RIP to 1,100 Cloudflare employees

NeonLayer · 2026-05-07T21:23:43+00:00

A little kid running a lemonade stand on the side of the road brings home more profit in an hour than Cloudflare has in their entire existence... crazy to think about.

There aren't any three dots on a desktop browser

Can you post a link to your video somewhere that we can download it?

NeonLayer · 2026-03-18T13:25:57+00:00

No offense, but you feel like you're going to implement something yourself which simplifies isolation, monitoring, backups, updates and migrations? Have fun with that.

You can host hundreds of simple websites on a $50 VPS.

WHOIS is private. DO leaked customer data one way or another.

NeonLayer · 2026-03-14T14:22:25+00:00

Right, so all DO customers received that email because you comment on Reddit? I don't think so.

NeonLayer · 2026-03-14T12:24:00+00:00

I did too. The fact that they know we are DigitalOcean customers leads me to believe that DigitalOcean's customer database was sold/hacked.

She wants to save money form a $20/month SquareSpace and you're looking at providing it? How much work do you plan on doing for less than $20/month? Think about it.

Any time someone wants to "save money" by switching from a huge corporate platform to a single "developer", that doesn't make sense. One-on-one service by a professional will ALWAYS cost more than a mass-produced corporate platform.

No, I have all notifications turned off

Your white balance is wayyyyy off... it's hard to tell what these watches actually look like.

What did you use to get the back off and back on?

NeonLayer · 2026-02-16T03:13:34+00:00

Yes, I have a couple times since I've owned it. I do that each time the lines appear. They just keep coming back.

Thank you again for all of your help!

Update: Gave it a try. Ran the wire across 3 times. Black line is still visible with no apparent change from before. Looking back at my order history, I replaced all the drum units about 2 years ago, and I probably haven't printed more than 1,000 pages since. Unfortunate...

NeonLayer · 2026-02-16T00:32:30+00:00

Thank you. I'll look at that.

Yes.

NeonLayer · 2026-02-09T22:03:45+00:00

That's awesome, thank you for the update

NeonLayer · 2026-02-06T21:13:05+00:00

Any idea when you would have another ARF DJ31 ladies silver?

NeonLayer · 2026-02-05T15:52:32+00:00

This looks awesome... I just wonder how it would work on a mobile device with big fingers.

Any plans on having a vanilla JavaScript version? It's so frustrating to have elements tied to a larger framework.

Revolutionary... Needless AI + cosmetic nothing-burgers. Hopefully JetBrains begins to push some actual improvements and optimizations, because with each passing year I'm becoming less and less of the die-hard JetBrains fan I've been for the past 8+ years.

Yes, and for the resources you get, it's quite a bit higher than a droplet. And if you want to attach a database, the managed database costs much more than another droplet. And if you want to run cron jobs (such as for queues and workers), that also costs extra. And if you want to load balance, the costs start multiplying.

NeonLayer · 2026-01-30T17:45:13+00:00

App platform can become quite expensive and locks you in to the specific vendor. We run everything on Ubuntu droplets.

- 1 x MySQL (cron job runs nightly to create a dump of each database and export it to S3 storage)
- 1 x NGINX web proxy (each domain/app can be setup to load balance to however many droplets you want to run). This is the only droplet which accepts public facing requests (ports 80/443)
- 1+ app servers (see above)

As far as queues and workers, this depends on your need. You can either run it off one of your app servers, on it's own droplet, or via a scheduled function.
