Let's see if the laws change in time to be relevant. Good thing it's not required for EVs to have an attendant plug the charging cable in for us.

Why rsync and not Fly.io's own https://fly.io/docs/litefs/?

The short answer is that litefs uses a single primary node (see: https://fly.io/docs/litefs/proxy/). I work with Ben so I imagine that over time we'll find a configuration that works with multiple databases each with their own primary node, but until then, this works for now.

I don't know if this is any better but if you prefer reading: https://youtubetranscript.com/?v=7-RgOUT3zeo

Here’s a 6 minute explainer published 4 days ago from the channel Half as Interesting: https://youtu.be/Dr2a5YdQXX4

This is cool!

BTW for anyone else interested - you can hit "show transcript" on any YT vid (with CC I'm guessing) - and follow along with the video and/or CTRL + F to find mentions of things.

On most screens "show transcript" will probably be hidden behind the triple dot menu to the right of the like/dislike buttons.

Reminds me of how Van Halen’s “no brown m&ms” contract rider was actually a concert venue technical competence canary.

I'm disappointed. They're tripling egress bandwidth overage (from $0.10/GB to $0.30/GB, yikes) and making autoscaling a premium feature. Here's an excerpt from the email received 4 hours ago (8:39 ETT) (not sure comment limit length):

• The Individual Plan is meant for personal projects, indie hacking, and for exploring Render without a credit card. It includes free email support, 100 GB in free bandwidth, and 500 free build minutes every month. There is no fee for this plan beyond compute usage.

• The Team Plan is ideal for smaller engineering teams building on Render. It can have up to 10 users and includes autoscaling, preview environments, email and chat support, 500 GB free bandwidth, and 500 free build minutes per team member. It costs $19 per user per month, plus compute usage.

• The Organization Plan is best for larger engineering orgs and teams with special compliance needs. It includes everything in the Team plan, along with prioritized support, custom compute instances, and 1 TB in free bandwidth. It costs $29 per team member monthly, plus compute usage.

• The Enterprise Plan includes everything in the Organization Plan and adds volume discounts, contractual uptime guarantees, strict support SLAs, and access to dedicated customer success engineers.

We're making two other changes to allow us to offer sensible compute pricing that scales with you:

• Egress bandwidth usage beyond a plan's free allowance will be charged at $30 per additional block of 100 GB. Inbound bandwidth will remain free.

• We're removing Starter Plus and Standard Plus instance types. Services already on these instances can continue to use them through 2023.

The cost per team member seems particularly egregious; I can't think of any other PaaS that does this OTOH

It's pretty similar to Netlify's per-user pricing and team limits. Which is ironic as we moved some our sites away from Netlify over to Render due to that pricing change and now the same thing is happening with Render.

Apparently not. Some have already reached out.

I seriously doubt that.

Yep.
