4rb1t··on My small SaaS got recommended my Google in the AI search overview
just randomly opened this post thought i would chime in. Google results are personalized and since you own and visit bugmail.site its going to show up at the top. if you want a true view open incognito and preferably in a different browser where you arent signed in and then try and see where you rank. good luck!
4rb1t··on The Twitter API is now effectively unmaintained
makes you wonder did the commenter read the article at all?
4rb1t··on “Magic links” can end up in Bing search results, rendering them useless
proofpoint does this too. Wonder if they add a separate header or query string param to distinguish from an actual user.
4rb1t··on Facebook Pay
its leveraging their existing user base. they dont need to run a $10 offer ot get them to install or use fb pay. low acquisition cost.

FB marketplace is pretty much the goto place for most people. For the most parts its valid users.
4rb1t··on Starting with microservices
In theory it all sounds great and makes total sense but when the company grows to a billion dollar firm and hires engineers to work on the said monolith thats when things breakdown. The founding team was a closet knit team and ensure there is no spaghetti code but the moment you move on from that closely knit group its hard to enforce constraints.

Have worked at multiple companies that started out as a monolith and are still running the monolith in some form or the other while breaking it down into micro services.

4rb1t··on Ask HN: How did my LastPass master password get leaked?
why not just use dropbox? and secure dropbox using 2FA?

FWIW, I used to run nextcloud on a ec2 instance. Decided to just use dropbox instead. the webdav support on nextcloud was neat with keepass

4rb1t··on Ask HN: What are your new years resolutions?
biggest recommendation would be dont do this as a short term goal with a diet.. that never helps and you will gain back your pounds. introduce exercise into your routine. eat healthy but dont deprive yourself of stuff. if you like to eat fried chicken eat it but try to make it yourself.
4rb1t··on Ask HN: How do you handle user license provisioning for a subscription product?
Have been dabbling the idea of building a product that achieves what you are asking for, but different means to the end that you are seeking.

Happy to talk to you if it piqued your interest.
