    Really missed an opportunity not naming this site "How do you like them apples?"

    I'm afraid to ask, but why are people anti ubiquity? I freaking love my udm-pro and am waiting for their cams to come back in stock so I can ditch my nests.

    Lol, did you use this for something practical and useful? I remember it being kind of mind blowing tech wise at the time, but past that I can’t remember getting a ton of use out of…

    Switched from heroku to a vultr VPS, and AWS S3/Cloudfront -> Backblaze B2 + Bunny CDN. Saved myself a boatload and don’t regret it for a second.
