    Github is by far the more woke platform, so I think you missed the point.

    Once again vindicated by running my own CDN and not living with the irrational belief that everything needs cloudflare.

    Yeah, currently hosting LLHLS edge nodes in US + EU and caching CDN worldwide. The base cost grows if you have an audience of e.g. 2000 live viewers for a 2mbps stream = 4gbps. Cou…

    You misread the bandwidth cost part of my comment. A $28/mo (Australian) vimeo subscription, or the "Advanced" $91/mo plan include the same 2TB bandwidth/month for viewers of your …

    Hence https://jobs.now/ Get applying, every application sends a H1-B fraudster home (not, but we can wish).

    People paying for managed services have no concept of bandwidth costs, so they probably think what you just described is impossible. Bandwidth these days can be less than .25/m at …

    Written by somebody who hasn't taken 1 look at yt-dlp source code or issues. Google regularly pushes updates that "coincidentally" break downloaders. The obfuscation and things the…

    1.2 million weekly downloads to this day, when we've had builtin padStart since ES2017. Yes, I remember thinking at the time "how are people not ashamed to install this?"

    Freedom with crypto means I can pay bills without unjust barriers, and no individual and especially no "financial institution" (ultimately the governments) decides if my transactio…

    Github is my push --mirror location, nothing more. Main is a popular Gitlab instance gitgud.io, and I host my own secondary mirror. Gitlab is of course adding more AI and corpo gar…
