Good point. Updated the criteria to "no/fewest". Having anonymous login and crypto as a payment option seems it would go a long way here...

Which VPS providers can you suggest that work well for running private VPNs (for proxying internet traffic)? CRITERIA - Affordable :: Relatively, at least on par with the better VP…

Build something you wish existed. Simple as that. Even if it already exists but there are things about it that annoy you (and others), build a better version (competitor).

I'm trying to decide whether to do this same thing or try and keep all of the "backend" parts in Cloudflare Workers (Pages Functions) and other "serverless" options (such as Turso …

Recently learned about https://coolify.io (as another option that seems worth considering).

Interesting question. Curious also if there's any practical approach for this (guessing there's not).

LOL! Love the spirit of this... (though most likely won't go this route)

Working on a side project: Family Movie DB (familymoviedb.com) Currently it's a simple static site (built with Astro) served via Cloudflare Pages. The next phase of the project is …

Hadn't heard of pockethost before. Recently learned about https://www.convex.dev/ which seems worth consideration.

How do you prevent issues with potential traffic spikes and such (with running 10 services on a single instance) (this is probably a dumb question... most of my experience is on th…

Hosting and database?

Recently learned bout CapRover... Curious if you would ever consider the "bare VPS" route after having used it or if it (or something like it) has become essential.

Database?

I've seen lots of bad PR for Cloudflare recently (at least on YouTube and X). Seems to be related to poor-form sales tactics (lure in users for cheap and later require they up thei…

How do you consume your RSS? It's always been something i've felt like i'd benefit from but have never found an app/workflow that works for me.
