New comment by malikNF in "Kagi Small Web"

malikNF — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 15:09:53 +0000

I really loved Kagi and was a paid customer for close to two years. But sadly this year I wont be renewing my plan.

Kagi made search feel just “right” it was simple, got the job done and had some really simple but cool search features.

But over time they started doing way too much, and I kept seeing more and more features that I really didn't want. It felt like I was paying for all this while I just wanted to type something on to a text box and click search and see a bunch of results organized according to my filters.

I wish they would just dump all the other nonsense projects like ai and just focus on search only. Or give me an option to pay for search only without any limits.

You should try the Coke made in Mexico. Easiest way I find it is by searching for “Mexico coke” on uber eats or something similar.

Most stores carrying products made in Mexico have it.

Every time I see something about windows7 coming up, I feel a little sad. 7 imo was the last good windows ms came up with. I remember upgrading to it was something worth bragging to your friends in school. There was so much excitement around it. After 7, something felt, broken, new features felt unnecessary, things got more user hostile, the magic, it was just gone!

Looks like a global outage. Was asking Grok to help me fine tune a sourdough bread recipe, and it got stuck halfway. Guess we are back to regular ol sourdough today.

New comment by malikNF in "Twitter/X will let people you've blocked see your posts"

malikNF — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 07:02:52 +0000

What thread has Elon lost really? When Elon bought twitter there was a huge wave of people and the media telling us it was over in 6 months, when Elon fired staff they told us X would go down forever in a few months.

Under Elon imo X has gotten a lot better, I see more content that relates to me and has since found myself using X more than all the other social media platforms combined.

Blocking content makes no sense on a platform like X, if you block me and I still want to read your posts all I have to do is to make another account and read them. This just gets rid of the friction. If I block someone I just don't want to interact with them, I still want them to see me and my friends have fun.

>No need to remember server IPs

On your local machine under ~/.ssh/config you can add something like

#PERSONAL

Host vpn-us

    HostName 1.2.3.4

    User my_fun_username

    Port 1212

now you can ssh using

ssh vpn-us

(above is the same as the following command --> ssh my_fun_username@1.2.3.4 -p1212)

One of my favorite things about using vim as my main IDE is, I can run it on a linux server. My work has me moving around the country. I program on a vim instance running on a remote server. I just need to carry a tiny laptop around.

I usually get an okay ping(<100ms) and if its unacceptable (overseas travel) I change the vm location. Depending on what I am working on I can increase or decrease resources and since things I program usually end up running on ubuntu servers it feels right at home.

edit- Incase anyone is wondering, I actually started doing this since one of my laptops once got lost while traveling. Airline did find mybag later, but the two weeks without it drove me crazy. Now, if I want I can just show up anywhere get a fresh laptop load up my ssh keys and im all set lol.

He should patent the idea and block anyone else from attempting this.

Love the idea. Only issue I had with was the $$$ bit, it's not clear what I am looking at. Think there should be an option to see a approximate ranges in $ for the trips.

If I am using a site like this, I would want to quickly scan a $ range and then see if there's anything I like in there.

Again, love the idea and congrats on shipping. Bookmarked will be visiting again :)

Convenience. Setting it up, maintaining it, cost, audience reach. Lots of reasons.

When I search it says this is a chapter 11 bankruptcy, and it says that means its a restructuring. What does this really mean? So can we see we work come back again ? Or is we work as we know it never going to come back?

He mentions he was born in 1989, so it makes sense to talk about pre internet. Till the mid 2000s the internet was not this available. Growing up we didn't have ADSL till around 2004-2005. And even then it was 512mb/s. Yes the internet was invented a long while before that, pre-internet in this context makes sense to me as time before the internet existed this widely, and at these speeds.
