Would be interested to see a cost breakdown for the ECR vs S3 and compute cost.
Unless I totally misread it, it's their own S3 cluster

perfect answer tbh just scrap server logs. sites that offer blogging capabilities as service should do that for their users and provide 'local analytics'. its really trivial to do :/ u get tons of info.
if u need more a lot of webservers can also dish out additional logs for you. applications can also be trivially configured to track such things themselves at near 0 cost and effort.
hell, theres ready to use log collectors that will give u even nice dashboarding capabilities if you want to provide more fancy offerings in analytics. if ppl like that so much isnt it an easy sell? non invasive analytics?
(should be noted some platforms do this ofc.. :) )
I was confused by your comment until I realised you meant scrape the server logs, not scrap them
I thought the "multiple anime personalities explaining things to each other" style of tech blogging was so 2018

I feel like that article took longer than it should have done to say that your storage probably won't work
I recently had to argue a junior into leaving the health check frequency alone on an ECS container: the regular log entries annoyed her and she didn't know how to filter logs, so her solution was to take healthchecks down to every five minutes, as just one example of trying to talk to people about the unhappy path.
That sounds more like a disaster waiting to happen than a junior. I find it difficult to believe that she didn't know the purpose of the healthcheck, so it sounds like breaking (someone else's problem) instead of addressing gaps in ability

My one experience with this recently is that UPS will charge you anyway for the duty and if you don't pay they will threaten to turn you over to debt collectors even if they don't deliver the package. So I'm not sure why they in particular would care.
I had the same with FedEx. I reported it as a lost padkage at X value and they decided to write off the customs charge
I don't think I'd ever want someone to consider the hacker news audience when writing a post
A company I used to work at would write posts, put it on hacker news, post the HN link in slack and ask everyone with an account to upvote it

Yeah, screenshot on Monday, messed with the app that evening, tried using it Tuesday morning -- dead.
I've seen people on PureGym's Twitter successfully refreshing screenshots weekly though, and the API response suggests the same.
That being said, I couldn't find a validation endpoint to check if mine got invalidated by something specific (maybe signing out?) or if there's some other magic happening.
I wonder if opening the app invalidated it, and those people who had it working just screenshot once.
My gym has a similar system but I realised it's time based and the app functions without Internet. I installed the app onto an old android with no sim, logged in at home over WiFi and it successfully regenerated QRs without data

Nope. As I read it, any token less than a week old would work. So for any user, they have 7 * 24 * 60 tokens live at any time.
He said the code from Monday didn't work on Tuesday
dwedge commented on Nginx introduces native support for ACME protocol blog.nginx.org/blog/nativ... · Posted by u/phickey
Not gonna lie, setting up Nginx, Certbot inside docker is the biggest PITA ever. you need certificates to start the NGINX server but you need the NGINX server to issue certificates? see the problem? It is made infinitely worse by a tonne of online solutions and blog posts none of which I could ever get to work. I would really appreciate if someone has documented this extensively for docker compose. I dont want to use libraries like nginx-proxy as customizing that library is another nightmare alltogether
Usually the solution is to either not add ssl until you have the certs, or use selfsigned/snakeoil placeholder certs to get nginx started.
Personally I use dns everywhere. I have a central server running dehydrated and dns challenges every night which then rsyncs to all the servers (I'm going to replace it with vault). I kind of like having one place to check for certs
