If you’d like to learn more about Haptic, why it’s being built, what its goals are and how it differs from all the other markdown editors out there, you can read more about it here.

As others have noted, the app doesn’t work on mobile yet. Anybody willing to share the content here for mobile users?

That basic idea is roughly how compression works in general. Think zip, tar, etc. files. Identify snippets of highly used byte sequences and create a “map of where each sequence is used. These methods work great on simple types of data like text files where there’s a lot of repetition. Photos have a lot more randomness and tend not to compress as well. At least not so simply.

You could apply the same methods to multiple image files but I think you’ll run into the same challenge. They won’t compress very well. So you’d have to come up with a more nuanced strategy. It’s a fascinating idea that’s worth exploring. But you’re definitely in the realm of advanced algorithms, file formats, and storage devices.

That’s apparently my long response for “the other responses are right”

This is an especially tragic case. IMO, Gitea has one of the best names in software.

I recently discovered k3d. It’s a light wrapper around k3s, which is kubernetes on docker. It’s amazingly easy to use! If you have docker installed, you can learn the commands and create a k8s cluster in under 5 minutes.

For anyone like me that likes k8s, k3d is a fantastic alternative to docker compose!

The simplest way is certainly to use a hosted service like GitHub Pages. These make it so easy to create static websites.

If you’re not flexible on that detail, then I next recommend Go actually. You could write a tiny web server and embed the static files into the app at build time. In the end, you’d have a single binary that acts as a web server and has your content. Super easy to dockerize.

Things like authentication will complicate the app over time. If you need extra features like this, then I recommend using common tools like nginx as suggested by others.

OpenTelemetry

If you’re up for it, it’s generally better to not backup everything. Only backup the data that you need. Like a database. Or photos, music, movies, etc. for personal data. For everything else, it’s best to automate the install and maintenance of your server.

Disclaimer: this does take more effort!

This really depends on the services you’re interested in. If you want something like aws, then no 🙂

There are plenty of other service providers that do things more ethically. Bitwarden is good, random example in my opinion. The software is e2ee and their service just syncs data between your devices. It’s not really possible for the bitwarden, the company, to read or mishandle your data in a way that matters. Note that this doesn’t apply to the credit card info for paid accounts. Still, this is what I consider “the good guy”.

So what services are you looking for?

While you’re probably right overall, there are many good reasons to use k8s. The api provides all sorts of benefits. Kubectl, k9s, and other operational UIs . Good deployment models and tools like argo. Loads of helm charts that are (theoretically) ready to use.

No, those things aren’t free. There’s a lot of overhead to running k8s.

You can also take a look at open telemetry. It’s a huge open source project with lots of functionality. Handles logs just fine and also can provide metrics and traces too. Might be overkill for your needs but it’s an excellent tool.

Well I’m also not entirely sure what you’re looking for. But here’s my guess 😅

None of this stuff should run under the account of a human user. Without docker/compose, I would suggest that you create one account for each service, deploy them to different directories with different permissions. With docker compose, just deploy them all together and run it all under a single service account. Probably name it “docker”. When an admin needs to access, you sudo su - docker and then do stuff.

Well that’s interesting! But I don’t write see how that would work. Mind explaining a bit more? Perhaps s little demo with notes from two workspaces?

I don’t think this satisfies your use cases perfectly but an interesting solution for sure. I prefer note taking in vscode using the patricklee.vsnotes extension. Here’s a write up on it at c/vscode. You can commit your note changes to a git repo on github or other elsewhere, giving you access from many different places.
