Aider: AI pair programming in your terminal
Thanks for open sourcing this project! I've packaged it with nix to make it easier for others to use: https://github.com/nixvital/ml-pkgs/blob/main/pkgs/aider/def...
If you are running nixos, an example of using it can be found here: https://github.com/breakds/nixos-machines/blob/main/flake.ni...

Ask HN: How can a total beginner start with self-hosting
I have been there. The progress was rather slow until I started to use NixOS. The learning curve is a bit steep but is very rewarding. It is not specific to self-hosting stuff, but as a side effect it makes self hosting super easy (declarative, readable, etc).
For most of the services that you would like, you just write a simple configuration and deploy it. For example, to run the service shiori (https://github.com/breakds/nixos-machines/blob/main/machines...), or to host a game (terraria) server (https://github.com/breakds/nixos-machines/blob/main/machines...), or tailscale (https://github.com/breakds/nixos-machines/blob/main/base/tai...). Since Nix is also a very good package manager, you also do not have to deal with installing packages and managing their dependencies.
With my NixOS server I am running all the services you mentioned, and also my router is just a bunch of services running on a NixOS box.

Website Impersonating a Desktop Environment
Sandstorm really had this kind of feeling. Not that it presented as a desktop environment visually - but it offered a much more integrated “computer” of documents versus silod web site apps where you need to open each site to see the files in the app. https://sandstorm.io/

Ask HN: Experience using your user's Google Drive instead of a database?
RemoteStorage https://remotestorage.io/ seems to be trying to do this too
I also really like the https://sandstorm.io approach which goes a little farther beyond

Ask HN: WordPress vs. Django/Flask?
I did read from somewhere, that with Wordpress SEO plugins etc some website got to top of search results.
Those that did website with other tech did not get same results, and thinked how to compete or survive.
For security, I use Sandstorm https://sandstorm.io fork of WordPress that generates static websites. But that does not work with some interactive plugins.

Plunder and Urbit
Urbit made the choice to use a bunch of silly new words for familiar concepts, not because they were inventing something so new that there were no words to describe it, but because they wanted to fool people into thinking that's what they were doing. Actually they just spent 10 years trying to do https://sandstorm.io/, but made it 10 times harder than it needed to be by coming up with a wacky new set of programming languages with silly names for everything.
That's funny, and it is OK to make fun of it.

Cap'n Proto 1.0
I don't work at Cloudflare but follow their work and occasionally work on performance sensitive projects.
If I had to guess, they looked at the landscape a bit like I do and regarded Cap'n Proto, flatbuffers, SBE, etc. as being in one category apart from other data formats like Avro, protobuf, and the like.
So once you're committed to record'ish shaped (rather than columnar like Parquet) data that has an upfront parse time of zero (nominally, there could be marshalling if you transmogrify the field values on read), the list gets pretty short.
https://capnproto.org/news/2014-06-17-capnproto-flatbuffers-... goes into some of the trade-offs here.
Cap'n Proto was originally made for https://sandstorm.io/. That work (which Kenton has presumably done at Cloudflare since he's been employed there) eventually turned into Cloudflare workers.
Another consideration: https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/issues/2#issuecomment-...
