Perhaps do the last 5% yourself?

Oh, interesting, I stand corrected!

I was investigating this 5 months ago and the answer their slop machine gave was:

> Does Mollie retry failed payments (dunning) and track subscription states? Mollie does not currently provide automatic dunning or retry logic for failed subscription payments. Subscription states like active or past due are tracked, but you need to implement retry and notification logic in your system. This is a common feature request and may be on the roadmap, but no official release date is available.

From your link, note though:

> If your subscription payment does not succeed, Mollie may attempt it again up to 5 times (once a day), depending on the failure reason. After all retries have been exhausted, the subscription will be cancelled.

If there's a payment issue, I would not consider cancelling the subscription 5 days after the first failure as reasonable. I would expect the subscription to go into "past due" state, and to keep retrying.

Do you know of any EU payment processor that supports recurring payments like a SaaS would need (subscriptions, subscription state tracking, automatic retries of failed payments)?

I looked but couldn't find any. Adyen does not do this on its own AFAICT, only with 3rd party addons that implement recurring payments on top of it. Mollie claims it does this but is woefully incomplete (no failed payment retries for example), and appears to be all in on slop.

I hope that changes and people start valuing simplicity and robustness over electric gimmicks (I know many people already do, but we need critical mass).

> I just don't get it!

This is open source, volunteer developers often focus on doing things that are fun to them, or that scratch their own itch. I can't imagine dealing with Google Photos semi-broken exports is fun to anybody, and you only deal with the pain of the import once, afterwards there's no itch to scratch.

Or maybe somebody at the decision table had sentimental feelings for Volvo. Like Kyoto.

I use notes on paper amd time.

Notes on paper: writing down my thought process helps me think. Extends my context window if you will.

Time: when I'm stuck on a decision, just letting it sit helps. Good ideas come during walks, bike rides, showers.

I do not think a digital tool would help my process.

You can accidentally create a bug that you yourself cannot find.

It would be interesting to see vanilla postgres on a VPS and vanilla postgres on a bare metal server included too. I understand it's apples and oranges, but would it be slower, would it be faster, by how much?

I add a note in the password manager's notes field for sites where I've added Yubikeys as the second factor. I can get the list of the sites using search, and from time to time I go through them to check if a backup key needs to be registered. I create new accounts infrequently.

A little nice thing the cars could do is automatically calibrate the speedometer from GPS when on a long stretch of a road. You would get the accuracy of GPS and the reliability of speedometer even when in city jungle, underground, during slow speed manoeuvres etc.

A dumb and simple solution is separate physical routers for the home stuff and for the homelab stuff. Each group of clients is behind its own NAT.

Watermelons are better at everything the apples are doing except perhaps a bit of weight and for making apple pies.
