SteamOS at its base is just Arch with Steam and some additional software installed.

Hetzner dedicated servers by default have 1 GBit and free egress. You can opt for 10 GBit, which has 20TB and then €1 / TB overage.

How is this in a way related to that or not gaf about creators?

I pay €14/mo to not have ads on YouTube. It's good they have the skip feature for those sponsor segments, since they're just embedded ads.

Creators still benefit as my view has a higher $. Well... not anymore I suppose with the view attribution endpoint being blocked by my adblock.

Websites are moving towards providing md5/sha1/sha256 hashes of your normalized email (stripping the + from gmail) or phone number to advertisers.

A basically permanent ID. Unified ID2 is one version of this.

The 3rd party cookie ban and heavy pushback against alternative solutions suggested by Google just pushed advertisers into going an even worse route privacy wise.

Dumping third-party cookies is going to cause people's privacy to end up in a way worse position.

Almost all of ad tech is moving towards identifiers like hashed normalized emails (e.g. removing +'s from gmail), phone numbers, names, etc. for personalized ads.

Most calendars have the option for you to subscribe to an ical by pasting in the web address. Which they will then keep in sync.

The equivalent would be WinForms

They don't have ideal.ing though, waiting for the first scams to start popping up.

iDEAL is the payment system in the Netherlands. And they use ideal.ing.nl for it.

If you use etags it's up to R2. I'm assuming R2 is consistent here.

So if you write to the same file twice, one write will succeed before the other and change the etag of the file, which should in theory cause the other request to R2 to fail because the etag you send with as conditional no longer matches.

Couldn't the library implement a conditional operation using the etag, retrying if it fails? That should solve the consistency guarantee.

Ofc its a different matter if you write to the same key in the same file. But that could be solved with special method that allows you to do a setOrUpdate on a key in the json and when retrying the update method is executed again (allowing you to do increments or add a new item to an array) while guaranteeing consistency.

They probably already have that staff for GCP, Azure, AWS?

Depends? I remember WhatsApp being bought by Facebook (and subsequent privacy issues) being in the news a lot in the Netherlands.

Most people either don't care or everyone around them only uses WhatsApp for chat making it difficult to switch.

It is. No point in using any of the others in my opinion.

Your first link is incorrect, it should be:

https://mijn.overheid.nl/.well-known/security.txt

which redirects to the second one.

i.reddit.com was great, miss it dearly.

No, I only really know this because it was in the local news a while ago and though it was interesting / related to the OP.

Here in the Netherlands they decided to increase the water level of our lakes by 5cm to handle the drought season this year. Since the amount of snowfall in the Alps was lower than normal.

There’re lots of other analytics services

Not really. The only actual competitor to GA is Matomo Analytics, the rest are just copies of each other with the same very basic feature set.

The GeForce Now leak was pretty big as well, leaked tons of unannounced games.

There was also a leak of one of Ubisoft's games, not sure about source code.

Basically all AAA games are build using Visual Studio in some way.

Pretty sure the GDPR does say that. eitherway, what is the EU going to do a about it?

iirc Gdpr only applies if you target EU citizens. Blocking the EU from their website means they aren't targeting EU citizens.

Means they don't have to deal with laws of other countries.

Please, no more name changes.

People who DDOS sites usually attack the homepage.

If they attack a dynamic page, check if you can cache them for 30 or 60 seconds. Pretty close to real time.

If you have cookie based authentication for those pages, its going to be difficult to cache them at all though. Which is where SPAs come in useful since auth is client side.

Cloudflare detects the DDOS and will block it, notifying you by email. We almost never use the Under Attack Mode unless it's actually affecting us.

The biggest thing we do to help ourselves when we're under attack is making sure that the pages being ddosed (homepage, etc) is being cached by them. There will always be some requests that CF doesnt block, so the cache ensures they get served by them.

Why would we care how CloudFlare handles that behind the scenes? They offer an amazing product for the value. Why shouldn't we take them up on it?

Besides its not like we're not paying them anything, our monthly bill with them is $1k+

What kind of numbers do you want? Last month we used 200TB+ in bandwidth across all our sites, no bandwidth charges from CF.

120TB of that is our CDN backed by a Cloud provider, we had to only pay them for 3TB in bandwidth charges.

During peak traffic they serve 35% of our pages because of their cache, with some site improvements we will be able to up that to 60% soon.

Edit: I must add that we are on the Pro plan and do use multiple paid features like Workers and Load Balancers.

Yea our sites used to be DDOSed daily for 2 months. We're now getting a DDOS once or twice a week.

Edit: Some numbers, most of them are between 2k-5k requests per second. But we had some with 20k-30k rps.

Because without CloudFlare we would: Pay thousands in bandwidth costs per month; Double or triple our servers to handle peaks (they cache and serve the HTML for us); Be down constantly because of DDOS attacks.
