I saw their original announcement and they said that their infra (3 AMD EPYC from generations ago, 3 Intel servers from 2 generations ago, 2 80-core ARM servers) would cost $24k/month at Equinix prices. I checked Hetzner's equivalent offerings, it would be ~$1.5k/month for newer AMD servers. It would probably be even less if they went with older servers listed at their auction. And it probably would be even less if they just moved their CI runners to virtual servers on Hetzner's cloud.

Seriously, Hetzner provides so much move value per dollar, sometimes I fear that one day they will find out and just jack up the prices to match the rest.

They did the calculations for Hetzner themselves and came to $4258.33/mo.

I use Mailcatcher for almost ten years now and never had a problem with it. Maybe is doesn't need maintenance?

There's no rush to move away from MailCatcher or MailHog, but if you're not using those solutions already I see no reason to use them over the maintained options.

A tool like this is very useful, but this one isn't being maintained anymore. MailHog isn't either.

MailPit, MailCrab and smtp4dev are modern alternatives.

At first I thought this was a new version of the "officially" supported node-red-dashboard [1], but that doesn't seem to be the case. The landing page doesn't seem to indicate it is different, but clicking through Getting Started they differentiate. All the screenshots look very similar to the vanilla dashboard, but looking at the two githubs [2][3] shows it isn't a lazy fork. Could anyone from flowfuse shed light on how their version is different?

> The original Node-RED Dashboard is based on Angular v1, which is no longer maintained. Although small patches have been and will continue to be applied on a "best can do" basis, there will be no major feature upgrades. The lack of ongoing maintenance and updates has the potential to lead to underlying security breakages, a risk we are not comfortable taking. We have recognized the need to innovate and adapt, which is why we are creating a completely new project to replace the existing Node-RED Dashboard.

You might be hitting QOS limitations where traffic from Google is bundled with YouTube et al and served at a lower priority ?

In my experience Zoom is always slightly better, but at a nitpicking level. I use meet day in day out, and fallback to whatever we have in hand if it's unworkable (pixelation would hit that line), and never saw zoom or Skype or discord being significantly better at these times.

That would be against net neutrality laws here in The Netherlands, but we also get low bitrates when screensharing.

But Google Meet is pretty good otherwise. Zoom is good too. All others I have used have been quite annoying to use.

Ah. Point still stands though, distributed storage is what really unlocks this concept.

Wordpress is a pretty bad example though, surely you’d just CDN cache the pages!

opcache doessn't cache user data. it's for caching bytecode in memory as long as the php script/server is running

i'd like to see a comparison against a firecracker vm and a docker container
