But he couldn't run fast enough to escape, so probably no \s

Yes there is lots of evidence that jemalloc fares better in high concurrency applications.

Fun fact, jemalloc was the default allocator for rust but was dropped off and use default system allocator to have smaller binary size

I like the current approach with focus on plain file sync and sharing. Keep it up!

I typically self host with full disk encryption which I trust more than application level encryptions. Guessing that works for most self hosters

Thank you for working on this. As a long term user of Nextcloud, I appreciate alternatives. Nextcloud is a beast with a lot of features but most of the folks I know including me use it mostly for files so projects like these can be useful.

Most lightweight alternatives I found use some non standard format to store files instead of leaving it to the filesystem which keeps me away from using those. I am glad bewCloud is not doing that.

Think of it as a productivity hack - Less time spent switching apps means more time enjoying your distractions right where the real work happens: the terminal! :)

IPv6 is so expansive and seemingly endless that it reminds me of driving through the Midwest

> Author claims it doesn't connect to internet even though it has full network access permission

Hi! Watomatic developer here. The newer version does access internet (Github API) for following reasons: - To show release notes in the app - (in works) To warn users about outdated versions. This is an issue esp in the non Google Play landscape. - (in works) To show recent contributors list in the About section ...

Having access to internet made lots of things easy so thought that was a pragmatic choice :)

Looks like a great book but was unable to download. Tried with more than one emails.

Edit: Looks like they programmed it to work only with Gmail and probably other mainstream email providers.

They may not remove FB but they may just stop accepting updates if Facebook does not comply

Hi HN!

I recently made this auto reply app for WhatsApp with a focus on moving away from it. Many are having a hard time convincing friends and family to move away from WhatsApp and I hope this tool helps with that.

It basically just auto replies to all WhatsApp messages with the message you set. Just enable it and set a message something like "Hey I am not using WhatsApp anymore. Please switch to Signal" and it takes care of the rest.

- Simple: Set the message and it auto replies to all WhatsApp messages - Option to Auto reply to group chats - Respects your privacy - No analytics or tracking - Does not connect to Internet - Free an open source (GPL)

Future improvements (just a couple weeks away): - Option to set reply frequency: For example users can set reply frequency to 1 day and it only replies once a day for each person/group. - Support for auto replying Facebook messenger

Please let me know what you think!

Wow this is super amazing (and little horrifying). Never knew SVG can contain Javascript. Always thought of it as just a little safe vector graphics markup.
