Which software are folks using to run self-hosted / on-premises S3? I'm looking to replace MinIO in my homelab and would like to keep a S3 management UI.
None of those, if a quick search of "ui/gui/user experience" is of any indication.
Also looking for an alternative to MinIO since I also rely on the GUI for some things. But it feels like these things should probably be separate? Since they all expose a S3 compatible API interface, couldn't we have one GUI that can be used regardless of the backend?
Hi HN, I'm currently looking for my next step as a Cloud/DevOps/Platform Engineer.
Out of the technologies listed above, I particularly consider myself a expert in OpenShift and Kubernetes with several Yeats of professional experience.
I like building internal platforms, private clouds and focusing on developer experience.
More generally I have solid CS fundamentals and am good at problem solving, brainstorming, rapid prototyping and knowledge sharing.
I think Loki is pretty much the easiest thing you can find (if you want it to be multi server, at least).
Loki whole approach comes down to avoiding expensive indexing (compared to Elastic search et all.), and really on "grep" for searching instead.
I would really like to start converting some of my personal media and websites to use JPEG XL, but the momentum doesn't seem there yet - despite clear technical and practical benefits.
I just went ahead and did it, then included fallbacks to supported formats. What I really want is a standard way to let the browser request lossy or lossless images.
"CoRecursive: Coding Stories" (from Adam Gordon Bell) is one of the Podcasts I look forward to the most. Incredible high production value, yet very personal and down to earth.
Probably one of the best episodes is the interview with Andreas Kling, the author of Serenity OS
If you flip a bit in some file in a restic or Borg repository, you will lose data (the amount of which depends on the location, possibly the repository is corrupted). With error correction, that bit flip is corrected by the software from parities.

Description:
Hi HN, I'm currently looking for interesting consulting / freelancing positions.
Out of the technologies listed above, I particularly consider myself a specialist in OpenShift and Kubernetes - as I'm a currently an OpenShift cluster admin, I have several years of professional experience with these.
I like building internal platforms, private clouds and focusing on developer experience.
More generally I have solid CS fundamentals and am good at problem solving, brainstorming, rapid prototyping and knowledge sharing.
Off topic: it's such a breath of fresh air to read this content without 1) having to close half a dozen popups and 2) all in a single post and not painfully spread out across multiple messages.
Doesn't do targeted ads, so doesn't have to have an EU cookie popup.
Doesn't have an app, so doesn't have to try to make you install the app.
Doesn't do registered users growth hacking, doesn't have to have sign-up dialog.
The problem is, if and when they decide to monetise this thing they will have to have all of these because the money people and the analytics will tell them they have to.
Everything is much more fun when it's paid by someone else, that's why the old web was so nice. The content was produced for free and the distribution was handled by VCs. Today, these VCs are recouping their investments.
You equate VC with tracking and then equate VC with anyone that provides money whatever the intention. By that logic, you imply that anyone providing money (including a mom for his 14yo son) will track everyone and gather a lot of stats and push an app ? Remember WhatsApp did cost a few bucks a year and was self sufficient, it was bought by fb not because of cost of operation but to ensure market share.
Distributing a static HTML page content does not need a VC. Nginx on an RPI on my home connection does provide sufficient level of performance and availability. If I need more because my content is way popular, I guess a monetization scheme (asking for a tip) might cover it ?

Hetzner will give you a powerful server for ~30 bucks/month and includes 20TB of bandwidth for free (and overages are charged at ~1$/TB, almost 90x less than AWS). That's enough to host and serve a lot of content.
I really hope you're right but I don't think it will play out that simply for mastodon. I have high hopes for it, hopefully these problems are solved but with this rate of growth, what will happen when there's a big political event that used to cripple Twitter back in the day? I don't think tips will cover it.
Mastodon (and the general "fediverse") is an inefficient disaster by design, but if you ignore that and go back to old-school forum software, your Raspberry Pi will be just fine for a few hundred concurrent users (and way more for read-only traffic).
So if I order lunch, am I providing the capital required for the venture of ordering lunch? Is there anything in the universe that's not venture capital?
No. If you are s 14 years who is into hobbits and you are writing a fan fiction, your mom is a venture capitalist when feeds you and gives you pocket money which you used to buy a domain. She can be a venture capitalist or angel investor depending on her expectations. I guess it also can be a case of racketeering if she does that you just shut up, then you are the VC investing in your own stuff with the money you extorted by being a really annoying kid :)
Anyway, it doesn't matter. The gist is, someone else than the user paid for the experience without immediate expectation for profit from side channels and that's how we had free and awesome things.
No, you miss the point. Because of those who were paying their own hosting the rest was able to have free and awesome stuff. The paying out of pocket to show your own stuff to other people was the act of funding a venture. Some ended up turning these into profitable businesses.

And even that, content distribution was handled by a volunteer happy to chip in a few bucks to pay for shared hosting.
Content distribution (and infrastructure in general) nowadays is cheaper than ever thanks to technological advances (today's entry-level MacBook is more powerful than a lot of servers from 10 years ago).
There is absolutely a way to distribute content for very cheap nowadays if you know how to - you just have to avoid the rent-seekers like cloud providers.
On that vein, I recently joined home-barista, an old school web forum for coffee geeks.
That site is seemingly frozen in time from the early 2000s. There are no trackers - there's no need, since it is already filled with a self selected group. The ads are just simple banners. And best of all it filled with a group of passionate, kind and helpful folks. A simpler site from a simpler time. One of my favorite haunts on the web.
Those who relied on anything were decimated in the bubble of 2001.
Also, you're pretending that all of those sites were making a profit, or operated under the assumption of making a profit. There was a lot of money thrown at any and all internet companies by the end of 1990s. It's just that the market was much smaller.
