I think people over index on “convenience” for lower quality products that further the growth of businesses like Amazon that can now fuck you over like this as a result.

We live in a convenience era (delivery services, etc) that allow people to “live” their life from a couch. There is a great Kurt Vonnegut quote I’ll paraphrase

“My wife says to buy a hundred envelopes online, but I’d rather go out and buy just one. Along the way, I’ll meet people, see interesting things, and enjoy life. The point isn’t the envelope—it’s everything that happens while getting it.”

I Selfhost redlib. Throw behind Tailscale and force redirect to it when hitting Reddit links. No issues

So is this just like a network tunnel but for iMessage? Does the daemon on the laptop need to be running while I am gone?

I assume you proxy through the stella number and it just routes to the daemon over a little tunnel?

Literally this is the best show I’ve ever seen. If I’m ever burnt out at work I rewatch it

Sure but let’s have checks and balances against our government poorly handling sensitive documents.

That’s a lot of places to live. Moving to the UK from the US for me was already mentally draining logistically so curious how you balance that

Ansible, git ops, actually testing it out. Backups with snapshots using restic, encrypted secrets using vault.

Easy to use a local proxy to use other models with CC. Wrote a basic working one using Claude. LiteLLM is also good. But I agree, fuck their mindset

Care to share an example of cloudflare impacting you from this to date? CEO is a lawyer and feel like they adhere to their principles pretty firmly. Just check the latest in Italy

Nice article, been playing with ClickHouse a bit and really like it.

Unrelated - how well do articles like this work for driving signups to your product/platform?

Been feeling a bit left out in this fast paced world of ML/AI, so built my first ML project since college.

The idea is to scrape the most recent HN article titles and use TF-IDF and cosine similarity as metrics to rank articles that you're interested in to filter out only relevant things. Hopefully a fun project for beginners to get inspiration to jump into this world.

I don’t think you need a box of any kind. Just tunnel into a server that is in the location you want it to be in and proxy traffic through that?
