I’ve spent dozens of hours reading philosophy over the last month or so as a beginner, and the work that so far has stood out to me is “Enchiridion”, derived from Epictetus’ Stoic teachings. It’s very short and practical - now a weekly read for me https://classics.mit.edu/Epictetus/epicench.html

Playing around with n8n - a self-hostable workflow automation SaaS. it's like Zapier but lets you leverage some advanced AI building blocks, like tools agents. Here's my first agent: a telegram bot that analyses incoming emails and pings me those that are actionable. Really powerful so far. ⚡️

/guess beta is back up! ⚡️ (new url: guess.ntik.xyz) should be considerably faster now with the app and database migrated to the US. Feedback appreciated as always 😀

/amp is now migrated from Vercel to self-hosted Coolify on Hetzner It's a decently big app with 0.2m records in a 5GB postgres db and a bunch of scheduled workflows orchestrated with cron. I used to pay roughly $50-60/mo for all of the data/compute on Vercel. Rolled a new Hetzner 8-core/16GB AMD instance in us-east ($30/mo). It hosts the database + app on the same machine. Vercel cron replaced with GitHub actions (which support cron-type scheduling!). Should eat only about 10% of the instance's resources 🚀 Growing more and more bullish on self-hosting.

Self-hosted Vercel with Coolify sometimes feels janky. I've already found many important places that are lacking, but this hasn't detracted much from the experience - it's exciting to find workaround when I'm saving $100s/mo on hosting. Plus I get to roll cool stuff like this open source monitoring dashboard 😀

where is the best geographic region to host frames to get the best response times from Warpcast, Supercast and others?

gm /guess crew ☀️ I've got the server restarting every 10 minutes which should hopefully mean that the crashes dissapear! please DM me if you see any issues.
