samantha-wiki commented on The Missing Protocol: Let Me Know   deanebarker.net/tech/blog... · Posted by u/deanebarker

It seems like an alternative might be something along the lines of this, just a rough sketch

- Alice wants Bob to notify her about something

- Bob advertises an email address specific to that something

- Alice creates a disposable email address and requests that Bob notify her about that something at that disposable email address

- Alice only accepts emails to that address from Bob's something-specific email

- Once Alice receives an email from Bob's something-specific email she discards the disposable email

> I’d imagine you can set this up and run it easily from a NAS at home if you want, but I opt to keep my data safely protected in Switzerland, so I subscribe to about $100 monthly of server time to run my websites and all my integrations

This part confused me a bit. Wouldn't running the NAS at home be more safe and secure? Or are they talking about backup safety?

The author of the article researches far right extremism and has been targeted by certain groups in the past IIRC, I read this part as a concern about physical safety, but this is just my speculation.

I was fortunate enough to take this course with Ted Shifrin at UGA, he is an incredible professor (now retired), and it was one of my favorite courses when I was in undergrad.

I strongly disagree with this. “Computers” would have not been replaced with the machines that replaced them if those machines routinely produced incorrect results.

One could argue that for applications where correctness is not critical my position does not apply, however this is not the analogy that the article is making.

My fear is that if I were to start doing this, I would stop engaging in the difficult aspects of building something. And I think the skills I have now would atrophy.

I'm starting a PhD — essentially from tomorrow. It's a shame to see so much discouragement here, but at this point I'm no longer surprised. I also don't care because if left to my own devices I would do research anyway.

In the kindest possible way: screw all of you!

Then you're going to have a great time during your PhD, good luck and have fun!

I'd love an easier self hosted option too.

In the meantime, if you are in the Apple world then Goodlinks is a privacy friendly option for saving articles to read later.

I haven't found a decent alternative that can add articles via email like Omnivore. My workaround is to get the RSS link from Substack and add these to my RSS reader that I self host (FreshRSS).

samantha-wiki · a year ago
I’m looking into migrating to FreshRSS from omnivore now.

Does [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/165nnk6/comment...) solve the email ingestion issue for you?

samantha-wiki commented on An intuitive guide to Maxwell's equations (2020)   photonlines.substack.com/... · Posted by u/gballan
samantha-wiki · 2 years ago
One of my favorite parts of my education was going through E&M to arrive at the beauty of Maxwell's Equations.

I later found out that you can squeeze even more beauty out of them by boiling them down even further using differential geometry.

My question is, who's the target audience for this?

I only know about Linktree because it's used by some artists and Twitch streamers, and they're unlikely to self-host. So presumably this is targeted to a different audience than that.

samantha-wiki · 2 years ago
I use this for a set of applications that I self host that I give my friends access to. I use it as a quick and easy place to dump a couple links, and I can put it behind a reverse proxy.
