Nice implementation! Just a heads-up, hashing the ip like that is still considered tracking under GDPR and requires a privacy banner in the EU.
No bad intentions with the title, was just using "banned" since Valve used it in their response to the Reddit poster. Change it to whatever you think is better! :)
Valve is quite clear about their reasoning. Since AI models use all kind of sources for their training, they don't want those assets on their platform because they are afraid of copyright claims.

I think the fan is for the G-Sync module!
Lot's of people are using restream.io. Good solution to stream to multiple places at the same time.

Doing you own single-tenant stream is hard to manage and scale in general.

Same experience here. He didn't listen to my feedback and didn't answer any of the Workers-related question i emailed him on his request.
They charge 5% besides any Stripe or Paypal fees. The users connect their own Stripe and Paypal accounts and Buy Me a Coffee charges a platform fee.

You can set a lifecycle rule for the bucket to delete all objects after a number of days. This way they wil be deleted automatically.

Mailchimp just sent out an update per mail: https://pastebin.com/6TN10AZB

TLDR: One of their five Postgres clusters went into read-only mode due to an Transaction ID Wraparound issue. Restoring this can take up to several days (!).

Good catch! Thanks!

Heads-up: There is no overview/confirmation page at the end of the signup process, so no reviewing your answers before submitting. Just found this out the hard way!

Same. Totally bogs down my maxed out Macbook Pro on some HTML5 video.

Agreed. I was already trying to click on it. Eventually found this topic via the search.

Thanks, good idea! Will definitely do that!

We have been looking into a good solution for our office dashboard last month. Evaluated a lot of solutions like Geckoboard, but eventually ended up using Databox.com. Beautiful dashboards and also mobile apps.
Re:Show HN: Repuso – Social testimonial widgets on Tuesday January 12, 2016 @11:27AM (#10888293)
Hi HN!

I've been working on Repuso the last few months after a similar service closed down. After their closing down notice i whiped up an MVP in a weekend and started testing it with some users of the old service.

The last few months it grew into a mature service which lets you showcase social media testimonials with a single line javascript widget. All Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Zendesk and Delighed user feedback can be displayed on your most important pages to increase the conversion of your website.

Re:Redis Geo on Wednesday June 24, 2015 @05:32PM (#9774640)
One of our applications has user generated content with a geolocation attached to each of the items. For several selections we want to show the top 10 nearest items. If they are only a few, the radius has to be very large to have some items in the result set.

Currently the Geo module only supports a range up to 20.000 km. So your idea does not work at the moment. I agree that those items are not really "nearby", but to be consistent through out the application it would be nice to be able to select without a max distance.

Re:Redis Geo on Wednesday June 24, 2015 @02:23PM (#9773474)
Great Salvatore! Could you make the max distance parameter optional? Sometimes i just want the nearest items, even though they could be on the other side of the world.
Re:Redis Geo on Wednesday June 24, 2015 @12:37PM (#9772753)
Dynamic Redis (which is a Redis Fork that lets you add modules to it) is a great find! Especially with the Geo module added.

I needed a limit parameter for the Georadius method because i wanted a result set sorted by distance in a large radius, but not have thousands of results send from the redis server to my webservers. Anyone interested in such a parameter can use my little fork for the Geo module:

Re:Aurora - New MySQL-Compatible Database Engine on Thursday November 13, 2014 @10:31AM (#8601973)
As i understood this your database storage is replicated to multiple places, but it still runs on one instance. It does not have failover to those replicated places. You'll have to launch multiple instances for that just like RDS. So cheaper, no.
