I've used http.cat for years to double check what an http code is for. Thank you both for making it!

public.ecr.aws was failing for me earlier with 5XX errors due to the AWS outage: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45640754

I think it's partly because the JS ecosystem doesn't historically have a solid standard library. Doing simple things can require checking for null/undefined/does the runtime support it, etc. Why do it the hard way when you can NPM install it and call it a day?

That's my understanding of it anyway.

Down for me in TX.

I'm excited because while B2 + Cloudflare is great, the speed+latency isn't the greatest for some applications. So there's definitely a place for R2 here to compete more with AWS S3 than B2.

This looks awesome. Can't wait till I can add this to uuid.rocks!

I think this could be great for competition with the big players!

This is awesome. Installing packages was already fast, so this is just icing on the cake!

This is awesome. Kids aren't just learning programming on Replit, but also how to run server software!

I used to have a Google Home Mini in every room. I've switched to Alexa because I trust them to keep it going a lot more. It helps that Amazon makes money off Alexa since I buy things through the device sometimes.

Outside of GSuite/Workspace I really don't trust Google products anymore and I'm tired of trying.

AnyDesk is really good.

I'm frustrated because this will affect backups we have on Drive where I work. Will have to migrate some to B2 because of this.

Agreed, this will go nowhere.

It's important to note that along with the new name they also reduced storage from Unlimited to 2TB on their $12/u/mo plan.

Sad to see unlimited storage go away. That was really handy

Crypt will encrypt all files before they leave your device, yes.

thanks! :)

Maybe you want a UUID within a shell script, CI/CD pipeline or orchestration framework which has native support for HTTP, but not UUID :)

Fun, primarily. I also use it in some of my other projects for UUID generation.

It's built on Cloudflare Workers so it scales fine and doesn't cost me anything since I use Workers for other projects anyway.

Added this to my UUID as a Service API! [0] Just add ?readable to any endpoint! Eg. https://uuid.rocks/json?readable

Hey HN! I know this seems kind of silly but for some reason I felt inspired to build this yesterday. Not only is it fast all around the world since it's built on Cloudflare Workers, but when you call it from another Worker it responds within ~5ms [0].

Here's another mirror, hosted on B2 + Cloudflare: https://i-cdn.jacobhands.com/lwd3q/mosaic.png

Is $5/month too much?

You aren't paying for Workers for the CPU time IMO, you're paying to be in 155 locations around the world so that your code runs closer to your user. You couldn't split a hetzner/ec2 box across locations like that. A lot can be accomplished in 10ms on Workers in my experience since they don't count waiting on network requests as part of that 10ms.

If requests only require <10ms of CPU anyway, $5 per 10 million requests is pretty reasonable to me.

What kinds of things are you wanting to do with more CPU time?

I'm excited about this. I love Restic, but these days I don't want to manage backups as much.

Being able to use my own B2 account is a huge plus, I didn't want Yet Another Cloud to worry about.

No they don't.
