Cloudflare Drop 14 days ago

Agreed I think this is pretty solid especially since you get all the Cloudflare benefits like CDN from the get-go.

Pretty cool tbh!!! Would have loved seeing the decoder code!!!

It's also pretty interesting to think how an attacker could exploit images on his behalf. Never thought that would be a way!!!

Thanks!

1000% I got legit Cloudflare Workers Anycast IPs that I was using for websockets blocked.

I also got blocked from using RustDesk.

It's been crazy. As this happens intermittently. I had to set up a tailscale exit node in one of my servers to circumvent this crap. I lost several days and called Vodafone (ISP) to understand what was going on.

That's when I read Reddit and saw that crap.

Termux 6 months ago

I discovered it 1 week ago.

I don't know why I never tried this in the past! SSHing my machine and vice-versa!

Just figured out that I could use my computer's terminal to send to my android's clipboard via SSH.

Pair it with Tailscale and we have a beast!

I can see this.

I learned from a friend to use Zod to check for process.env. I refined it a bit and got:

```

const EnvSchema = z.object({

  NODE_ENV: z.enum(['development', 'production', 'staging']),

  DATABASE_URL: z.string(),

  POSTHOG_KEY: z.string(),
});

export type AlertDownEnv = z.infer<typeof EnvSchema>;

export function getEnvironments(env: Record<string, string>): AlertDownEnv { return EnvSchema.parse(env); }

```

Then you can:

```

const env = getEnvironments(process.env);

```

`env` will be fully typed!

Definitely, I need to do some improvements in my frontend logic!

Just went and bought it!

I'm in a process where application-level programming isn't cutting it anymore (I still have a lot to learn, but it's in the diminishing returns).

I've been looking to understand the entire stack at a deeper level (from how requests are made to how they're parsed), and this seems like the next natural step!

Thanks a bunch!

Love Vivaldi! It has improved significantly over the years! I use it in tandem with Firefox.

I love to have thumbnail tabs!

I think they need to respond to all the funds they've raised and need to generate money somehow beyond subscriptions.

I've been dabbling a bit with configuring Nginx, and there's a lot of configuration scattered across the web without proper explanations.

Here, Derek DeJonghe, provides production-ready Nginx configurations with explanations for the most common cases.

ULID or CUID2? 2 years ago

What should I use for a startup going after B2B sales?

ULIDs or CUID2s for primary keys?

I remember seeing Hussein Nasser's Shopify video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f53-Iw_5ucA

And it made me switch to using ULIDs instead.

I know this may fall into the "premature optimization is the root of all evils" category. But since it's straightforward, what should I do?

I've been using ULIDs in distributed systems with no problems so far.

TBH, we still need to see how it integrates with the keyboard.

Ever since I've been using a Mac since Nov. 2023 that's been one of the things that I've battled with, and I've assigned a heck tons of shortcuts to make that happen.

I think this outlines a bigger problem.

JavaScript Ecosystem itself.

It's incredible we do transpiration, minification, bundling to the same language the interpreter is going to read.

I remember back in 2016 when I traveled to the US to get my master's (proud latino over here).

It was cold af, but the college experience was awesome: met a lot of different cultures, made some great friendships, and learned a lot... But...

As every new person to a new country (in a foreign language), there are many hurdles, and it's impossible to forget how painful it was to open a bank account.

It took me a painful 3 hours and several voodoo tactics with a relative to finally open a checking bank account within Bank of America.

No SSN, no credit score, no records; it was as if I didn't exist. I needed the bank account because it was how I was supposed to receive my funds and live!

Finally... just finally after that awful experience was over, it went buttery smooth. Love the technology that US banks provide

Nonetheless, after 2 years, my study period was over and I left the US (I do visit it yearly for tourism), and left my BofA account opened with some $.

As it was normal, my debit card expired, and I had to issue a new one to access my account! BoFa requires you to use your debit card PIN as a 2FA step.

The problem is that the only address I have is a courier. And while I can receive almost anything, I don't know why, even after verifying my address, it never seem to reach it.

Therefore there's no way to get back to your account, unless you spend 1 hour of your day dealing with customer support.

In addition, BoFA has geoblocking outside the US. I have to connect through a VPN and use Google Hangouts (to prevent expensive international calls) to reach them.

Just plain awful.

If you asked me I do miss having a US card because there are sites that only allow you to use US issued cards. For one, I couldn't buy AppleCare for my father's MacBook because Apple wouldn't allow me to use foreign cards.

I have no idea whether this service (Pana) would do any justice, but if it works as well as the founders are envisioning to, then have my blessings.

We all need to be represented when we travel abroad, especially the marginalized Latino community.
