Same, even started adding new ssh keys to no avail... (I was getting some nondescript user error first, then unhealthy upstream)

Would love to see a global counter for the number of times ‘ssh -T git@github.com’ was invoked.

I thought I was going crazy when I couldn't push changes but now it seems it's time to just call it for the day. Back at it tomorrow.

I'm just getting started in iOS development as a hobby, but what does this mean? Can I now build my app in Xcode with an Android target and use that binary in the Play Store? It surely can't be that easy now is it?

I built https://invoicepad.app which is a free, completely in-browser tool for creating invoices, estimates, and quotes. Yes, similar apps have been posted here before, but none were built the way I envisioned, so I made my own. The key difference: all invoice data is stored in the URL hash, not the querystring. This is important because querystrings are sent to the server with every request, while hashes stay local to your browser. This means I can never see your invoice data, unlike other similar apps. The workflow is simple: use your browser's bookmark manager as your invoice filing system. Or if you want to keep it offline, just copy and paste invoice URLs into a text document for storage. I’ve also included helpful features like saved profiles to save on repeated data input. The next step is to finish working on a browser extension (v1 is being tested) to make bookmarking, editing, and saving changes even easier, that is if I ever stop being distracted by other side projects.

It's not about what I (as a web dev) need, but what works for "halp, I need a website" clients who don't know anything about tech. Hugo still implies the need for a build setup and hosting, which in turn means DNS, SSL, CLI, etc. Which often means more dev time. Your average yoga teacher or restaurant or nonprofit would have no idea how to deal with all that (and they shouldn't have to). That's why the page builders are better for them, IMO.

I recently moved two sites from GoDaddy's predatory WordPress offering (they were charging $1k a year just for some security add-on) to use Hugo + DecapCMS + AWS Amplify. Decap is a fantastic "good enough" CMS to do anything clients of this size need, the only downside is it takes about 1 minute to deploy any changes. Amplify let's you lock a version of Hugo to use, or bring your own, and it will build and deploy your site on any new commit if your repo is in Github or Gitlab. Both clients are currently billed $0.51 per month, and the only reason it is that high is because Route53 costs $0.50 per month per hosted zone. So both these clients went from paying nearly $3k each year for a WordPress site to paying just over $6 a year for a site with nearly the same functionality and none of the maintenance or security concerns. And once everything is all set up, which honestly is not that hard, the only "tech" they need to know is how to sign into Gitlab, which are the credentials they use to log into their Decap admin.

I laser cut wall art and sell over Facebook marketplace. Making $2000-5000/month.

I have a website, but most sales are done over FB and customers pick up at my house. I either purchase designs on Etsy, pay a designer to create dxf file or do it myself (if it's easy). To be honest, I don't like the position I'm in with this. It makes too much to give up, but not enough to be a "real thing". Plus, I'm still trading time for dollars.

What laser setup are you using?

I have a go monolith, htmx for dynamic pages, and SQLite to back it. I really tried to find something for user login / auth / forgot password, but ended up just implementing it myself. Way easier than figuring out APIs and such to integrate with my pages.

https://pocketbase.io is already aligned with what you're working with, and can be embedded in your existing codebase.

Supabase for registration and auth, frontend framework of your choice for views, Stripe payment links for subscriptions. You'll have to sprinkle in some Supabase Edge Functions for Stripe webhooks for your entitlements flow as well. AWS SES for transactional email. Something like Basedash for your admin panel and at this point you're running an MVP at least.

It's not a huge mystery why this is an issue. Most land that axis roam on is private and either does not allow hunting or charges very inflated prices to hunt. The other factor is the Hawaii DLNR is terrible at herd management. I've been hunting axis during the archery season on Lanai for years but am contemplating not going back because of how unorganized the program is and because they absolutely failed in managing the 2020 drought that killed almost 2/3 of the herd. I'd love to hunt Molokai or Maui but unless you personally know a landowner who will allow you to hunt, be prepared to pay upwards of $5K just for one animal. That's crazy.

Is there anything similar for Sqlite?

Don't overlook https://datasette.io/ even though it does much more than endpoints.
