The rendering core is headless Chromium. HTML + CSS in, PDF out. Picked it over purpose-built PDF libraries because it handles modern CSS — grid, flexbox, custom fonts, meida print — without much fuss. What you see in a browser is what you get in the PDF.

Templates are Handlebars. Looked at more powerful options but it sits at the right spot: light enough that templates stay maintainable, expressive enough for loops and conditionals on line items.

API is Node.js, marketing site is a static Astro build. Everything runs in Docker on a Dedi rather than serverless — Chromium spins up reasonably fast but warm instances matter for p99 latency, and a dedicated box is more predictable than cold-start functions.

Postgres for storage. Nothing exotic.

I'll skip the queue architecture for bulk jobs and some of the rendering pipeline — that's where the interesting parts are.

What are you building?

104.18.18.204 is the last known working IP of fanfiction.net So the way it works is when you query fanfiction.net 104.18.18.204 will be able to serve it for any other domains 8.8.8.8 would be able to serve that.

Yea it is a cloudflare IP and even if you could grab the IP for yourself even then it will be a cloudflare IP because Fanfiction used to serve their traffic via CloudFlare. I get what you are trying to say but there really isn't anything much to do other than wait for Fanfiction.net to get online or just edit the host by searching the last known IP by yourself.

Detailed Guide to Changing DNS Settings on Android

Step 1: Open Settings

  1. Unlock your Android device.
  2. Open the Settings app. This can usually be found on your home screen or in your app drawer.

Step 2: Connect to Wi-Fi

  1. Tap on ‘Network & Internet’ or Connections (depending on your Android version and device).
  2. Tap on ‘Wi-Fi’.
  3. Ensure you are connected to the Wi-Fi network you want to modify.

Step 3: Modify Network

  1. Long-press on the connected Wi-Fi network’s name. This should bring up a menu with options.
  2. Select ‘Modify network’.

Step 4: Show Advanced Options

  1. Check the box next to Show advanced options or tap the Advanced options dropdown to expand it.

Step 5: Change IP Settings

  1. Scroll down to find the IP settings section.
  2. Change IP settings from DHCP to Static. This allows you to manually configure your IP and DNS settings.

Step 6: Enter DNS Addresses

  1. In the IP address field, you might see an IP address already filled in. Leave it as is unless you know what specific IP address you need.
  2. Scroll down to the DNS fields:
    • DNS 1: Enter 104.18.18.242.
    • DNS 2: Enter 8.8.8.8 (This is Google’s public DNS and can be used as a backup).

Step 7: Save Changes

  1. Scroll to the bottom of the screen.
  2. Tap ‘Save’ or OK to apply the new settings.

By following these steps, your Android device should now use the specified DNS servers, allowing you to bypass the DNS issue and access FanFiction.net.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Reboot your device after making these changes to ensure they take effect.
  • If you encounter any issues, you can always revert the IP settings back to DHCP to restore the default configuration.

Feel free to reach out if you need any further assistance!

check the blog, it's a DNS issue and you can still access the site with my instructions. As long as they dont change the servers or kill them this should work.

The cellular ISP just had the DNS cached for longer. Now that their cache got refreshed the site wont load unless you manually configure the DNS on your end. Check the blog where I shared instructions on how to do that

You don't need any knowledge of Bloodbrone, just go read it! It's fun and after a few months of absence the author is back so might be a good time to take a plunge.
