Debian + nix home-manager is hard to beat. Confining my bleeding edge software to be rootlesson top of a bulletproof distro is very much the same – boring (in the best way). Plus the latest apt in debian 13 just feels nicer than dnf to me somehow.

I don’t know much about NYC political dynamics, but a quick survey of Wikipedia seems to indicate he didn’t. By Wikipedia’s summary Cuomo all but owned the ‘Somewhat Conservative’ and ‘Very Conservative’ vote, it just turns out that those groups only make up 18% of NYC.

My guess is his win had more to do with gaining the establishment / centrist liberal vote than any ability to swing conservatives to socialism. My little experience tells me it probably had to do with focusing on practicality. Key points like tax funded busses and child care make voting for Mamdani voting for one’s self interest rather than an ideology.

Seems like this is mainly for early adopters. I can’t find a single popular app built with skip. Seems like a cool idea though!

I paid for it for years but it’s just too limited. Inbox rules suck. Tags technically exist but are half baked.

Searching your tuta inbox is terrible. By default it sets the search window to a few days, and searching your entire inbox takes (not exaggerating) ~1000x as long as any other provider I’ve used. Where I expect a few seconds it takes tens of minutes to search a time window of ~1 month which for me might be ~1000 emails total.

You can easily get proton notifications without google using youhavemail

Personally, I use NativeAlpha (PWA wrapper) and tweak the permissions until it just barely works for my needs.

My favorite tip is to set the PWA default address to instagram.com/?variant=following – which is JUST the accounts you follow with no recommended content / doom scrolling fuel.

Fair, but I haven’t found anything that is useful whatsoever that I can self host.

I feel like NixOS should be down a mineshaft underneath the Highs of Knowledge

And Guix somewhere below that

Just use Last.fm

Safer than sharkfuck[ing] probably

Since it’s actually open source licensed unlike grayjay then it’s already a step in the right direction

So you’re saying mine the moon?

Personally I use addy.io (previously anonaddy). Self-hostable and an easy way to get and control your own email @

And ah-I! would walk five hun-dred miles and ah-I! would walk five hun-dred more. To be! the man that walked five thousand miles! to win that bet for sure. DADADUH

I mean, I could write one! I kind of just pieced it together from guides on the three individuals

Edit: back of the napkin guide below is basically in the OpenWebUI docs already! I use NixOS (btw) but docker/podman should work well.

OpenWebUI + Ollama setup – tl;dr docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

OpenWebUI SearXNG guide – a little more involved, but not difficult.

You can self host that too ;)

OpenWebUI + Ollama + SearxNG. OpenWebUI can do llm web search using the engine of your choice (even self hosted SearxNG!). From there it’s easy to set the default prompt to always give you the top (10, 20, whatever) raw results so you’re not confined to ai results. It’s not quite duck.ai slick but I think I can get there with some more tinkering.

My understanding is it scrapes what it can’t meaningfully get out of an API. Public instances run into rate limiting, but private instances don’t really have that problem.

Therefore, the design files (schematics, PCB, case) will be made open-source when the campaign is finished and the design is finalized.
