dartfon Microsoft Teams outage causes connection issues, message delays

Every time my wife uses teams on 2.4GHz wifi our home network goes down. Works fine on 5GHz. Of course there is already a thread about this from 2020: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams/micro...

dartfon Slack Is Down

dartfon Netlify expands minutes, bandwidth, but charges some teams more

It's such a mess. We are a team of seven and we can't invite 7th dev, because for some reason limit is 6. I have a huge banner "contact support now", but nobody replies. Our bill increased x5 overnight, although our traffic didn't change, it's just that we need to pay for each dev separately without any added value. I was pretty happy with netlify, despite recent downtimes, but this change is really disappointing.

dartfon European Heroku apps were down for 2 hours this morning

Only one of our apps was affected (production of course), sadly it seems that heroku has no uptime guarantees for non-enterprise users...

dartfon DigitalOcean S-1

I really want to love DO, but I just can't. 2 main pain points I had from working with it for ~3 month:

1. Spaces keys. There is no way to fine tune access rights. Anyone with spaces key can access any space in the organization and read/write to it. I trust people I work with, but there is always room for a mistake, so even a small chance that someone can accidentally nuke our production space makes me nervous.

2. Something from yesterday: we use new DO apps to deploy a static web app. Yesterday I started to get random 404s for some of the assets, so app become unusable. My colleague in Argentina had same issues, but for different assets. We are lucky that it was a staging app, but imagine it was a production app and that would happen over the weekend? How do you even detect that? Run uptime monitor form dozen different locations?

dartfon Show HN: 100% offline Shamir's Secret Sharing GUI

dartfon Show HN: Awesomeblog.club – self-hostable directory for small blogs and links

That's really cool! I remember checking prototype a day or two ago and now it's finished - great job!

I have an idea of making something like "read next" on medium or openring[1] as a service. It's in a very early stage right now, but if you run a personal blog - ping me(info in the profile) I would like to ask a few questions ;)

dartfon Show HN: Bear – Minimal blogging platform

I guess I'm a bit late to the party, but after reading your comment I hacked something together - https://x.rukin.me It's ugly and I haven't spent any time styling it or improving editor(it's just textarea) but it works as PoC. Also I've started it before I read comments that hashify exists, otherwise I would probably not do it ;)

Compared to hashify:

- it uses zlib to compress data, so it can actually contain much more content(if it's repetitive)

- it also supports password encryption of the content (don't know why, but my friend said it would be cool)

- only supports markdown(no html) as I haven't found any good js lib for html sanitization on client side

Examples:

- With password: https://bit.ly/3c7xkyb pass: wasted

- Some markdown: https://j.mp/2AivRYr

P.S. I still have no idea why anyone will use it
