Use the Temporary Containers extension, it does just that.

Yep, international/amex cards aren't enabled by default by most POS providers (_due to the high fees on the merchant side_) and most small businesses don't really know or care enough to enable them.

In fact, card acceptance has gone _up_ in my experience. Unless you're using a very small shop which just has a QR code, most businesses now use a POS which supports a lot of payment methods including cards.

I agree that a lot of businesses now actively don't manage cash as they used to earlier... it's very difficult to get low-value notes as the central bank seems to be slowly reducing the supply by not printing as per demand.

I think that's a very simplistic take, it doesn't account for people who need to support children's education and/or healthcare for parents.

Both are areas where costs are going up at a rate which is much higher than official inflation rates, and comp increases often don't even match inflation!

So the need for working till you're forced to give up still remains.

We used to have self-hosted runners on Hetzner dedicated servers, and we migrated to UbiCloud ~6 months ago.

Unless you can optimise your CI runtime to be very balanced and fast, you're going to have a lot of jobs queued during working hours ... although it costs more per minute, the fact that CI jobs are bursty means it works out not too much costlier but with less queue time.

Are they going to be using gerrit or a private repo and push changes back regularly?

Sometimes the discussions on PRs are equally valuable to see how a commit was arrived at, and I'd be sad if that got lost in this change.

It's still open source, but not open for public contributions. That's pretty much how it was before the advent of these forges.

Any plans to support Android? It's not always possible to be iOS-only.

What's the plan for monetization? Your license is Apache 2.0, which I'm not sure makes sense from having customers pay.

In contrast, Lago uses AGPL-3.0 and has an open-core model (not sure if the premium features are source available or not), which makes it more clearer on how they're going to make money.

One more data point: at work we use Stripe for most regions [1], but in our largest region (South Africa) we have to use Paystack [2] (a Stripe subsidiary). The API isn't 1:1 compatible and there's no plans to do so in the near future. Having multiple providers is a must for us to consider a solution.

Lago is better in that they have have support for custom payment integrations [3].

I too use Temporary Containers, and my solution is to use a named container and associate that site with the container.

I guess you meant to say porkbun?

You can use DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED constraints so that the check happens when the transaction is committed.

Most banking sites log you out very aggressively, and a lot of them require some sort of 2FA during login. It's quite inconvenient to have to do this login dance every time you need to make a transaction -- with an app, you can use a PIN or biometrics to start using it.

Thanks, in the same situation as you and feel the same!

Why not use CloudFlare in front? That's what was being used anyway, as per the article.

I maintain https://committers.top which does this -- it's a fork of commits.top

Yeah, that works for me as well.

I assume it depends on the nature of the diff? I do a lot of code review at $JOB, and sometimes the diff is so obvious that there's no need to look further.

OTOH if the code is something that I've haven't looked at in a while or don't understand that much, I'll read around a bit and see if there's a way the diff can be improved.

It was raised to 5x of that in February, but doesn't help as that requires the bank to be declared as failed. The regulator (RBI) has refused to do that in multiple instances, most notably in the case of PMC Bank a few months ago.

wkhtmltopdf maintainer here. That's really cool!

Did you manage to find a workaround for https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/packaging/issues/2? If so, would appreciate a PR :-)

I'm the maintainer of wkhtmltopdf, and it's hopelessly out of date. There's still some bugs in the Chrome print-to-PDF support as support was added just a few days ago:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=603559

Not sure if all the full functionality that wkhtmltopdf can be ported, it had patches to Qt/WebKit to enable that ... probably will need API enhancements in Chrome. Don't have the time right now, but I registered http://crhtmltopdf.org a while ago hoping that I'd get around to it.

Am I mixed up too much, am I mixed up too hard

Why am I walking, where am I running

What am I saying, what am I knowing

On this guitar I'm playing, on this banjo I'm frailin'

On this mandolin I'm strummin', in the song I'm singin'

In the tune I'm hummin', in the words I'm writin'

In the words that I'm thinkin'

In this ocean of hours I'm all the time drinkin'

Who am I helping, what am I breaking

What am I giving, what am I taking

But you try with your whole soul best

Never to think these thoughts and never to let

Them kind of thoughts gain ground

Or make yer heart pound

But then again you know why they're around

Just waiting for a chance to slip and drop down

-- Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie

Do you have a comparison with unpaper, which seems to do almost the same thing?

Hello, current maintainer of wkhtmltopdf here. This looks like an interesting approach, as Qt/WebKit is effectively unsupported. wkhtmltopdf is further hampered by the fact that a lot of the functionality requires a patched Qt version, which hasn't been ported to Qt 5.x.

Switching to Blink is obvious, but which wrapper to use (CEF, Electron, etc) is hard to decide. Because they all use a multi process architecture, supporting the API around which the tools are built is not really possible. Time to work on it has also been in short supply in recent times.

So, good work by the authors. Wish we could get something better, but as long as browsers move at the pace they do, it's going to be tough.

That's an amazing and very relevant article, thanks for the link!

Do you know anyone else who uses bintray? I'm considering hosting downloads for the open source projects I maintain with them, but never heard of it much before.

That will be changing in the near future. Still undecided about where the downloads will be hosted, though.
