It sounds like you are using it for the wrong job. It’s supposed to be a solution for jobs / short running processes that don’t expose a /metrics endpoint for Prometheus long enough to be scraped and there you exactly want that ki

I'm not sure what you are arguing for or against, but the fact that big corporations are built on top of the work of volunteers (curl, ffmpeg) who mostly have to beg for funding is a known fact. Example from yesterday: https:/&#x

To be fair, the thread is called "What are you working on", so it's by definition work-in-progress. > Also: why would I as an applicant add more data for money? The landlord has the benefit, they should pay for that. In ma

Apple Music is not buttery smooth and was just a web view for a long time. I feel like I read that this changed a few years ago. This didn’t change the fact that it’s very slow.

This was a general statement, no need to nitpick every detail. DC proxies are not as accurate for geolocation, they are also often flagged as such or face higher scrutiny from bot protections.

Not much different than blocking access to people without JS enabled, blocking people stuck behind NAT, blocking whole countries or require them to solve Cloudflare captchas.

Especially if you use any of the features that make Postgres nice to work with (For example good jsonb handling) these are immediately different than on sqlite and then won't work for development. Don't think there's a good r
