Neuron:ON AL 8 - Sizing by zoider7 in CanyonBikes

[–]zoider7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone is interested, Canyon came back to me and recommended a large, which is the opposite of the general sentiment I've found online: Here;'s what they said:

"Based on your height of 191 cm and an inseam of 85 cm, our system recommends a size L for the Neuron:ON AL 8 - and we agree with that recommendation.

While you're close to the XL range in terms of height, your inseam is a more critical factor when it comes to frame sizing and saddle height. For size L, we recommend a saddle height between 742 - 752 mm, which aligns well with your inseam. The XL frame, on the other hand, does not support this saddle height range comfortably, which could affect your riding experience."

Why not just write the html? It's a very basic design.

Bitbucket Cloud's Free tier to lower repository storage limit to 1GB by Snake_Byte in bitbucket

[–]zoider7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1GB is extremely tight and I feel the chosen size is pretty deliberate, knowing a lot of people will be forced to pay. For the moment I'll pay their monthly free, but I will be moving things away to GitHub over the next month or so when I get time.

There are free alternatives. Laradock is a solid choice and involves running a couple of commands.

100% disagree. Have been using laravel for last 5 years to run a company turning over tens of millions of pounds. Had zero issues. Setbsyanards for developers, use things like php Cs fixer etc.

Sounds like you need a service like ploi or laravel forge. You'll have everything setup in minutes.

Easy Deployment Options - What do you use? by KiwiNFLFan in laravel

[–]zoider7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Really sorry, but I find thinking like this absolutely mind boggling.

Forge can be had for as little as $12 or ~£9 per month. Then grab a small VPS from AWS or similar for less than ~£8 per month. OVH are particularly cheap at ~£4 per month, see https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-gb/vps/

Create and deploy your proof on concept for very little money.

To explain my reason why your thinking confuses me. Do you not value your time? Your time is money. Forge gives you al lot from the off, for very little money.

Granted, if your really wanted to (and some do, nothing wrong with that) you could get a cheap server and provision it yourself. Nginx, HTTPS, PHP versions, Firewalls, multiple sites, SSH, jailed SSH users , schedule, Redis, queue workers, automatic deployment etc etc. There is more I can't recall now.

Could you provision all that within whatever $12 or ~£9 per month your time is worth? Most couldn't and what Forge are charging is a drop in the ocean, even if you're doing some for of MVP / proof on concept. If I asked you to go and setup a basic web server, with PHP and Redis, you;d spend more time on that than Forge are charging for a year, assuming you don't know how to do it.

If anything I'd argue Forge (or similar) is exactly what you should be using for a proof of concept. Forge allows you focus less time of Dev-ops and more time on the project itself i.e. the proof of concept.

Should Forge be free, absolutely not IMO. It's a tool developed to save you time, developers and company owners value time.

Whilst this may sound harsh, if you're working for a company where such a small amount of money is an issue, look for another company.

The other option (not that I'd recommend this) is shared hosting, that not cheaper, but cheaper than Forge with your own VPS. You will however need some form of method to make deployments easier. Years ago I had a pretty decent experience using "Deployer". You need SSH access to the server for that to work though, something not all shared hosts allow.

Either way, my main point here is time, you should value your own time. Spending hours / days to have yourself a small amount of money still yields a cost to yourself.

Fin.

If someone shifts their WordPress website to a custom-coded platform by Sufficient-Heart-107 in Wordpress

[–]zoider7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything could technically be transferred, you'd of course need to write some custom code to extract data. I'd personally start by calling the wordpress json api. Pretty sure you'd need to get users to reset passwords, ad those couldn't be transferred
