Is there something like https://www.flightradar24.com for satellites?

Would be kind of interesting to build a “live” visualization of objects in earths orbit. But this would require accurate live data of those objects. Probably nothing that companies would publish.

On the other hand side: once the object and its orbit is identified, positions could be calculated…

Does anyone know more?

> Superhuman valued at $825 million in 2021, $35 million annual revenue

This is nuts! I used Superhuman for about a year. And honestly, I might still be using it if the pricing weren't so off. It had a couple of nice features, and the keyboard-driven approach was a welcome change for mail clients.

But ultimately, Superhuman had nothing that couldn't be replicated in a relatively short amount of time (maybe even with plugins?).

$825 million? Maybe I should start a mail client company...

Really miss Sparrow! To me it was the perfect email client.

I went to the comments to see if I was the only one who felt this way. I don't judge using AI to correct spelling or style issues, but this is just too much.

tl;dr: he used 4 raspberry pi 5s, and created a k8s cluster using microk8s.

There isn't so much value in this article, also not an explanation of how things were done...

The chosen case looks nice, but for a cluster of PIs it looks like the wrong choice.

In any case, seems like the author enjoyed his work :)

> In general everything about it feels like it makes projects easy to work on for 5 days, abandon for 2 years, and then get back into writing code without a lot of problems.

To me this is one of the most underrated qualities of go code.

Go is a language that I started learning years ago, but did't change dramatically. So my knowledge is still useful, even almost ten years later.

This is the „beauty“ of web rings. Low tech, but brittle if not everyone plays to the rules xD

Having the latest post of each blog available is an awesome, thank you for adding it.

Another killer feature on top would be to sort for latest post, so they can be ordered by date desc. This would make a great HN-meta news page :)

My personal blog writing mainly about technical things such as Kubernetes (and Containers), WebAssembly or Zig. Lately I’m documenting my progress of learning the Rust programming language by taking notes on specific topics.

New comment by voigt in "Zellij New WASM Plugin System"

voigt — Tue, 27 Jun 2023 17:38:11 +0000

I do understand why people try this approach:

First: wasm is the perfect plug-in language, as it provides a high level of isolation and therefore security for the host app.

Second: the promise of wasm is that you can write it in any language. I think this is compelling for any application that seeks for extensibility.

Wether all this is worth the effort is probably the actual question. Maybe we will be surprised by killer plugins that wouldn’t be possible with regular plug-in systems…

I think it’s worth to check out https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial It’s far from „done“ and has a lot of rough edges, but it’s easy to setup and probably good enough for a single instance!

I’m using Make for years now but usually only for very basic things. I always feel like it can do much more. Are there any good docs/books/articles about advanced usage of make?

A couple of KubeCons ago there was a talk about a "Kubernetes without Containers". The idea was to utilize Kubernetes' API and extensibility, without the necessity to run a container runtime.

I can not recall the name of the project. Would love to see whether this idea got any traction. Sounds like it would be a nice fit for a crossplane maintained infrastructure.
