Have you taken a look at https://github.com/nix-community/srvos ? It’s a collection of profiles for servers by the Numtide folks.

This is my favorite style of architecture. I only really came to appreciate it after seeing 33 Thomas Street in NYC in person: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/33_Thomas_Street

If you’re ever in NYC, I highly recommend going to check it out.


There's a similar building in San Francisco, I think it's near the new Transbay Terminal? I've moved away so I can't drive down and search for it myself, sadly.

I was shocked when I first encountered it: "What eldritch thing broods in a windowless skyscraper?" But of course, a phone exchange.

(Any hams here? I remember seeing a tall building in S.F. with a log-periodic antenna on its roof; a consulate, maybe.)


I'll have to go find it next time I'm in SF then. :-)

> I was shocked when I first encountered it: "What eldritch thing broods in a windowless skyscraper?"

That was my exact reaction!


Congrats on the launch! Will definitely have to check it out. I see you’re using Phoenix/Liveview for the control plane. :-) How has that been working for you?


Thanks!

Erlang/OTP has so far been an excellent platform to build on for a product like Firezone. We chose it specifically for its reputation for powering soft realtime systems. Phoenix Channels are an added bonus that allow us to push all updates where they need to go, in just a few hundred lines of code.

We couldn't be happier with the stack choice.


Counter-point: walking and taking public transit became considerably _more_ interesting for me once I became fully remote. However, I do live in an area with walkable amenities (coffee shops, grocery stores, etc).


I agree with this. Why would I need to own a car when I'm going to the office once a week?


Sure, but unfortunately, the linked website doesn't ask about that.


Was also curious, so I did some digging. This is the inventor’s thoughts on this: https://chaos.social/@jacqueline/111869403759610817


When I was going through this, I found it helpful to re-implement stuff in code as I was learning. I compiled resources on it in this repo for my own benefit: https://github.com/aos/computer-networking-study


I game on a framework laptop with an eGPU. I have a Razor Core Chroma with a Radeon 2060. There’s plenty of guides out there to get it up and running [^1]. I did try to get it working under Linux but wayland support for Nvidia is still a mess. For now, I’ve been dual-booting Windows to play my games on. It works really well.

Mucinex DM has dextromethorphan[0] which can act as a non-selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.

[0]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dextromethorphan see section on dependence and withdrawal


It's much stronger effect is as an NMDA antagonist, similar to Ketamine. This blocks one of the primary excitatory neurotransmitters in the brain. That would be a better candidate for a depressant effect than its minor SRI property


Well, that makes sense then. Thanks for the additional info. Honestly have been kinda scared of the whole class of medication that affects mood since this experience, but I've been lucky enough to not feel the need for medication nor been prescribed any of that sort, so haven't had to make that choice.


Serotonin is only a small part of what it does. It can impact everything from NMDA to opioid receptors.

It’s not interchangeable with SSRIs, obviously.


Vicarious Surgical | DevOps Engineer | Full time | On-site/Hybrid | Boston

Vicarious Surgical’s novel approach to surgery uses a combination of proprietary, human-like surgical robots and virtual reality to transport surgeons inside the patient when performing minimally invasive surgery. Our technology was granted Breakthrough Device Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which provides unique opportunities for our regulatory pathway.

We're looking for someone who has experience in on-premises and cloud software infrastructure to help build the foundation for the future of robotic surgery.
