I would be interested to learn more about Mollie as an alternative to Stripe. I saw that it has some Subscription API endpoints, but I am not sure how it compares in real life to Stripe. How much would I need to build myself in a classical Ruby on Rails SaaS app compared to pay gem/stripe?

Are there any reference implementations for any of mainstream programming language and web development frameworks for this use-case?


Interesting. So, what is the impact on the cognitive functioning of elderly people who regularly take care of their grandchildren?


Universal Blue (Bluefin etc.) has a reusable GitHub template.

https://github.com/ublue-os/image-template


... and it works fabulously. I have been running Bluefin (same folks as Bazzite) from one of these templates for about 6 months and it has been a near on flawless experience. I have moved from Fedora 40->41->42 without having to touch a traditional "upgrade".

I think the logic is to differentiate the "identity" from a "user"

One identity can have multiple users (one for each organization) At the same time, a user can have multiple identities. (e.g. username/password, Google oAuth, SAML etc.)


I visited this site from safari on iOS while being in a Marriott hotel. I am blocked. So the WAF works.


My garden bed has a slug problem. How can FarmBot help me with this? Is there a tool, like a grabber, that automatically catches intruders and carries them away?


This looks cool. It would ve great, if this would get integrated into a Obsidian plugin


I wonder how that category of services, which Porter provides could be called.

I would put the following services in that category:

- Porter - Cloud66 https://www.cloud66.com - Hatchbox https://hatchbox.io

They all manage infrastructure on your behalf within a larger Cloud Service Provider.

Terms I could think of are "DevOps as a Service" or "Platform Engineering as a Service".

How would you call this?

And what alternatives do you see?


Really interesting project.

The source code seems to be on sourceforge.net. I site once important, but now when I see it I either think "the project is most-likely dead" or "can this project be legit? Am I getting malware here?"

This is such a sad thing for me. When I was a kid, Sourceforge.net is where I would always go first to look for software, because I knew that it was a reputable host and that open-source projects participated in a culture of greater respect for users than most freeware projects demonstrate.


Sourceforge changed hands and as far as I can tell, the new owners put some effort into getting rid of all the crap and even into protecting users from crap added by the original authors.

Filezilla, for example, initially participated in SourceForge's adware program under the old owner, but after the owner change, actually provided a clean version on Sourceforge (while the version on the website was and still is adware-bundled).


> Latest version is 0.1.7 (August 10, 2018).

Not saying anything from 2018 isn't valuable... I'm currently working on PDF scraping tools, and my lord, the stuff we're left to work with is abysmal... this could be state of the art.


SourceForge literally looks like one of those your-free-filez.ru style movie sites with all the fake download buttons. Same aesthetic. Just awful lol


A few years ago the company was sold and started bundling their own crap with the downloads, but apparently it was sold again and stopped doing that.


I remember this is one of those sites where you're not sure which one is the actual download button to click.


This is a feature, which does not work at all on my company-managed Win10 Lenovo laptop.
