OpenAI could begin to accept pre-signed URLS to accommodate this use case. Would reduce the amount of people with access to your private data by 1.

lordpankake | 3 years ago | on: Swarmlet: A self-hosted, open-source Platform as a Service
Sadly like many Docker Swarm based projects, this has become abandonware. I use Docker Swarm with Portainer for managing services with ecoeats[1], a decision that was made years ago, just before Swarm was revealed to be absolutely dead in the water. I initially used Swarmlet before switching to Portainer, as there were far too many bugs and missing tools needed to effectively manage a Swarm that went beyond stateless Node containers.
With Portainer and Swarm I've been forced to manually intervene with rollouts more times than I would have liked due to Swarm-specific errors and other quirky networking behaviour. At least it's simpler than Kubernetes!
lordpankake | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: What companies are embracing “HTML over the wire”?
I'm building a webapp[0] for turning Clickup docs into static sites, using CF Workers. There isn't a framework for Workers that has the flexibility I need, so I home-rolled one that only sends rendered HTML over the wire. Async components are supported too, so if I have a particularly data-intensive component the renderer just inlines a tiny JS script that sends a request to the worker again, which then returns just that component in HTML.
Could be worth releasing on its own as a GitHub project!

Old-timers did without memory safety too, which is why I'm switching our company's stack over to good ol' C

Fastly doesn't run on AWS.

Cloudfront, by Amazon's own admission, specialises in high bandwidth delivery (ie huge videos). Fastly has consistently better performance as a small object cache, which makes it the choice for web assets

Yep! Such a fantastic alternative to k8s for most cluster needs.

A project I've been working on. Allows you to serve Google Drive files through a reverse proxy, works on serverless + serverful hosts!

Reading through Cold War-era plans for post-apocalyptic Britain makes me shiver. The idea that any of the broadcasts talking about "stay indoors, no help is coming" and "the water you have may only last 14-days or more" could one day come true is truly terrifying.

We did this a couple years ago! It works similarly, plus our version is open source (not sure if their one is). Runs on Google Apps script, but you could use it on any hosted js service really.

I doubt this has anything to do with my Unlimited Drive storage thing. Google are doing this to stop API consumers from storing user data on their own, presumably less safe than Google's, servers. I agree with that decision completely.

Search them up on ebay! Loads of IT admins for schools sell a random email with you. Pretty scammy.

yh hopefully they don't ban me for this

This is a complete hack job and probably useless if Google changes free storage for docs.
That being said, they currently allow the guys at /r/datahoarder to use gsuite accounts costing £1 for life with unlimited storage quotas. These are regularly filled to like 50TB and Google doesn't bat an eye.

genuinely sorry if you're a Google employee (probably won't put this on my Internship CV)

Check the issues! Some people have tried quite hard to figure that one out.
