That sounds awesome. Can you share your repo, if it's public?
You can have a look at Choosy (https://choosy.app/) if a paid solution works for you. (Not affiliated at all, just a happy user).
Maarius commented on Using extra Firefox profiles to make my life better utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/spa... · Posted by u/ingve
I don't like profiles, because I find it hard, impossible maybe, to tell Discord to open the funny links my friends send me in the Personal profile, and Slack to open the work related links in the Professional profile.
I ended up having one profile configuration file and a keyboard shortcut that toggled between two different symbolic links, plus a Gnome extension to display the currently selected profile in the top bar, so I would use one profile during the work hours and another one during the evening, but it was slow, difficult to export to other computers and just messy altogether.
So now I'm using Firefox containers and I'm mostly happy with them. I wish the bookmarks bar would change depending on the currently selected tab however.
Maybe you can build a better workflow with BetterTouchTool (https://docs.folivora.ai/docs/1003_did_open_url.html) or Choosy (https://choosy.app/)?
I did a small Automator action that just switches dark mode on my computer, and I activate it with the cmd-alt-shift-P hotkey; it’s truly convenient and there’s no need for a third-party :)
You can also use BetterTouchTool for that. I have CTRL-OPTION-CMD-M set up on macOS :)
Maarius commented on Ask HN: How to host simple Rails API to get 99.99% uptime · Posted by u/Maarius
Most cloud services have SLAs of 99.99 themselves, so it's not entirely realistic to go higher than that.
The good news is that you probably don't need 99.99. Read "Embracing Risk": https://sre.google/sre-book/embracing-risk/
Thanks, will check it out.
Well „need“ of course it a bit ambiguous. „It would make our life substantially easier if we had 99.99%“ would pretty much summarize it :)

Use https://controlplane.com - you'll get multiple regions and ultra low cost and fun user experience.
You should probably add that it is your company ;)
Sad to see, Atom has been my go to editor for the last years. What would you recommend as alternative for the average Ruby / Rails developer? I am looking at Panic Nova, VSCode, Sublime Text and others.

Agreed. Its an embarrasment.
Use Alfred; I've been using it for years (10 maybe?) -- solves this problem and is extremely useful in general
Alfred (https://www.alfredapp.com/) and BetterTouchTool (https://folivora.ai/) really are two of the must-haves for every mac.
Maarius commented on Issues with upstream DNS provider status.heroku.com/inciden... · Posted by u/bfirsh
We just deployed a workaround that brought our site back up.
1. Find your DNS Target in heroku. It should end with .herokudns.com
2. Lookup the historical DNS record to get the IP addresses. You can find historical DNS records here: https://securitytrails.com/dns-trails
3. Replace your CNAME record in your DNS provider with A records that point to the IP addresses you just found.
Your site should come back up shortly. We plan to revert back to CNAME records once Heroku gets their DNS issues sorted.
Thanks so much, worked for us as well. I created A records for all three of the listed IP addresses but it started working for the first one already.
