Why can't I see this comment when viewing the original article?


Do you have showdead enabled? The chain is flagged so I think it would be hidden by default.


Probably because it was flagged.


All codes (new ones too) have been redeemed, interesting app! I personally like Contexts (https://contexts.co/) but it has been barely supported.


Have you found out which cat was it in the end?


Nope, but I discovered that the older one liked to drink water from the bathtub, so there's that.

He's in kitty heaven now, but the younger one proved to still be an avid shess player when my SO had to take him along with her while she was working seasonally as a hotel receptionist. He found a worthy opponent there, so it might have been him from the start.


I tried a couple donwloaded from the site and worked just fine on DosBox without those dirs.


What do you run on it or use it for? Anything to share?


I have an iOS Flutter and a webapp that talks to this as a backend for my business. It is private and all low usage, but I like the idea that this is infinitely scalable and doesn't require any effort to maintain.


Infinitely scalable's a bit of myth in my experience. We've switched firebase app to a small postgres instance and have seen all of our performance issues magically melt away.


Firebase is a service that encompasses a bunch of things.

Do you mean Cloud Firestore?

To be clear, when I reference the infinite scalability, I mean the ability of cloud functions to spin up as many instances as I need.

In terms of database load, I'd fully expect to have to migrate to a larger instance, but that is also relatively easy with cloud sql postgres.


Cloud Firestore how does that relate to Datastore? Really wish Google would allow multi-region Cloud SQL like AWS allows with RDS. Datastore is such a pain to use with its index requirements



Ah yeah, I was mostly talking about the database offerings. The cloud functions can scale infinitely.


Cloud Firestore scales just fine, like any database, you have to know how to work with it. You switched from a nosql database to a sql database... two totally different performance profiles.


Looks really neat! It might be really interesting if the live demo is the actual live stats of your umami.is :)


I will switch it over at some point. I've been running it on my own sites for a month so I just wanted to provide an example with more data to play with.


This reminded me a lot of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BiModem - Fun times


If I may, I want to share my recently pleasant experience with MailU[1]. I am in no way related to them, but it worked very nicely, it wasn't difficult to setup, and it sorts a lot of things out that have always been a pain for me when setting up my own mail server.

Looks very nice! Two things I noticed right out on a projet:

- It doesn't seem to be picking up my global .gitignore file. I see untracked changes of something that should be ignored. It doesn't appear on any other git client nor `git status`.

- Please add regex to the search :)


I will try it out immediately, but I am surprised GitSavvy[1] was not even mentioned in this thread. It's by far my everyday package, and it fits very nicely. It's the only thing in a way of really wanting this.

GittySavvy is excellent.
