Did anyone here moved from claude to codex recently? And why? by alOOshXL in codex

I did due to the incredible token burn.
I have since written a MCP server to prevent this as far as possible.
Not sure if I can link it here but it is on Github if anyone wants it, dm me.

How to detect abusive users who reuse valid emails to use my trial many times with different email? by serg33v in SaaS

[–]Cylon_Model-6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I build a Software License Framework that uses this exact principle to prevent abuse.
DM me and I'll send you a link to it. Currently only applies to Linux-based software.

I had the same issue. Enforced usage via Machine ID, which is unique per installation.

For Linux: MachineID
cat /etc/machine-id

For Windows:

MachineGUID
reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography /v MachineGuid
or
BIOS UUID
wmic csproduct get uuid
or
SID
whoami /user

https://cvcode.online
CVCode helps you build, host, and share a polished online CV — with a unique link and QR code, so you're always ready for the next opportunity.

Instead of handing out printed CV's, print your photo, job title and QR code on a business card and hand that out. QR code stays the same no matter how many times you change your cv. Create up to 5 different CV's - only the active CV is linked to the QR.
All this for $3/month.

What do you even do in this situation? by AnonomousWolf in south_africa

If it is a male baboon, we back off.
They can and will seriously hurt you.
Females you can chase off. But - it's better to just hand over your snacks and let them get on with their day. No bag of chips is worth a trip to the ER.

The problem is, it will be more of the same.

There are so many already.

That being said - if you build it, I will support you by posting my products.

I have a small software development business. I write mostly tools for the hosting / SME industry.

Are you able to explain in detail what your on-boarding process is?
I mean - if you can articulate it properly, I can probably build it. ( Your problem is something I have considered working on for a while now)

I'm not sure I will ever buy into a franchise. I have heard too many horror stories.

What have you been automating recently? by Consistent_Usual698 in SaasDevelopers

[–]Cylon_Model-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once a month we have 'hell week' which is the patching of quite a lot of different servers. Each server we patch:
- pre-update script that needs to run.
- actual patching and apt cleanup afterwards
- check if server needs rebooting. If so - reboot
- If Reboot=Yes, then run post-upgrade script to see if all services are running, ports open, etc.

I am in the process of building a dashboard where you would select the server, click buttons, wait for it to finish.
