How is it different from https://diskprices.com/ ?


It's different in that diskprices doesn't make money for the OP, while it only costed the OP 15$ in claude credits to slopvibe a competitor.


Nobody wants to compete. I just shared something I use myself, hoping it could help someone else. Of course, to keep it running, I need to make a profit, since the Amazon API alone won't let me discover so many products, and I need to get product info

If users won't find anything useful, I will simply put it offline and run it on demand whenever I need a new drive.

As many users pointed out, neither DiskPrices' idea nor mine is unique; there are many alternatives with different product listings.

It is only a benefit for the users if they have more choice


Well, for one, the prices are less accurate... ;)


i tried 5 items. all of the prices are widely off. i just gave up.


you have to find the "renewed" price somewhat hidden on the amazon page



Neither allow filtering for CMR (vs SMR) or TLC (vs QLC).

Neither have a column for Endurance (TBW), or power consumption (load watt, idle watt, RPM...).

Both list disks not actually available for purchase (fake prices).

Very limited usefulness.


This is because brands are not 100% transparent on this, they could change how they assemble a specific model based on availability.

Amazon doesn't expose this data


I've noticed diskprices.com getting increasingly bad with filters, probably because the source data is garbage with Amazon sellers trying to jam all the keywords into titles or descriptions/features..."M.2 USB-C 3.2 PCIE NVME"


Many users are pointing out that the concept is very similar.

The product listings are perhaps different?


yes, OPs one has strictly less listings (diskprices.com does multiple countries).


Even terabytedeals.com does, you have a drawer in the top-right corner!


I searched my logs for errors for about an hour before figuring out the problem was not on my server :D


I don´t understand how you could use this new tasks system in production if there is no real workers when it's released? Are there any 3rd party yet?


My understanding is that if you just need to return a response to the client as quickly as possible, but are ok with then processing your task directly after that, then it's still usable today.

But if you want to schedule a task further in the future, then a new backend will be needed for that.


I think the bigger use case is being able to (backoff) retry failing API calls to 3rd party services. AFAIUI the new tasks package doesnt offer this in v1 which is a deal breaker for my project, at least.


For me I think it works well as is because my use case is sending several different emails after POST'ing to a view, which, there is no need to make the user wait for in my case, as they don't care about the status of the mail delivery.

But I realize there are many other usecases too that will need proper workers.


I guess the idea is first to provide a generic interface to connect various backends to and let the community develop those. Users of Django should then be able to swap one out for another. Maybe one will emerge as a quasi-standard or maybe it will be like database backends where different backends serve different purposes.

At leas that's my guess.


I have been an Evernote, then Notion and now a Jopplin user. A feature I used a lot in these apps is the browser extension that allows me to quickly bookmark a web page into a note. Would you consider such a feature?


edit: Credentials for modifying the piepline were found in the .git/config file


With Bitbucket, as well as Gitlab and likely others that I haven't used, the CI pipelines are stored as a plaintext configuration in the repo itself. So, repo commit access automatically gives you the ability to modify the pipeline.


This is why things like codeowners files are so important


It's right at the start of the post - the git remote including credentials was exposed via the .git directory


I thought the same :)


I rent a bare metal server for $50/month with unlimited bandwith...


Where?


OVH: https://us.ovhcloud.com/bare-metal/prices/ (prices are a little higher now)


Probably Hetzner


There is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth.

What I'm aware of are services which do not charge extra for egress but severely limit your egress bandwidth (like 10 Gbit peak, 100 Mbit avg)

And limiting egress bandwidth is better is better done in the service per client than by the hoster for your system


https://getdeploying.com/reference/data-egress

Check this out. You _almost_ use the most expensive service.

I think you should expand your awareness. Hetzner for instance doesn't mention anywhere that they throttle your 10gbit uplink, but they limit to 20TB/month, with ~1EUR for every TB over. Seems like you wouldn't even have noticed what you described in your article.


20 TB/month is significantly less than 100 Mbit/s

Sure there are cheaper options then GCS but, there is no one providing unlimited free bandwidth

It had been up since 1998. It show a 404 error today. So sad :'-(


Maybe I'm getting old but I just use HTML tables every time. :-D
