you get big enough that canine is no longer powerful enough, you can just "eject" canine from kubernetes, and continue using kubernetes directly, without having to do any migrations.<p>Just passed about 2000 developers, at this point most of my work is resolving bug fixes, adding helper text everywhere to make things cleaner, and supporting setups I've never encountered like homelabs with changing IP's</p>

<p>This does seem sensible and I’m glad most of my holdings are in s&p funds.<p>Just to play devils advocate though, what are the downsides of not having 3 of the biggest 10 in the world not in your fund, if you hold to track broad market performance? Wouldn’t that have a massive blind spot on AI related growth?<p>Whether or not I personally think ai is over hyped or not, the whole point of these ETFs is to make sure I don’t get a say in the matter, since I’m a terrible stock picker</p>

I've been trying to figure out a reasonable workflow with a tiny mouse, an expandable keyboard, and a phone with termius (SSH Client) + a remote devserver. It's so close, the only issue is the screen is a tad bit too small to get anything real done other than ad hoc vibe coding.</p>
