In theory. In practice, every app is designed for X11 or Wayland, building your own means you need to follow what most people use anyway if you want to have any working app on your system, or rewrite every app yourself

5-10 years ago there were no apps designed for Wayland. If you build it they (app developers) might actually come!

"holding it wrong" is a reference to Steve Job's conference on the iphone 4. It was a design flaw that made the phone problematic so that's more of a way of saying "I think I use it properly" rather than "I think I use it as intended"

minio is dying, they focus on entreprise stuff now, the web ui has been gone for a few months, and now they changed the main repository to "maintenance mode"


tbf they stated in their article that those are not there YET multiple time. We'll wait and see once they're done


Yeah, so there's no way to make a new company? Unless you're directly bought by Atlassian because they are "known enough"?

I don't know Lattice so I would not use it.


Offering a selfhosted or local version would probably help alleviate those concerns.


I'll be doing this as a priority. I wanted to check there was concrete demand for it first, but I've now had enough requests that I'll be doing it.

YC has funded 5000 companies. from a quick Google search and only 20 have gone public and 3 of those have gone out of business

So yes, if you want to start a business your most likely outcome is going to be complete failure. Your second most likely outcome is muddling along in obscurity until you give up realizing you could make more money being an enterprise CRUD developer at a bank and not work as hard. The next outcome is you might get acquired.

Unless you are decision maker for a medium to large company, you shouldn’t have heard of Lattice.

But don’t you think before someone invest time in building something they hope to be successful they look at the landscape of others in their vertical?


There is a way: you have to make something that's better in a meaningful way, so that companies' management would want to SWITCH to it. And your new shiny thing also has to be compatible with all of the integrations, the ecosystem etc. that the current thing has.

I'm not even mentioning trust issues, when sensitive data is involved.

Doing anything less and hoping that companies would use your toy project is just wishful thinking. Sorry to be that guy, but please get real.


Always used Squoosh [1] for that. It does the job perfectly but its a bit heavy as its an electron app, I would not be paying for an image convert app, but I guess Mac users are more used to pay for everything. It seems that it can do bulk, I'm not sure squoosh can though

(After searching I can't find the Electron version, did it disappear?)

Even DDR4. Just checked, I bought a non-ECC 1x32go stick for my homelab on August 25th, priced 78€ on Amazon. Same offer is now at 229€. Yeah I guess I'll wait before updating to 64gig then


It reminds me very much of the crypto mining craze, when there was a run on GPUs and one couldn't be had for any less than 5x it's MSRP. I know that eventually passed and so too will this but it still sucks if you had been planning to purchase RAM or anything needing it.


I don't think DDR4 is even being manufactured anymore, so the rush is clearing out that inventory for good.


It is still being manufactured. Older memory standards continue to be manufactured long after they stop being used in computers, e.g. for use in embedded devices.


It's great to see this pop up once in a while on HN. Nice to see that it's been rewritten in Zig !


+1 on this, i'm running restic with resticprofile and backup to b2 it works flawlessly


(especially the Mercure protocol which makes stuff so simple)
