This is indeed sad. We are/were a customer, and one of the earliest edge computing customers. For a long time they've been the only provider truly offering the ability to run nativ…

Not included with Prime in the UK

Great write-up! One question I had was around the use of keepalives. There's no mention in the article of whether keepalives were used between the client and reverse proxy, and no …

That 15Mb/s figure for 4K is out of date by a couple of years. They previously targeted a fixed average bitrate of 15.6Mb/s. They now target a quality level, as scored by VMAF. Thi…

The same author has been reporting diligently on Pollen, and has said he will do a write-up on the collapse there. I will be very interested to read that.

I'm not so sure. If I load a saved map in Google Maps (e.g. someone has saved a route with markers and shared it with me), and then I go offline whilst viewing it, Google Maps on A…

An amusing side effect of this is that even if I search for the exact title on Spotify, their search does not find the podcast. I eventually found it on Spotify by searching for Be…

There isn't an "official data source" for RDOF evaluation. ISPs are required to carry out measurements in the markets where they've accepted funds. Measurements are carried out on …

My experience with Paypal is the opposite. On multiple occasions I've had someone send me money on Paypal, but then it gets held up in checks and verification for 2-4 weeks, during…

I'd second Mosyle Business. We pay for about 40 licences. It costs us very little and they provide quick support.

I've been using Gen1 eeros since they were first released in around 2016. They're still getting software updates and they're still rock solid. I'll be first in line to purchase a n…

For what it's worth, we run "edge compute" with two separate mid-sized CDNs and pay about $0.005 per GB. This required a bit of negotiation, but has no minimum commitment and is on…

Filtering out the spam results is only half the problem. In my experience, a legitimate site's content is cloned by a spam site, and that one appears in a Google search and the leg…

I also haven't received one. Checked spam too. My server is a 61 EUR/mo, and is a Xeon E5-1650v3 with 256GB RAM. It was only provisioned a few weeks ago.

Enjoyed reading your bio on your website. Sub 24 hour at Leadville is super impressive! (Coming from someone who has not managed 24 hours at Western States... Yet...)

I hadn't heard of Tom Lane before. But his prolificness in contributing led me to search for him. And wow. He has quite a history. Co-author or the PNG spec. Major contributor to J…

> I would still rather work with Postgres AND have to juggle a connection pooler Is this comment relating to the overhead of idle connections, which has historically necessitated t…

We use the excellent gdnsd ( https://github.com/gdnsd/gdnsd ), mainly for its geo-DNS configurability. Have been using it for probably 5-6 years now, handling hundreds of millions …

Also check out https://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=36 . That has plenty of US hosts at around that price range too

Kagi.com does this. In closed beta at the moment, but you can email and request access.

Hetzner's offering is competitive too. 58 EUR/mo at https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-apple

https://www.mkdocs.org/ . Probably not the latest or greatest, but it produces nice looking documentation from markdown. Serves my purposes well.
