If you need a backend anyway I like using postgis ST_AsMVT and caching the result. So pretty much running a sql query on the database every time the map is moved and then caching it. Super easy to maintain, don't have to pregenerate anything. Just bust the cache when necessary.

Exactly! I run a service that handles >1M tile requests per month served directly from PostGIS with ST_AsMVT etc. and file caching.

I'd be more interested in the other way around

Use it to make yourself stronger, break free like the running man in Animatrix

Love this reference. I think about this short a lot. Reaching an extreme level of peak physical performance that you break the constraints (code) of the world, causing a severe bug that crashes the program and reveals the reality of all things.

Or Harrison Bergeron...

Yeah, clickbait title for some of us. Should be "Advanced Age Simulation Suit".

My initial thoughts too.

Amen.

losing weight is one way

It's solely created for advertisers to be able to implement their tracking more reliably. There is almost no way to use it in a way that benefits the user.

Yes, but you could also say that it was created so that advertisers stop doing complete nonsense like tracking pixels and other roundabout ways of accomplishing the same thing in ways that are sometimes (often?) detrimental to the user.

Sure, it's a form of capitulation to advertisers, that doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't benefit the user.

If advertisers are going to be doing that stuff no matter what, corralling them has advantages. If anything, it makes creating an extension like OP's a lot easier than playing whack-a-mole with a litany of random techniques.

Sure, which is exactly the rationale for disabling it.

Yup, we do. Mind you, I'm not an american. But we often say something like "the americans" or other less flattering terms.

Why accept the result? Send it back and have them deliver something usable.

It was running when they accepted it. However they didn't realize that the group was running the Django/Postgres 'backend' on a managed Digital Ocean instance, then there were two different Vercel 'projects'. It was costing hundreds and hundreds of dollars a month to run for a project that was VERY lightly used.

They paid them on the strength of seeing it working, but then the consulting group basically ghosted when the customer asked to adjust it to run on cheaper hosting (probably because they couldn't), then the site got shut off because the hosting was all in the consulting groups name and they stopped paying it. Digital Ocean nuked the database for non-payment and they lost tons and tons of manual work putting in data.

Damn, what a horror story

I felt really bad for them. They're super nice people and I don't think the contractors set out to take advantage of them, it ended up being an bad experience for everyone.

It's great for SSH from my phone. The connection is just there whenever I unlock my phone.

Yes, but I've also found that I can have ssh open from phone for days to my home computer, if I've established it over a VPN (in my case wireshark).

I suppose this didn't always use to be the case, though.

It's clearly a link in the chain.

would you mind getting in your time machine and telling me this before broadcomm acquired bitnami?

Only if you're using jsx

reolink is acceptable
