I mean all the plug-ins should work

“Blonde” was one of their early attempts at this. They know when the story is losing you so then they have a few minutes of Ana De Armas topless, fapping, etc to get your attention back.

Own your notifications or they will surely own you.

My favorite sites for actual ebooks are Humble Bundle and Fantastic. But these are predominantly tech books. No idea where I’d get good fiction in epub today.

Addendum: that specific site is dog shit. Imagine thinking you just bought an ebook but instead you bought a lease to some DRM shit that only works on their app.

EPUB or GTFO.

I hear you saying that, but the books I want to buy are never on those sites.

Why do young people pop into a community that has been around for decades and wonder why the old people who built it are still around?

I’m looking forward to after all this mess is over, all of the felony charges that he’s going to get hit with just for what he’s been up to the past few weeks.

.us is often fun.

I guess I’ve just experienced too many times the pain of a sqlite database getting corrupted.

Let’s also remember that “U.S. officials” now describes MAGA flunkies that replaced actually qualified professionals.

Yeah I was just thinking… this is not at all how the tools work.

As someone who actually approves $$ for tech vendors in an American company, I can tell you that no matter how cheaply China-based services become, they still aren’t going to be seriously considered. Anthropic and OpenAI are based out of San Francisco. Legal jurisdiction to resolve contract disputes, breaches of confidentiality, etc. can be resolved in a fairly straightforward way between two American companies, especially when they are headquartered in the same court district.

Chinese companies exist inside of a legal safe harbor where they have less incentive to play by the rules, and a much lower risk of consequences for getting caught breaking them. The risk isn’t worth the perceived savings.

It’s going to impact American consumers a hell of a lot more.

Think of it more like a push notification server than a messaging platform. You would need a service that sends push notifications to Gotify topics. I get the sense that under the covers it works a lot like MQTT where you have apps publishing messages to topics, and you have consumers (in my case, iGotify app on iOS) that pull those messages off the topic and present them to the user as push notifications.

Though… I think I need a better iOS client than iGotify. It’s not actually giving me any push notifications so it’s missing the whole point for me.

It’s got an open API so really there’s a lot more than my own use case.

I’m using it right now for getting notifications from flows in ActivePieces (I don’t want to get spammy with my site, which is the link in the original post, but there’s a how-to on getting that up and running also… ActivePieces is like a self-hosted Zapier)

I have a few things going on. I’ve been blogging some of my notes on how I’m getting some things going in Docker. But I only relatively recently started sharing my notes so there’s not a ton yet. Hopefully there’s something useful for someone here. https://magnus919.com/tags/selfhosting/
