Be extremely careful with your server's security. I would never want to be responsible for someone else's exchange access keys. It's a honeypot if there ever was one. (Even with limited access rights) Focus on the "local Open Source client" even though that will probably be much harder to monetize. Anyway, building trading bots is a lot of fun and there are plenty of strategies that can make a decent return.

Also keeping a close eye on Dex. I can in theory do all my coding server side but I want to be 99% sure Samsung is in it for the long run.

I think it was a brilliant idea. I don't know any ecosystem where I can be as productive as with Node.js+Typescript+React. Having everything typed from frontend to backend, even the email templates (tsx + ReactDOMServer) makes refactoring a breeze and work across the entire project.

This exactly. Focus on value for the person that hits your website and organic search will follow. I've had a slow SPA site for years but the (user generated) content, long on-site time and high rate of return visits all made it one of the top pages in my niche. Not because I was fine tuning image size, speed or meta tags.

Pumping excessive amounts of groundwater for agriculture lowers the water table and may be a bigger driver for tree die-off:

The US doesn't want a strong Russia. Looking at the US track record of invading Iraq, destabilize Lebanon and Yemen, I can see why Russia is protective of its borders.

"It’s also the only side doing anything threatening." NATO and US forces have been creeping up since 30 years and the buffer zone that once existed is pretty much gone short of Belarus. I'm not rooting for Russia but I can see why they are on edge given the history and tactics of the US.

There is often a complete lack of seeing things from the Russian perspective.

I see this mostly coming from US and UK based news outlets, and of course the White House. I have this nagging feeling the US really wants a proxy war in Ukraine for whatever reason. It only needs a trigger, like the Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq. Whatever gets the ball rolling. I hope cooler heads will prevail.

Not sure I agree. My Hetzner vps has less downtime than some AWS regions. To be honest, I have yet to experience any downtime from them over multiple years. There is a good chance you introduce more potential downtime by blowing up the complexity with a distributed system.

Prisma + Typescript is such a productivity boon, auto completing all query options and database fields. And the results fully typed.

I jumped on the React bandwagon because I didn't like the Typescript support in Vue 2, and did not see much improvements for V3. Vscode Vetur was slow and unable to do full typechecking in Vue files. Much of my code was based on Vue Class Components, which was not going to be compatible with the new API. Vuex did not seem to be going in the Typescript direction either. A bit sad if you consider Vue 3 is written in Typescript.

I never understood this npm hell reference people are speaking off. Is this just the drama of updating an outdated inherited project? I've been working with node/npm since the early days and don't consider it worse than what you find in Java, Python or PHP.

Exactly, got the premium membership to support them in this Joe Rogan madness, but cancelled today because of the episode removals. Shortest subscription ever.

Easiest option in the book. The only downside I face with this is frequent captcha requests as the IP range (Hetzner/IPv6) is marked suspicious. Probably because it is flagged as a server range vs domestic.

I used to switch my mouse to the left when my right hand started to hurt. I even used a rope to prevent my right hand from being able to reach the mouse on the left as switching always took me a bit of getting used to.

No sure if I no longer do this because I switched to a Magic Trackpad or because I no longer work behind my laptop for hours on end.

Clearly there are a lot of doctors that have good experiences with ivermectin. On an FDA approved dosage, it is one of the safest drugs available. Yet there seems to be a crusade against it. It is beyond me why such cheap and safe drug that has helped many, especially in the early stages of a covid19 infection, is being so strongly censored. In the Netherlands, we advise those coming down with covid19 to wait until things get so bad one needs to go to the hospital. Why not try ivermectin at this stage.

I have fond memories of using MythTV. It was a great alternative to Microsoft Media Center. Automatic advertisement removal, great scheduled recording capabilities. As most of this functionality comes with your TV or settopbox today, I wonder how popular MythTV is today.

That's a huge assumption. Given how well Sweden has done with limited lockdowns [0] one could also jump to conclusions that lockdowns have prolonged and exacerbated a situation that would otherwise have fizzled out with herd immunity.

Covid vaccines are not covered under the VICP program: https://www.hrsa.gov/vaccine-compensation/covered-vaccines/i... They are covered under https://www.hrsa.gov/cicp Which has notable differences (worse) in injuries covered, appeal possibilities and benefits. Differences: https://www.hrsa.gov/cicp/cicp-vicp

Thanks for calling me an idiot. I make a well researched decision to not get vaccinated based on my lifestyle, risk profile, the unknown long term effects of the vaccines, the known declining efficacy of the vaccines and the way we are blindly pushing this on everyone. Calling people idiots isn't going to help the discussion.
