    Use the Temporary Containers extension, it does just that.

    Yep, international/amex cards aren't enabled by default by most POS providers (_due to the high fees on the merchant side_) and most small businesses don't really know or care enou…

    In fact, card acceptance has gone _up_ in my experience. Unless you're using a very small shop which just has a QR code, most businesses now use a POS which supports a lot of payme…

    I think that's a very simplistic take, it doesn't account for people who need to support children's education and/or healthcare for parents. Both are areas where costs are going up…

    We used to have self-hosted runners on Hetzner dedicated servers, and we migrated to UbiCloud ~6 months ago. Unless you can optimise your CI runtime to be very balanced and fast, y…

    Are they going to be using gerrit or a private repo and push changes back regularly? Sometimes the discussions on PRs are equally valuable to see how a commit was arrived at, and I…

    It's still open source, but not open for public contributions. That's pretty much how it was before the advent of these forges.

    Any plans to support Android? It's not always possible to be iOS-only.

    What's the plan for monetization? Your license is Apache 2.0, which I'm not sure makes sense from having customers pay. In contrast, Lago uses AGPL-3.0 and has an open-core model (…

    One more data point: at work we use Stripe for most regions [1], but in our largest region (South Africa) we have to use Paystack [2] (a Stripe subsidiary). The API isn't 1:1 compa…

    I too use Temporary Containers, and my solution is to use a named container and associate that site with the container.

    You can use DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED constraints so that the check happens when the transaction is committed.

    Most banking sites log you out very aggressively, and a lot of them require some sort of 2FA during login. It's quite inconvenient to have to do this login dance every time you nee…

    Thanks, in the same situation as you and feel the same!

    Why not use CloudFlare in front? That's what was being used anyway, as per the article.

    I maintain https://committers.top which does this -- it's a fork of commits.top

    Yeah, that works for me as well.

    I assume it depends on the nature of the diff? I do a lot of code review at $JOB, and sometimes the diff is so obvious that there's no need to look further. OTOH if the code is som…

    It was raised to 5x of that in February, but doesn't help as that requires the bank to be declared as failed. The regulator (RBI) has refused to do that in multiple instances, most…

    wkhtmltopdf maintainer here. That's really cool! Did you manage to find a workaround for https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/packaging/issues/2 ? If so, would appreciate a PR :-)

    I'm the maintainer of wkhtmltopdf, and it's hopelessly out of date. There's still some bugs in the Chrome print-to-PDF support as support was added just a few days ago: https://bug…
