For a service I am working on, I was considering paid CDN, but they were all cost prohibitive for what I expected the usage to be. So I wrote my own CDN(2k lines of code with peer state synchronisation). But Bunny always seemed to be the best bang for the buck. I think they are from Slovenia, so that is a plus in my book.

i wanted to do the same when i got fed up with bt clients. but then i found there already are go clients and i found i like qbt. but it is a good read nevertheless.

Past two years, i've been working on sales platform for digital content creators where they can sell digital content(files), online courses or memberships to access content. I'll be going online next month, hopefully. Right now I am refactoring front-end into production design. Front-end eats always the most time, and i still have things to do in relation to servers/infra and testing. It took this long because i manage the finances(i do not use stripe or any other 3rd party service) and it uses event sourcing, which has large overhead. But i am almost there. Hope to go online next month, beta-test in production for Q2 with small amount of users, and come Q3 go into full production.

i am so glad my sign up process with hetzner failed when i was so dumb that i wanted to give them a chance even with the internet full of horrific stories of bad experiences from their customers. lucky me.

I am on w10 and i have ripped out entire defender and all that security crap. i've been online for quarter of a century and never caught a virus or got hacked. all these security features are waste of hardware resources. i can easily see this being much worse on w11.

no

Well, you should do cost analysis BEFORE you go to court. That does not mean just how much money you should get out but also whether the other side is even capable of paying.

I use Trello(free). But I do not yet have employees or permanent contractors so i am yet to experience too much distractions.

not yet. it is nothing world-changing, just sales platform for digital content creators. something like patreon, teachable, audible...mashed together.

i've been making websites since 2000. i've seen the internet change and made couple of projects during my life, none took off. as time went, i realized this golden era of online businesses is long gone and everything has been monopolized and bought out by the big tech companies and that money for ads is what matters the most these days. right now i am finalizing my last project that i will ever make, for this reason. it will be 2.5 years of work in march, when i will be releasing it. the only reason i am going for it and i stuck with working on it full-time this whole time is because it is a type of business where customers will come on their own and will want to use it because it provides them with a new sales channel so competition is actually good for them. it flips the usual business model on its head. otherwise i would have quit a long time ago. my hopes up to get it going this year and make 1M in sales next year and hope to be able to focus on growing it for many years to come.

yeah, i had to add svg icons to my frontend which takes a ton of space in the compiled project...for absolutely no good reason whatsoever.

right?

i think he means that internally, time objects simply use unix nano and the location dictates the offset. since it is internal thing, not sure why that is relevant.

I wish Go Team would focus on performance rather thann adding new features that nobody asked for. The http stack is barely able to beat NodeJS these days, ffs.

cloudflare is one of the most successful CIA spying op in history, following facebook. when people willingly disable their own encryption and allowing you to MITM them, money well spent i say.

ah, ffmpeg, the tool that powers the entire online video industry, praised for its stellar code...yet no one still knows how to use it without getting a phd in sherlocking the internet for miniscule and obscure references to common problems.

we should not be needing "guides". it should be simple and intuitive. if we need all of these tools to understand what we are doing, the spec is scrap and should have never been approved.

good luck with that ( ಠ ͜ʖ ರೃ)

Haha

I am working on a personal project(some would call it startup, but i have no intention of getting external financing and other americanisms) where i have set up my own cdn and video encoding, among other things. These days, whenever you have a problem, everyone answers "just use cloud" and that results in people really knowing nothing any more. It is saddening. But on the other hand it ensures all my decades of knowledge will be very well paid in the future, if i'd need to get a job.

iirc there were some benchmarks for quic vs standard http1/2 and the quic was essentially on par. the only thing it provided was faster something(really don't remember) but overall there was no difference to the client.

same goes for webp.

From my experience, it is about 3h per day where I can be productive. But one also has to include the problemsolving thinking that takes place outside of these hours.

meteorite watches are nothing unusual, exotic or expensive. there are also watches made from former soviet soviet space program debris(rockets) so you have a piece of metal that went into space(orbit) and back. i do not recall the name of the brand but it was very inexpensive and quite cool.

but why?

i miss the old opera with presto engine. they had the best web browser in times when IE was still the king. then firefox took over and was good. then google got involved, took over khtml and made chrome and now there is only chrome with different skins and icons and firefox is not that good any more.

because of uncontrolled money printing, duh.

It's the JavaScript, stupid. The world needs to move on already from this horrible thing into which we've invested gazillions of development hours and unfathomable amount of money. It's a non-deterministic crap that should have been replaced so freaking long time ago that we're now paying the price for being lazy and sticking with a bad thing instead of moving forward.

charging for bandwidth is theft in the first place. pure scam. sure, companies that built the infrastructure had to get heir money back, but that was in the past. they are now just milking their position where very few companies in the whole world can compete. not even patents are exclusive for ever. yet these companies treat their cables like they are a goose laying golden eggs now and for ever. this is one thing where governments should step in.

same. fuck 'em. they are not even that cheap to begin with. they used to be, not today.
