Is it a team really? Most commits seem to come from one user "carrotindustries". I am really interested in an Open Source CAD application with good UX, this one looks great. But I don't want to spend too much time on an application maintained mostly by a single developer. The risk of it being abandoned is too high.
I recommend you take a look at bunny.net, an Cloudflare alternative which is European and can support deno workers and so you are much more likely to be able to use it
Regarding Cloudflare r2, there might be many but I like the idea of Upcloud and you can get yourself say a 3.50 euros machine there and (they got unlimited egress! Wish I was sponsored by them lmaoo) and their block storage is around 20 Euros per month for unlimited egress. They provide 1-24 TB per month free unlimited but after that its capped at 100mbps for unlimited amount of time and I don't think that it could be an issue in this case? And you can always get more 3.50 euros servers to get more 100mbps unlimited so the possibilities are endless
OVH provides unlimited egress as well and OVH is another good bet. I love both for unlimited egress if what you are doing is very bandwidth intensive in the first place
Both are European. I have heard good things about scaleway too
Also searched bunny and looks like it provides some storage service too and unlimited egress to bunny cdn from that
https://bunny.net/pricing/storage/
If Dock runs on AWS or Cloudflare infra it is, by definition, a no go for me and many others here. Would like to get an answer on that.
FWIW: I use scaleway far a medium sized project and find it a good experience. Of course there are bugs and some things could be better. But support is good and the responses to bugs in their terraform provider are quick.
Also using bunny.net, happy so far.
Only thing I am missing is to create mailboxes (not transactional mail) on those two providers. I needed a third one for that.
Scaleway doesn't provide unlimited egress the last time I provided beyond 75 gigs if I remember correctly and scaleway feels great in some situations but I wouldn't try to force it in here if the project is bandwidth intensive.
I don't know but Upcloud gained my loyalty when I created my account and I don't have credit card but I could still use their service and go talk to their customer service for the 7 days my trial account is active and their support was so phenomenal and nice and just, man, They aren't kidding when they say that their support can have 1 minute times in things)
I do feel like Scaleway and Upcloud too might charge more than OVH and hetzner but they both have better support and long term its really worth it.
For what its worth, I really like scaleway's stardust servers as I had analyzed some servers in Lowendtalk and other websites etc. which had benchmarks and Scaleway's stardust development servers are one of the cheapest in the market for the development boxes but they are limited to 1/2 per account but I feel like scaleway does this to get people try scaleway in the first place and I do find this really fascinating idea and not many other do it.
EU cloud is definitely under-rated especially for egress related stuff (like this) because AWS,gcloud,Azure from what I hear costs like a bank of money for egress.
I do think that more people should evaluate the right option of cloud for their job using the right "tool" for the right job.
Glad that you liked scaleway tho. I haven't had experience with scaleway tho but I have heard that they have a good slack (ironic isn't it?) server where their devs are active.
Perhaps they will go to dock which might get one day hosted on scaleway, could be really cool :)
Totally different experience here! For a project I wanted to try “euro cloud”. Something comparable to digital ocean. No need for hyperscaler functionality.
It has been great. Good terraform provider and reliable service. I like their console, although the design feel very vaporwave to me.
Of course stuff can be better, but it is rapidly improving. The way they implemented grafana + user management was shit. But that’s fixed. Grafana still feels bolted on however. And login is a bit weird with their dedibox or whatever button next to the cloud offering. But no where near as confusing as aws is!
Also bumped on a bug in their terraform provider, found a related bug report, contributed some info and it was fixed within two weeks.
Quite happy so far. Running serverless sql, serverless containers. Secrets management and some iam config. No big stuff but quite sure it is capable to run a decently sized saas.
I won't comment on the reliability of their services, as I've not experienced it. I was signing up specifically to provision a M1 mac mini, and couldn't navigate it. It was unfortunate, but worth a comment, in case others experience the same issue (or someone else could point me in the right direction).
Except that it now has ten times the number of reminders popping up to please subscribe for premium, even though I already have the world maps package, so they got some of my money already.
There’s a lot of middleground between hobbyists and your company’s use ;) Most mid-sized publishers I’ve worked with are in the $4-10k/mo range depending on CDN availability
My point is that the parent I was replying to replied to “only hobbyists pay full price on aws”. The parent was expecting to get a discount on a 10k monthly bill. It is a lot of money, but not to AWS. You probably wont get (much) discount on 10k a month.
later: "no one who spends more than $10k/month pays full price"
curious, that no one says what their bills are when they say "40-60% discount", right? This thread started because someone mentioned dell/netapp because they were half the price of AWS, all-in.
I notice a lot of threads do this, lately. Not this topic, but topics in general.
Contrary experience from me: i hate my samsung frame, especially because of the ads. And more especially because of that samsung tv channel which autostarts. And I hate it even more because these ads change the menu in such a way that you cannot navigate it blindly because it inserts itself as a button mid way in the menu bar.
You cannot disable or disable those things easily.
Built in airplay is unstable.
Bought and connected an apple tv, always switch on the tv with that. Most problems solved.
I have considered doing the same, but I decided to stick with the default since I love the Art Mode. I also bought it primarily as decoration, so it serves its purpose just fine.
(I wouldn't buy it as primary TV however, because of the previously mentioned OS annoyances)
I got my Frame with the house we bought. I never put it on my network. It's irritating that it powers-on many times to the wall art display function versus just being a TV. I definitely wouldn't have bought it standalone.
>It's irritating that it powers-on many times to the wall art display function versus just being a TV.
I personally love the Art Mode, but while browsing the service menu I've noticed that you can permanently disable it. You can make the secret menu appear by pressing some special combination or by pressing 2 buttons on the service remote[0].
I actually like the idea of art mode, but I'd only want to use something like that if it were a passive technology like e-ink. Otherwise I think the electricity use and wear and tear on the display would eat at me. The device is well built and the presentation is lovely, but I just can't stomach the idea of it burning electricity all the time. (I don't know what its standby draw is, sadly. I do have a lot of stuff on power strips because I worry about standby draw. You're making me realize that this TV, being built-in to the wall, has escaped that scrutiny.)
Agree. I have two recent Samsung smart tvs. The screen quality I like (OLED) but everything else about them I hate. I use a PS5 as an entry point for the tv, after the atrocious “tv boot up to functional time” which is a phrase I never considered having to say 20 years ago.
Nice, looks like a decent framework. I used to do a lot of python for backend web apps, but recently jumped on the hypetrain and used go for developing a web app (devops) tool. Single binary, easy deployment etc etc.
From that experience, I think this competes with go based web apps mostly. And if so, it makes a good chance at becomming succesful. Zig seams to have a better type system. Additionally the quality of documentation for this project is pretty good. That is something the go ecosystem seems to be lacking in general. The rest of the go perks are there as well. Single binary etc.
I have an XS and wanted to upgrade. But I still don't see a super appealing reason. Battery still decent at 72%. Photos still good enough. browsing fast, apps fast...
It is the best iPhone I owned (3, 6s).
But yeah, spotlight is slow and the phone constantly runs out of storage, so apps need to be deleted before installing updates and least used apps are constantly removed. Additionally the screens are way better now and you do see the difference with photos made on an iPhone 16. I guess I'll upgrade late this year when I am sure the 17 (pro?) is a reliable piece of hardware, like my iPhone XS is.
