I'm glad you found it useful! :)

for what it's worth, I like it :) (but I'm not good at logos either, 😅). Interesting project anyway!

@infomaniak.bsky.social is hosting DeepSeek R1, Llama and other open weights model in Switzerland. You can access models through an API or via their chatbot UI. I haven't had a chance to try their service yet but it looks promising!

Anyway, I'm not sure these evening thoughts are worth putting in the article, I should probably go to bed 😅

This would not only save you money but give you system portability: no vendor lock-in: a cloud provider shutting down your server over the breach of some obscure ToS clause ? Redeploy that *exact* system on any cloud provider in an hour or so

Of course a bare VM and a managed service are very different offerings; managed services are very convenient. But what If configuring a server was convenient too? Not quite as much as a managed service, but enough to reconsider the premium that cloud providers make you pay for these services

When you get used to managing your servers instead of buying into managed services for everything, you end up paying literally 20x less for your compute resources. Just compare managed database services to virtual machines on Hetzner or Infomaniak or other affordable cloud providers

I've tried to showcase the main selling points of Nixos in this article (declarative, reproducible systems), but now that it is published I feel I should edit my conclusion to add another benefit : infrastructure costs

My head is full of great songs and images (those pyrotechnics on Live and Let die! 👌)

I’m going to his second show tomorrow. I feel truly blessed ❤️

Paul addressed the audience in French, which was lovely. The musicians of the band were all great; Abe Laboriel Jr. in particular (but maybe I’m biased cause I like drums 😬)

Speaking of which… seeing McCartney tonight was beyond amazing. Paul and his band delivered a long, generous show with a perfect setlist of songs from the Beatles, Wings and PM’s solo career. This concert in Paris was also the first live performance of « Michelle » in a long time!

I’m sorry about the lack of alt text : it was a picture taken from inside the Paris La Défense arena stadium, showing a poster of Paul McCartney’s Got Back tour on a giant screen ☁️🎸

And sqlx’s compile-time verified queries make the development experience absolutely great. The “if it compiles, it works” vibes are strong, and they’re my favorite vibes
