I have a APC Back-UPS 1600VA. It powers two desktop PC/Server, a monitor, and router. So far, it gets the job done.

The biggest downside is; battery is not user replaceable, at least it's not straight forward like the other models. If possible, prefer a UPS with the easy battery replacement option.

Road to success (2024 AI Hype Edition):

1. Clone VSCode.
2. Rename it as LSCode, squash all history, and create some random commits with --author="Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>".
3. Add a character AI that calls your code garbage.
4. Profit.

'Soon' is a questionable claim from a CEO who sells AI services and GPU instances. A single faulty update caused worldwide down time recently. Now, imagine all infrastructure is written with today's LLMs - which are sometimes hallucinate so bad, they claim 'C' in CRC-32C stands for 'Cool'.

I wish we could also add a "Do not hallucinate" prompt to some CEOs.

If that happens, I'll create a preemptive PR on KilledByGoogle.

DuckDuckGo also uses Bing under the hood.

I was a backend developer for a startup company where:

• Windows servers without any firewall and security hardening.
• Docker swarm without WSL. We had to use 4 GB Windows base images for 50MB web apps.
• MSSQL without any replication and backups.
• Redis installed on Windows via 3rd-party tool that looked like a 2010 era keygen generator.
• A malware exploited the Redis * what a surprise * and kept killing processes to mine crypto on CPU...
• VPS provider forgot to activate new Windows Server on production and it kept restart for every 30 minutes until I checked the logs and notified them about the missing license.

I left there after 6 months.

GitHub constantly becomes more bloated, clunky and privacy/license concerning AI BS. It almost feels like using 2010 TFS server with git flavor. Unfortunately, It has a huge user base and it's hard to incentivize people to use other platforms.

It's easier for well-established projects to host their own git infrastructure. But for new projects and solo developer, it harder to get interaction on other platforms. I think that's why even Gitea team uses GitHub as a main location for development. Similarly, I still mirror my public repositories to GitHub for the same reasons even though I prefer using my own Gitea server.

Biggest difference is being able to execute INSTCMD commands, at least that was the main reason why I developed my own tool. Another less important differences are: older ARM support and since it's written in Rust, it's much more efficient in terms of resource usage. TBH, being that efficient only makes sense for very low-power devices.

Besides that, I don't think you can go wrong with either project.

Jiatan probably is in shambles right now. Poor guy spends years to infiltrate in a project and got caught. Meanwhile CrowdStrike took whole infrastructure down with a single update.

I recommend Obsidian with community plugins. Application itself isn't open-source but your content stored as markdown files.

I just checked the manga artist's site, he also posted the source PSD files of the chapters. Literally gigachad move.
