We (Transloadit) have been running Node.js in production the longest, since 2008, processing many petabytes, globally, hundreds of machines when not thousands, and it has not let us down. Lot of faith in Node over here.

Late Pieter Hintjens of ZeroMQ (and more) openly admitted to using this hack if he needed to have work done. State that something is impossible and watch developers tumble over each other to get it done and prove you wrong.

Used to be a happy Gandi customer but disagree. They ditched their no BS slogan, lost TBs of customer data and made inappropriate remarks about that on social media https://techmonitor.ai/techonology/cloud/gandi-

It speaks volumes that you thought to get your gcp support from stackoverflow. Good that it worked that time, but plenty of SO questions go unanswered, they aren’t private, and there’s not much in the way of guarantees if you have a big pro

I’ve mapped it to my PrintScreen button on my desktop, but on my laptop it is sadly unusable because Flameshot does not support fractional scaling. There’s an open issue in GitHub https://github.com/lupoDharkael/flamesh

Ethereum 2.0 solves this via Proof of Stake. They are rolling it out in 2021 and I think the environmentally concerned will then consider the number two coin because of how energy hungry Bitcoin is. PoS also greatly increases transaction sp

This sounds like how many places in the Netherlands are. A small town (1000-75000) often with an ancient core (ours dates back to 1300) with the church repurposed as a microbrewery, shops and apartments. Then around that core, ever more rec

That was a hard part yes, an FFmpeg core dev works for us and figured it out. I don’t know exactly how but I can look it up and blog about it.

If you’re okay to run things in the cloud, https://transloadit.com made an abstraction over FFmpeg that chunks files up, and parallely encodes them on many machines to speed things up (“turbo mode”). 5GB free each month. Disclos
