Problem of free tier is just to entice devs in the hope that one of them likes the infrastructure and works at a whale

If you use the free tier too much they close it because you used it too much and exceeded their fair use policy

If instead you don’t use it enough, they close it for inactivity

And it automatically does HA. Reuse the key on another server and if one goes down it automatically switches to the next one

(Of course the application needs to support this, if you do this with a normal database it will break immediately)

No.

In my case I was using syncthing to backup /storage on my phone and turns out there are faster ways to do that

My alternative:

1. Ente for photos
2. Borg via termux for the full /storage backup (including the photos)

Maybe it’s actually true that catfriend1 knows the new owner in real life but… this is not a calculator app, this is something that has complete access to the phone storage… handing the keys without any communication is concerning…

And the issues are locked so if something nefarious happens, discussion will only occur somewhere else instead of the repo

I bought a drive like that from Amazon Germany for that price, found it using diskprices.com. It was “brand new” and indeed the smart reported 0 hours, but it died within a few hours when I sent a dd wipe operation to stress test it.

Conclusion: it was a scam, the drive was already dead and had thousands of hours of life in a server. They used some low level diag tool to reset the counters and make it look like new instead of having 50k hours of life

Fun fact: they shipped it in a paper mailer, completely inappropriate for an HDD. Probably in this way they can blame Amazon warehouse “it’s them, they packed it like that!” if someone reports is as DOA. If instead it still works after 50k hours of 24/7 abuse and shipping it across Europe in a paper mailer, then it’s indestructible and will outlast the user.

Trakt raises the VIP subscription to $60/year? Are they crazy? They really think that a service that simply tracks what movies you watch is worth that price?

There are streaming subscriptions cheaper than that

Well, their website pictures and targets only persons sitting at home with a dormant phone, and not some kind of other specialty use

Question: SNS stands for social network services, but if this message predates Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, what it was? MySpace or msn Messenger?

Pit maneuver? Isn’t just enough to throw a orange cone on the hood?

giving a scan of your ID to the shadiest people on the web doesn’t seem a smart idea.

also: it’s not impossible for little jimmy to get a copy of his dad driving license…

Yes and the driver died too

He really has talent in choosing all his picks. “Ummm who could be the worst person ever to fill this role?”

When you enter the US under student visa (F1) and you drop out of college, your status become invalid and you have to leave the country in 30 days even if the visa sticker on the passport says “valid until next year”

With all the resources their family had, there were more “legal” ways to buy access to the country, like creating a fake company with fake employees

Don’t forget that (using his words) he himself was an illegal alien that overstayed his student visa and started to work in his first startup with invalid status. Kick him out and ban him from re entry, no exceptions!

Facebook is the expert at tracking, wouldn’t they be able of blacklisting every handset while getting info on the favorite breakfast of the thiefs?

Probably a lower adoption rate than Vista

Google did this just because they’re nice and not because they wanted to slurp all those tasty archives for their ai models for free

For the first and last time 😟

it’s always good to have bike racks, but installed like this would completely block the sidewalk when a bike is parked 😕

Edit: unless this is just a useless corner that just leads to the back of the store.
