jodiug | 1 year ago | on: It is hard to recommend Google Cloud
I'm surprised to find all comments so strongly against Google. I do not like their customer support nor their surprise product closure acts... but I do find their cloud interface easy to use, pricing is solid, and (K8s/Cloud Run) I have barely been affected by any significant outage in some 8 years of use.
Contrast to Azure who despite their SLA had significant outages every few months that were very noticeable, sometimes even requiring us setting up an entire new K8s project from scratch. AWS is better in terms of reliability. Their UX is not great though, I often feel like I'm a wizard waving my wand with permissions and connecting things like audit trails. Many actions are a bit delayed in their effect. I've also had to contact support at times to raise arbitrary limits in the platform.
In balance I would recommend GCP. Their product closures have not affected me enough to scare me away. I guess experiences vary depending on which product we are using.

Not VanMoof, but I worked in the project team doing the theft recovery platform for Gazelle. We managed to recover literally almost every bike, and the recovery rate was 140% because we often found more than just 1 bike reported stolen.
It really worked unexpectedly well, I've heard a lot of skepticism and I don't know how things are at VanMoof but if the will is there it really works

Try the API made by Textkernel. It works quite well.
jodiug | 12 years ago | on: An easy way to share files P2P, and how it works
Recently, I started building a website which does pretty much exactly this. When I had it up and running after a few days (the WebRTC API is relatively simple), I found sharefest and have been using that since.
It's a great way to get files from one place to the other. The (encrypted) data does not go via a server, making this potentially the fastest, most scalable and safest type of file transfer available in a browser. One of the extra perks is that sharing files on a local network becomes really really fast. It's miles ahead
Props to the devs for making this! :)

It does depend on SQLAlchemy. Can this also be used with asyncpg? Is it on the roadmap?
