Adding Amazon CloudFront to the mix

I have a similar setup, I use Caprover as a nicer way to manage docker. You can build whatever you want into the dockerfile then just map the user directory to a local one and port forward where needed.

If you want to run a web app through a domain with SSL then it's trivial to setup a nginx proxy container.

It takes minutes to spin up a new dev environment with everything setup out of the box including environment variables and access tokens.

This would be simple for the user to execute but it would very quickly be spotted by the operator as it's all from a single originating MSISDN. Spreading the load over many users like your latter example would be a lot harder to spot, as would spamming through multiple SMS providers as you're diluting it (but it might also get picked up by the provider e.g. Twilio, MessageBird etc).

My point was that most spam originates from people with SS7 access and not SIM cards. It can also come through low cost SMS providers but is short lived as it's blocked the moment it's discovered or there's a complaint.

Hi, have you thought about hosting for this yet? I've got a similar site which I originally tried on AWS Amplify but it got too big for the artifact size limit so I opted for S3/Cloudflare instead however build times are slow and more of a manual process currently.

Thanks, I used your article with MATE 19.10 and it worked nicely. I didn't try your applet but instead heavily customised the i3wm and i3bar configs to my liking, wouldn't go back to a non tiling window manager now.

Stratus are still going (I'm assuming it's the same company, same product, same name) and making fault tolerant hardware like this.

They also offer a lower end product based on two standard servers where all the redundancy is software based with virtual machines.

It's clever kit and looks after a lot of critical infrastructure where downtime isn't an option.

Definitely agree. I'd love to see this integrated into Sendy, it would completely idiot proof the process.

I made this as a quick and dirty weekend project after spotting a friend post a picture of their house keys online.

I thought I'd try and raise awareness of how easily keys can be copied from photos. That combined with geocoded tweets is just asking for trouble.

It's not mobile friendly unfortunately.
