I think it depends. At least on $dayjob’s stack (webdev/Go) both are interchangeable and I’m fine using either. Ofc they aren’t the same thing, but depending on your task and constraints, both a MacBook or a Framework can attend your needs.

I can agree with you that they don’t have the same position, but users are going to see a Framework laptop on mainstream media and are going to compare options. A few might try out, and even though they’ll get frustrated, they might now understand the ideology around open hardware.

Ditto. From all the places that I’ve quit, the only counter offer I’d accept would be “we’ll implement this structure/process change that is slowly killing your will to work here”.

I can’t wrap my mind around those goals, because (IMHO) the number one thing that would improve viewership is entirety outside of YouTube’s hand: content quality. So the author can only ever move needles that are thrice removed (i.e.: improving backend tools -> creators have more time -> creators create better content) or are statistical coincidences (we made the buttons round -> viewership went up 0.2%).

The MacBook Air 15” costs €1399, doesn’t sound too economical to pay double the price for the extra 0.9”

Exactly.

Any car in Brazil already has to cope with a high ethanol mix (it’s now 30%, with plans for 35%), so not sure how they are making something “more accessible” when everything else in the market already has it.

Do they have some innovative measuring system? A better way to switch between ICE and electric based on emissions/cost/range?

I’d say nowadays 443/tcp is the only port that you’ll find open in any usable network, anything else is part of a corporate network whack-a-mole game. So while DoH and DoT traffic shouldn’t be distinguishable, 853/tcp is surely a weird port in the grand scheme of things.

Thank you for writing it!

> What you're doing right now makes sense for your scale, IMO

Absolutely. I use DNS validation, and I’m fine running it manually every quarter, but I’m sure I’ll be quite annoyed to have to do it every month.

In my case is multiple servers handling the same FQDN. They are load balanced via DNS or use DNS anycast in some situations. In any case, my server is the one terminating TLS.

How do people here deal with distributed websites? I’m currently issuing one certificate on my machine and then Ansible-ing it into all the servers. I could issue one certificate for each server, but then at any given time I’d have dozens of certs for the same domain, and all must be valid. That doesn’t sound right either.

Agreed. My experience was pre-Matt drama, and even then the boundary between wp.org and Automattic was quite unclear.

TBF there is some scrutiny on existing plugins, the team is just extremely understaffed (it’s ran by volunteers after all). I got involved in a plugin that ended up getting de-listed for some minor ToS violations after several years of being “fine”, they re-reviewed the plugin with the same rigor as a new submission.

At least on the iOS app you can, just tested it. I run my own postfix/dovecot, so shouldn’t require any esoteric configurations.

The problem was not the cookie banner, but rather that they were doing things that required user consent (most commonly: filling up the website with 3rd-party marketing tools).

You can have a website as big as GitHub without a cookie banner yet still be compliant.

I still consider this a red flag. The company wants me to put time into the hiring process, but they can’t be bothered to do the same.

If there is at least a recruiter screening first, I’ll apply and ask about “Bring Your Own Code Examples”, mostly when their daily work would use tools that I have some code published.

I guess the case he’s making is that not even Ofcom knows, because it has nothing to do with the block itself. They want to make a scene, however possible.

Second and third suspensions are a week apart. Wouldn’t be enough time to shift customers to a new auth format, specially when most of the burden is on them.

Do you have examples? I’m not sure how to search for this feature.

How do you tell iOS/Android which website to open? You do that by hijacking the request to http://captive.apple.com and then 301/302 it to your domain, with or without https. If the first request iOS made was to be secure, you’d have to have a valid certificate for captive.apple.com running in your infrastructure OR the iOS would have to allow self-signed without asking for exceptions. Both sound like a terrible idea.

Put swap on the “instance store” disk, not EBS.

> billing […] can't tolerate eventual consistency

Interesting point that banks actually tolerate a lot more eventual consistency than most software that just use a billing backend ever do.

Stuff like 503-ing a SaaS request because the billing system was down and you couldn’t check for limits, could absolutely be locally cached and eventual consistency would hurt very little. Unless your cost is quite high, I would much rather prefer to keep the API up and deal with the over-usage later.

Thank you, I'll give it a try!

I quite like the low-end offering, €5 can get you a managed ValKey, a managed Postgres and a 512MB RAM Linux VM. In most other PaaS offerings you start at $10 just for a managed database.

If you don't mind answering, how do you handle those low-memory databases? For i.e. DS-G2-256MB, you get a 256MB VM with a dedicated Postgres installation, or you get an user/db in a shared Postgres server?

They rely on Leaseweb: https://www.nodion.com/en/docs/regions/

Basically everyone with even a CDN endpoint on the US is under Cloud Act. Hetzner, OVH, etc. Maybe only Scaleway that I couldn’t find any mentions of an US PoP.

Their website has basically nothing. Is it under a different brand, or just not generally available yet?

Haven’t heard of Nodion before. What is your main selling point? What does it do different from just reselling Leaseweb?

It would be awesome to have this list vetted for the CLOUD Act. IIRC only Scaleway is “safe” from it, given they don’t have any PoP in the USA.

AFAIK they haven’t launched yet.

Isn’t it just porn with the images rendered directly on your biological GPU? What’s next? Neuralink-safe DRM?
