I've got the keys to a Ditch Witch somewhere. Gotta clean up the pretty colored glass running under the roads leading away from the big white monolith buildings.
An HT275 driving around near us-east-1 would be... amusing.
For us, the reason is we're primarily a Salesforce company and rely on the Heroku Connect product to facilitate bidirectional syncing between Salesforce and PostgreSQL (which also requires Heroku PG).
One of the biggest benefits to this product -- aside from the syncing mechanism -- is a bypass of Salesforce's extremely limiting (and expensive) API limits.
A lot of things because LLMs enable my potential ADHD and no-filter-brain.
A thing that controls a small FPV drone from the PC with vision input.
Cloudflare but in Europe!
An open source synth out of a Pi Pico!
A reservations engine for local market.
A small orchestrator for when Swarm is annoying but K3S is just too much!
I was wondering whether I should post a link to that, but figured the shooting fitted better. There's actually a place (or used to be) somewhere near Silicon Valley where you can take your least favourite piece of IT gear and blast it with rented firearms, pretty sure it was in operation at the time Office Space was made.

I have literally thrown one of those "winmodems" [1] out of the window back in the days. I then went out and drove with my car on it. I then put it in a bench vise until its PCB shattered to pieces. Utter destruction, much to the amusement of my brothers.
These were the days.
And big thanks to GP for his work of CUPS / Linux printing.
I read through that and I'm not a fan of Cloudflare. I live in the EU, I dislike the increased control that the EU keeps desiring - but generally we've fought it with various degrees of success. I feel it's a bit disingenuous to act like the US has total internet freedom since you're the folks that invented ISP letters.
Regardless of that, what really bugged me was the threat of removing the free-tier service for any Italy based accounts, which despite being fully in their right to do, is a shitty thing to threaten with - and it's shocking he would threaten that so easily.
So yes, my reaction is now to move all of my shit from Cloudflare as soon as possible because I don't see CF as a reliable partner right now after that tantrum.
This is impressive, especially because in my mind Bose doesn't have the image of the corporation that cares at all about its perception - especially of its perception in such a small circle that would care about this, but I'm definitely going to bump them up on the list of things I'd buy in the future.
