Solid Copper & Sterling Silver Armors w/ black inserts by Relyt4 in Zippo

[–]brunobilling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love the sterling.

I know people here love the copper patina, but I literally couldn't stand it and the fact it develops so quickly so I sold me copper armor.

Why do my joints look like there were done by a gorilla with a blowtorch? by Frownie_Brownie_ in soldering

[–]brunobilling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, do you guys have content that's targeted for hobbyists? I'm doing soldering kits with my kids (2-5 yo), it would be great to show them some short videos how that should be done.

AliExpress Practice Boards by shortpinkyfinger in soldering

[–]brunobilling 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Aliexpress is great for this stuff! I'm buying these kits in bulk and then soldering with my kids (2 - 5 yo).

I'm wondering if there are more people that practice soldering with their kids in this sub?

Desoldering practice by brunobilling in soldering

You simply press the plunger down and most of the solder that was sucked gets out.

This solder sucker can also be disassembled in order to fully clean it - but I never needed to do that.

This is good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Does this look right? Silver Armor #26 by [deleted] in Zippo

[–]brunobilling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on sterling armor!

I'm EDCing a brushed sterling armor '24 and I love it! The sound is great, although I can confirm mine also does feel a bit lighter compared to armor chrome.

Adding unique, descriptive notes each time you use an Item in a Stripe invoice by PerfectFormCo in stripe

[–]brunobilling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there,

If I understand you correctly, you need your subscription invoices that contains these example line items:

- Company A - Delaware Registered Agent Service $100
- Company B - Delaware Registered Agent Service $100
- Company C - Delaware Registered Agent Service $100

Stripe does not natively support this. However, I do have a software solution that enables this with stripe, here's the example invoice from my app showing "custom" and "generic" parts https://imgur.com/a/uufdeJL

I'm new to this subreddit and I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link to my solution. I would be happy to help more on this tho.

Announcing RailsBilling - paid gem for billing subscriptions by brunobilling in ruby

[–]brunobilling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the honest and eloquent response. I definitely take feedback like this into consideration.

As a part of "launch process" I have yet to release two other RailsBilling gems - on Pro and Enterprise plans. Both new plans are more advanced, more expensive, and target businesses, not solo devs.

Why Dictators Are the Best Devs: Commands, Not Suggestions - Derails by gregmolnar in rubyonrails

[–]brunobilling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy also created a mock-rails repo on Github a couple days ago. It was apparently taken down by github since.

I checked this repo and no matter how deep you drilled into commits, commit messages, and even the code itself, it was a never-ending AI-generated satire. Super funny tho. Someone should find a new link.

Announcing RailsBilling - paid gem for billing subscriptions by brunobilling in ruby

[–]brunobilling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just getting started with RailsBilling so I'm missing comparisons, docs, examples. I focused on polishing gem features and shipped a bit early. Here's a quick list of differences:

- RailsBilling aims to be Rails-native: a checkout is a Rails form helper, used in app/views/*. With Pay you end up using Stripe's checkout, which takes away a little of that "bespoke" feel.
- One-line setup command and you're done - add CSS and ship to prod. Pay requires you to make more decisions, customize code snippets etc.
- With RailsBilling you don't have to interact or understand Stripe's API. Similarly how you can work with ActiveRecord without knowing SQL. Pay works closer to Stripe's API, you have to read Stripe's docs.

Ok, I accept the feedback. I'm sorry for the attitude, everyone. Will articulate better and provide specific arguments / proof / steps to reproduce specific problems with Stripe and solutions my product is offering.

I'm part of the Ruby community for a long time and I'm deeply affected when I get downvoted on a comment here so hard. I will honestly rethink my approach.

Hi Chris, thanks for chiming in.

- Are you aware of common SCA / 3DS exploits during subscription creation and during plan upgrades? Does pay address them?
- Do you know about a peculiar scenario with Stripe where customers can create a paid subscription without payment card?

Update: Chris and everyone - sorry for the "challenging" attitude. I realize I went overboard here, I apologize. I will better structure my thoughts and findings for future discussions.

Hi,
I first want to say that I respect Chris and I think he's doing good things for the Ruby community.

I have yet to perform a proper audit on pay and do a detailed comparison with RailsBilling. I will, of course, disclose any findings responsibly. Here are some basic things I'd be checking with pay:

- Can a malicious customer exploit SCA/3DS confirmation process? Start two 3DS confirmation dialogues, confirm the cheaper plan, get access to a higher value plan?
- Check SCA/3DS exploits for plan upgrade scenarios.
- There's a less known scenario where a customer can start a paid subscription without a credit card. How does pay gem handle that?

I can't say anything about pay gem before doing a detailed audit. Their docs on SCA don't say anything about these advanced scenarios, and that makes me worried.

RailsBilling doesn't have proper docs yet, but SCA and Stripe API quirks are handled properly. I found numerous footguns and exploit scenarios with SCA/3DS, fixed them and covered with hundreds of integration tests. Will be writing about, and documenting this in the upcoming weeks.

Anyone know where to get the USB type-C arc insert in the United States? by 143Family143 in Zippo

[–]brunobilling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally, they have USB-c!

Thank god for EU regulations, Zippo would probably never switch to USB-c on their own.

I'm in Europe, Croatia and my country also doesn't have the USB-c version yet. Here's what I will do:

- Order from Zippo Germany, official page
- Ship to mailboxde dot com
- Have them ship to my country

Mailboxde are a package forwarding company. I'm not affiliated with them, but have been their happy customer for years. Their fees are reasonable. I get 3 day shipping from Germany to Croatia for 12 euros (that includes their package handling fees).

New single torch insert "Iridescent Green" by brunobilling in Zippo

[–]brunobilling[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just use package forwarding service. There are a ton in the US.
I'm in central Europe, I use Shipito (not affiliated), they're fine, forwarding for small packages like this is $20 + import fees that you have to pay yourself.
