Props to you if you manage to follow this and squeeze it into 15 minutes. I‘ve genuinely never had a daily last less than 60 mins.

I realised I didn't mention it in the article, so in case you're curious it cost about $116 to run the 100k token version 100 times.

thank you, I was going to ask about this. It's not a crazy amount...

Because we want to run more than just Home Assistant on the same OS? Because traditionally OS and application layers were separated? Because we trust mature Linux distros more when it comes to LTS and security patches? Because we already know our way around Debian/Ubuntu/Nix/etc.?

Seconded. My home server does many things, one of which is homeassistant.

I see so much breathless adoration for Erlang and Elixir, how come it hasn't taken over the world in all this time?
ramy_d · a year ago
I think WhatsApp is still using Erlang and they are biggest messaging app in the world. Discord is using Elixir but it's more niche. I think if you look at use cases where they excel, you will find them there.

Yeah, it's sad. They started as simply an SMS gateway.

I still have a Twilio account, for my steampunk Teletype setup. It's a pure reply system - you text to a phone number, that's printed on a Teletype machine, and the sender gets an acknowledgement back. It's inbound SMS. Years ago, at Twilio's request, I demoed this at a Twilio convention.

Twilio now wants me to "register my marketing campaign" and pay an additional monthly "campaign" charge for the service. Their business model no longer comprehends a pure request-reply service. They now assume their customers want to spam.

what's the alternative for something straightforward like that?
ramy_d commented on Google declined to review an extension because they can’t find a Kindle to test   twitter.com/daniel_nguyen... · Posted by u/longnguyen

Yes.

How many random devices out there should they have laying around in case someone writes an extension that involves sending data to those devices? The Kindle accesses the internet through a WiFi network -- this would be required to test the functionality in the extension. Their security team should vet all of these devices, create environments where it's safe for them to be on the network, and ensure they're kept up to date also?

Yes? How else would they test anything?

Does toilet training your cat introduce a significant health hazard through toxoplasma gondii into the surrounding environment? It's so hard to tell if your local wastewater plant takes care of this...
