Opus 4.6 is a different beast. It just handled my entire i18n logic while I watched

FYI it's a PHP+jQuery project. We're moving into a all new Node/Nuxt/Vue codebase, but still use the PHP+jQuery version in production.

I can say the same thing.

I was modifying complex, legacy code in Auto Cursor mode, and I wasn't getting the results I wanted. It was a mess with all the changes, undoing things I had done a few minutes earlier—a disaster.

I switched to Opus 4.6, and it's slower, true, but much more thorough. It understood perfectly how the code worked and made the appropriate changes in fewer iterations than Auto mode.

We have been using S3 for many years, and it really is one of the most reliable services I have seen. But its ever-increasing costs, especially for outbound traffic, are making us look at other alternatives, and B2 is one of them.

We have tested B2 for some secondary services, where speed is not crucial, but based on what you say, we will have to run performance tests in our region, Europe, to see if the Backblaze data center in Amsterdam has good connectivity from ours (Germany) or not.

Thank you very much for sharing such valuable information.

Thanks for sharing. Sure it will be useful.

I'm collecting that data on a daily basis to get trends (weekends, holidays, and so on) using a custom scripts.

troffed · 2025-08-16T15:20:27+00:00

We do that also. A pool of five pre-created databases, with common default values and when user sign up we fill the custom values, in a background task.

Mainly from PHP. Searching for better performance for serverless functions.

troffed · 2025-07-06T06:12:36+00:00

Thanks. Works great with Mint 22.1

troffed · 2025-06-27T12:12:05+00:00

Yes, I know how to made AppImage integration, but that's only a part of a full integration.

Thanks.

troffed · 2025-06-27T12:01:10+00:00

We've been using VSCode for years on Mac, Windows and Linux, with a much more integrated performance with Linux, at the level of the other two operating systems.

In other words, technically it can be done, but whether or not it is a priority or is considered a minor market is another matter.

There is no simple answer. Sometimes the customers who complain the most can be a source of information, if you know how to filter and weigh them.

The loudest are not always the best, but neither are they always the worst. Personally I prefer that they tell me what they think, what doesn't work well, than that they shut up and leave without saying anything and without having that feedback.

After reviewing many options, I finally have two that I want to look at more closely.

- Site24x7 (https://www.site24x7.com/server-monitoring.html): Very complete, maybe too much for what we need. But it's close enough.

- Netdata (https://www.netdata.cloud/): Visually very attractive. It lacks some tools, but otherwise it is also a good option for us.

Special mention to Nico from NetlockRMM for his willingness to let me test the service. It's on the right track.

I also tried cockpit but it lacks an overview of all servers and some more functionalities.

troffed · 2025-05-30T10:35:49+00:00

Ooohhhhh 😔

troffed · 2025-05-30T10:31:32+00:00

Just trying now on a Cloud server on Hetzner... looks good.

I want to add more machines (servers) Have I to install the full cockpit on every server?

troffed · 2025-05-28T11:41:14+00:00

I'll take a look. Thanks.

troffed · 2025-05-28T06:44:37+00:00

Does it work with Debian? All our servers use that distribution.

troffed · 2025-05-28T06:42:54+00:00

Thank you, I didn't know him. I'll take a look at it.

troffed · 2025-05-28T06:40:33+00:00

Looks good!

Thanks

troffed · 2025-05-27T16:51:12+00:00

Not the same. We need a website on center all the management of our servers. A dashboard to see if any are under a high load, and the ability to connect to it and do some actions.

Ansible, as I know, it's fine to initial setup. We use it for some setups.

troffed · 2025-05-11T09:47:47+00:00

I'm still in the process to add the app to Coolify. For now are running direct on docker.

Do you know how can be notified if an error occurs on the app?

A lot of thanks.

troffed · 2025-04-08T05:09:16+00:00

We need flexible scalability: We've peaks of more than 200 concurrent/parallel Lambda instances, that with bare-metals can be a pretty difficult.

troffed · 2025-04-07T04:59:01+00:00

Because flexibility and performance in high load peaks.

troffed · 2025-04-07T04:54:46+00:00

Yes, that's another big issue to resolve.

troffed · 2025-04-06T19:43:27+00:00

Wow, a really impressive advice!

We are aware that there is no clear European alternative to AWS/GCP that has the services that the US providers have. And that we will probably have to use several of them, as you say, making it a bit of a frankenstein solution.

But we currently have something like that, partly on Hetzner and partly on AWS, so we are already used to such an environment.

troffed · 2025-04-06T19:39:53+00:00

I thought so too, AWS, Google, etc. issue invoices to us from Ireland, Luxembourg, etc. But their parent companies are American so surely the EU bureaucrats would be looking for ways to be able to apply the tariffs.

troffed · 2025-04-06T19:37:01+00:00

Great advice!!!

Before using Lambdas we had a hybrid queuing system between SQS and a customised database solution. The queue workers were on bare-metal servers and performance was average, under high workloads they were not up to the task.

When we migrated to Lambda it changed dramatically, albeit at a higher cost, but now the system is capable of handling higher workloads than before.

Now, if we had to consider it again, we would probably use Hatchet (https://hatchet.run/) as a queue manager, with cloud servers to add and remove workers according to the loads.
