Hehe, I'm eagerly waiting for this one as well as I'd be extremely happy to replace some hack to run docker images with `systemd-nspawn` served from the nix store.
What a story. Be friendly to your neighbors, otherwise they might turn off your TV!
When I was living in Berlin, the entire apartment complex had a WhatsApp group and people would (of course it's Berlin) party a lot. People would ask each other to turn down the volume, which worked for the most part - at least for severe partying. Best messages were like "you've been partying all night, it's 2pm, I need some silence to have a meeting.
Back then I was dreaming of some shared application, people could put on their phone or laptop and then the collective could decide or at least hint through that software that the volume was up too high.
One of the reasons why I want to move out from the city and have a house far away from everyone else. Nobody disturbing my peace. Nobody complaining about my noise.
Platform was dying for years before it was finally financially interoperable, before that they've lost over a year worth of contents due to some corrupted hardware. I can't exactly remember for sure that this happened during a migration, but the corruption of the main database was the main cause to lose that data.
In the end, there was just not enough money to justify keeping it alive.
Wow, Noctalia looks amazing! I'm especially excited about the automatic theme by background image, that means my live updating wallpaper also tweaks the theme :) super fun.
Push-to-Sync. We observed 8 apps employ a push-to-sync strat-
egy to prevent privacy leakage to Google via FCM. In this mitigation
strategy, apps send an empty (or almost empty) push notification
to FCM. Some apps, such as Signal, send a push notification with
no data (aside from the fields that Google sets; see Figure 4). Other
apps may send an identifier (including, in some cases, a phone num-
ber). This push notification tells the app to query the app server
for data, the data is retrieved securely by the app, and then a push
notification is populated on the client side with the unencrypted
data. In these cases, the only metadata that FCM receives is that the
user received some message or messages, and when that push noti-
fication was issued. Achieving this requires sending an additional
network request to the app server to fetch the data and keeping
track of identifiers used to correlate the push notification received
on the user device with the message on the app server.
Maybe I’m mis-interpreting what you mean, but without a notification when a message is sent, what would you correlate a message-received notification with?
Nothing changed, but many people struggle to understand their our own degree of relative ignorance and overvalue high-level details that are leaky abstractions which make the consequentially dissimilar look superficially similar.
Oh cool to hear! I didn't knew people were trying to build this - I think that's pretty fascinating, although also a difficult to pull off as a community - how do you manage malicious actors both on the ingress but also at the service layer if there is no commercial "contract". Currently those questions are even hard to address on a single-IP vHost level, so I'd be curious to hear what your thoughts are on that topic.
With the non-profit doesn't mean non-commercial, so what is your idea in that regard?
> With the non-profit doesn't mean non-commercial, so what is your idea in that regard?
Well in this context, I would love it if it was possible to have it non-commercial itself but perhaps what I am thinking right now is more similar to having a free tier for users to try out some free tunnels and they can realize the mission of 'being fair'. I am gonna be honest about how much it costs me and pretty much gonna just charge enough to offset that for a few months/years imo. I really don't want to earn as much or am motivated by it to be quite frank.
If the project really takes off then maybe just enough to maybe work on it full time or having a team to have enough to feed family :)

So for this, Consider the fact that I am just starting out, I suppose the answer is that I am looking out for more reasonable cloud provider who can offer good ingress support & having and talking to providers is an experience (which I enjoy!) and having people message.
Also regarding right now I think the answer probably revolves around having 1 host with cheap ingress & then scale out as such and once the project gets to a decent scale, I would assume it would have me credited enough to take on large grants from other non providers (like Nlnet) too to expand further and then have to worry about anycast itself as well
Currently, the idea is to work with low end providers themselves. They are usually more reasonable about all such stuff regarding abuse starting out given that I could be sleeping and someone can bombard. So I love talking to the company owner themselves in this context.
I do feel like its a bit of pitch that I am giving right now so let me try to be more honest why I felt like this.
I realized that on my netcup servers, I was over utilizing on cloudflare tunnels. I loved the idea of hooking it up and had made custom scripts which can literally just be ./expose.sh <PORT> subdomain.domain.com and it would use cf tunnels internally. Ended up deploying a lot of services with this + podman/docker.
Until recently it broke but that's aside from the matter but also I just felt like even with netcup and having an ipv4 I was using the idea of cf tunnels because I could be using it even if there was ipv6 & actually to use cf tunnels you need to migrate the domain to cf which means that you also have to have them handle domain and dns too with their nameservers.
To me combined with the fact that ~12% of internet routes through Cf & the fact that technically all of this is uncensored. It's just that we are trusting cf when we use tunnels.
Now the chances of cf abusing it is quite low but another context with which I wanted to create was that I have personally been also fascinated with trying to have alternatives to American companies.
And the whole reason I thought all of this was that I wanted to migrate my dns from cloudflare to desec.io which is a non profit german dns provider. But that would mean that I would lose all of my cloudflare tunnels. This just didn't sit right with me and made me realize of all of this and out of curiosity started wondering how much would it cost to make a cf tunnel alternative and thought of asking it on lowendtalk and figuring things out as I started wondering if an non profit idea might make sense.
To be honest, I think I should make a website about the idea :) but the issue is that I feel pretty hidden (I don't use anything other than hackernews maybe some bluesky) and like I don't have any followers or anything to go point out.
I do feel like with my frugality, I will try to absolutely minimize any costs if someone donates to me and I just like doing these things and really just want to build it because i feel like I can build it.
Do you have any suggestions for me? I would love to know from a real human being because the feeling of seeing all this hyped product and then seeing that no matter what you talk about, chances of you being not visible online are quite high is something that I am start to believe in.
Do you think that i should try to start a kickstarter perhaps? Or how do I seek donations first, I genuinely don't know and I would seriously love your feedback.
Thanks for asking me about this project and wishing you and your family a nice day miduii!
Did you give https://gitlab.com/RadianDevCore/tools/gcil a try yet? The developer has been a pretty long record of maintaining the project and it allows you to get some level of debugging locally before pushing.
Same experience, GitLabs CI/CD language is to me so much better - it has really strong abstractions and you can model a lot of developer experience into it. Especially when it comes to security practices of GitLab CI, but also custom runners, web terminals, ... there is just so much that is shining much more than any other Git forge with built-in CI/CD.
> The 10GB limit per project sounds small on paper but I’ve never come close to hitting it
The docker images don't have limits, there is a limit per layer. IIRC I've distributed a 100GB image through their free tier (just had to make sure to keep the layer size small enough).
Has someone made a p2d yet where they split a 4K movie into a bunch of docker layers to push and pull through an OCI registry? I have a 70GB REMUX copy of Interstellar that I'd love to docker push to gitlab.
