I have a few apps I wrote that I like to look at once or twice a year (and have available for my resume).
Looks like my only options are paying $504/y or moving to another service.

OT: your HN profile says: > All comments Copyright © 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2018, 2023, 2031 I'm curious. If you were to continue that sequence would the continuation be: A. 2044, 2065, 2099, 2154, 2242 B. 2044, 2065, 2099, 2154, 2243 C. Something else?
My HN test is an IQ test that I, myself, cannot pass.
The future ones (2023, 2031, ...) are primes in lunar arithmetic in base 4 written in base 4, of course.

#563Fly.io has a dedicated process for moving off of Heroku. Auth via Heroku and they'll launch your app onto Fly. They also have a free tier. The process: https://fly.io/launch/heroku The docs: https://fly.io/docs/app-guides/speed-up-a-heroku-app I haven't used it [the Heroku -> Fly process] myself, but it's been around for quite some time!
Please let me know in the replies what you'd like to see at Fly that would make it as good, if not better, than Heroku. I recently started working at Fly to focus on making Rails & Ruby app deployments awesome, and of course Heroku set that benchmark almost a decade ago. I can't promise I'll get to everything, but I can promise that it will help me better prioritize what I should be focusing on to make Fly better for…
The most used features are probably direct deployments from github or a direct connection to personal github repository in web gui.
Variables and secrect should be changable in web gui.

I really like the build-in statistics provided by Heroku. It is the main reason for staying with them. The statistics are basic but clear enough to keep an eye on an application (my apps are mainly in golang).

It also misses anyone else looking to learn. Self study folks, anyone without a bootcamp connected to a sales team, non traditional schools ... you're out. I remember changing careers and studying and a lot of sites promised free stuff but if you weren't connected to whomever they worked with / a traditional school you were kinda SOL unless you wanted to go begging on twitter or something like that. Granted I get the…
> Self study folks, anyone without a bootcamp connected to a sales team, non traditional schools ... you're out. Disagree. Traditionally you pay for education through property taxes or tuition or whatever. A determined person in this field can cough up $20 a month for a very capable server. When I was young and poor 40 years ago, to teach myself programming I spent all my money on books that cost $35 a pop at least,…
I don’t know what you’re disagreeing with.

Things like Kiwifarms which provide a risk of substantial reputational damage if you're seen to be supporting them. There's a campaign on Twitter to deplatform KF from Cloudflare after more SWATting incidents, for example.
Everyday I learn about a new dark corner of the internet.
You're just now learning about Twitter?

> It's likely also the reason Google's moved away from unlimited storage for educational institutions. Absolutely, piracy forums have guides to fake being a student to get an unlimited account, then mirror huge (1TB+) gdrives full of pirated content to your own. This was (is?) happening on a huge scale.
1TB is tiny for DataHoarder rather than huge. 100TB is easily possible, some may host 1PB.
Back in the day of Amazon Drive Unlimited there was a a data hoarder that had over 1PB of camgirl content stored and indexed on Amazon Drive, this is largely believed to be one of the reasons Amazon Drive Unlimited was discontinued.

Porn and crypto sure, but what are nazi's using free hosting and bandwidth for?
Presumably, "nazi" here is a stand-in for any form of communication not protected by free speech laws and / or is actively forbidden by government censors (or perhaps merely undesirable by social standards). Hate speech, anti-government advocacy, promotion of violence and terrorism etc will use "free" tier accounts because they want as little capability of being tracked to in-real-life people as possible. They may or…
No, "nazi" is pretty literal - Cloudflare hosted Stormfront and the Daily Stormer for a while, both of which are actually neo-Nazi. Wikipedia and Axios seem to think Cloudflare stopped hosting Stormfront in 2017, and I don't want to visit a neo-Nazi site even to determine how true this is, but stormfront.org's A records in DNS do still point to Cloudflare IPs.
[Edit: someone found an article from later in 2017 where it seems like Cloudflare resumed hosting Stormfront just over a month after it had stopped hosting it.]

Young people use google for YouTube more than anything else. When they search, it’s on YouTube.
TikTok is starting to replace Google for Gen Z. There was an interesting Twitter thread not too long ago about Gen Z using TikTok instead of Google Search or YouTube for looking up how to do things. Recipes, fashion, products to buy, etc.
Mind sharing the link? Can't Tiktok it. 10x.
