Every author of the free software obviously has rights to full control of the scope of their project.

That being said, I regret that we have switched from good_job (https://github.com/bensheldon/good_job). The thing is - Basecamp is a MySQL shop and their policy is not to accept RDMS engine specific queries. You can see in their issues in Github that they try to stick "universal" SQL and are personally mostly concerned how it performs in MySQL(https://github.com/rails/solid_queue/issues/567#issuecomment... , https://github.com/rails/solid_queue/issues/508#issuecomment...). They also still have no support for batch jobs: https://github.com/rails/solid_queue/pull/142 .

It’s all fine and dandy, but I wonder why so little discussion around this (mainly high-level comments “DBs are hard”?

> disco provides a "good enough" Postgres addon.

> This addon is a great way to quickly setup a database when Postgres is not mission critical to your system. If you need any non-basic features, like replication, automatic failover, monitoring, automatic backups and restore, etc. you should consider using a managed Postgres provider, such as Neon or Supabase.

How come automatic backups is considered an “advanced” feature?

Also I can’t think of a single application since 2012 that I have worked on that did not have a secondary/follower instance deployed. Also suggesting Neon and friends is fine, but I wonder what is your average latency, Hetzner does not have direct connection to the DCs these databases are hosted.

My great-grandfather was wounded during WW2 and after lengthy rehabilitation his command reassigned him from active combat duty to Ladoga’s “road of life”. The trucks would routinely attempt to cross the lake during winter with canned goods and were regularly blown up or sunken through the cracked ice. My great-grandfather was a trained diver, his task was to pull up crates from sunken trucks. So there definitely were attempts to deliver food. You talk about how easy it could have been to supply the city given the intent, but I encourage you to read how hunger stroked has been Gaza in the past year. And they were not surrounded by Nazis, who would indiscriminately blow up to pieces any approaching vehicle.

As Lion Feuchtwanger put it: "Talented person is talented everywhere."

I'd prefer them improving UI allowing such simple things in browser as root shell to Linux VM. Otherwise you can kill hour or two trying to reset password that ex-colleague forgot to pass you. Sometimes you can't do it at all, without contacting support .....
