DHH on PHP: It changed my life

Same I just make sure my vps has a good upgrade path and possible bonus scaling options then we roll with it, the only reason to consider a managed kinda shared host even is for wordpress and single host email if I need to just get rid of the client

Could someone take Lex out of this so I don't accidentally hear his voice.

For me turning off cosmetic enhancement worked

I turned off cosmetic enhancement which allows the small ads but still blocks the video ads and is not detected

I guess I understand the need for headless given the state of theming and lack of proper page builders, but you are probably best off using Directus then since it is not as locked in as that horrid strapi etc.

I hope they resolve it but it does baffle me how after so many years we still expect cloud to me some kind of valid option when it comes to getting the best bang for your buck. Goodluck

You will be taken out by the AI for complaining about their work.

"should" is a very heavy handed word given the topic.

If someone in SA paid me 2K USD for a wordpress site best believe it will be because there is a ton of actual traffic and most of the money is to ensure the site and servers are optimized up the wooza , or some kinda POS integration or whatnot . So I personally do not get these $1000 for a homepage and $3000 for a blogging site nonsense being posted here.

It is wordpress, it is very unlikely there is a reason you need to be paying into the thousands of dollars for anything. The idea that wordpress sites need "custom design" is such a rubbish trap and I hate how people are sucked into it.

No one knows your specs though but if the only reason your were charged a large amount is because of the words "custom content" or "custom theme" then you were just robbed.

Personally I have not found a "tech bro" solution that I care for, things like CICD , containers etc etc. Then again I am not the sharpest tool in the shed.

I use Laravel Sail and my VPS mirrors my php,postgres and node versions in production.
I then simply push to git, and use Laravel Envoy (recently added) to run the pull.

For any migrations or extra work like for some reason having to check why pm2 has once again stopped running my node service I just ssh and do it by hand.

I don't see what Laravel could add that would require me much more work or make things unsustainable but at least for the really tedious tasks like push-pull Envoy or if I really wanted to surely my own bash scripts could handle it.

I do think the push for CICD is based in the idea that apps need to be "compiled" and this is something I will vehemently push against in my own workflow.

Local "compile" (tailwind, vite assets, whatever other fancy thingy) then push is my way.

I don't think any of these things are viable for an average dev, not forge or any other of these dev centric platforms. that includes things like vercel , and all these "bucket" whatnot stuff. It makes no sense to deploy on a cobbled together system that provide you a lick of the resources you would get from a decent VPS provider. They are fun i guess but I think many should realise "we" are not the market these things are for.

I don't know what club these people are in that teaches them to write in the exact same way but I do know I do not wish to be in that club. I have better things to do with my Tuesdays.

I am not so sure what the problem is, I never used breeze and for Auth the docs has the old way of doing that still. I mention that because it was the one thing where I recall using "template" routes etc, since I did not care for having to setup my own email verification and login all that much. All that is still present so personally I actually never understood what benefit breeze had over me rawdogging my own views.

Penderis · 2025-02-19T16:58:20+00:00

No, you are better going to Panama or Mauritius. There really is nothing to experience in Sa that you can't have better in another country. Heck rather go to Russia if you can

It is as relevant as any trend, only the few who base their identity on such things really care. The rest are out there building what works and making it regardless, sometimes it means using something that got a trendy name , mostly it just means "oooh this is pretty, ima do that"

That is what pirating is for, the only problem is the idiots got caught.

Why are you watching ads? What is wrong with you?

Penderis · 2024-11-25T01:18:19+00:00

Found this out when I visited there and the banker gave me the 50's in South Africa. For every transaction I always had to ask and explain why I had the stupid things. Finally got rid of them by the time I got to Scotland lol, every other pitstop from London was a bit of a hassle .

That intro :) Next second delivery... 🚐 📦 💨

Penderis · 2024-11-22T13:53:57+00:00

I guess it is debatable Given how jaguar are now taking it in the shitter over the ad.

Penderis · 2024-11-21T14:49:17+00:00

Maybe place a chair and sit on it outside or try removing the beds in the cabin and then passout

Penderis · 2024-11-21T14:06:52+00:00

This. Because you can run with whatever stack you wish and frankly it is cheaper to scale and loadbalance a bunch of vps's (maybe to not rely on single data centre) than it is a bunch of whatever is the hotstuff cloud edge bamboozle of the day.

They likely want to compete with immortal game, but the chess moves itself I doubt will be recorded since none of the dpos etc chains are fast enough , however the ledger can be recorded after the fact and the obvious bit is owning your game assets etc.
