It’s sad there’s such a disparity between leave amounts at different employers in the USA. It really should be standardized.

I’m from Australia, where it’s mandated to get four weeks (20 days) of PTO per year, 20 weeks of paid parental leave, at least a year of unpaid parental leave, and an extra 8 weeks of PTO every 7 years (“long service leave”).

I’m living in the USA now, and am fortunate that my employer offers 21 days PTO per year. I also have unlimited sick leave, which is a strange phrase to hear as an Aussie (why would sick days be limited??)

The headline makes it sound like he only did this to one piece of art, but he was much busier than that:

I was going to ask why they need to pay given you can download a full copy of Wikipedia’s database for free, but it makes sense that AI training is stressing their download servers and therefore they want to receive compensation for it.

I’m still undecided about AI, but non-profits receiving payment from big companies that take advantage of their work is always a positive thing.

I know this comment is a bit old, but do you have any recommendations on how to learn about building custom Odoo modules? I’m an experienced developer (with over 20 years experience) but am new to Odoo. I’ve learnt some things by looking at the code for OCA modules (I had to debug an issue with the Plaid bank statement integration) but am interested in any resources you found useful.

Definitely… I use Borgbackup for my backups, which encrypts the backups before sending them to the remote server. Not all use cases can do that though, so sometimes it’s useful to have filesystem-level encryption.

Hopefully nobody lands on the same space as another player in Mario Party.

Oops, I didn’t know about the SX line, and didn’t know they had auction servers with large amounts of disk space. Thanks!! I’m not familiar with all of Hetzner’a products.

For pure file storage (ie you’re only using SFTP, Borgbackup, restic, NFS, Samba, etc) I still think the storage boxes are a good deal, as you don’t have to worry about server maintenance (since it’s a shared environment). I’m not sure if supports encryption though, which is probably where a dedicated server would be useful.

One of SQLite’s recommended use cases is as an alternate to proprietary binary formats: https://sqlite.org/appfileformat.html. Programs often store data in binary files for performance, but you get a lot of the same functionality included with SQLite (fast random access, concurrent usage, atomicity, updates that don’t need to rewrite the whole file, etc) without having to implement a file format yourself.

I’m not sure if this is still the case, but Facebook’a HHVM used to store the compiled bytecode for the whole site in a single SQLite database: https://docs.hhvm.com/docs/hhvm/advanced-usage/repo-authoritative/. Every pageload loaded the bytecode for all required files from the DB.

SQLite is underrated. I’ve used it for high traffic systems with no issues. If your system has a large number of readers and a small number of writers, it performs very well. It’s not as good for high-concurrency write-heavy use cases, but that’s not common (most apps read far more than they write).

My use case was a DB that was created during the build process, then read on every page load.

MariaDB is not always a drop-in replacement. There’s several features that MySQL has that MariaDB doesn’t, especially related to the optimizer (for some types of queries, MySQL will give you a more optimized execution plan compared to MariaDB). It’s also missing some newer data types, like JSON (which indexes the individual fields in JSON objects to make filtering on them more efficient).

MariaDB and MySQL are both fine. Even though MySQL doesn’t receive as much development any more, it doesn’t really need it. It works fine. If you want a better database system, switch to PostgreSQL, not MariaDB.

AWS Glacier would be about $200/mo, PLUS bandwidth transfer charges, which would be something like $500. R2 would be about $750/mo

50TB on a Hetzner storage box would be $116/month, with unlimited traffic. It’d have to be split across three storage boxes though, since 20TB is the max per box. 10TB is $24/month and 20TB is $46/month.

They’re only available in Germany and Finland, but data transfer from elsewhere in the world would still be faster than AWS Glacier.

Another option with Herzner is a dedicated server. Unfortunately the max storage they let you add is 2 x 22TB SATA HDDs, which would only let you store 22TB of stuff (assuming RAID1), for over double the cost of a 20TB storage box.

I think sometimes people forget that one of the main features of Git is that it’s decentralized. You don’t need Github; just push your repo to a different remote.

Everyone that clones the repo (usually) has a full copy of it, including all history, and theoretically you can clone the repo directly from their copy. Of course, that’s often not practical, which is how we ended up with these centralized services.

The main issue with losing a Github repo is the auxiliary non-Git-powered features of Github, like issue tracking.

Plenty of open-source projects that I use are happy with them though. I see far fewer projects using Travis CI and AppVeyor these days for example.

Every new feature added to Github has made it more unpleasant to use

Free private repositories, Github Actions, and Github Packages are all pretty useful though. All of those were added under Microsoft’s ownership. Actions got a head start because it was built on top of Azure DevOps infra that Microsoft had already created.

I get the Pro version for free since I’ve worked on a few popular open-source projects. I’m using it in VS Code and it’s helped me write code for systems I’m unfamiliar with. I’ve used it to summarize the architecture of open-source projects so I understand how to contribute new features. The autocompletion can be pretty good too. I also use it to review my code.

We use Claude Code with the Opus 4.5 model at work, and it’s quite a bit better, but I don’t want to pay that much for an AI model for personal projects since I use it so infrequently.

Maybe he just needs to rest his arm.

Are you including Github Copilot in that count? Technically that’s a Microsoft product. It’s probably the only Copilot that’s actually useful.

Both of those documents agree with me? RedHat are just using the terms “client” and “server” to make it easier for people to understand, but they explicitly say that all hosts are “peers”.

Note that all hosts that participate in a WireGuard VPN are peers. This documentation uses the terms client to describe hosts that establish a connection and server to describe the host with the fixed hostname or IP address that the clients connect to and, optionally, route all traffic through this server.

–

Everything else is a client of that server because they can’t independently do much else in this configuration.

All you need to do is add an extra peer to the WireGuard config on any one of the “clients”, and it’s no longer just a client, and can connect directly to that peer without using the “server”.
