Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL]

This morning I needed a simple S3-compatible object store to test something. I did some quick searches to see what was handy and useful in that space right now, eventually found SeaweedFS, and it did exactly what I needed ...

And *then* I opened today's issue of The Crux by @daedalus which would have given me this exact answer immediately and saved me a lot of time.

Don't repeat my mistake. Always read The Crux with your morning coffee before you attempt any other work.

@mike @daedalus At the Time Loop Café, SeaweedFS has replaced MinIO recently for exactly the purposes in the linked article, with great success.

@uep @mike @daedalus Nice, I was going to ask how Mike likes it as doing some sort of object storage is on my to-do list.

I will doubtlessly make this harder for myself by putting it inside of the kubes but it looks nice.

@fwaggle @uep @daedalus my use case this morning was mostly "I want to try this thing on my laptop without messing with ACLs and shit" and was very impressed by how quickly and efficiently it got me to that point.

I will definitely want this in some other contexts as well though.

@mike @daedalus ... would do so, but I get "TypeError: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource." when entering my email address for signup ...

@mherbert @mike sounds like an adblocker preventing the form from talking to kit.com or similar.

@daedalus @mike using uBlock origin - kit.com seemed to be in the allow list, turning it off completely and reloading the page didn't appear to help ... using a scratch profile without an ad blocker worked fine ...

@mherbert @mike I want to move away from it, but my half-implemented newsletter sender in my website isn't working enough yet and I have no time to work on it. [Other options don't meet my criteria for fully-self-hosted, free software that uses my own self-hosted email server to send+receive]

@daedalus @mherbert @mike I had the same goals for the sizzle and shaved the yak so much it is now naked and cold

@decryption @mherbert @mike all I need from Ghost is to support something like Postal but every time I look they are still welded to Mailgun or whatever paid service it is.

@daedalus @mike I thought the data point on the signup experience might be useful, wasn't looking to add to your stress level there, apologies ...

@mherbert @mike no, not at all! thank you for noting it. It's good to have the reminder occasionally.
