If you don't care for which components Appwrite uses, that means you bet on Appwrite being around forever?

Most technologies come and go. So when Appwrite goes away, your applications will fall apart?

Components: For example, which database is Appwrite using?

Looking at the repo, I see this:

    Before using this application, make sure you have
    Appwrite server up and running
Then I looked ad Appwrites website for a while.

Since Appwrite probably did not write all the components (Like a database) themselfes, wouldn't the first thing one wants to know what components make Appwrite? I can not see that info anywhere on the website.

I would not trust this.

What I would trust:

A backup medium (SSD or whatever) which only allows writes to empty space. Unless a switch is manually switched from "write" to "update".

In "write" mode, it would only allow writing to empty space.

In "update" mode, it would allow writing everywhere.

I would leave it in "write" mode most of the time. For me, a typical SSD has enough space for years of incremental backups. If I should ever want to delete old backups, I would set it to "update" mode to do that and then set it back to "write" mode.

This is not called XSS.

This is just user generated html on subdomains.

Github does the same on github.io. Everybody can make a theirname.github.io page and alert whatever they like too.

So does Gitlab on yourname.gitlab.io, Wordpress on yourname.wordpress.com etc. It is a common practice.

Upwork.

I know that many here despise Upwork, but they are wrong.

You will need to build a profile before you can earn higher hourly rates, but then it is great.

Better to invest a few months of your life in building a profile and then be free than to be dependent on others forever.

Is fraud even possible with crypto?

As I understand it: When A pays B with Bitcoin via the Lightning Network, B can almost instantly be sure that they have the money. There is no way for A or an intermediary to take it back.

    Stripe can easily lose very large
    amounts of money on individual accounts
How so?

Is that because Stripe settles the payment on their end (they pay the merchant) before the payment to Stripe is settled?

Can crypto solve this?

Talking about online animation tools ...

Does anybody know a site where one can create "zoom in animations"?

I mean you upload an image, select the point where the animation should zoom in and get a "fly into the image" animation.

There is Product Chart [1], a site by a HN user.

But I think it has the focus more on the user interface than on a broad product index.

I think a good hedge against the web becoming more and more bureaucratic is to invest in the internet giants like Google and Facebook.

It is such a tailwind for them.

Every piece of regulation you have to comply with gives them an edge over the competition.

Implementing cookie banners or an age verification system costs you the same if you have 1000 users or 1000 million users.

So on a per user basis, these annoyances are a million times cheaper to master for the giants than for a startup.

Is any one of these 8 million here?

I would love to hear what people do with it.

The Fed is the only source of Dollars. Banks only produce IOUs.

About 40% of all Dollars were created in 2020:

We are already there. Europeans all use Coinbase and other US exchanges. Coinbase alone brought over $80B in market cap to the US. 100 times more than the market cap of Yahoo when it IPOed.

If you compile it yourself, how do security updates get to your system?

As for a more recent Debian version: The latest stable Debian has sqlite3 3.27.2 in the repos, so that is not an option.
