One year ago I created this list and demo of databases that are "free forever". I wonder how long it will take until none are left.

This is true. However, no matter how desperate the situation is, we'll still have opportunities to make it less bad, or much much worse.

> Now I get that this is a small subset of the climate activism but I even then I think that climate activists need to seriously rethink their tactics.

All means to fight climate change will always be used, and many people will always find a strawman to justify their inaction, or worse their actions against a better future... I don't think it's fair to put more blame on environmental activists than on the rest of people.

Funny, I actually tried finding tricks exploiting the cache from Vercel, but it didn't work. Initially I thought I could find a way to use it to share data across users, but nothing worked. Do you have any links to resources that could help getting a datastore from the Vercel cache?

I will try adding things you mentioned, and I'd love to find way to also have stupidly complex/convoluted storage systems, inspired by tom7's harder drives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcJSW7Rprio

6 * 50 / 25 + 100 + 75 = 187

is one step less

Sorry you faced downvotes. No offense taken.

Thanks for the comment! It made me realize I forgot to move a file. It's fixed now (you might need to clear your cache). And the live data toggle is now enabled.

Oh okay. Here is an old version of Ubähnchen with the toggle for "live mode / planned mode" on the top right: https://ubahnchen-inona1te6-lzear.vercel.app/?live The URL parameter still works in the current version by the way.

When I changed 'my-awesome-program' to 'ubahnchen' or something else when creating the hafas-client, it stopped getting valid responses. So I thought I should wait for VBB to give me an ID that works.

Hi, I know you! You're hard to miss when working on public transportation. Very happy to see you're looking at my project! I sent you an email.

v5.vbb.transport.rest's frames were missing something I needed, if I recall correctly. With a fork of hafas-client, I got something to work okay. I was going to release it too, but then I realised I should use another user agent than 'my-awesome-program' which only VBB can provide, I think.

Thanks for sharing this! It will definitely be helpful, as I am considering updating my map to use WebGL.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!! The "live mode" is already developed using hafas-client[1] and VBB-API[2]. I just asked VBB to give me API access, I'll release the feature when I get it. If you are interested, VBB already made a live map[3]

The link I posted was https://ubahnchen.vercel.app but, because there is a redirection, HackerNews changed it automatically.

You can also memorize ubaehnchen.vercel.app

Very nice! I am working on a very similar project ( https://www.elzear.de/posts/2021-01-10-polls , https://rank-votes.vercel.app) but I had never seen your work, thanks for sharing!
