Nostr is fancy RSS - Instead of static files over HTTP, it's JSON messages over web sockets with added public key cryptography. So you get realtime and much better authenticity guarenties. But it's basically RSS. #

Hardware product idea: Portable cloud native in a box - I'd like to be able to do cloud native web development completely offline. I think this could be achieved with a special developer device that creates a minimal dev environment, with mock web services, all accessible over wifi.

Physical description:

  • Device size of a mobile phone chargeable battery
  • Can run off power outlet or connected to rechargeable battery
  • WIFI hub

Software features:

  • Browser / mobile app interface
  • One click install of apps
  • Github actions style CI/CD
  • Mocks of all popular cloud services (S3, Dynamo DB, Queues etc)
  • Security / IAM / firewalls

Changelog did an interesting homelab episode, somewhat related, included a section on raspberry pie running proxmox. #
