> TL;DR my motivation and experience for moving my blog from Cloudflare to bunny.net

In my experience the TLDR generally gives the motivation/experience in brief. This feels more like a subtitle.

> The cards observe it is Friday. They have not forgotten the Great Friday Deploy of 2021. They have not forgiven it either.

It's... it's Thursday.

Has anyone got the hang of Thursdays yet?

have you tried salt and muscle relaxants?

Oh! My tarot table is in Europe. Will fix

Got the same, maybe it's looking at UTC time?

Heh, server time as opposed to client time at least.

i would hold off on that deployment anyway, just in case

Not in Australia!

Should be fixed

That's not actually true: cell phone rx/tx power is quite low. We can get away with that because all they need to do is get to the nearest tower, which has a ton of power, sensitive antennas, and is very tall. Amateur radios have far more power available to them, but any "p2p" (i.e. simplex in amateur radio) runs into normal RF issues, like obstacles and interference. If you used the existing radios in cell phones to communicate directly with other cell phones, you wouldn't get very far. Even amateur radios, with all their power, use repeaters to the same effect as cell towers.

Sorry by power I meant in terms of capability not like, wattage

Thanks Ben, I wasn't aware of that.

Why? That's kind of the whole point of this: they can cooperate entirely and give them everything they have. You think they'll get into legal trouble because they aren't gathering data?

You ever heard of the phrase “show me the man and I’ll show you the crime”? These guys are gonna discover what that means really quickly.

There are a number of companies/products that operate under this principle (mullvad and signal come to mind). Are you saying all of those are futile and misleading? Or are you saying that you expect they all have significant money and legal teams to defend against a crooked cop's thirst for vengeance for not responding the way they wanted during an investigation?

I’m saying it’s only a matter of time before they get Pavel Durov’ed.

Self-hosted gitlab here. Love it, and gitlab CI is excellent as well. Almost all product development revolves around some crappy AI integration that we don't use, and it worries me to see so much focus there instead of the core product, but the core product is still excellent.

> [It] runs a heavily stripped-down version of Linux that lacks systemd and apt. And these are just a few of the issues.

You mean it's not Debian-based? How is this an issue?

Loved this as a kid. But as a parent, even putting it in the garage is just too much noise for my household, haha!

Pretty sure Immich is on github, so I assume they have a workflow for it, but in case you're interested in this concept in general, gitlab has first-class support for this which I've been using for years: https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/review_apps/ . Very cool and handy stuff.

Wow, my worlds are colliding right now-- although seeing Benn on HN in retrospect shouldn't be that surprising. Go check out his music, The Flashbulb, he's one of my favorite artists.
