I use Vultr, Digital Ocean, and Scaleway quite extensively, and my personal anecdote is the Scaleway, while gives a great bang for buck, comes with disk speed issues in their low priced servers.

If I read correctly, this is now the most watched live video on YouTube! Congratulations to India and the team on this fantastic feat of an achievement.

5,8 million now. I have never seen _any_ live video with that many views.

Sorry I meant that the oldish UI on PorkBun is a positive feature.

I have a couple of similar scrapers as well. One is a private repo that I collect visa information off Wikipedia (for Visalogy.com), and GeoIP information from MaxMind database (used with their permission). https://github.com&#x2

If they didn't have the password visible, "66668888" or "88888888" usually works. I truly miss Vietnam.

This is one of those reasons why I prefer prepaid cloud services. There are not many providers in this field (Vultr, Digital Ocean, etc). You can generally estimate the length of the runway based in the funds you have in your account. It al

I'm still not convinced that self hosting is cheaper though. Where I live, both the electric grid and Fibre connections are unreliable, and the ISP charges about $3/month for a static IP. Assuming 2.5W for a RPi, it takes 1.8kWh a

A very low tech approach would be to create a video from the screenshots, and let the video codecs do this for you. Av1/x265 are quite mature in detecting differences between frames.

Thank you for running this. I'm using it for a few weeks now, and have been getting a good use from it.

Nothing to be ashamed of either. Several years ago, there was a GitHub Desktop app that neatly contained git binaries with added GitHub UIs. That's what finally made Git "click" for me. I no longer use it, and tend to use the

Do you have a test host with the Zerossl chain that you speak of? Use https://aye.sh if you want to try a host using the ECC chain from LE.

by Ayesh 4y ago
Before 2020, ZeroSSL used to be a browser-based acme client using Lets Encrypt. I don't doubt that money was involved, and they switched to Comodo (now Sectigo), with no notice that I could think of. I used them for a few one-off certi

LetsEncrypt now has an ECC root and intermediates. You have to request the account ID to be included, and after which, the intermediate and root certificates will be ECC. More information here: https://community.letsencrypt.org&#

Yeah I recently started to pay for it too, after using many 12+ years with free storage. It was relatively low cost compared to Dropbox (etc), so it was a natural move. No more stressing over about deleting photos from Google Photos, and I

That was a fun read, and I loved that little joke with NPM packages. I find SQL, Regular Expressions, DNS, Client-side caching, CORS, TLS, and a few other things to be a MUST when hiring people, because most of the over-engineered crap can

I doubt it. Having used Firefox for over a decade, I never had to use flags other than a profile selection option and a safe mode flag. I have come across more flags during my occasional use of Chrome. Firefox's configuration flags are
