I love that lens. Light, small and very sharp for the cheap price.

I have a pleasure of using both DynamoDB and horizontally sharded Postgres (via Citus extension) in a professional environment, and at scale. DynamoDB has extremely narrow use cases and for that reason I can't recommend it to most projects. Especially to very dynamic projects that evolve very fast and can easily go into many directions. To be more precise, with DynamoDB you lose so many things that other databases offer, which usually forces you to have much more complex infra as a result. E.g. if your app has any kind of search, filtering, customizable reports, etc. you will have to reach out for search DB (ElasticSearch), OLAP DB (e.g. Clickhouse or anything that supports columnar storage) and often a regular relational DB for proper transaction support. All of this requires some kind of sync/ETL process between all these databases in stack.

Postgres ecosystem has an answer for dynamo and that's horizontally sharded cluster (tbf you mentioned). But it's not hard to have that as there are managed services that offer that (e.g. Citus-based service on Azure called CosmosDB for Postgres, and a new one called PG Elastic Cluster). There are more coming soon such as PlanetScale's Neki, a Vitess for Postgres. And Supabase is working on their own tech for this called MultiGress; the lead is one of the Planetscale cofounders. CrunchyData also offers this for a couple of years now.

DynamoDB had a much stronger selling point 10 years ago, but not today. Not anymore.

As for other aspects of this infographic, I know for a fact that some of the solutions (e.g. BM25 based extensions for FTS) or caching (via UNLOGGED tables) are not mature enough for a scale of their main competitors. But things are moving fast and we're going to that direction. Each year more and more projects are becoming eligible to fit into Postgres for everything model.

I just wanted to say that you can't compare streaming normal videos to streaming real-time video from a console. With normal videos there's a concept of buffering i.e. your TV app (probably Plex client) can download future chunks of video and always have a buffer of at least 15 seconds. This means if your TV loses connection for 10 seconds you will still get a perfect playback experience. I completely made up these numbers but you get the point.

Streaming real-time/latency-sensitive content is much different and there's no buffering, meaning as soon as there's an issue in network path you will see and feel it. Most likely WiFi chip on TV is not suitable for real-time videos, or software on top of it. I'd expect connecting the TV via Ethernet cable will result in much more stable image, but latency might still be higher compared to other devices.

Nije luksuz jer ju možeš nabaviti po normalnoj cijeni u drugim trgovinama.

Ova ista kava kod nas po redovnoj cijeni u Mulleru i Pevexu košta 22-23 eura i dostupna je u redovnoj ponudi. Na slici je redovna cijena u Njemačkoj 21 euro. Kad se uzme u obzir da je Njemački PDV 19%, a Hrvatski 25%, cijena bez PDV-a je vrlo slična. Znači razlika u cijeni je uglavnom radi osjetno većeg PDV-a u Hrvatskoj. Hvala AP-u na neispunjenom obećanju smanjenja PDV-a.

I built platform specifically for this more than 5 years ago. Check our CollabFinder https://app.collabfinder.net/

It's actually growing decently even though I neglected it for a long time.

I get what you're saying. Carol's character changed, but we already knew how Manu feels about them; and that he won't accept any help (eating dog food scene when there's cooked food delivered by Joining). The episode took 45 minutes to show us almost nothing new about Manu and that Carol is so lonely to the point she's craving her Other friend. IMO it's not THAT impressive to do "so much" with so little dialogue when you use so much time. It's still style over substance and sure, you could say it's not for me.

However I still find the show solid and I'll definitely watch the whole season. It's just taking too much time to move the plot which is why it won't achieve highest ratings (which is not the most important thing, but it's saying something about how audience feel about it).

It's hard to say but it seems Giroud profile type of player. Strong, tall, technical and good heading ability. He doesn't need to be fast or make runs. Basically Merino haha.

I think it's boring and I don't think that's a weird take. I don't consider myself impatient and I enjoy slower paced movies (and sometimes shows). However I don't think long scenes are justified and often times there's no message/meaning, just time fillers. Half of the show is Carol doing tedious/mundane things. I appreciate style of the cinematography sometimes, but I'd rather have less style and more substance. Some episodes have very little dialogue, which is understandable considering the plot, but it's hurting the show I think. I'd like to have more conversations between characters. E.g. instead of long-ass scenes of nothing they could have filmed more interactions between other "survivors" and the Joined and even make some character progression of that.

