At the same time, I watched Reddit's self-hosted community – whose members are well-known for writing off projects at the first sight of emojis – blindly dive headfirst into Hypermind, a new peer-to-peer app for discovering and counting other users also deploying the app (yes, you read that correctly).

I had the same reaction.

    The High-Availability Solution to a Problem That Doesn't Exist.

    "You need a service that:

    • Does absolutely nothing useful.
    • Uses "Decentralized" and "P2P" in the description.
    • Makes a number go up on a screen.

    Enter Hypermind."

    They sure have a sense of humor though :)

    Sure. I mean, it apparently does exactly what they describe. Maybe someone will fork it into something useful. Seems to me it could be a basis for something to be built on. Damn site better than anything I've managed to code, so I can't knock it too much. LOL

    My server and associated peripherals run me $30+/- monthly. I recently did some adjustments with the help of tlp and a few other apps to see if I could slim that down a few dollars. I'm waiting until the end of the month to do some comparisons. All in all tho, $30 is probably well below what most people would spend on any other hobby.

    I just wanted to make a joke that it is enough to put reitti one time into the update section. Then I saw that you also wrote a highlight piece about it ☺️

    Thank you very much for that. And also thank you in general for the effort you put in the newsletter. I eagerly waiting every month for it.

    Same here, I already know it's coming every friday afternoon, but I'm still happy when it pops up in my RSS reader. That's how I know the work day is over.

    Oh and it's weekly btw :)

    The list is getting bigger and bigger. That is a good thing. But it now gets harder and harder to explore. More details on the list would help a lot.
