I;ve had my share of VPS & Managed DB outages at DO, so they are also not faultless.

Not if, but when. No one is faultless. Chasing after 100% is a fool's errand.

I've been with DO since checks mailbox 2014. Honestly never experienced an unannounced outage.

Yeah overall they are ok. I think 3 times managed db and one or twice a vps just dead. No issues in a year or so.

They were always hardware failures, took about 45-120min. Not the end of the world, but also not fun getting lot of client complaints.

This one doesnt seem to be open source though sadly. Using chinese servers is a step to far for me personally

Look for an open release from the Qwen team in the coming weeks. They like to showcase their proprietary models first, which score higher on benchmarks anyway due to model size.

You are sending all your prompts code and files there. So ofcourse its an issue

Where's "there" on a self-hosted setup?

Try dealing with a herniated disc, more ibu is definitely better. Too little wont do anything, proper dose and you feel healed

I had a herniated disc and severe nerve pain. I took 16 ibuprofen a day, 4 200mg pills every 6 hours, it did nothing that I could tell. I also used a methylprednisolone dose pack, also didn't seem to help. I also tried prescribed opioid (tramadol), didn't seem to help much.

Acetaminophen worked far, far better than all these. It worked so well, but i wanted to be careful to limit myself to 3000mg a day, so I took 1 500mg pill every 4 hours for a few days while awaiting surgery. It's the only thing that got me through it. Even a epidural lumbar steroid injection didn't help...

Yeah can confirm. I try to keep it low but then pain lingers for days and cumulatively over the days most probably I took as much as I should have taken in stating few days already.

yeah tried to reserve ibu for sleep and during the day walking as much as possible. I know not everyone feels better while walking, luckily I did.

No, moving definitely works. I can almost predict when my sciatica pain will be coming - usually when I work long hours sitting and don't do enough movement. I struggle to be more active than just going to the gym. I think we - those who suffer from herniated disc and sciatica, need to move much more than those who don't.

desk treadmill really helped me

Spine issues are the single thing that pish me to ibuprofen or naproxen over acetaminophen. The latter does nothing for my issues.

yeah, its the inflammation going down that reliefs the nerve.

Took me 3 months, out of 2 i wasn't able to sit. Luckily I could walk and that give me great relief. So walked for hours.

Keeping the habit, will mostly being coding from my phone & walking from now on.

Really nice you found a workaround. I am constantly trying different ways to alleviate my pain without drugs.

Anecdotally: ibuprofen, methylprednisolone, epidural lumbar steroid injection all did little to nothing for my herniated disc nerve pain.

Acetaminophen worked wonders, even better than an opioid.

Seems like all dutch cheeses are just grouped under gouda, fine but there are plenty of extra hard, hard, semi-hard, semi goat cheeses. Same with the cow cheeses.

See hard goat cheese example, its delicious https://www.goudsekaasshop.nl/geitenkaas-oud-1-kilo.html?gad...

I mean the admin account had visibility of clients env vars, thats maybe not really great in the first place.

This is incorrect.

You preface with PUBLIC_ to expose them in client side code.

When you rotate them, you supposed expire your old vars

I always thought of this idea in the city, there are lots of driving schools and perhaps taxi drivers that can drop packages off if the packages are not in a rush. That might be a start.

and then without knowing it you are paying 1000's a month to stripe

This is kind of the tradeoff you need to make when launching a product though. You cleave off some of the product's margin & send it to a third party so that you can get the thing launched. If it's unsuccessful, that's fine, you'll pay no money to the vendor. If it's successful..? Great! Now you can afford to pay someone to build a checkout that doesn't cost me thousands a month in fees.

Stripe takes 1.5-2.5%, so if you're sending them 1,000s a month, your revenues from that checkout are approaching the $millions p/a. Certainly enough to hire an expert in the domain.

It costs much more then that, that's their feeds on top of CC, conversion etc. at 20K mrr you are easily paying 1k p/m in Stripe & Processing fees.

How is that different than any other payment processor? Interchange isn't free anywhere

Stripe's fees are well above interchange fees (especially in Europe). On top of that Stripe's pricing for other features (e.g. invoicing and subscriptions) is also a percentage, so you end up paying a ton for those features.

And other payment processors don't charge a fee for invoicing and subscriptions?

I'm not sure if they all charge a percentage of your money transfers for that. At work we decided to migrate that part to an internal system anyway.

because stripe on purpose hide fees, constantly asks you to try out new features and then secretly charges you more then market price when you say yes. See radar, managed payment, stripe billing management etc.

This means you’ve done everything absolutely fucking right

thats a bit my point, you get there at around 18-20K mrr already

Fair point, just saw your other comment.

He is right, reading the docs you have no idea which events leads to what. Nowadays with llm's it's easy before that I still dont know which events mean what.
