This is the correct answer, routing between subnets is how it’s suppose to work. I think there are some edge cases like DR where it seems like stretching L2 might sound like a good idea, but it practice it gets messy fast.
> So I’ve always had this weird obsession with building my own iMessage agent - like, imagine your own bot living inside your iPhone, sending messages, replying smartly, maybe even trolling your friends a little
Then I found out companies like Linq Blue and SendBlue (both YC) charge over $1000/month just to do this. Yeah, no thanks.
So I built it myself.
iMessageKit is an open-source TypeScript SDK that lets you send and operate iMessages programmatically. Texts, photos, even RCS messages - all through a clean, strongly typed API.
Now I can build iMessage bots and automations without burning cash, and honestly, it feels great to beat the paywalls.
Would love feedback & ideas!

I think the tech stack is interesting, don’t agree with OP tasteless choices here (hitler basically) and still, think the work is implemented well -especially iMessage integration.
I’m wondering about how ethical it is to load down a resource in this way, open to opinions. There is a mention “I didn’t hammer down the servers” but what does that really even mean? The site isn’t being used as intended and just curious how other people feel about that.
I don't know, probably not. My dad has wet macular degeneration, and it's treated with injections into the eyeball every few months. The treatment works well, but timing the injections is tricky. Too often and the side-effects become significant. Not often enough and you can get a retinal bleed, which my dad did. Fortunately he regained most of the vision lost in the bleed, and now they've increased the frequency of the injections. He'd probably be blind by now without them. Not to mention the cataract surgery and the glaucoma...
I was prescribed vit a palmitate, lutein, and DHA. The vit prescribed was a high dose, like 10k iu per day. I cut back on that dose, I'm going blind but I also need to consider my general health. I have ushers syndrome, not md, but it's a retinal disease (retinitis pigmentosa).
To be clear, this is prescribed as a "we can't do anything else for you" thing, since there is no cure for RP. This may or may not actually help.
They're also working on mRNA treatments, there is the LUNA study currently underway. Unfortunately I have a rare variant that isn't covered by this treatment. I'm hopeful but alas I live my life like treatment isn't coming because it's probably not.
Wearing sunglasses apparently helps. You just need to make sure they have a proper UV rating, a lot of the cheap ones you get online don't do a good job of blocking UV.
Years ago I saw on TV a report where people bought several sunglasses sold in the street in Brazil and compared to the expensive brands and they all cut UV quite effectively.
Not that I would trust national TV test methodologies and risk my vision but it was a curious result.
My layperson understanding is this happens because the mechanism that dilates the pupil responds to visible light so glasses cause it to open wider, but if they don’t block UV then you end up with more UV exposure than if you didn’t wear anything
Most plastics are transparent to UVA, which is like 90% of UV that reaches earth's surface. They only start absorbing at higher UV frequencies. That's why sunglasses have dedicated UV ratings. You can bring your sunglasses to basically any optometrist and test how well they block UV. It takes 20 seconds and they'll probably do it for free.
Glass protects from UV bellow 350nm, which leaves 350nm-400nm band open. So additional coating is required. I might be wrong but such factors as glass thickness and the radiation intensity should be also accounted for. Every physical object is mostly an empty space ...
It actually does not not matter what you see. You can't see UV, and it harms your eyes. What you need is a protection from UV band, and that is exactly what your eye can't see.
They mentioned the cluster being used enterprise drives, I can see the desire to save money but agree, that is going to be one expensive mistake down the road.
I should also note personally for home cluster use, I learned quickly that used drives didn’t seem to make sense. Too much performance variability.
we don't have perfect metrics here but this seems to match our experience; a lot of failures happened shortly after install before the bulk of the data download onto the heap, so actual data loss is lower than hardware failure rates
Used drives make sense if maintaining your home server is a hobby. It's fun to diagnose and solve problem in home servers, and failing drives give me a reason to work on the server. (I'm only half-joking, it's kind of fun)
I had looked into "properly" buying LCDs once, just in case it had been within trivial reach of mine and I could just do what I wanted to do.
The one I was interested in would come in couples of aluminized vacuum sealed bags in a cardboard box, with 2k panels per each bags, laid out on plastic trays and stacked few up. The standard procedure to use these things is to wipe the bag surface to remove contaminants, leave it 24 hours at the factory to equalize temperature to avoid causing condensation, then tear it, and put it through production line before the panels degrade from absorbing too much moisture in the air.
I suppose you can forget about surplus parts or just buy 1/n of 2k parts at n/1 price premium from manufacturers with quote-unquote-nonfunctional parts, should you be contractually required to do so, but the point is, you can't easily produce just 1k of something in excess of 10 or so of prototypes built of no-guarantee spare parts.
Unless the total cost of gutting and reprogramming work exceeds that of fulfilling MOQ amounts of few thousands total(including customer warranty spares, media and storefront demo units, investors thank you specials, lottery prizes and all), it's going to make more sense to just buy and gut existing things, than producing just 1k units.
probably 2 screws at most or some glue/snaps, then put a jtag brush over the contacts, do some sort of unit test and you have a unit. Could take a few hours with a motorized screwdriver and a simple specialized CLI program for programming/testing
No, it’s there because the battery can’t hold enough charge for the ratio of vape liquid they put in it. So you get 2-3 full charges and it runs out of liquid.
Sounds like maybe a positive spin on the erosion of the fundamental building blocks of our democracy. This to me is a strange take, if I’m reading that correctly, what do you mean by it?
I mean that the US, my country, effectively ceased to exist in its old form on January 20, 2025. The Trump regime has been working aggressively to destroy all vestiges of our democracy and replace it with autocratic rule.
This is some bullshit and pisses me off, but here we are.
While I’m not happy they are changing the text of the constitution on this website, I’m glad they are such bumbling idiots about it.
