• Happy 20th Anniversary, Gmail. I'm Sorry I'm Leaving You

  It really is hard to leave Gmail when all of your data has been conveniently stored therein. This is one of Google's retention strategies and it is indeed brilliant. That said, there's a vast number of self-hosted alternatives like Stalwart Mail (email) [1], Immich (images) [2], NextCloud (Google Docs) [3], etc. [1] https://stalwa.rt [2] https://immich.app [3] https://nextcloud.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Google suspends romance author's account for writing sexually explicit content

  Good open source self-hostable alternatives exist! https://nextcloud.com/ (no affiliation, just a longtime happy user) is great for file sharing and even collaborative online document editing. If you do not want to host your own instance, there are many great providers who will host one for you at a low cost. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• OpenBSD Upgrade 7.3 to 7.4

  See Configuration and syntax changes and Special packages. The latter this time includes changes around NextCloud 23 and Tor Browser prior to 12.5, both of which should be upgraded beforehand. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• The Tailscale Universal Docker Mod

  > Cloud storage for phones: http://nextcloud.com Thanks, that sums it up for me. I used OC/NC for years but in the last three I mostly abandoned it because the desktop app (for Windows, at least) is atrocious and Android one... isn't good either. But as on-demand document download with occasional upload it's fine. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Salesforce Shares Plunge by Most Since 2008 After Weak Outlook

  I was thinking of that a few weeks ago and wrote a (dumb) little story about it; I imagined Astro (SF mascot) is a ruthless mob boss controlling it all behind the scenes lol https://medium.com/@dannyisaphantom/benioff-astro-and-the-art-of-the-deal-692149f5dd36. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 hour ago

• Better RAG Results with Reciprocal Rank Fusion and Hybrid Search

  Thanks for sharing, I like the approach and it makes a lot of sense for the problem space. Especially using existing products vs building/hosting your own. I was however tripped up by this sentence close to the beginning: > we encountered a significant challenge with RAG: relying solely on vector search (even using both dense and sparse vectors) doesn’t always deliver satisfactory results for certain queries.

• Fossil fuels could have been left in the dust 25 years ago

  I find this an interesting statistics, in 2023 there were 36.5k total people employed in the US coal industry. [1] It's simply just not a lot of people in the grand scheme. That speaks to how industrialized coal production is in the US - it doesn't take that many people to do mountain top removal and drive heavy machinery. FWIW & for comparison, Circuit city at its peak employed 40k people, that's more people... - Source: Hacker News / 7 days ago
