I looked at the demonstration video and closed it after a couple of minutes. I don't see how this tool will replace git.

Well, I think it won't


Not OP, but: "acceptable", that's the problem. Also I dislike Google more than Apple.


I'm wondering what adjectives you hope to apply to a phone operating system. I'm content with mine when I don't have to think about it, for which "acceptable" seems about right, and discontent when I do.


Well, you put a lot of trust in the individuals in this case. A disgruntled employee can just let the bad guys in on purpose, saying "Yes they belong here".


That works until they run into a second person. In a big corp where people don't recognize each other you can also let the bad guys in, and once they're in nobody thinks twice about it.


Agreed, but you can put EC2 on that list as well


Assuming running instances remain running, ec2 would be less bad I think.


yes, the previous AWS incident to this one iirc ec2 instances were not reachable from AWS console (IAM issue?) but they kept running and working


Wealthsimple Tax is free too, and pretty good for simple use cases.


This project is really cool, love it!

How would someone start learning and implementing something like this? Like, I don't even know what keyword to put into Google.

Are there any articles, blog posts, etc. that you used while researching?


This is simply not true. I've just checked


This is pretty cool! I am also interested in game engine programming, but I am in the very beginning of the journey.

Do you have any recommendation on voxel engine learning materials (e.g. books, courses, etc)


Voxel engines are interesting because they're very much an area of active research. People are often coming up with novel techniques, and adapting traditional techniques in interesting ways. There isn't any good, singular resource for learning about voxel engine development thay I know of.

I'd recommend Handmade Hero for a more traditional resource on how to build a game engine. That's how I learned to program for real, and it worked great for me.


Wouldn't that ray destroy any life on any nearby planet?


I think the poster above meant "wouldn't notice anything out of the ordinary until it's too late."


How did you build your own data center? Is it in your house, or renting a place somewhere? How much did it cost?

I would be curious about any details you can share.


I self host on an NAS at home with a free Cloudfront CDN on top; it's really easy to do and for simple websites (including dynamic ones backed by an sqlite db) that don't receive excessive traffic, it works well and is almost free (since the NAS would be on in any case).

Of course it wouldn't work for all cases but I find it beats having a vps somewhere that can be taken down for no reason at all.


This is like saying "I got kicked off a plane so I bought a Civic and bolted a wing on the back". Cloud front is doing all the heavy lifting and you're not really getting data center level reliability.


Does a Civic fly when it has a wing bolted on it? Coz my setup serves pages alright.


Sure, but that is not what people will read when you say "I built my own data center".

"I setup my own server" would be a lot less misleading.


I never said I built my own data center; I think you have me confused with the OP.


Os: Proxmox

Hardware: 4x Old decommed 19" dells on Ebay with plenty of DDR4 memory, HP Proliant G10+ are also good

Ups Eaton Pro

Gigabit Fiber Internet, which is more than enough. 10-50mbit can suffice for compute nodes too.

Bought ssds and m2 storage plus some spinning ols rust drives

Temp and humidity monitoring

Google Nest Protect smoke detector

TP link 16amp smart plugs on all, to have a control plane to turn it all off remotely

Workloads:

Most are LXC

Some Docker

KVM virtual machines

Zero trust: Some Cloudflare

Tailscale

Proxmox backup server to back it all up, lots of retention

Monitoring:

Deployed remote uptime monitoring on fly.io

Read and experiment a lot Hang out on /r/homelab /r/homedatacenter and /r/selfhosted for learning, community and inspiration


I have space in my house, using up half a shed I have 1 gbit fiber
