   I thought they'd noticed how many of my Claude tokens I've been burning trying to build defences against the AI bot swarms. Sadly not.

    For anyone looking for non-US transactional email, I found https://mailpace.com via HN a while back and can recommend. Can't remember who the HN user behind it is, but they've done a great job.

    I keep hoping to switch to Netbird, but run into the same issue every time for the last couple of years I've been trying it - peers randomly drop of the network. There's a longish standing open issue on their GitHub.

    Same here. I was hoping to type in "Dos cerverzas por favor" and hear it shout "TWO BEEROS HERE PEDRO".

    Oh man, just discovered the deep links and webhooks stuff in the settings too. That IAP price is a real bargain.
