ThreeFold – Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure
We built it from the ground up, minimal Linux based operating system (written in go and rust), messaging system written in rust and infrastructure as code support (terraform and pulumi) There is even a dashboard, and a playground UI to manage it (that you can even run yourself) . Beautifully decentralized, you have full control of everything, you can deploy on your own servers if the cost of the cloud is too much. You can even run the whole system yourself if you want to. Here is a link to documentation https://manual.grid.tf/ Also, we are honored if it piqued your interest,…

In plain words
ThreeFold is a decentralized cloud infrastructure platform built on a minimal Linux operating system written in Go and Rust. It provides infrastructure-as-code support via Terraform and Pulumi, along with a dashboard and web-based playground for management. Designed for developers and organizations, ThreeFold allows users to deploy applications on their own servers or run the entire system independently, offering full control and potentially lower costs than traditional cloud providers.

From the sources
For years, ThreeFold has been building decentralized infrastructure, owned and powered by people across the globe. The Grid is live. The community is active. And the next chapter is already taking shape. The ThreeFold Grid (V3) remains fully operational. Existing nodes, workloads, and community infrastructure continue to run without disruption. Alongside it, the same team is building Project Mycelium — a new project that takes everything ThreeFold proved and brings it much further. A migration hub is available for existing participants to understand what's coming and prepare at their own pace. ThreeFold is not a whitepaper. It is a working, operational grid built from three core…from threefold.io

Build for any cloud with the same code2022 · github.com · ▲54We have been working on Multy, an open-source[1] tool that enables developers to deploy and switch to any cloud - AWS, Azure and GCP for now. We realized that, even when using Terraform, writing infrastructure code is very different for each cloud provider. This means changing clouds or deploying the same infrastructure in multiple clouds requires rewriting the same thing multiple times. And even though most core resources have the same functionality, developers need to learn a new provider and all its nuances when choosing a new cloud. This is why we built Multy. Multy is currently…

Open-source tool to deploy infrastructure in any cloud2022 · multy.dev · ▲14We have been working on multy.dev, an open-source cloud agnostic API that makes it easy to deploy the same infrastructure to any cloud provider using native managed services. The motivation was the realisation that, even when using Terraform, migrating infrastructure code requires an end-to-end re-write. Even though most core resources are the same in any major cloud, developers need to learn a new provider to deploy the same infrastructure when moving providers. We are still in early days of development and currently support the core services from AWS and Azure: - Networking…

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
