OxiCloud – lightweight alternative to Nextcloud file sharing (Rust) (github.com/DioCrafts)
I built OxiCloud because I wanted a simpler, faster file storage solution than existing options. After struggling with NextCloud's performance on my home server, I decided to create something that prioritizes speed and simplicity while still being robust enough for daily use.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Vector DB? (ycombinator.com)
A while back I was looking for a vector database that would work across Windows / Mac / Linux platforms. Some of the options required specific processors like Intel. I am curious if there are any alternatives to a Vector DB that can run cross platform and are easy to setup?

Firefox just made a change their TOS copy that implies that they may begin selling our data [^1]. I'm a web developer– which means I need access to browser tools, and the 1Password extension. Are there privacy-focused forks of Firefox or an alternative browser you can recommend?

Ask HN: What do you run instead of Datadog? (ycombinator.com)
Datadog has turned into an ever loving piece of shit. I am sick of their sales team grabbing us by the ankles and "Accidentally" charging for services we don't use. Now, this morning they changed something with their AWS integration that is causing 10X the API calls against our accounts (and thus, 10X guardduty costs on our end analyzing those API requests).
