Do you have any suggestion for "card vaulting providers"? This is interesting actually, store cards without PCI-DSS obligations and use those cards with the payment provider that makes the most sense at that point in time.
Can someone explain to me please how this is handled within the internal codebase. I assume that it's not a lot of if statements or copying whole API directories with every release but something much simpler? Thanks! :)
It's still wrong. The regular RIPE fee is 1.400 EUR per year. They redistribute excess earnings though, so the invoices for me were never above 1.000 EUR per year.
The minimum announcable IP space is a /24. So you could either rent or buy a /24. Renting a /24 is currently at around $100-200/month while buying is around $10-15k. You can take that subnet to a provider with a "BYOIP" service.
I am not sure about that. There are always tasks that can be done without having to think too much about it. The more time you put into them, the more of those small tasks you can complete. I wouldn't start building new features or change important parts of the code base after a 10hr day for sure, but there is a lot more that can't "break everything".
10 years ago I was commuting by train to work in Germany and there were fiber cables alongside the train tracks visible just hanging there. One could easily just cut them.
