This looks great, thanks!

This looks like an interesting tool… if it had helm charts for all of the components I think it would be easier to deploy…

good idea

The guy if you care about systems performance, in a detailed way, for sure!

Someone ask him how many OS kernel bugs he’s found now? He finds the weirdest things… a tally would be “interesting”.

Is there a github repo for this? Free to use isn't the same as source-freely-available...

Sorry, we are not open-source. Also, it's free to use till beta :) although there would be a free plan even after that. We don't plan to open source it till we have enough momentum to support ourselves with the project. This is for profit project. Your data is yours but the software is ours, till the revenue supports us. After which we do plan to open-source it.

This actually amused me for a few minutes - I played Carmen Sandiego last in the very early 90s and I got a nice nostalgia hit from this. OIDC logins and a backend where you can store progress and achievements would be a nice addition. Heck, even storing the data in my local browser’s store would be okay. :-)

My favorite places as a kid were libraries - they provided the opportunity for exposure and enrichment that I would have otherwise lacked. They are so much oh-holy-shit important, especially if you want to advance beyond the means of whatever dinky little town you happen to live in. I am significantly different and better because I had access to lots of materials to read - not money, just access. I owe very much to a school librarian and a town librarian in Wilkes county NC - they absolutely changed my life for the better. If I thought they might still be living I would love to tell them so. (Each of them would be over 100 years old now…)

Conflation is probably wrong. But librarianship is one of the most hacker-adjacent places I’ve ever worked. I fought pretty damn hard to keep UNIX tooling very directly in the information science curriculum at Indiana - circa 2005 or so. It was in serious danger of getting removed - I was just a graduate student but I got my butt on the right committee where I could articulate the need for tools and textual technologies to stay on the map there. Taking them away from the students would have been doing them a massive disservice.

You think people understand corruption? If they did, would they find anything remotely wrong with it?

Folks are pretty dishonest about their motivations, overall. I don’t even think it’s a partisan issue anymore.

My local bbs scene had a ton of qmodem fans; mostly older guys who had been around a while. It was the late 286 and early 386 days for us, and I was in late middle school and early high school.
