Vercel pricing is absolutely insane, it blows my mind Data transfer starts at $150/TB with 1TB included Hetzner gives 20TB free, and then it's €1.19/TB So 20TB on Vercel is $2850, on Hetzner it's free (included with VPS) And then you have to pay extra per request? Perhaps apples and oranges but I haven't even included half the other things you need to run apps on Vercel

Update: server survived, no stress

My favorite thing about the PHP stack is it lends itself to simplicity. You run Nginx + PHP-FPM, and point it to some files. Website updates = replace the files. No application restarts, no container issues, no complex deployment strategies, no crazy stateful application logic

working on side projects is like a video game you're on a difficult mission and you gotta find your way through the level sometimes you die and go back to start but you learn

Most people are missing the point of having a simple setup. How much time has been saved by not having to deal with the ever-changing mess of "modern" development? Time better spent building features, marketing, making money or enjoying life

Decided to run a marathon on a running track a couple of days ago. Been wanting to do this for a while and it did not disappoint. Expected hard mental effort but 3.5 hours flew by. 10/10 would do again

So we've had AI for a while now - where are we at with AI automatic bug fixes? Receive error (Sentry whatever) -> come up with fix -> open PR -> maybe auto-merge if high confidence? Is this a thing yet?

Putting the Cloudflare free plan in front of your site (takes a matter of minutes, depending on DNS) is one of the quickest wins I can think of for increased speed and security

In the Netherlands, the cucumbers are from Spain In Spain, the cucumbers are from the Netherlands How can this make sense? What's the underlying market force at play here?

Uh oh, AWS found me now... I don't even use any of their services, I just signed up to check their UI once, and now I'm receiving invoices from them?

How do people handle DB migrations in their application? (particularly rollbacks) Is there not a period of time where the DB is inconsistent with the running application code? Aside from blue/green deployment, how else are others managing it?

Recently switched from an 14" M1 Max MacBook Pro to a 13" M3 MacBook Air and I think it was a good move. Battery life is insane and it's so incredibly thin/light. Never heard the fans for my workload on M1 so not concerned about them not on M3. Downsides: no HDMI, speakers not great. Also, fingerprints are a real problem with the Midnight Blue color

Anyone recommendations for a good iOS SSH client? I dream of the day when I can leave the laptop at home, but still fix things on the fly with my phone. Would like to see if it's possible

Keyboard nerds, help me. I'm interested in trying a split keyboard, both for ergonomics and typing skill improvement. I'm currently using an Apple Magic Keyboard (lol) and like it, but it's very narrow for me Recommendations? Ideally nothing to break the bank for the first one

Collecting ideas: what apps do you self-host? (for personal/small biz use) I'm thinking along the lines of things like Plex, gaming servers, business tooling (scheduling, doc signing), analytics, wikis etc
