If IPv6 addresses are free while in use like IPv4 used to be, this would be the cheapest option

frxon Stripe is about to refund €147k worth of payments to my all of my customers

I've never used Stripe before so wanted to ask a clarification question.

Their docs [1] say that the payout schedule is 7-14 days after the payment. What prevents companies from taking out their money every week (or 2 weeks)?

For OP, is 250k euros weekly income? If so, it shouldn't bother them?

If not, then why didn't they take out their money before this happened?

> AWS IAM has the exact same “issue” where an IAM principal can be allowed to access a resource without asking the party in question.

This is not correct. This would only work if the resource is in the same AWS account.

For cross account access, both the principal and the resource need to allow each other.

It is not a requirement but if you don't provide it your account gets suspended as soon as you tweet. This happened to me multiple times.

frxon “I’m selling data of 400M Twitter users that was scraped via a vulnerability”

Exactly. This happened to me multiple times. I even had accounts for some of my side projects with phone numbers that got suspended.

frxon Next, Nest, Nuxt Nust?

The decision tree at the bottom starts with "Full-Stack App?" but only lists Express and Nest at the "yes" branch.

Next.js does have an API functionality so it can also be used to create a full-stack app.

Do you have any recommendations for authentication services? I agree Cognito is not a good tool. However, it does integrate well with other AWS services (ex: Api gateway).

If there is a 3rd party service or tool that we can use instead of Cognito and if it also works well with other AWS services (Amplify, Api gateway) that would be awesome.

frxon How I took my SaaS from idea to sold in 14 months

This is amazing.

Could you elaborate on the "No vendor lock-in" part? When we select cloud services like Heroku or AWS, aren't we technically locked-in? For example, AWS Amplify will create DNS entries and its own SSL certificate for the domain. If we wanted to switch, we'll have to set these up again in the new provider.

How does Molecule not make you locked-in to the providers you select?
