Because GitHub has load balances that direct traffic occasionally through a server hosted under Chinese jurisdiction.

Where the hell did you get that from? Do you have a source for that?

For me personally it's easier to watch a video than to read a blog post or whatever these days. That's mostly because I can listen/watch while doing chores. However, if I need to use it later there's just no way I can find it or find what was in it. I like the format of Theprimeagen in particular when he goes over blog posts, I can always refer to that when I want to. So I'd say:

• videos as a replacement for written media: no
• videos as an addition to written media: yes

I think Supabase does this well. The documentation is there, videos are more specific and lengthy

There are still plans with data caps in Belgium, this is limited to the "cheapest" plans though at about 30 EUR a month

I haven’t found any info on such regulation existing

In Belgium, the RRN (SSN) is considered confidential data and its use is restricted to specific purposes, typically related to administrative, legal, or public interest matters. To ask for RRN, you'd need authorization and it's highly unlikely you'd get it just to validate someone's social media account.

Ah thanks, I couldn't find anything about it. I run all my stuff on a server behind a Tailscale network, so nothing is accessible without VPN access. I thought it might need connections from other instances.

It's always been that way lol

Google is full of similar posts, all linking to deleted posts. This is spam

How is self-hosting in regards to resources (disk space, memory, network etc)? And does it need to be public?
