There used to be a couple non-subscription ones. I’m still using Prompt 2, but of course it’s been superseded by the subscription-bound Prompt 3 on the App Store for some time now.

+1 in the same boat here. Only subscription I'm paying now is Signal backups, I simply can't justify the one-time price of 100$ they charge for Prompt 3

How does it compare to the (extremely expensive) Prompt 3 app? I'm still stuck with Prompt 2 which I now don't even see on the App store anymore. Been waiting for a decent non-subscription based alternative

Which would be the best/recommended ways to compare the official images to their hardened versions, and could most of the differences be baked into the original images by default? Wondering specifically about something like postgres.

nvm... seems like 'docker history' should work to compare images

I use Let’s Encrypt. It is an amazing service and I am forever grateful.

However, it is time for a second source of free certificates. It is not good that we rely on one supplier.

I only recently realized that Caddy by default uses LetsEncrypt and ZeroSSL, so seems like there already is an alternative. Haven't used it myself yet
a-l-e-c commented on Ask HN: A horror movie based on the shocking real-life behavior of crows?    · Posted by u/amichail
a-l-e-c · 3 months ago
Whenever crows are mentioned I think back on the idea of using crows against your enemies [0]. I'm sad and relieved that I live in a country where we don't have crows ...yet?

The idea itself could be rather interesting but rather a dark-comedy instead of only horror focused.

I wish I could, but they banned me and won't disclose why.

That being said, Claude Code produces the best code I've seen from an AI coding agent, and the subscriptions are a steal.

Same with my account. My only conclusion is because I use a VPN. Gave them my real phone number so they already know my actual country, but still banned after a few months of on/off usage. I might consider setting up another PC for it someday, but they clearly don't want anyone to use them via VPN. Another option I considered is OpenRouter.

It's open source, self host it. Or find some paying customers.
a-l-e-c · a year ago
That's quite challenging to do. I've myself spent quite a few hours looking into it and came to the conclusion that they make it their goal to complicate the self-hosting by lack of detailed docs. For example: I recall seeing a comment/warning in their docs similar to "for production, don't use this default setup" and it kinda felt more like "tough luck, figure it out or fork out $ome ca$h". Perfectly fine business model, but not 100% self-hostable on a production level (even for a very basic app)

I wish Kobo would accept my Kindle as partial payment for one of their units. Can't wait to switch away from Bezos.
a-l-e-c · a year ago
Made the switch myself not long ago. Only thing that annoyed me: I was still forced to connect the device to "activate" it. Even though I use VPN on my router, it still seems silly that the device I purchased requires such activation. Anyway, after that I installed KoReader (along with a font called ChareInk6SP) and started to transfer epubs from Calibre via KoReader's Calibre plugin. If you have a large collection on Kindle I would suggest you first try and get those into your Calibre before doing anything else.

Does anyone have access to the full specs of some SD cards? To get access to the full specifications it seems like you're forced to join the SD Association: 2500$ p/year