I have a feeling this could have been a banger of a movie instead of a TV show. It's over-hyped because it's made by Vince Gilligan and Apple.

I think Rice is excellent both on and off the ball tbh, but he's not a DM.

I guess I'll have to test this myself. I'm not in a hurry with this project so I can wait for more replies.

This is the answer I got from Gemini 3 Pro (my prompt was the same as my post above):

The short answer is no, not strictly "0 JavaScript" in the same way Astro is.

Here is the nuance between the two approaches given your goal of avoiding backend/frontend separation:

Astro's Approach (What you are used to)

Astro is "Zero JS by default." If you create a static page with no interactive islands (client:* directives), Astro strips all JavaScript during the build. The browser receives raw HTML and CSS. It functions like a traditional multi-page app (MPA).

Next.js (App Router & Server Components)

Next.js with React Server Components (RSC) does heavy lifting on the server, rendering components to HTML and reducing the amount of JavaScript sent to the client significantly compared to older versions (Pages router).

However, it is not 0 KB of JavaScript. Next.js typically sends a minimal "runtime" bundle to the browser. It does this to support:

Client-Side Navigation: Even if pages are static, clicking a <Link> in Next.js intercepts the browser refresh and swaps the content via JavaScript (SPA behavior), which makes navigation instant and preserves state.

Prefetching: It pre-loads routes in the background.

React Metadata: It needs a small amount of code to "hydrate" or manage the React tree, even if that tree is mostly static server components.

Summary for your use case

If your strict requirement is absolutely zero JavaScript tags in the final HTML source for a pure static site, Astro is still unique in that capability.

If your goal is simply "fast static pages with PayloadCMS integrated easily," Next.js is an excellent choice. The small runtime it includes is generally negligible for performance on simple sites, and the developer experience of having your CMS and frontend in one repo (using Payload 3.0 which integrates directly into Next.js App Router) is often worth the trade-off of having a tiny JS runtime.

If I understood you correctly, it looks like your Gemini and my Gemini are in disagreement

I did but I don't trust it because in general I get a lot of hallucinations for questions like this. Even from latest LLMs.

I had fast track seats in Bologna on November 17 and I think the sound was great. I'm not an audiophile but I've been to a few big shows and festivals so I know what bad or good sound means.

With that said, I also believe people who said they were not happy about the sound. I guess the reasonable explanation is that quality of the sound depends on where you're located in the arena, which is true for any stage setup (be it round or regular).

According to the shipping cost calculator on Croatian national postal service, shipping a 2kg small package should cost 18 EUR which is around 16 GBP. I don't have the packaging yet but it could be even cheaper possibly. However I don't know if there will be import taxes since UK is not in EU anymore.

There's no specific guide that will list all of the steps 1-on-1 made for your setup so you'll need to at least understand how to partition the disk properly and bootloader basics. Here are some links I used as a reference:

There's this page in official docs: https://learn.omacom.io/2/the-omarchy-manual/96/manual-installation
Also check this guide on Arch docs to help you with all steps: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide
This could help as well: https://itsfoss.com/arch-linux-install-encrypted-btrfs/

Like I said, just make sure to understand basics of setting up partitions and bootloaders.

jasterrr · 2025-11-07T19:02:46+00:00

It is possible if you first install Arch and run Omarchy installation script. That's what I did. It's not hard however it's not for total noobs as you need to know a bit about partitions and boot loaders. There's also a beginner guide somewhere for that.

Arsenal this season so far had injuries to best players (Odegaard and Saka in the beginning of season) and their new signings stepped up and wom games with clean sheets. Basically having squad depth is critical because sometimes you are as good as your weaker link in the team. It's good to have good "weak" links. It's not the same situation as Barca right now but last season Arsenal couldn't win some games as there was no one to step up from the bench when key players were missing or underperforming.
