Correct. Django 6.0 comes with a standardised API, with 2 testing backends (ImmediateBackend and DummyBackend). You need a third-party backend to store and execute tasks.

Yeah, fair point. I have not used shared hosting for a long time now (static sites are easy/free to host, and dynamic ones don't play well with shared hosting), so I didn't know the Web.com story. I used DreamHost in the past

I agree. I don't remember the last time I saw an expired cert, and it was probably an abandoned web site (which would eventually expire even with a 3-year certificate as well). At least with Let's Encrypt you have to automate it

Tape backups were the norm back then. They were only honest because I was working for an IBM Business Partner. They wouldn't disclose it to the customer.

You are locked in because currently you have a great deal that you don't want to lose. If you were in Australia, you would already be paying that higher interest rate for your current house. I don't see how that's a downside.

Fair, but the download sizes given above are also in GiB. Also these calculations are very approximate anyway. The 6.67% difference will not change the fact that 5.8 << 12.

Porting your own code was relatively easy. The problem was porting all your dependencies, and replacing the ones that were abandoned and didn't support 3.x.

The problem is that the first few litres of the water coming from the hot water pipe may be cold or warm. Therefore adding a resistive element is a better solution to guarantee a specific temperature.

Household usage levels are probably fine [1]. That being said, we don't use rinse aid and I don't see any issues with glasses. I can see how it could be a problem in areas with harder water. [1] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.

> Is $0.55/GB not enough reason to avoid them? Where did you read that? The pricing page says 10 credits per GB, and extra credits can be purchased at $10 per 1500 credit. So it's more like $0.067/GB.
