    • Project mention: Ask HN: Founders who offer free/OS and paid SaaS, how do you manage your code? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-13

    I’m building an Open Source multi-tenant email newsletter tool [1] and the project is entirely AGPLv3 licensed. I have automatic builds from the `main` branch that I deploy to the SaaS version while public Docker images are available only for tagged releases.

    There is currently no difference between the self-hosted and the SaaS version, but I am planning two things:

    1) An env variable `IS_SELF_HOSTED` which, when set to `false`, toggles certain features like billing (currently enabled via a separate env variable and theoretically available to self-hosters) and includes hard-coded stuff like a footer with links to the official project website and our ToS.

    2) Add a registration feature for self-hosters who make a donation. I haven’t fully planned out this feature, but if a self-hosted instance is registered by a paid supporter, it will most likely remove a call for becoming a supporter (that is yet to be added) or give them a supporter badge.

    Choosing the AGPLv3 has been partially inspired by Plausible’s very successful model [2]. They’re also using a `SELFHOST` env variable to differentiate between their "Enterprise Edition" and the "Community Edition" [3].

    🧠 Leon is your open-source personal assistant.

    • Project mention: Rabbit R1, Designed by Teenage Engineering | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-09

    It's indeed suspicious. You're sending your voice samples, your various services accounts, your location and more private data to some proprietary black box in some public cloud. Sorry, but this is a privacy nightmare. It should be open source and self-hosted like Mycroft (https://mycroft.ai) or Leon (https://getleon.ai) to be trustworthy.

  • nitter

    Alternative Twitter front-end

    • Project mention: Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-16

    Don't use Youtube without going through a proxy like Invidious [1] or Newpipe

    Don't use {site} Search without going through a proxy like SearxNG [2]

    Don't use TwiXXer without going through a proxy like Nitter - this has gotten more difficult lately but it still works as long as you feed the daemon some registered accounts. Video does not work at the moment but that seems to be fixable.

    Don't use Reddit without going through a proxy like libreddit [4]

    Start noticing the pattern? Maybe it is time to start producing promotional posters:

    The only thing to come between you and ADS could be a proxy / ADS. I'ts just not worth the risk

    ADS / New rules for a sane net / Sane net protects you, your partner and your community

    A proxy here and a filter there, ADS nowhere

    The more you tighten your grip, ${site}, the more viewers will slip through your fingers

  • PySyft

    • Project mention: A Better Mastodon Client | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-21

    https://github.com/OpenMined/PySyft - Federated Learning data science

    Incentives are much harder but smart contracts can handle the tech part.

    Going this route eventually you quickly have "quantum AI app store" and your system of government is a 12GB download. Can't even say if it's a good idea compared to e.g. anarcho-primitivism.
