ignoring a rate limit gets you blocked.


Scrapers actively bypass this by rotating IP addresses.


makefiles /can/ do whatever you like. They can download anything on build.


looks like the installer still doesn't support LUKS2.


if that floats your boat, sure. It's also home to most of the world's malware, and you usually don't need it.


I wonder what the level of difficulty getting this to run as a cloud image (e.g. on Vultr or Digitalocean) would be. Or getting it to boot a GUI and run firefox.


Running as a cloud image can be relatively easy, you only need the default drivers from the kernel and need to get your image installed.

The latter can be done by booting into another distro and kexec'ing into your own kernel and performing the Installation afterward from memory. See also nixos-anywhere for a practical implementation of this


On digital ocean (at least) you can upload your own images and boot droplets directly from them.

In the past I've used a script called "alpine-make-vm-image" to run alpine images in digital ocean.

(Maybe that script does some magic to make booting a droplet directly from the image possible. On that I plead ignorance :)


Make an image with virtio drivers for network and storage, save it or convert it to qcow2 then register it into Digitalocean etc, it's quite easy.


this is kinda cool. Does that mean you can use u-root to embed as a UEFI image? or to boot a u-root image over PXE netboot?


"when you need shiny tech (you don't)" (aka, when to use postgres/sqlite)


if they pull out the AI stuff that'll be soooo cool :D


What AI stuff are you referring to? I just learned about this project from this blog post, so I don't have the full context on their AI work.


It seems the enterprise edition has AI features and the community version doesn't. So if you don't want AI, use the community version.

Why does the optional (supported only in the enterprise version) feature bother you?


Do you mean the spam detection algorythm or something else?


...the solution to IDORs is to authenticate each user and check authorization per object.

DNS is:

- simple

- battle hardened

- distributed

- affordable

blockchains are:

- essoteric, backwards, and not easily implemented

- new and unproven, frequently hacked

- effectively a ploy to centralize / redo Web 1.0 but owned by one blockchain

- ...waaaaaaay more about money and "owning something" than DNS is.
