Fastmail @fastmail@mastodon.social has been operating on bare metal for 25 years. Their planning and (over-)provisioning strategy reminds me of Wikimedia.

Situations where cloud renting is cost effective for medium or large companies are vanishingly rare, and always have been. As with so many big tech patterns, this is a myth held up by VC-backed startups and incentives.

@mattblaze@federate.social Consider blogging about this! I'd love to share this thread as a blog post or to read more about it in long-form in the future. I did find this which will keep me busy for a while, as I digest the references: https://www.mattblaze.org/blog/safecracking_and_science/ @Edent@mastodon.social

Oh my,
a web component?
on jquery dot com?

minibar is a 2kB standalone search widget. Accessible and progressively-enhancing (works without JavaScript!). An alternative to the popular 100kB DocSearch.js widget.

It goes well with Typesense, an awesome FLOSS open-source alternative to Algolia. And it's (if you want, and yes we do) self-hostable!

https://github.com/jquery/typesense-minibar

Demo: https://jquery.com/
or https://qunitjs.com/
