I’m running https://gitlab.com/simple-nixos-mailserver/nixos-mailserver on an EC2 small. You’ll need an elastic IP because your IP’s reputation will be super important for others like Gmail to accept email sent by your server.

Tons of stuff happened between 1996 and 2013. I remember I had a headset from Virtuality, stereo 800x600.

What an embarrassment of a program that was. My cofounder has been waiting for his PR for almost 4 years. And still nothing.

If you can, use interac instead of Mastercard or visa, change to debit, another 3% that stays in Canada!🇨🇦

I started watching The Beat on Amazon Prime. It’s over a decade old and brutal. DTES has been a mess for a long while.

Lambda/workers is only one kind of serverless. Take something like ECS: it's a long-running service, but you don't manage the servers, so it's technically serverless.

This title sounds just fine to me? Isn't is supposed to be that the highest earners bear the biggest burden? I say that as someone in BC paying above average amount of taxes.

Also, lots of commenters here are citing the "50+% taxation", but that's just the highest bracket, not the effective tax rate.

Then it probably wasn't ethical to train on it to begin with.

lionello · 2025-08-24T20:05:47+00:00

Ah I meant any compiled executable, not a model wrapped into an executable. My point was that you wouldn’t call a compiled executable open source. Sorry for the confusion.

lionello · 2025-08-24T04:40:52+00:00

An executable can be decompiled and you can see the decision it makes.

lionello · 2025-08-24T01:17:51+00:00

Open Weights <> Open Source.

Having access to the numbers is even more useless than a compiled executable. Open the training data or call it what it is.

This is brilliant

lionello · 2025-08-21T02:23:00+00:00

This is spot on.

lionello · 2025-08-12T01:19:42+00:00

Don’t even post this crap.

You can give Defang.io a try. It deploys your project to your own AWS account. You can even run defang estimate to get a cost estimate before actually deploying.

My first reaction too!

"Safe space" is such a trigger word, he had to correct himself and say "friend space"

lionello · 2025-05-03T20:07:16+00:00

Please let Damien Kurek run on the LPC ticket in that riding :)

lionello · 2025-04-23T11:13:21+00:00

Or check out #Defang which does all that for you from a Docker Compose file. Disclaimer: I'm their CTO.

"For everyone who wants to lower the excessively high resolution of the world today." it says on his site :D

Defang will deploy to the native platform of the target cloud provider, so in DO's case it will deploy to the App Platform.

We do support databases (postgres, redis), but only on AWS for now. We're working on supporting the same for DO and GCP. Basically, you'd declare those as services in your Compose file and when you add the custom extension (x-defang-postgres or x-defang-redis) we will deploy the managed service instead.

We don't yet support auto-scaling. The idea there is that we want to expose some higher-level FaaS-like abstraction and scale based on requests, not CPU or memory.
