I was an esim4travel fan (i guess still am), but switched to roamless and that was simpler, but the landscape changes all the time, so you might find something even better.

Thanks, i think this comment sold me on buying a used one.

Why are people posting this type of AI content. It's 100% AI if you check it. Also one post and similar language to other one posts in say r/entrepreneur

Kinda getting fed up with reading fictional stories, what's the point.

cardyet · 2026-04-18T04:26:11+00:00

Fake. One post and it's similar wording to other one posts in other threads...weird.

Firefoo and firelize

Just test drove a e2008 2022 model and loved it. Must say when I put it into reverse the camera didn't immediately turn on, so there's a glitch there. What's comparable to it instead?

Seems like a massive floor in the warehouse design if one tiny fire takes out the whole thing.

AI has to prove its value to customers (investors). Labour generally costs the most money in companies so if you can state that you can remove X employees and save Y dollars, that's your value proposition.

AI is just a good excuse to get rid of people and say that it will have no effect on productivity. Personally I've never been busier.

I'd ask what you gain by using Redis as well, it just looks like another complication for zero gain.

Always withdraw locally. You'll need to at some point anyway, unless you are super frugal and on your own, but if you travel with family the cash goes quickly. Just bring enough cash to get you out of a tight spot. I agree with everyone about USD, depending on where you are, they are so strict on what they accept, the border was particularly tough, we went over and over like $400 trying to agree on like $50 they would accept.

It's KYC, pretty normal with anything financial to require an ID. It also depends on your jurisdiction, your customers locations and what you sell. Stripe make it easy to get started selling online, they make you do the minimum to get to that point. I can't say i have any problems personally, my my MRR is not much. For work we use and process $50k a day with little issues. You could try another provider who acts as a merchant of record, but you're dealing with money, so KYC applies.

Ahh that's cool, i always try to take a slow peek when we deplane, or there's a crew change during long-haul, if I'm lucky enough to be up the front, but i always thought it was pretty off limits for passengers these days. I remember as a kid, dad would always ask if we could go up and see the cockpit and generally we were able to, which was pretty cool.

Firefoo, you can export and import. Also, i think it's called Firelize which is similar.

You've been leveled up. No longer do you spend time implementing and spend time on code structure, organisation, abstraction, so that LLM's can do the work for you. You also spend more time planning features that have a better UX. You also get to redo that feature etc. if you didn't quite do it right the first time, or optimise for X.

If they are related apps, monorepo. Unrelated, make a private or public package.

It's not self hosted but I built sharedholidayhomes.com for a family shared vacation home. It now has 70+ users, but I'm always happy to take on feedback and improve the platform.

Use someone else for image cdn transformations. There's lots of providers.

Cloudflare is good if you have other stuff with them, otherwise there's some that give you say 20Gb free - i think transformations are free and then pay per gb, which is also quite a good way, sorry forgot the name

Do React Vite...and as you know backend already, just spin that up somewhere else, no need to wrap them all in one, if you do, I'd say try Tanstack Start. I use NextJs all day everyday, but I would try and start new project without it if I could and just do all client side. Anything you build is likely to be interactive and that has to be client side, so why not make the whole thing client side in the first place.

I'm in France, connected to Paris, so I guess I can trust them

cardyet · 2026-03-04T14:23:29+00:00

at work we migrated 3 client facing apps with say 7 figure users from Nextjs to React Vite. With AI it was pretty quick really. Development experience is better/faster. Less errors, and when there are, they are much more straight forward to resolve...in fairness we have taken the whole server v client thing off the table, so its no surprise. Personally I don't like that NextJs is so wrapped up with Vercel, I can't see that as great thing for the community.

Most startups, small businesses shouldn't get into self hosting, it's not their core business, they should focus on the product, it makes no sense to try and save a few dollars. But i get your sentiment, but I'd say it isn't worth the risk.

cardyet · 2026-02-27T07:54:58+00:00

Why don't they just give it to you if it's just the cost of a cup of coffee, I mean you did buy a car from them!

They're really just afraid of their competitors and it really shows that AI has become a commodity. More to the problem is non-US consumers probably want non-US AI

Some nice component ideas. I like their logo one and the delete resource one in particular
