The actual requirement is not: a centralized console where macOS antivirus updates are pushed to all user devices.

We take security very seriously but this is not the way.

We do run that on our Linux servers. For macbooks, ClamAV makes very little sense. Besides, they mandate we centrally manage that, too.

The full story didn't fit in the title.

They want evidence of the antivirus updates for our macbooks being centrally managed by some tool (quote-unquote: WSUS). I get this is how some enterprises operate, but for our small shop we're talking a handful of macbooks that have access to even anything. And even so the people who operate those are contractually obligated to run a very tight ship (encrypted disks, auto updates (which includes XProtect, apple's native antivirus so to speak), 2FA on all services, etc), tunnelling on unprotected wifi, etc.

We sent evidence of all of this. But they really want centrally managed antivirus for our macbooks.

This looks really nice but it’s good to point out that this project can use the Ollama HTTP API or any other API, but does not run models itself. So not a replacement to Ollama, but rather to the Ollama npm. Perhaps that was obvious because the post is about that, but I briefly thought this could run models too.

A respectable person offering nuance can be shattering if you identify as pro- or anti something.

I wish we had an easier time talking about ideas with a little more detachment.

antirez thank you for talking some sense. I’ve seen skilled devs discard LLMs entirely based on seeing one (too many) hallucinations, then proclaiming they are inferior and throwing the baby away with the bathwater. There is still plenty of use to be had from them even if they are imperfect.

Like LogicBlox received so much community love? I’m a Nix user and their paying $9k/mo for this never amounted to me learning their name. Could say a lot about me but could also say a lot about how appealing it will be to sponsor this.

Could be changed tho, Nix leadership should brainstorm how to make this an attractive thing to sponsor. Feature name prominently on site, conferences, social media, even CLI(?).

> “those affected have already been notified via personal and work email”

Even for remote staff, there are many more human ways of informing someone they are out of a job than shooting an email. Am I the only one who feels that way? Is it actually better to get an email an process the blow in async? Genuinely curious as I didn’t see this comment yet.

Transloadit | REMOTE | JavaScript/TypeScript Developer | Freelance

React, Hooks, Node.js, TypeScript, SWR. Are these right up your alley? Transloadit is hiring a developer to work on our website (mostly front-end work, some back-end tinkering may not be ruled out). Remote, freelance, 32h+/week, $50/h. You'll be part of a highly skilled team and have plenty opportunity to work on our open source projects as well (uppy.io, tus.io). We're thin on process and management, it's mostly github issues & slack. That may not work for all, but well for some, so worth mentioning. We have an open, friendly & curious culture.

If you are interested please DM a tweet-sized motivation and any relevant links to @kvz

There is KNative for that. But really folks are using serverless to _not_ have to operate their own iron and save themselves an ops team.

The one where you only need a few invocations and with serverless: aren’t paying for an idling VM all of the other time. Arguably you may save yourself an ops team too.

> What differentiates our API from others is that you can chain together multiple “actions” as part of a single API request.

https://transloadit.com offers similar composable workflows in a single request, and supports more file types besides PDFs.

Disclosure, I am a founder :)

Transloadit | Support Engineer | Full-time (32h) | Remote | https://transloadit.com/blog/2022/01/job-support-engineer/ Hi, founder at Transloadit here. We just posted a vacancy for a Support Engineer today. To summarize:

* excellent English

* Node.js & command line experience

* emphatic, patient, curious, helping others motivates you

* 100% remote

* $40/h

* 32h/week, flexible but ±4h overlap with CE(S)T office time

Transloadit is a file uploading and encoding service. Launched by three developers who met through open source in 2009, customers have been loving our API and top-notch support ever since. We're an open, remote, independent, small team, with a big footprint (or so I believe). Our engineers are changing how HTTP works (tus-v2), and wrote the number one open source file uploader (Uppy). We were the first to run Node.js in production, have shaped much of its early ecosystem (node-formidable, node-mysql), and employ a member of its Technical Steering Committee. GitHub partners with us to offer free transcoding services to students and teachers, and we partner with core contributors of FFmpeg, Nix, Prometheus and Jekyll intimately to advance the state of the art. Roughly 80% of our revenue is allocated towards open source, and we keep all of these efforts afloat with our commercial service: a REST API that developers integrate with to make light work of bulk importing, encoding, resizing, recognizing, rotating, or file thumbnailing – all fully automated. Our paying customers sign up, read docs, and integrate themselves, but, sometimes they run into issues, and this is where you would come in. You'll work closely with them, and our developers to ensure smooth onboarding, that any issues are filed and solved correctly and swiftly.

We're looking for someone with coding experience, but enjoys balancing that with a lot of human interaction (be it through text), helping them succeed, and chooses tech support as a career.

If this sounds interesting to you, please check out the full vacancy here: https://transloadit.com/blog/2022/01/job-support-engineer/ which also has information how to apply.

Transloadit is a similar company to Gumroad when it comes to work philosophy. What kind of job are you looking for?

As a developer: Transloadit. Profitable. No investors looking to twist arms to make short term gains. Founders are in it for the long haul and developers so there’s appreciation and time made available to refactor and write tests. Small team, large footprint. Remote. Open. 80% of resources are spent on open source. Disclosure: founder.

Wow so many gems in here that I’ve been waiting for (though some still experimental).

- better cli (previously was a myriad of shell scripts you’d just had to memorize, and would do the non-typical thing by default if you didn’t pass many arguments)

- flakes (will make nix more nix. Currently we need checkouts of entire nixpkgs to run two versions of the same software alongside, it is my understanding that with flakes this will become more easy and lightweight to pull off)

- markdown docs

This last one shouldn’t be understated I feel. Docs have always been a pain point with Nix to the point where insiders joke about it with an affection almost. I feel due to many core contributors having academic backgrounds and the generally steeper learning curve with Nix, they have been susceptible to embrace “quantifiably superior documentation formats”, blindspotting the effects of markdown being the lingua franca lowering the barrier to entry for people contributing fixes by so much—perhaps because this is less easy to quantify, and perhaps less easy to appreciate for folks that were okay to learn Nix in its current state the first place.

Anyway, thanks everyone for putting in the hard work, this will pave the way to a bright future for Nix I am sure.

This is very inspiring. Sounds so great! Would love to see a video about your process, including the failures and dead ends that you must have also hit in these weeks.
