Do you have Castro set to stream or download? Can't figure out which is most efficient for storage purposes (I've only ever done streaming, but the cache files always become super large)
is Plaid inherently bad? Is having an automated way of pulling in real time data worth the security risk of authing into all your bank accounts? Genuinely asking as this seems great in theory, but I'm a bit confused what it looks like to manually keep it updated.
Yeah, I switched away from Google for this reason. Pretty wild to think of the implications of losing your phone and having no backup. Even switching phones required resettings all your codes. Authy is a mess, but at least had this functionality when they were still actively worked on.
Unless something has changed, they explicitly disallow any website that facilitates for profit commerce. Granted I don't think they closely monitor it unless your bandwidth is over a certain threshold. However, Cloudflare Pages is free and unlimited FWIW but I doesn't seem as nice or fast as Vercel.
Why did he not do any due diligence before buying? It's not like he had FOMO he was going to miss out. That's the part I don't understand in all of this.
Would be really appreciated if they would enable their free plan to be used for "commercial" sites. Their definition of a commercial-purpose site is so expansive it precludes just about every site I need to stand up. I know they deserve to make money, but Cloudflare, Netlifly, Heroku, etc. all offer this, so makes it hard to justify not just using one of them.
Kottke was very formative to my first big "deep dive" into the web and truly being blown away by the community / what would you could create. He was one of the original patreons.
Side note: what happened to his social bookmarking site he was working on?
I can't believe how confusing all these cloud products are to do the most basic things. It really makes me appreciate Cloudflare, they seem to do a really great job with their UIs.
