You certainly don't need a hardware token, you can store it in any FIPS 140 Level 2+ stores. This includes stuff like Azure KeyVault and AWS KMS.

Azure Trusted Signing is 100% the best choice, but if for whatever reason you cannot use it, you can still use your own cloud store and hook in the signing tools. I wrote an article on using AWS KMS earlier this year: https://moonbase.sh/articles/signing-windows-binaries-using-...

TLDR: Doing this yourself requires a ~400-500$/year EV cert and miniscule cloud costs

The Ladybird project started a similar journey, and indeed they are mainly waiting on Swift 6+ features as documented in their blockers issue: https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/issues/933

Datadog is a monstrosity, they do so many things, most of which you don't know or don't care about, so which ones do you need?

We ended up going for HyperDX, just because I really favour fast log searches and simple alerts straight to Slack, but many of these Clickhouse-powered observability suites like Signoz, BetterStack, etc will do the job. Just depends how much you want to pay.

Also, I hope you're on OTEL already, since it makes changing providers the most easy task ever.

You don’t open up for CSRF attacks if you use same site cookies, which I guess is part of why this pattern is seeing more use now.

I think the main attack vector they are trying to protect against is XSS attacks. If a malicious actor manages to inject client side code, there’s nothing preventing them from exfiltrating tokens and gaining persistent user access. This because there is no Secure Enclave to store tokens in in browsers. The bff pattern can solve this by using HTTP only cookies, keeping all session tokens on the server. For high security scenarios like banks and health it makes sense, but there are so many more attack vectors that it’s not gonna cover it all.

It was serverless from the start, although there isn't a whole lot of serverless unique code in it, apart from some event handler bootstrapping to handle SQS triggered Lambdas. Everything else is just standard .Net that would look the same no matter where it's hosted. Huge fan of separating infrastructure concerns from the rest of the app to not lock yourself in so much.

Fully managed so I can spend my time on actually building features. In my case, AWS is my go to cloud, and even with a couple of thousand users, Lambda for compute, DynamoDB for database and SNS+SQS for eventing is costing me less than 5€ per month. Yes, there are risks with serverless if you get DDOSed or whatever, but it’s a risk I’m fine with, and can mitigate with gateways in front if necessary. And Lambdas are not locking me in to AWS since I’m running “full” ASP.Net apps in them, so hosting them on actual compute platforms is an easy switch.

Purely speculative, but I suspect quite a number of vr players have gotten used to the floating movements. Some vr games are just vastly better using floating movements, especially FPS games. Look at Pavlov VR for example, it's honestly the best movement I've ever used in VR, but it requires the player to overcome the motion sickness introduced by the floating movement. And if players are getting used to it, I'm guessing new games have an easier time utilizing that?

This was the first year I've been with them, and pre-paid for a year of dedicated servers.

(Anecdotal evidence) While I've been happy with OVH over the last year, literally last night they suspended my servers because they weren't able to charge my card.

No warning that they would charge it, no pre-authorization, no grace period to rectify the problem, just shut down the servers at 2AM in the night.

Not happy to say the least.

Some countries do _kinda_ have this, for registering `.no` domains you need to be a Norwegian citizen or do it through a Norwegian company. Not sure how much that actually helps tho?

Dell's have so many issues that make me hesitant to ever get one again.

Ranging from warranty being voided for placing them in a bag: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28639952

To having to _buy_ access to drivers; Dell support told me I had to pay to get access to the Windows 7 drivers of a Dell laptop I explicitly bought because of the Windows 7 compatibility.

Vendor lock-in is always omni-present, even if you are using Kubernetes. The only difference is that the vendor lock-in you get when you run Kubernetes is mainly with the infrastructure layer hosting the code, instead of the code entrypoints.

Not to mention any managed services you want to use, which also will lock you in. So I don't do anything extreme to avoid vendor lock-in, other than making my code general enough to only have a small surface area for the lambda entry point. As a practical example, all of my APIs hosted on Lambdas are ordinary ASP.Net apps that would work identically if hosted in Docker containers.

Pricing so far is one of the biggest benefits of doing serverless approaches. I'm down to paying a couple of dollars per month for something that I'd pay tenfold for if doing Kubernetes. Both the monetary sum of only paying for what you're using, and also not having to worry about cluster maintenance, scaling and management is a godsend.
