Because all Matrix clients are so terrible that they feel like beginners projects, even the official one is so slow and bloated that it's almost a bad joke. Comparing Matrix to polished apps like telegram or discord is... misplaced to

From my experience it works pretty well, the issue is that the idea that it's temporary storage is so prevalent that I wouldn't risk it. From what I saw, people think two times before doing `truncate table` but not that much with

The CA system for TLS certificates is really dumb. Why can't we just upload a certificate chain as a TXT field in some DNS entry? Anyway, without HSTS, if your resolver is lying you are in bad waters and most (all?) CAs allow validatio

Ok pretty obvious, but if you don't know what you are storing inside your bucket, how are you accessing your objects in the first place ? If your use-case is storing random things you don't know the path of, maybe it's the wr

And then, where to publish it? On a website based in an American jurisdiction? On some browser extension store? Great idea.

Well, no. Donating to mozilla does not equals funding the browser. They also have some more or less questionable initiatives.

Well, start to make paying for the main product possible. I don't donate as I don't want to support for other mozilla's initiatives. I'd however gladly pay around 10-20 euros / month for firefox.

Except that it increases software complexity, possibly bugs as well as security vulnerabilities. I definitely don’t won’t this kind of “features” in software I use.

This argument is so tiring. That's part of why websites are so slow despite having insane hardware at their disposal. At my company, for a web app we run in production, we strive to get every response out of our infrastructure in under

By what measure "millions" is not big? We are talking about pagination there. And even then you just scale up your database server to have performant disks and implement caching. You'll be just fine going through even tens of

I really don't like this whole "OFFSET" kills performance thing that you see everywhere because it's only relevant for huge sets, think millions of rows. And then, there's a reason why people are using offsets, curs
