We use fastapi for our newer stuff. Its nice but unless you really need async I think you can get further quicker with something like flask.

I really wish the dev would extract the dependency injection portion of the project and flesh it out a bit. There are a lot of rough edges in there.

From the outside looking in most of the push back against rust seems to be of the "I am too old, never make mistakes, and don't want to learn a new thing late in my career" variety.

I have rarely seen an argument that pushes back against Rust with actual alternative solutions to the problems the rust proponents are trying to solve. It is mostly a bunch of old people letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Yes, which is why in 2025 it is a good idea to use Rust with python bindings for your performance sensitive code.

A lot of the C code used in python is calling out to old, battle tested and niche libraries so it is unlikely that someone is going to replace those any time soon but Rust is definitely increasing as time goes on for greenfield work.

It is a coin flip, heads DNS, tails BGP

The issue is that the 10k fridge is not actually any better.

The "luxury" appliances can be double that and are still shit.

I was more commenting on the Rust community being ready to make breaking changes.

Personally while I think Rust is a decent language it would not have caught on with younger devs if C/C++ didn't have such a shitty devex that is stuck 30 years in the past.

Younger people will always be more willing to break things and messing around with ancient and unfriendly build/dev does not attract that demographic because why waste time messing around with the build env that actually getting things done.

One day rust will be the same and the process will start again.

Which makes sense because in 2025 people have grown tired of lack of improvement so that some esoteric ass compiler from the 90s still works or someones 30 year old bash script still functions.

Pros and Cons either way for better or worse depending on your perspective.

It is way more than that though.

It offloads things like - Power Usage - Colo Costs - Networking (a big one) - Storage (SSD wear / HDD pools) - etc

It is a long list but what doesnt allow you do it make trade offs like spending way less but accept downtime if your switch dies etc etc.

For a staging env these are things you might want to do.

With some obvious exceptions there isnt much you cant run on a 200 Core machine wrt web services.

The cloud has made people forget how far you can get with a single machine.

Hosting staging envs in pricey cloud envs seems crazy to me but I understand why you would want to because modern clouds can have a lot of moving parts.

Onlyfans models already paying poverty wages for people to pretend to be them in chat.

Presumably this will just be part of that offering.

I don't understand how this changes anything?

How would they know now?

These examples are silly, most people are not selling a car privately all the time and they can handle any reporting or changes when you transfer the ownership.

It wasnt always but its defiantly has been the host for the DoubleClick parasite it ingested in the early 2000s

This is my experience as well. We have 42u racks with 8 machines in them because we cant get more power circuits to the rack.

Used Supermicro machines of this generation and very cheap (all things considered)

The other thing the cloud does not let you do is make trade offs.

Sometimes you can afford not to have triple redundant 1000GB network or a simple single machine with raid may have acceptable down time.

Postgres doesnt have great compression.

Depending on your database you can reduce the size by 50% sometimes with high zstd zfs configurations.

No lunch is free though. Aside from the obvious cpu cycles spent compressing configuring zfs / postgres is a pain in the ass and really depends on the trade offs and use cases.

We are a python shop and use WeasyPrint. It works well for invoice type things.

I suppose it depends on how much web dev experience is on hand.

Sure and that is why you can call it 2.5.<whatever>

They just don't want to be pinned down because the shifting sands are useful for the time when the LLM starts to get injected with ads or paid influence.

They pretty much are doing the bare minimum in the gaming space already.

It is a false dichotomy. They can spend the bare minimum to stay in the game card market while fabing AI cards. At this point that is just an insurance premium.

Have you seen the latest generation of Nvidia gaming cards? They are increasingly looking like an after thought.

ahah and pricey power wise.

Currently the cloud providers are dumping second gen xeon scalables and those things are pigs when it comes to power use.

Sound wise its like someone running a hair dryer at full speed all the time and it can be louder under load.

Worth noting that you are also paying for the service.

I have RMA'd many fans through them and the experience is quick and painless every time.

We run a docker registry on prem as a pull through cache (none of our containers are stored in there) to keep the rate limit reasonable.

It is pretty easy to just run the basic registry for this purpose.

We have a similar setup for NPM and Pypi on the same machine. It doesnt really need a lot of attention. Some upgrades every once and a while.

You don't have to go to 2015

GPD has a bunch, they are not exactly cheap though https://gpd.hk/product

Or the generation that where the graphics cards were de-soldering themselves

They are not always cheap though. They have been moving upmarket a bit the last 5 years.

Servers cost money, the client is free (and pays you sometimes)!

I always think it is amusing that some people make the mistake of thinking that the Chinese can only make cheap crap(forgetting all their cell phones and apple laptops come from there).

The American market only wants to buy cheap crap so that is what is made and sent. Usually though the skills involved in making something cut-rate are just as applicable to making something top notch.

American manufacturing skills have atrophied as it has moved to a service economy while as you say the Chinese have been boosting manufacturing for 30 years.

I share your concern but I have saved so much time with uv already that I figure ill ride it till the VC enshitification kills the host.

Hopefully at the point the community is centralized enough to move in one direction.
