   Most people ditch GAFAM because they want to own their digital identity and not just trade one gatekeeper for another, even if it's "hassle free" to start off with.

   And with the setup of Happymail renting out individual email addresses under the same domain to different users, it makes it impossible for them to leave the platform. Have you considered letting people own their domains?

   S3's whole selling point is 11 9s of durability across the whole region which is probably why it's slow to begin with.

   This is a bad example. A good sysadmin should fact-check and do testing themselves instead of relying on what other people say.

    I hope this won't make YouTube pull the same stunt in the near future, at least for the smaller channels.

    I work for a government agency (not in the US). Working in private would have certainly made me more money but I really love the ample time off (4 extra weeks compared to a similar private-sector role) that we get which allows me to focus more on family and personal persuits. Additionally deadlines are pretty much non-existent as projects can drag on for years.

    I realise that this might not be a good environment for ambitious people, however it pays the bills and I get to do whatever I want with my time.

    > Our Swift server codebase has around 30,000 lines of code. It produces a binary of 60 MB, and builds in ten minutes.

    Sounds quite slow

    Going to leave this here for shady practices. A pull request was declined by the CEO since they were planning to build an OIDC feature into the enterprise plan.

    > Problem is, I didn't feel like paying 9$ a month to see the amount of visitors on a website i didn't even earn anything on

    You can self-host Plausible yourself if you don't feel like paying $9 a month.

    wouldn't be surprised if YouTube suddenly decided to charge for storage

    I think this was the premise of the original World Wide Web (minus the cryptographic part) before everything was centralised. Essentially people would have their own personal web pages and readers subscribe via RSS.
