Minimax M2.7 is similar to sonnet in my tests. This is the first non OAI/Anthropic model I use for coding. It does require more steering, though.

> You probably know this already, but people should have their own domain.

Until they forget or unable to renew. And then their PII is in the hands of the person who gets the domain.

I can relate to your opinions. Still, I’m going to mentions this: please, vote. Otherwise you are a part of the problem.

I've never experienced issues supporting rails deployments, and in fact find them quite easy to roll out, just as any other service written in any other language. I prefer Kubernetes though, which provides abstractions.

I love this, thank you!

After playing around different JS frameworks I'm back to Rails and I've been able to iterate quickly. That gem solves a few pain points.

Hey, as a nginx user for many many years, I don't understand why would I want to switch. Can you please give a few examples why it made sense for you? Especially with kubernetes environment I have a hard time trying to justify this.

I was under impression this can already be achieved via TruffleRuby compilation into a native image? Not that I used it, but thought this is doable, and the process is well tested.

Good luck Backblaze! It is a tough market for sure, especially with recent announcement from Cloudflare.

Which is the same proxy on top of PostgreSQL if I remember correctly. :) But MangoDB is cloud-agnostic. I imagine it has the same limitations as DocumentDB or more.

New comment by kdasme in "I'm working on open source full time"

This resonates with me so much. Yes, we absolutely need better ways to support FOSS. The companies I've worked with never contributed any funds to FOSS, and very rarely contributed the code back. It felt so unjust, I started working on (what I think might be) a decent solution for some FOSS projects — https://srv.io/open-source-developers. The MVP is up and running, not taking any payments yet, but feedback from developers has been nothing but positive. If you'll have a moment to check this out, please let me know what you think. :)

> like Listmonk so much I want to run it as a service (with 30% donated back to the Listmonk project of course)

Hey hardwaresofton, this is exactly what we're planning to do on https://srv.io/ :)

The platform is mostly ready, and we're just finishing some infrastructure changes to allow the platform to run third-party applications safely. We are planning to include Listmonk in a second batch of the applications to release.

I personally enjoy working with Listmonk, it has replaced Sendy[0] for me.

New comment by kdasme in "FreeBSD Desktop – Part 3 – X11 Window System"

kdasme — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 18:53:40 +0000

FreeBSD is such a great OS and has a very powerful kernel. So much potential, it is sad to see Linux is the only unix OS that gets traction. They've had Jails in BSD long before Docker was a thing. Debian GNU/kFreeBSD was promising but it probably just doesn't make sense to maintain that project given lack of attention. :(
