According to the post it’s available on Personal too.


But not for Starter. I wonder what's the reasoning of excluding only the Starter plan.


To encourage commercial users to upgrade and pay more I guess.


Catppuccin is also very extensive: https://github.com/catppuccin/catppuccin


Oh that one's a lot more to my taste than Dracula is!

I'm partial to the muted tones of JetBrain's dark mode colours. I'd love it if there was a theme like that with such an active developer (community)!


Is this going to be truly free and open source or is this one of those situations where for now it's "free" and then in the future people get slapped with some ridiculous pricing and/or license changes?

I don't mind paying for software but I'm starting to get a bit sick of investing my time and money on software that is just looking to generate buzz and then the other shoe drops...


In my opinion this happens because people start projects as a side project, then they get attention and need more and more time. So either you somehow invest more time (work less on your normal job) or get more contributors/ a team. The first option is happening more often, so you need income to replace your normal job where we mostly end with your described situation.

shows:

     api_url: "https://app.spacedrive.com".to_string(),
     client_id: CLIENT_ID.to_string(),

     api_url: std::env::var("SD_API_URL").unwrap_or_else(|_| "https://app.spacedrive.com".to_string()),
     client_id: std::env::var("SD_CLIENT_ID").unwrap_or_else(|_| "04701823-a498-406e-aef9-22081c1dae34".to_string()),
Obviously, there's a remote-hosted API over on app.spacedrive.com. And that's a REALLY SUSPICIOUS guid. ^_^

But yeah, if it was actual FLOSS software, and not what seems to be "open source client but closed source for-pay server", I think I'll pass.

And well, I don't them wanting to know my contents, or even my metadata.


They state that they will have paid tiers on the site [0]:

"At its heart, Spacedrive will always be open source and free. However, we do offer optional paid services to boost your experience. For instance, with a subscription to our cloud service, you get an encrypted database and preview media backup, file transfer options, ample storage, and backup plans. These are perfect for individuals, teams, and businesses looking for better collaboration.³

Connections between devices in your network are always peer-to-peer, and never go through our servers. We do not have access to your data, and we never will. Our cloud service is completely optional, and you can use Spacedrive without it."

which is it you want because that sounds contradictory.


I think GP is saying that they are fine with reasonable and upfront pricing, but wary of surprises.


In theory this would also work with a Everdrive?


Modern Vintage Gamer has confirmed that the Analogue Pocket works with both the GB everdrive and the GBA everdrive in his Analogue Pocket review [1]

It does, however the sleep functionality doesn't work when used with an Everdrive, as confirmed by DigitalFoundry.


There is speculation that it will run quite a bit: https://old.reddit.com/r/AnalogueInc/comments/r86i0w/kevtris...


Yeah, no reason why it wouldn't.


It does but only on Windows and for C# projects:

Love Peter Watts' work but be warned that his writing is super depressing (in a good way), specially his Rifters Trilogy. My favorites are still Blindsight and it's follow-up, Echopraxia. The ideas on those books about sentient life are eye opening and something I still think is heavily debated in the scientific community.


Of his catalogue, I like Blindsight best probably, it's one of those fundamental science fiction novels that asks a new question and stays with you for a long time, without being too cerebral.


I'm a bit conflicted about these books. The ideas are super interesting but the characters seem very "cardboard-like". Also they are bit too long and by the 3rd book I didn't care anymore... Still, pretty interesting on their own.


Yeah he doesn't really build characters. It's kind of grand narrative that individuals don't really matter. Kinda makes sense in the story though.


Congrats man, I love the book and the final physical/PDF book layout/design is amazing!


Thank you! It looks really nice in person, if I do say so myself. It's so cool to see the illustrations in full crisp 600 DPI.


How's Wayland + Gnome working for fractional scaling in HiDPI screens? Last time I tried some applications like Chrome, Firefox and others would be all blurry.


In the past I've used Hashicorp Vault to handle this kind of situation. Granted, it's an additional piece of infrastructure to manage but Vault has been pretty solid for this kind of situation and others where you need to safely manage secrets.


If you dont mind, how did you set it up? I have vault right now but I dont know exactly how to use it for ssh'ing.


The process is pretty simple but their documentation is pretty good. When I was starting out I found this video which helped me get started: https://www.hashicorp.com/resources/manage-ssh-with-hashicor...
