Especially for offline sync Firebase is still much stronger than other all-in-one solutions.

The real alternative there would be to use some SQLite syncing solution and a different solution for auth and cloud compute.

While Firebase has support for queries with realtime updates and offline caching, I wouldn't quite call it offline sync.

There is a normal support ticket system not on Discord, which they loudly advertise for having a very good response time. The Discord server is not the primary support method

In my case, the claim was justified. Got a technical response answering my question in detail after half an hour or so.

That's also my experience. I did have a few instances of 'random requests failing' they couldn't really diagnose back when they were new; but that was just amazon dropping request in the end

Service has been great, prices like 10% of cloudflare too once you get the real pricing :P

Well it is known SSL termination servers are a popular target: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/10/new-docs-show-ns...

They already terminate TLS at their edge. It takes one secret court order for them to start sending data to the NSA.

Maybe that's why the keep hosting extremist content.

I thought Cloudflare generally refuses to serve those kinds of sites. What content is Cloudflare serving that is extremist?

Many torrent sites, that's a kind of extremism.

I have seen this argument on HN before with respect to similar scenarios involving so-called "tech" companies acting as intermediaries

I don't think it's convincing

If this submission and this thread are any indication, it appears the "reputation" that CF customers care about has nothing to do with privacy. It relates to price, ease of use, reliability, etc.

The fact is businesses do "tolerate it"

For example,

The MITM design of CF is what it is

It creates risks, but these risks are tolerated

NVIDIA GeforceNow also caps at 100 hours/month, though it doesn’t sell a game subscription with it obviously. Then again it comes in at less than half the price of Game Pass Ultimate.

Interestingly I did not directly recognise the text as AI, but this is precisely the moment that I stopped reading.

I always thought Bun's approach was to be the JS runtime with a large well-designed std-library, this isn't really new. It's nice to have a choice of a more or less-featured runtime depending on the project's requirements -- if size and complexity are an issue, there's a variety to choose from.

The problem is that if you are the target demographic now, you’ll never know if you’re still next year or if you’ll be deplatformed and as such it makes for not a very reliable code host.

Slippery slope. AI and crypto are legitimetely controversial new technologies, though both have their uses. I can't imagine "offline mapping application" or "Linux CLI utility" or "self-hostable web app" being categories of software that become controversial in the future. Besides, migrating a repo to another Forgejo instance is simple enough.

But this is silly.I can't imagine any "offline mapping application" or "Linux CLI utility" or "self-hostable web app" will be produced without AI in any near future and be better for that.

This happens to literally everything.

The article literally says they intend to selectively enforce this rule and not be strict with it?

... and leave it completely up to their own personal judgement on when and how to apply their rules, and on public forums people who asked for more clarity on "boundaries" were called "creeps" and other insults.

That's not healthy democratic culture.

Called by whom?

Since when is Codeberg responsible of the Internet culture?

Said community calling itself a community and behaving in a way on the community forums that encompass such community is... yes, take responsibility.

I don’t think this ever works with passkeys stored in pw managers though, only Face ID/whatever Android is doing?

It works perfectly for passkeys stored in Bitwarden on Android. Don't know what iOS is doing.

It does using 1password.
