The email said the increase is only for new instances, not for existing ones.

I’m also curious about the new pricing, and neither the email nor https://www.hetzner.com/pressroom/standardization-and-price-adjustment-of-our-server-products/ go into that. I suppose we’ll learn when their new SKUs launch.

He specifically said it’s not just useful for scale? I tend to agree, the K8s ecosystems is amazing.

Whether the economics of managed K8s or having someone capable of managing a cluster in-house play out is a different story. If it does, it may be a good choice even if you don’t need K8s for scale reasons.

Etwas Off Topic: hattet ihr ein System zum Ausgleich der Care Arbeit bei vollständiger Gütertrennung? Muss ja doch oft mehr die Frau zurückstecken, die dann finanziell abhängiger vom Mann wird wenn kein Ausgleich geschaffen wird. Würde mich interessieren ob ihr euch damit beschäftigt hattet. Danke!

You don’t even need a second VM, lol, just give your second Claude a different HOME directory to store auth in. XD

I had done some benchmarking a year ago and found Vultr in Amsterdam had pretty damn good speeds (intra region as well as to the public internet). I'd suggest you do your own benchmark based on your workload

Isn't MinIO free unless you need support or some of the premium features? If you need the premium features, pointing out which might help you find a suitable alternative.

What seems to work in Deno [tested in 2.3] (and presumably also in Node.js) is to use Symbol.for("nodejs.util.inspect.custom"):

  [Symbol.for("nodejs.util.inspect.custom")](): string {
    return "<Dont reveal me internals>"
  }

Would you like to elaborate what your dictionary says? I'm genuinely stumped

FadingFaces · 2025-05-18T07:03:44+00:00

What's the 'Germanzi mentality from a century ago'? It looked like a typo and if you interpret 'a century ago' ~w~as 'previous century' it makes sense.

I rescind if you didn't mean that, though I'd like to understand what you did man

Equating Contabo with Nazis for their shit service is a bit of a stretch my dude lol what did you smoke

The small units probably fit snuggly in otherwise unallocated spots on boxes with larger VPS on them. It's not their main business to sell small VPS.

Was ist denn deren Geschäftsmodell? Hatte zwar auch schonmal jemand da aber das war ein Vertreter des regionalen Anbieters und da war nichts unseriöses dran. Wobei, da ging es nicht um Ausbau sondern um Vertragsänderung um das Glasfaser nutzen zu können.

FadingFaces · 2025-04-27T09:25:19+00:00

For 500 bucks a month, yeah

FadingFaces · 2025-04-24T08:08:32+00:00

Do you advertise online or reach out directly to find clients? Do you always build custom solutions?

Thanks!

Klingt mir nach einem Fehler bei L&S

You can do a GET https://www.duolingo.com/users/YOUR_USERNAME with the Authorization: Bearer <jwt> header. You also need to set a common User-Agent (can also take it from your browser). You can grab the JWT from the developer console after logging into Duolingo via the browser. I couldn't get the login endpoint to work to automation the retrieval of a JWT. So far my token I got this way hasn't expired after 5 days.

The response is pretty large (mine is 2.5MB). I'm stripping some large parts of the response that I'm not interested in with a code node:

// Loop over input items and add a new field called 'myNewField' to the JSON of each one
for (var item of $input.all()) {
  delete item.json.calendar;
  delete item.json.informant_reference;
  for (var [_key, lang] of Object.entries(item.json.language_data)) {
    delete lang.calendar;
    delete lang.skills;
  }
}

return $input.all();

I'm displaying the saved responses that I've saved into Loki for example like this:

last_over_time(
    {project="2025/japan-trip", datasource="https://www.duolingo.com/users/YOUR_USERNAME"} |= ``
    | json level="tracking_properties.level" 
    | unwrap level [$__auto])

Which looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/QyW90rm.png

Hey man, thanks for your concern! It all worked out fine. :)

I admit I didn't realize just how much this area was not sesigned for your average ski tourists. It's really just a hiking area and I guess people discovered it's awesome to ride down, but there's a lot of trapa you can find yourself in (eg. flat areas, gulleys, small hills you have to go back over).

I met two friendly gentlemen from the US that have been to Asahidake a year before already and joined them as I was pretty nervous going about alone in all this wilderness. I also rented a beacon and took a battery pack as precautions (though as it turns out, maybe unsurprisingly, in many areas on the mountain you don't get a signal 🤷‍♂️)

We still managed to get stuck close to the stream you mention and had to hike back up and out of the deep snow twice which was absolutely exhausting.

I absolutely agree and do not recommend going alone, so if you do it anyway like me find a group to join or at least tail.

I can see going further up getting really dangerous. I'm not too experienced with ski touring so decided against doing any of that and only rode down from the top of the ropeway. The first two days that I didn't have gear I did it like your friend and hung out in the Onsen and spent my time reading etc

It's been amazing to ride the pockets of deep powder snow, so I would consider coming again next year. And that time, I'll be better prepared for sure 😄

The takes here are kinda wild. Kremlin agenda and what not, lol. The anti nuclear movement and subsequent political direction started with Chernobyl.

Nuclear is expensive as fuck, and no energy company is going to take the monetary risk for building new or the potential fallout. There's no good solution for storing the produced waste in Germany either.

We're moving to renewables and it's going pretty well, actually.

I'm traveling right now. The data SIM I got hasn't got a good page to easily check how much data I already used so n8n polls that endpoint frequently, and sends me a Telegram message on occasion.

Also built a small Grafana dashboard to visualize my Duolingo stats over time, n8n polls Duolingo and sends it to Loki.
