<p>Sending things is hard, it does not help asking people in who receives the things. You need to speak with someone who has experience sending things in the way you need to do it. Getting a package from China is not the same thing as sending things from China.<p>I am the first to acknowledge that I know very little of how things works outside my country. The only reasons I know that is with many failures. When I lived abroad sometimes people feel talked down to when you as an rich outsider tried to understand things. I do not understand the culture or the reasons for things. It did not help asking in because I did not know how to ask the right question.</p>

<p>Aluminium is a really bad container for aciduous food stuff. You need a good plastic liner in the cans to handle it. So it is absolutely not a perfect container.<p>The problem is the packaging not the recycling.</p>

<p>I had no problems either, until we hit peaks. We hit our problems at about 7 million unique logins per month, we do not track visits in the same way. I am not that invested in Matomo and it just costs time for me.<p>I am not sure how you scale Matomo we could not vertically scale anymore, we never did MySQL clusters because it just was not cost efficient for internal reasons.</p>

<p>The tracking was not the issue the problem was report generation with segments. Every segment makes you regenerate all the reports. Tracking part is a problem because you need to split the tracking and report part of you want to have something robust.</p>

<p>Matomo is nice on low traffic, but when we have a sustained rate of 5-25 logins per second and above things become real slow. Using regexps is really bad when you start having problems, but they are fine on low traffic sites.<p>So If like it but it is a headache on high traffic sites. If anyone have an easy solution I would gladly accept it.</p>

<p>I want to note that if you read the paper carefully you can see that it does highlight some of the things that are still troublesome. Drop out rate, pay, evaluation and other stuff.  As someone who believes this is still an issue for women,  I can also accept that there can be a bias against men. Both things can be true and the paper does highlight this.</p>

<p>This is not my view the only bad stories I have seen here are instances that should be taken care of even with out code of conducts. The reason why I see no problems with code of conducts is that it gets really tiresome to interact with people who are abrasive.<p>It is not a political thing in my view. I get more tired by the metadrama. Things did change when open source became a business. It is impossible to compare a voluntary based project with a big  one. I think the issue is that most people have no experience in doing large scale self organization.</p>

<p>Good answer from you part, but I am not qualified to write an response. Pain is temporary for most of us, what we mostly need is something that is slightly better than placebo. I will stick to my "it is probably more complex" I will not make a decision.</p>

<p>> [you can] stop accepting imperfect PRs in order to maximize ROI from your work, but that’s not what we do in the Zig project<p>The real bottle neck when you want to grow is connecting with the right people. An LLM is not helping with that if you want to build a community. When you use LLM to skip the need to understand a problem how are you ever going to get a reputation that I can trust?<p>The post is not about reputation it about seeing how people respond and work with you in a community.<p>EDIT: I see that you frame it as a help and a tool and sure it might work, but I feel like it is just another obstacle.</p>

<p>"pain free" is a long way from the pain is manageable. Pain is an understudied subject, where we have too little knowledge. Just using the word manageable is an indication of this.</p>

<p>Cool! Could you give some concrete examples of apps or traffic patterns where you think IPv6 may noticeably improve performance on phones? Are you mainly referring to NAT traversal during connection setup, or to something that also affects traffic after the connection is established?</p>

<p>30 USD/month and 0.045 USD/GB for ingress it is ok if you are big. It is a cheap service to build yourself. I do feel the pain of it being hard to get IPv4 minimal connectivity on ipv6 only hosts, i.e. for me a 1 USD/GB would be fine.</p>
