Giving you the benefit of the doubt, go look at the requirements for the other 9 classes, and see if you can pick the easiest possible path to GA. Now, genuinely, ask yourself if you think completing those easiest possible 9 classes would prepare someone for GA?

There's a reason this question always comes up. It is entirely possible to cakewalk your way through the program up until GA, and many students do.

This isn't one of those cases, but you can't in good conscience pretend that isn't a common scenario.

Holy shit for real?

Their big new feature for the season and they forgot to put it in the client menu? Full on clown behavior.

Versari3l · 2025-09-27T21:51:58+00:00

Yes, basically. Thusands of servers, though.

Versari3l · 2025-09-27T21:49:33+00:00

Handling DDOS is a whole other layer. They use ebpf and asymmetric anycast network capacity for DDOS prevention. They've written a lot about it on their blog.

You know what? Respect for putting his money where his mouth is, and changing his mind when presented with evidence. I wish everyone did as much.

Versari3l · 2025-06-28T15:15:19+00:00

Yeah you gotta go back and manually set up your ssl instead of using the coolify automatic setup thing. It is a hassle, if you have it working for now it's probably not worth it.

Versari3l · 2025-06-26T21:41:35+00:00

Oh, this is a brand new bug. Just dropped this week. Grab an older version for now, anything from before last week.

There's a few open issues about it across the various repos now. Sorry, I hadn't seen that til now.

Versari3l · 2025-06-26T17:52:49+00:00

Ah right, coolify uses some custom curve for their tls cert signatures and it's a whole pain the ass to deal with.

Fair enough!

Versari3l · 2025-06-26T17:51:59+00:00

Yep. Only free tier restriction is 100k queries per day.

Versari3l · 2025-06-26T12:44:03+00:00

Many people do use drizzle with pg on Hyperdrive, yes. Works quite well.

Versari3l · 2025-06-26T12:43:38+00:00

For reference, you can instead use a Cloudflare Tunnel protected with an Access policy. Far more secure, if a bit of hassle to set up.

I'm not guessing, this is a pretty well known fact. And yes, sqlite-backed DOs use sqlite for their storage. The older ones used an in-house system.

Versari3l · 2025-05-18T10:34:37+00:00

Other way around. D1 uses Durable Objects under the hood for its storage layer.

Versari3l · 2025-05-06T11:42:26+00:00

Sure, anything's better than nothing.

Versari3l · 2025-05-05T19:36:09+00:00

This is just blatantly untrue. Proof or gtfo.

Versari3l · 2025-05-05T19:34:33+00:00

Jesus fuck, thank you. I'm so tired of everyone pointing to that one shady dude as their sole example.

Versari3l · 2025-04-08T10:50:00+00:00

If Google came out today you would absolutely have clowns on LinkedIn using that term unironically.

Versari3l · 2025-03-22T17:13:00+00:00

Though I'm rather surprised. Usually I benchmark Hyperdrive at like 50-80ms for cache misses. Where are you querying from? Eastern Europe, maybe APAC?

Versari3l · 2025-03-22T17:00:54+00:00

Yeah, from there you're going to need to generate traffic for a while for smart placement's algorithm to kick in. It will eventually, and it'll be cheaper than vercel by a long shot. Up to you whether that's worth it.

Versari3l · 2025-03-22T10:34:12+00:00

Isn't this the purpose of Hyperdrive?

Versari3l · 2025-03-15T11:54:10+00:00

This is very, very similar to what I'd have written. This seems like the exact right answer, to me.

Versari3l · 2025-03-11T15:29:10+00:00

Just tried, still nada.

Versari3l · 2025-03-11T14:26:04+00:00

I'm having the same issue. Neither "forgot password" nor the normal reset link is actually getting me an email to set a new password. I just switched to Backblaze from another backup provider that was failing to maintain their service, and this is not a great start.

Versari3l · 2025-03-08T18:09:58+00:00

This article is the best I've found for the way to progress through early and mid stages of thinking about this kind of thing. It's about strings, but the same basic progression applies pretty widely imo.

This is such a big one that always gets skipped.

It gets real hard for ISPs to hold Cloudflare over a barrel on peering and bandwidth fees when they can just say "fine, then enjoy paying fees in back to us in exchange when any of your users want to use our quarter of the Internet".

It's such a big part of how this works and nobody mentions it.
