I would argue it’s still unparalleled for recommendations

Coming to this thread late but this makes me want to do a star trek one! Going to be way more difficult to parse through all the competing references to location and distance but I guess we’ll see how big of a trekky I am

Super awesome!

I credit last.fm with showing me a lot of the music I love, it’s the perfect recommendation model and still the best social music platform so I’m definitely rooting for you to improve on it!


Thank you! Last.fm was a huge inspiration for Rocksky. I still think scrobbling and social listening are some of the best ways to discover music. Hoping to bring a more open and modern approach to it with ATProto.


If you can a find a way of A) getting live scrobbles from Last.fm into Rocksky without having to change the clients that are all using Last.fm already and/or B) get historical scrobbles out of Last.fm into Rocksky, I'd think you could potentially take over the ecosystem relatively quickly :)


Yes, interoperability is super important to me. I don't want users to rebuild their entire setup just to try Rocksky.


Yeah I’ve been doing this with tailscale and a single vps and it’s been wonderful. Unless you’re planning to have millions of users I don’t think there’s any reason to have a cluster.

Maybe they’re assuming some massive amount of compute will be necessary for future tasks? Self hosted LLMs? I’m currently finding it difficult to come up with more uses for my vps beyond hosting trillium and some personal applications I’ve made


Good to hear I might not be paranoid, I could swear I get them far more on my linux desktop than my macbook.


I get them more on Zen (Gecko-engined) than I did on Arc (Chromium-engined). I came across this blog post about user-agent discrimination by the Vivaldi team on HN this week: https://vivaldi.com/blog/user-agent-changes/


Built an atari punk console using these with my late father. Still have it hanging on my wall in a shadow box.


I recently dug one out to use as a hardware shutdown timer to power off an rpi's PSU once it has presumably halted without having to resort to a dedicated MCU for the task.


My favorite 555 use was as a one-shot to power off a NIC after using its wake-on-LAN signal to reset a hung motherboard:

Not sure if this is bad form but i’ve always loved using jk for escape. It feels so natural to roll your index and middle fingers to get back to normal mode.

I agree, too, besides reminding myself to use numbers before movement commands there was really nothing that felt super hard about vim. It almost disappointed me, I always heard the jokes about not being able to quit it!


Yes but jk does not work in other contexts (shell vi modes at least for me) and it's actually to have Escape closer to home to quickly get out of a situation

To be fair I mostly use `/` + (n/N) + Enter with `incsearch` on (by default in nvim), I feel it's really the superior way to move around and it has deprecated a lot of my vim-fu.

In the same way, apart from occasinal `ciw` (or other text-objects), I do most of my edits with `:s/old/new`. I don't even use a complicated regex as sometimes it's just easier to write one or two simpler ones. It's just faster to not have to go to a specific location before you make an edit.


It works in bash and zsh at least.


I stand corrected


Only played around with it but you can use patroni, etcd and HAproxy to achieve this. It’s a pain, but I believe there was some kind of coolify-style open source application to do this for you but I can’t for the life of me remember its name


You might be thinking of Pigsty?

Atleast I hope you are! Nothing else has been as well battletested. Unfortunately, perhaps because if its name, it gets no facetime on HN. Its last few mentions here barely received attention it deserved.



autobase[1] is the one I can think of

You’re not alone I was assuming it was 3D graphics as well. Disappointed to see, according to other comments, it’s a wrapper around python bindings to Tauri


Visited Portland, Maine recently and ate at Becky’s Diner there. What a wonderful place, the food was just what you would expect when walking in (and I mean that in the best way).

It made me lament the lack of old school diners where I live. Sometimes you just need a perfectly cooked breakfast and some solid coffee!
