Isn’t the new Digg significantly younger though?

That was really interesting, thanks! There’s a lot of these kind of “ditches” where I live, the entire village is only 20 years old so they clearly had this in mind.

The two huge benefits are that you only pay for what you use and you don’t need to spend any effort managing it. For my own personal stuff, it makes zero sense to have something running continuously as the number of invocations per week is like less than 10!

The time spent managing stuff can’t be understated either. At my prevous job, we used EC2, and involved a fair bit of management: always doing deploys to roll out the latest AMI’s with security patches, doing load tests for different trading peaks and working out how many instances we’ll need at what size, monitoring the instances during deployments on the chance that an instance might not be brought back in, which would sometimes happen.

My current job, it’s 100% serverless. The website, any API’s, everything. We never have to think about scaling or patching or load testing. The running costs maybe higher but the actual costs for the teams is less.

I’m going to look into migrating to Scaleway, looks to have the serverless stuff I’d need!

Interesting. Just had a look at scaleway and can see it has functions, and surprisingly even an object storage service called… S3. How are they getting away with that?

I can’t see any dotnet examples for functions but maybe I haven’t looked enough. Certainly looks interesting though, I’ll look further!

Oh it has a terraform provider too, nice!

Do any of these providers offer anything like Lambda, S3, Dynamo and EventBridge?

Done. Although it does expose a bigger issue that the site can point to instances that can be unreachable by certain users. Maybe the whitelist shouldn’t contain any instances that have any wide range blocks.

I just spoke with the admin, they’re blocking VPNs (guessing via a rule within Cloudfront).

Ok - so when I switch to a UK VPN server, it works, but when I’m on an Ireland server, it doesn’t. So they must have a block on the specific IP for the Irish server I was using or just flat out blocking Ireland.

This is what I’m seeing…

I am actually yeah. Maybe I’ll suddenly transport myself to a different country and see if that solves it.

I should clarify - CTA == Call To Action - a primary button that is used to drive users through a journey we want to take them down.

Yep, a colleague brought some back years ago when he visted the states and I tried some, I ended up spitting it out.

It genuinely does taste like vomit. The the yanks have the audacity to laugh at British food!

Maybe db0? At least based off what you’re after in your comments.

Of course there’s also the more regional instances, such as feddit.uk, lemmy.ca, etc.

Change instance and block lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.

I wish there were a better name that represents lemmy & piefed. I know “threadiverse” is probably the “correct” name but it’s a bit… shit.

His job is to keep NATO together and strong, of course he wants the US to remain a part of it.

Recommending lemmy.zip itself is problematic because it’s blocking UK users.

Not even Nazis or paedophiles?
