indulona — Sat, 15 Mar 2025 08:24:58 +0000

For a service I am working on, I was considering paid CDN, but they were all cost prohibitive for what I expected the usage to be. So I wrote my own CDN(2k lines of code with peer state synchronisation). But Bunny always seemed to be the best bang for the buck. I think they are from Slovenia, so that is a plus in my book.

New comment by indulona in "Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2025)"

indulona — Mon, 24 Feb 2025 07:02:40 +0000

Past two years, i've been working on sales platform for digital content creators where they can sell digital content(files), online courses or memberships to access content. I'll be going online next month, hopefully. Right now I am refactoring front-end into production design. Front-end eats always the most time, and i still have things to do in relation to servers/infra and testing. It took this long because i manage the finances(i do not use stripe or any other 3rd party service) and it uses event sourcing, which has large overhead. But i am almost there. Hope to go online next month, beta-test in production for Q2 with small amount of users, and come Q3 go into full production.

Ask HN: Are there online communities for single-owner run companies?

indulona — Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:47:53 +0000

I am wondering if there are any online communities(discord, slack, forums) for people who have single-handedly built and run their online businesses - AND it is not a cesspool of never-ending promos and garbage ads ala linkedin?

i am so glad my sign up process with hetzner failed when i was so dumb that i wanted to give them a chance even with the internet full of horrific stories of bad experiences from their customers. lucky me.

I am on w10 and i have ripped out entire defender and all that security crap. i've been online for quarter of a century and never caught a virus or got hacked. all these security features are waste of hardware resources. i can easily see this being much worse on w11.

Well, you should do cost analysis BEFORE you go to court. That does not mean just how much money you should get out but also whether the other side is even capable of paying.

I use Trello(free). But I do not yet have employees or permanent contractors so i am yet to experience too much distractions.

not yet. it is nothing world-changing, just sales platform for digital content creators. something like patreon, teachable, audible...mashed together.

i've been making websites since 2000. i've seen the internet change and made couple of projects during my life, none took off. as time went, i realized this golden era of online businesses is long gone and everything has been monopolized and bought out by the big tech companies and that money for ads is what matters the most these days. right now i am finalizing my last project that i will ever make, for this reason. it will be 2.5 years of work in march, when i will be releasing it. the only reason i am going for it and i stuck with working on it full-time this whole time is because it is a type of business where customers will come on their own and will want to use it because it provides them with a new sales channel so competition is actually good for them. it flips the usual business model on its head. otherwise i would have quit a long time ago. my hopes up to get it going this year and make 1M in sales next year and hope to be able to focus on growing it for many years to come.

yeah, i had to add svg icons to my frontend which takes a ton of space in the compiled project...for absolutely no good reason whatsoever.

i think he means that internally, time objects simply use unix nano and the location dictates the offset. since it is internal thing, not sure why that is relevant.

I wish Go Team would focus on performance rather thann adding new features that nobody asked for. The http stack is barely able to beat NodeJS these days, ffs.

indulona — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 10:13:03 +0000

cloudflare is one of the most successful CIA spying op in history, following facebook. when people willingly disable their own encryption and allowing you to MITM them, money well spent i say.

ah, ffmpeg, the tool that powers the entire online video industry, praised for its stellar code...yet no one still knows how to use it without getting a phd in sherlocking the internet for miniscule and obscure references to common problems.

we should not be needing "guides". it should be simple and intuitive. if we need all of these tools to understand what we are doing, the spec is scrap and should have never been approved.
