At one point on the internet PayPal was the most trusted way to send and receive money - at least you are limiting sharing your personal payment information with random companies on the internet who may or may not be compliant. Lately though, with companies like Stripe and Plaid making it nearly frictionless to add payments to your website just as PP once did, and things like Google & Apple pay - why is there a need to use PayPal anymore? Their support is notoriously awful, the product is slow and dated, as a consumer at least I see no reason to not stop using PayPal (and their subsidies) entirely.
a-ha, if you happen to have a Unifi router then a simpler setup would be to do policy based routing by hostnames through a vpn client maintained in the router config
Haha almost identical experience but self hosting immich with off site backups. Wild how difficult it is to change your email with certain websites! Several months later still fighting with various sites.
I have an iphone so I use Apple maps and an icloud based obsidian vault, and that is all that is tied to Apple which feels fine for now.
Except the satellites are already up and functioning, the service is available today. We will look crazy for burying thousands of miles of wires to residential in the future.
The last point is simply not true, notably Google does not use the go build or dependency tooling, instead using blaze. Blaze handles the aforementioned issues as well.
respectfully I think there’s too much magic here, simple use cases don’t have solutions jumping out at me
- I want to deploy my own things with argo alongside this cluster, how?
- I want a private nlb, even locked by a vpn subnet, how?
- I want to put this in an existing vpc, or peer with a vpc, or tgw with a vpc, how?
- I want to specify some RI’s for my nodes, how? I want to use spot, how?
- How do I upgrade each separate piece of the stack?
I could keep going but I hope the point is clear, I think this is too much of an oversimplification of a complex system. Better to just use MWAA or pay a devops team.
This is my take as well, we would not have any ip space if every machine had a public ipv4 address - this is kind of a silly argument to make, nat’s provide a ton of usefulness.
As a kid I didn’t get it either but would port forward, run a vpn server, reverse proxy, and so on. It was a good learning experience trying to get my friends to install vpn clients!
