Why not just use Claude Code's native "Remote Control" feature?

Even with a dedicated IP, SendGrid has always had poor deliverability.

I switched to Postmark years ago and never looked back.

I'm near a major city. Your comments unfortunately do not align with my experience, nor the experience of several people that I know. Testing has confirmed this.

It amazes me that people still use and recommend Cloudflare's DNS servers for resolution. Cloudflare DNS does not support EDNS Client Subnet. As a result, DNS queries resolved by their service are likely to return IP addresses for many CDNs that are physically farther away from you, leading to a slower internet browsing and viewing experience.

Sacrificing performance for a faster lookup time makes no sense in 2026. This is the one area where I continue to use Google DNS as it just works. Use anything but Cloudflare in this case, please.

Parent pro-tip: Next time the iPad is having Bluey episode playback issues, check to see if you're actually using Cloudflare DNS.

Sure, you are only proving my point even further. I just happen to have a personal policy of "no boxes in prod under 16 cores". :)

450 million pageviews on Vercel = $46,000

450 million pageviews on a single 16c/32t OVH box with nginx and a 3 Gbps connection = $245

While I agree with your comment about learning more by doing the work yourself, you don't need to be a billionaire to acquire one of these. Yes, they are expensive. A typical pro-level WRC spec WRX STI rally car from Vermont SportsCar goes for about $600k. They are actually very reliable though. And thats a bargain compared to just about any modern hypercar.

Rally cars also must be street legal because they are driven on public roads between stages.

This comment made me chuckle a little bit because blockchain has been around since at least 2009, which was ~15 years ago.

I would encourage you to watch any recent YouTube video produced by any Cybertruck owner. Middle America, who is generally anti-EV, disagrees with you. That is why Tesla is doing this.

It was working for people who were willing to buy an EV. Those people generally fall into two groups: 1) They specifically want an EV due to $reasons or 2) They are looking for a new car, and are willing to consider an EV. Both of these groups are fine with the current S3XY lineup because they resemble "normal" cars. That's why the Model S originally had so much success - it was a normal car, but electric. Even then, it was still a hard sell in 2013 to early adopters.

I'm going to stereotype a bit here, but Tesla YouTubers/Tweeters/Fanatics and the two groups above aside, everyone else is generally "against" EVs. If you own one, you know exactly what I'm talking about. The Cybertruck is Tesla's attempt to change that. Don't convince them on the green-ness or potential cost-savings of home charging, convince them because it's cool. It's something that no other manufacturer can compete against. (for now)

Tesla building the Cybertruck is their attempt to get people to buy something specifically because it is "cool", and not because it is "an EV".

If the customer buys it, they switch to an EV platform, thereby accelerating Tesla's mission of "transition[ing] to sustainable energy".

Leading with "it's an EV" is the primary reason why "legacy auto" has been scaling back their EV manufacturing, because people generally don't care about "EV". They do care about something "cool" though.

The problem is your service provider, Zoho. Zoho is used by a massive amount of spammers. As a result, many email blocking and verification services will flag any MX records that lead back to Zoho.

Here's a secret: IPFS is not a data storage protocol. It's a data routing protocol.

Start thinking that way and it will take you to a whole new universe.

To each their own, but I think this is said more frequently about Cloudflare because they are often playing the middleman, via their CDN service. In comparison, AWS and others are the actual origin.

Chevy Bolt is $25k, before a bunch of credits. After it can get down to $16k or so.

45 minutes in traffic or 45 minutes of actually driving 80mph on the highway?

The average commute from home to work is about 15 miles each way, or ~26 minutes.
