Are you confusing Flickr with Delicious (Which was what Pinboard guy bought from Yahoo) or am I missing something?

Makes total sense for your use case! I have got bitten by using object storage as a database before (and churning through "update" ops) so this will depend on the pricing (and busy-ness of the queue of course) of the provider anyw

> then yahoo/smugmug killed it I understand the Yahoo part, but what do you mean with smugmug? My impression was that they bought it and "revived" it but I might misremember the history there.

Assuming you already using object storage in your project, but don't use Redis yet it wouldn't be re-inventing but just avoiding an extra dependency that would only be used by a single feature.

I'm aware of that, but what I meant is that they both extended the SQL standard in a similar way and they will have equivalent higher level features like "regex and other non-standard extensions" even if they are not 100% dro

In my case I consider Postgres / MariaDB "regular, boring SQL".

I'm in a similar boat and getting customers to whitelist IPs is always a big ask. In the best case they call their "tech guy", in the worst case it's a department far away and it has to go through 3 layers of reviews for

I’d argue that people using the man pages are a very small group compared to people using online documentation and all the familiar UX that comes with it. Makes sense to me to keep one place updated and link to that one.

Nice idea…but this will just end up in the same bucket as “I really like your website {domain} and especially your post {link to blog post} about {topic} would you like to include a link to {our service}” SEO link building spam.

Indeed, based on all the “look at that, you can’t even read xyz” screenshots around release time I thought it will be really bad. Upgraded and…it’s fine. After a week you don’t notice anything and the old OS will look dated. Just like every
