    you can guess from this.

  • To be fair, I only worked at small/medium companies ( <100 people ) and a quarter of the time I had a contact there from some networking event.

  • I guess the approach is different.

    I do 1-3 high quality applications and get invites to an in person meeting for all of them. Often times getting an offer from all as well and then I decide. Each one takes about 3-5 days in total including research on the company, completely custom cover letter, proof reading, getting feedback from friends that work in the field, and hand picked example code projects from my repo or even throwing together a quick prototype related to the job offer. Been doing it this way for 12 years.

    If you do a shotgun approach with 160 low quality ones then it doesn't surprise me that half don't reply.

    If I did 160 applications the way I usually do them, I would literally be writing them for nearly 2 (two!) years... thats the only reason I assume yours are low quality.

  • That looks super interesting. Just yesterday I was reading on https://radicle.xyz/ for similar reasons.

  • Anyone running Sandstorm?

    Jump

  • I don't get that part. Can you explain it please?

    Dokploy has a list of hundreds of "templates" where you basically one click install a working docker container with said app. But there is no deeper integration.

    Is sandstorm different somehow?

  • Anyone running Sandstorm?

  • I prefer dokploy and having full control over each aspect (like auth, backups and routing).

    But this looks nice for when you don't care and just want to use it as it is provided.

    Any here heard of Threefold?

    Jump

  • I played around with the pricing calc and it doesn't seem worth it unless you're hosting something at risk of being taken down by the gov & your regular VPS provider.

    And the most sensible aproach would probably be (if you want to host something in the gray area, like a shadow library) to only switch to it WHEN you actually do run into legal trouble, not before. Unless of course you are absolutely sure that you will be taken down, but then you should rather host it on tor or tbh not at all ...

    TreeFold cost about double compared to a same spec regular VPS.

    I guess the most resillient AND cost effective setup would be to run everything on your own hardware and use frp or pangolin to a very slim VPS. That way migration is easy and you can get the smallest capacity possible, costing only 2.50$ a month, which is more in line with other VPS providers.

    But honestly best way to find out is to try out the service. I wasn't able to find any websites that are specifically hosted on treefold, so maybe prepay for a month and just try it out. Maybe it runs like ass or is unreliable or there are hidden costs etc.

  • It says jeena.net is up but I get a 504.

    After a minute, it works again.

    Do you have like an on demand server that spins up the containers when a request comes in?

  • For the questions that I asked it, it was pretty useless. Those are not representative and you should definitely try it yourself. This model probably has it's strengths in other aspects. It's just two random things that have been on my mind and I wanted a quick response to so that I can then do a deeper dive myself.

    1. Technical question looking for software that can provide a certain functionality had multiple false results and didn't mention the most common solution (which you can find in the top google result, a reddit thread from 2022 about the topic). Other AIs all responded with info which matched that reddit thread.
    2. Question about biomechanics of plants and why the use of human feces as fertilizer is bad (which was done historically and still done in some places in the world. My family abroad still does it because of tradition and I want to explain to them why they should stop). It didn't want to answer because the question "is inappropriate". After being trivially convinced that the question is in fact not inappropriate, it kept saying "it's bad, not recommended, don't do that. Instead do this." but it could never explain WHY it is bad. Further followups just resulted in an error. Other AIs immediately gave a list of stuff that is in human feces and how it contaminates the soil and which ones can be absorbed into the plant and cause harm for consumers. (Which I then used to find relevant articles on health and studies that measure plant absorbtion of those things)

  • Any of the ~15 most used distros is stable when you learn how to not fuck it up.

    As an anecdote:

    my Ubuntu and Debian installs used to break twice a year on dist upgrade back then (started with Linux when Ubuntu 12 came out, got it in a magazine). It would cost me a weekend of trying to fix it before giving up and reinstalling the whole dammn thing and re-doing my setup from scratch ...

    Then I switched and my arch install has been the same for the past ~10 years with only minor fixes maybe once a year. It outlived the hardware it was on twice.

    But every time people keep saying Debian and Ubuntu are stable and Arch is unstable 🤷‍♂️

    Lichtenstein, Monaco, Cook Islands, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands.

    If you want specifically "free land":

    Not a lot of people want to live there. You can go to the bumfuck north in russia and nobody will come check whether you've built a house in the woods or not. In general, extremely rural places with weak law enforcement will work, albeit being technically illegal.

    There are tribal lands in africa (and probably other tribal areas in latin america) that will accept you and you can build your own hut in their village. There are a couple of historic records of people doing that, even in modern times.
