I should add, the worst annoying problem I've had have been poor BlueTooth performance. But to be fair it's gotten a lot better over time and I think at least part of the issue is my hardware, not the software. There was also a foollshly planned roll out of their actually pretty cool Advanced Privacy features: when they first push the update it was all turned on by default, including the spoofing of location and IP address, which made loads of apps (like maps, both others too) just not work because they were being blocked by the new Advanced Privacy features. Again for usability, I actually turn quite a few of their Advanced Privacy features off because too many things just don't work if you have them on (e.g. unfortunately for one of my contracts with a Charity I do some work for I need to use Outlook and it just wasn't working because all M$ servers were automatically being blocked - but it was OK once I whitelisted the necessary ones).

@usmanmalik thanks for your comment, but it's best if you post this in Contabo forums . Just rechecking in case there is a confusion, this is the Cloudron forum which is totally separate and has no relationship with Contabo .

Merry Christmas everyone

@michaelpope yes, I've seen some people being concerned about it. But it's either you are a very large deployment, or people with small but very special deployments. For the typical cloudron use case this should not matter. Ps: i have not watched the video

@jdaviescoates A platform to consider is SendFox. They offer a pay-once option for $US49 that would handle 5,000 subscribers. I can't vouch for deliverability, but I have referred several clients to this platform without any negative feedback. Another option is Mailerlite. Again, I have no firsthand knowledge about deliverability but clients are using this with no complaints. That being said, ListMonk looks like an interesting platform that we are evaluating to provide email list subscription services (using Cloudron) to our clients rather than referring them to these external solutions. Since your client is paying in Canadian dollars, I would suggest that they confirm with any of these solution providers that their platforms comply with any Canadian spam and privacy regulations. Lastly, it can be difficult to migrate from one provider to another. The new provider can get prickly about "opt-in" requirements and whether a CSV list exported from Constant Contact (assuming this is possible) meets those requirements. Better to know what is and what is not permissible before leaving Constant Contact.

also, i should ask, why does this thing have to send you emails? o well, luckily i setup an alias that can be disabled at anytime in the case that i get annoyed. i use simplelogin for my dayly email

@Neiluj said in Web dev - How would you go at it today?: breaking things into "ingestible" bits / smaller actionable parts You know, I tried this exactly ... with ChatGPT! I've managed to get one app idea into a visual, working, state. I gave the command, and because I said the app has to be cross-platform, ChatGPT opted to give a bunch of code in Flutter. I then decided to install all the required software (flutter, android studio, etc.) to see if the code actually worked, and it did. From that initial command, I then iterated on it and asked, "with the code you just gave me, add this functionality" a few times and wow. I'm currently stuck on getting it to provide me with code to plug into a db backend, but it's progress.

@micmc does the generic S3 option not work?

Sure, did you see this? https://www.ssdnodes.com/contact/ I've been working across 12 time zones, and always got help when I needed it (but like I said, it was just the Dashboard-based ticket system I used, I've never had something so screwed up I had to call someone!)

@necrevistonnezr said in Thinking about self-hosting; why do/don't you run your own hardware?: More interesting is the router you have at home and what traffic you're able to block etc. More advanced routers allow to block traffic based on IP lists etc. I have a FRITZ!Box 7590AX

@LoudLemur nice, will add the region in Cloudron UI as well. it's already there.

@chet-williams good suggestion for the Syncthing devs upstream.

@chetbaker that would be great

After 36 hours they are up again, CEO wrote a post mortem, very interesting: https://blog.cloudflare.com/post-mortem-on-cloudflare-control-plane-and-analytics-outage/

Okta did it again... https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/10/okta-says-hackers-breached-its-support-system-and-viewed-customer-files/

I've only ever moved once my existing setup runs out of space or I've added more apps and need more RAM/ CPU.
