Why do you GEO-block?

It doesn't even matter if it's foreign or not, it's a matter of who owns the thing: you buy a smartphone or you buy a service that allows you some use of said smartphone? Fuck services.

Is this an alternative to OpenWebUI?


Not exactly. OWUI is a server with a web app frontend. Jan is a desktop app you install. But it does have the ability to run a server for other apps like OWUI to talk to.


Openweb-ui does not include a server.


It starts a webserver to serve its UI, which is what your comment parent meant. It doesn't provide its own openai-style API, which I guess is what you meant.


I was referring to Jan.


More an alternative to LM Studio I think from the description.


Jan also supports connecting to remote APIs (like OpenRouter), which I don't think LM Studio does


What a weirdly chosen set of buckets [1,5] and [6,10]. What'd be the percentages for buckets like [0,1] homes and [2,∞)?


Yea really weird. 1 home usually doesn’t even mean you are an investor: you just own one home and live in it. And then 5 homes? That’s not what anyone would think of as “mom and pop.” That’s a very large real estate investment business.

I’d just ignore people with one home because they are not investors. Have one “mom and pop” bucket for people with 2 homes, one rented out, and then another bucket for businesses with 3+ homes, 2+ rented out.


The original source explains that it is 1 home in addition to a primary residence.


If demand is so high - where's your capitalism's rule that supply should rise to meet the demand??


Because it’s not free market capitalism. Zoning, NIMBYs, over regulation etc. all together ensure supply demand economics don’t work the way they should.


Their site doesn't open, that's a poor sign.


Only if they run their website on Incus


Why not integrate with KeePass(*)-family of secret stores or HashiCorp Vault?


Right now, you can use any provider that has a CLI to fetch a single secret. In the near future, we'll be adding native plugins to make these integrations even easier.

Vault can be a huge lift and doesn't make sense for many projects - we wanted to build a tool that makes sense from day one, even when there is no backing provider, but can grow with your team and change providers seamlessly.


That was a pleasure to read: I'm just a layman, I know basically jack-shit about GSM/eSIM technologies, yet the article is written so well and provides enough details that I could understand what they wrote.


That article is a speculation, the number 400 millions was taken out of the article author's ass.


The author asserts the number comes from official Microsoft user base size statements three years apart.

The figure derived from differencing two other numbers may or may not be correct but it has a non anal origin.


Have you actually read the article?

The author's assertion came out from his ass: he concluded that "more than a billion users" in MicroSoft's presentation means "exactly about 1 billion users".

No, 1.5 billions is "more than a billion users" as well.

The author is a speculating bitch, not a journalist.


Obviously I read the article.

Have you read the HN guidelines?


I don't know why, but just the animated background causes 100% cpu consumption for me. Debian 12, Chromium 136, i5-3450, 20gb ram, nVidia 3080, 4k screen though.


Sounds like partial lack of GPU acceleration on your linux side of things?

You can check with going to

chrome://gpu

(I assume for chromium it is the same adress as for chrome)


That is odd, perhaps the browser is not using your GPU and instead trying to run fully on the CPU. I have an issue on GitHub where another user reported this in Firefox. I assume changing to a picture wallpaper like APOD fixes the issue then?


Yes, with static image CPU consumption goes to ~0%. chrome://gpu says:
