I have many things dependent on Cloudflare. That makes me root for Cloudflare and I think I'm not the only one. Instead of finding better options we're getting stuck on an already failing HA solution. I wonder what caused this.

Yeah, I'm from Turkey and it's really annoying for me to use a keyboard shortcuts to select "Türkiye" from dropdowns using year old "T", "U", "R" keys. Now in some websites it's "Turkey" and in some websites it's "Türkiye" I need to switch keyboard layouts just to select my country name.

Even though, website doesn't let me use my actual name since my name has non ascii characters so I need to try many times.

My concern is I'm an Android dev. and I'm trying to use best practices because I don't know what can come up.

If prod goes down for a few days it's mostly OK since I have only one alpha user. But some idea of bad things™ might happen is holding me back from developing the app. I'm not feeling confident about my prod env if I find some customers.

Where do you store your state on the server? I don't understand what you mean. I guess we're talking about the database. DB also is deployed as the part of the docker compose stack, volume bound to a local dir.

What can kubernetes do that you can't do by hand assuming you are available to do it? Automating the process of deployments are easier than doing it by hand. Since code needs to be compiled I cannot use the old but gold ftp method. Even if I manage it, it's too much of a hassle. Instead I'm using Github Actions to build my image using Spring's container image builder magic. k8s would allow me to put all of my "stuff" to same place (a cluster)

Two of the servers costs in total 5 Euros now :D

If you really want to control how your customers are allowed to use the thing you can put a limit like 3 or 4 apps maximum. For example I think this phone needs at least a way to read e-books but it's possibly not going to be implemented. IF there was an API I could write my own e-book reader for it.

Why not just allow people to download this update, put it on a USB stick, then plug the USB into the car? I guess a few things: 1- If you give USB to end users to plug it to their cars you eventually going to need to provide some support service for it. If someone has a Tesla that does not make that person who understands about using computers. Tesla cars are still cars. 2- Teslas are cars, again. You can travel to another country with your car. You can put that car in a ship and use it on another continent. (insert Falcon Heavy joke here) As Tesla, the company you still need to provide updates to those intercontinental Teslas.

I agree with your observations. Even though we also have to consider that this video and the text for it was probably written or edited or at least administered by Walt Disney himself. You can see that Mickey is kind of communicating with Walt Disney on the video. That means the cartoon on the video was made just to show this piece of technology. I think we can say that this video is a way to show the technology of Disney at that time. It's kind of an advertisement for a big coporation.

On the other hand Youtube videos are made by people trying to make a living through those videos. None of these Youtubers can have the resources and motivation compared to Walt Disney himself to shoot a scene which can be watched and enjoyed even after 71 years later because your videos has to be produced quickly.
