Nobody is unaware of the knowledge cutoff, and sharing the Wikipedia article is not helping anyone. Your point is easily rebutted by taking whatever open weights/source model has an outdated cutoff and training or fine tuning it on more data, which is again always going to be viable given a modicum of compute
When the Renaissance Periodization team came out with an app that was a PWA, many in the fitness community (read: not as aware of the benefits of a PWA) panned it for just being a "website" rather than an app; people don't understand PWAs or even web apps or any of the parlance we use or the differences in implementation we are so often aware of to the point of not realising how the average person views them
I think it still fulfills the brief; the website you are accessing is still hosted "nowhere". Very cool concept, just read about fragments on the MDN docs a couple month ago
But dependencies are part of a website? It literally says "Still here when the internet isn't." - but I can't go on there without an internet connection?
Service Workers can cough up this stuff even without a connection, provided you already visited the site once before. This is how sites like Twitter still load their bones even without a connection.

Crazy to hear someone reading about something today, that been around since the 90s and probably is one of the first parts you touch when doing web development, but I guess you're just another one of the 10K lucky ones :) (https://xkcd.com/1053/)
It's not gaslighting; you're not the average consumer by the simple fact that you know what HN is. My 12 year old cousins havE daily driven ElementaryOS for a year
Frankly insane and speaks to the entitlement of many users that they are against Micay and GOS on this primarily because their online comms are abrasive; I'm used to this having seen the same from many in the Minecraft and Skyrim mods communities, but it still stands saying: You are not owed ANYTHING from a free software developer. They can say anything they want to you and revoke the software at any point or anything they wish - they are providing the software for purely no reason but they want to. If Micay wants to be rude on main he has absolutely every right to do so; if you don't like it, don't use his software. He's not a steward or paragon of virtue just because he has a popular software project, and it's extremely easy to stand on a soapbox and say "If I was in that position, I'd be so much better!" To all the detractors in this thread, I beg you: go make software and give back instead.
P.S. I avoided making any statements about what I personally think about Micay and the GOS team's behaviour above because I don't use it and have never looked into it before reading this article, but from looking at the comments, the WIRED article, the forum thread linked in this post, and some cursory research, it just seems like they are a popular software project that is at odds with many powerful actors with obvious motivations against their existence and popularity - if they are constantly combative online instead of being friendly, don't you think part or all of it may be because they have to defend themselves against attacks instead of having the freedom to be friendly like say SQLite/FFMPEG/Rust/other free software projects? I'm admittedly new to HN but this entitlement and refusal to empathise with the people giving you free shit seems insanely out of character
The point being made is if the project and code were important to you, you wouldn’t be judging it based on the founder’s social media habits…just how it runs, and if it continues to do that year after year.
Vultr is goated, I've been using them since ~2020 and have never had any issues. I stopped a year or so back and recently went through the whole onboarding process again and it was dead simple even 6 years later, with barely any price increase compared to other providers. Hetzner will always be the worst to me because plainly their UX sucks; I can't imagine if I was a non-technical user trying to use it
Trying to figure out how to get a job in this market for someone with sub 3 YoE in the industry :/ It's hard out there for juniors, y'all. I'm working at a company that I thought I could stay for years in, but my CTO left and now I'm shafted with basically all of their responsibilities - I'm not overly perturbed by this, as it's well within my ability, but I would much rather spend the next few years as an IC and really develop my skills as a SWE rather than jumping to manager this early... Also just getting an interview is insanely hard nowadays for some reason!
It's hard out there for everyone in this market. I've got literal decades of experience, but I've been pounding the virtual pavement for month after month, and still nothing.
20 solid years of experience, self-employed at the moment, but I got curious a while back and started browsing jobs, and it's ... well, tough to even find something unless you're an extreme specialist and trust to bank on that technology or niche sustaining you through the next few years.
To be honest it sounds like you hit the jackpot there.
You say this is a company you could see yourself working at for some time, and have been handed C suite level responsibility that you can handle. So seemingly you are content and able to handle the work load.
Learning to be a IC is something anyone can do given time, but learning to be a manager can only be learned by being on the job, if you are able to get it in the first place.
Now is really not a good time to jump ship, unless you know for certain that the new position is going to be stable.
Grab the opportunity, do a good job and perhaps study how to be a better IC in your free time. You'll come out on the other side with skills and experiences that many in this field will be missing.
Well I wanted to mainly commisserate with others also trying to job search so I didn't mention this, but its a relatively early stage startup with a very flawed business direction, which is why the CTO and the COO left, so it's a genuine sinking ship I'm trying to get off.
Still, thank you for the advice - I am definitely doing my best to make the best of my work hours!
I'm with you on this. I will hit 3 YoE in June and have been doing excellent in my current role yet having no luck finding a new job. Interviews are hard to come by and I'm a month out on even getting a rejection reply from some companies.
I've never used proxmox, but I've heard good things. Personally (and this is a bit crazy) the best bar none interface for containers I've used is the OpenMediaVault compose plugin - it's a NAS distro but I literally ran it on all my servers for years because of the UI
TrueNAS is also a NAS distribution and it has pretty good support for containers and VMs, so I’m not that surprised. They generally expect to be individual all-in-one type of servers.
